>>26271It's a great game. It isn't misogynistic the way GTA is (having said that, I've never actually played GTA, I'm just assuming it is based on the content I've seen of GTA from playthrough or video clips). You can play it for the story, you can meander around and complete the challenges, you can treat it as a collect a thon, you can go down all the side quests, it's a game that you can play in many different ways and the graphics are amazing. There is no prostitution that the player can engage in. I recommend playing RDR 1 first even though RDR 2 is a prequel because the story of RDR 1 enhances the content within RDR 2.
>>26283I didn't like Sadie Adler's character, but many do.
Her character doesn't really go through a transformation or arc and it's boring to me. I feel like it's obvious she's written by a male writer who is intending to be progressive. I appreciate the sentiment, but hur dur traumatized woman becomes psycho and full of rage with no other defining characteristics is a very male coded trope to me. It would be more interesting if her issues with rage were addressed or if she changed from being that way. There's a whole genre of movies made by men which are about female characters who are raped and then become killers and it came off that way to me. Sadie is so violent she isn't reliable and I wish that were touched on for realism. My favorite female characters were Mrs. Grimshaw, Abigail, and Bonnie McFarland. All of the female characters are relatively well rounded considering they're minor characters. I truly believe Rockstar is trying to appeal to more players by not making RDR as sexist and I believe it worked.
