I'm guessing that's the Epic game system or something else that isn't Steam.
Either way, the game starts off slow, keeps being slow and doesn't seem to pick up until you end up being a rootin' tootin' Wild West outlaw who is a crackshot
Online is just for *******.

I tried a PS5 once, on an AirBnB I had rented out.
Any game I put in wanted a login which completely misses the point of a casual games system.
I just put Sony into the calling Obama a ****** box with that one and let the idea of being entertained by it DEI.

well, you need an account that you can link bank details to so you can buy games and subscriptions, in your case you could have just logged in as a guest. -

Yeah, a deck of cards or a chessboard don't give me any of that nonsense and so casuals, like me, will just stroll on.
Nothing against those dead into it feeling grand in their own way though.
But if I wanted to impress a girl by loading up a C64 game with the possibility of a syntax error appearing halfway through the ten minutes it takes I'd be married and have kids and there'd be water flowing underground.

I think that would have been a great game. An online game that was more like a weekend of camping rather than a jump on and get a quick half hour battered off which is what RDR2:O is like.
But they separated the two so some folk won't even know what the game is actually like and so you can't hate them for their fun.

I think gaming's really stagnated in the last 10-15 years. In fact, the last time I've been truly impressed by gaming is probably World of Warcraft way back when, finding a world I could navigate and anything seemed possible.
Just seems like lots of Ubisoft type clones with no original gameplay. Hopefully the next GTA is a banger
Edit - actually RDR 2 and the last of us 2 were the last games to impress me

I've not played any of The Last of Us (Or watched the show) but apparently between the first and second game the community got split in two by the storyline and so I've kept shy of it.
Personally I reckon that, like the Internet, gaming died when it got popular with the masses. It got easier, preachier and expected more of a person than it did before (That would be about personal details rather than effort in winning).
Anything I play now doesn't have gender/race/sexuality in it and is just colourful shapes solving problems against the clock with music in it.
I never did touch World of Warcraft as it looked too cartoony for me. I played the equivalent called Guild Wars but that too got too cartoony and so that got dropped.
I suppose in about 20 years time people will talk about being able to play Pac-Man at the arcade in romantic ways and I'll be the ancient codger saying they don't know about the off-table tactics from strangers standing around you and how going to go to the toilet was a factor in concentration to the groans and modern swear words dismissing me as senile.
Still, there will be a different version of that reality for most of them at some point (If they are lucky).
GTA VI should be the rebalancer or absolute death of gaming in the traditional sense. It seems, just now at least, the equalities and marginalised aspects (Dealt with perfectly in San Andreas) is going to be the Damocles sword in how it goes.
I trust Rockstar to stick to the original DMA roots in pointing things out and laughing at them but times change, and as you have mentioned, games aren't what they used to be.

Last of Us: it has an annoying lesbian subplot with an ugly ethnic woman and they also did something that I won't post as many on here will be looking forward to season 2 of the show unaware of the shocking twist.
Gaming: I think the entertainment medium in general is highly sanitised, woke and stupid. Those Marvel MCU movies are just absolute garbage. There's also no movements in music anymore. Who are the good new bands? Music was great the 60's to 90's and then it collapsed. I was considering getting tickets for 83 year old Bob Dylan's upcoming gig in Edinburgh ffs and I've already seen him and know he cannae sing for peanuts anymore
Wow: I played guild wars 2 a bit and it was quite good. I've also sunk a load of hours into final fantasy online

You say you're not really following but you are more like Dylan was when he last visited Scotland and fell asleep during the press junket

I once saw Brian Wilson in Universal Studios Florida doing an afternoon shift to a crowd of none on a public walkway.
Pretty shocking if you ask me
He played Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis which I thought was apt.
Not bigging myself up but it seemed like I was the only one who knew both Brian and that song.
