John Carpenter \u201cgave up\u201d on Red Dead 2 because of troubles with the \u201cdamn horse\u201d Instagram: John Carpenter\/Rockstar GamesHalloween director John Carpenter has admitted that he never finished Red Dead Redemption 2 due to increasing frustration when it came to a specific gameplay element: horse riding. In an interview with The New Yorker, John Carpenter \u2013 one of the most recognizable and beloved horror filmmakers of all time \u2013 recently admitted that he never finished Red Dead Redemption 2 due to his inability to \u201cget on the damn horse.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m pretty good after all the years I\u2019ve played. But with that one I was terrible,\u201d Carpenter explained when discussing his negative experience with Red Dead Redemption 2. \u201cThe controls weren\u2019t intuitive, at least for me. But I guess everybody else had a good time. It was a popular game.\u201d Carpenter has made a name for himself as one of the most successful horror film directors of all time. His resume includes the likes of Halloween (1978), Escape From New York (1981), The Thing (1982), and many more beloved horror movies. However, Carpenter did reveal in the same interview that he has been playing video games since the 1990s and that Sonic the Hedgehog was the first game that got him into the medium. \u201cThat\u2019s where I started, and I fell in love with it. It was beyond me at that point. But my son, who was much younger, he brought me the rest of the way. He introduced me to certain games, like Halo or platform games.\u201d And while Carpenter may have given up on Red Dead Redemption 2, he has played through some other modern classics, highlighting the Fallout games as some of his favorites. \u201cI\u2019ve been playing this game for quite a while. It\u2019s called Fallout 76. The Fallout games are fun, it\u2019s like a post-apocalyptic world. This game had a rough launch, with problems and bugs, but I really like it. There\u2019s this incredible game called Horizon Forbidden West. Astonishing game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
