This isn’t a complain about the game, neither a compliment.
It’s something personal I guess, not related to anything else, but myself, I think I just need to vent.
Maybe the game romanticize way too much the life in the year around 1900 and the thing is I just love the life how they portrait it. The game is extremely immersive and it’s hitting me hard.
Everything is so simple, there’s so much respect between people, they live camping with a simple life, everybody trying to help to survive as they can, singing at the end of nights, having profound and philosophical talking. It’s such a more human focused life.
Seeing a simple life like that and comparing to the modern world makes me feel sad. Today we have cars, cities, buildings, very few vegetation, a lot of pollution, everybody is so fixed on being clean, good looking, companies rule the world, people accepting being modern slaves in exchange of a little comfort and convenience. It’s truly a disappointment to me.
I’d exchange 20-30 years living in a world like RDR2 shows than 70-80 years in the modern world. That’s right, I’d rather die trying to hunt for food and learning how to survive in the woods than a massive boring life doing the exact same thing every single day in front of a computer.
ok now imagine Arthur is black or native or a woman, and re-evaluate these thoughts from that perspective
Can we have everything back, without racism and misogyny though? I think thats was OP means.
Basically, 1999.
ah yes 1999, when using the word “gay” as an insult on TV was perfectly acceptable
Yes, the late 90s. Notorious for its lack of racism and misogyny.
Crime rates in black communities were down! Just ignore the increase in arrests and incarceration of black people due to a push for an increased police presence in “bad” neighbourhoods.
Women had the world in their hands! Just ignore that time when the president of the United States took advantage of an intern sexually, and SHE was the one that was vilified for the encounter, while he is still remembered as a chill guy.
There have always been racism and misogyny in our world. If you think there wasn’t, you either weren’t there, or were very white and male at the time.
Yes, its always been bad. But a hell of a lot less bad than the 50s that the regressives want to send us back to, where a black boy is hung for someone lying about him whistling at a white woman.
