RDR2 released a year ago and I can't stop thinking how incredible it was
- Thread starter Segafreak
- Start date
Hahahaha
Many games exist that you could use this argument. This isn't one of them
I know it's unpopular but I didn't enjoy RDR much, as the setting and tedium turned me off so I didn't get RDR2. Watching videos doesn't instill much confidence that I'd enjoy it.
I think TLoU2 will be more up my alley although I'm not super hyped about it either. It looks good but eh.

So why did rdr2 get significantly fewer goty awards? God of war is a better game, get over it
I don't know why people always have to bring up God of War in threads about RDR2.
RDR2 reviewed better, GoW received more goty awards.
The awards aren't enough. The numbers, man. THE NUMBERS. 97. 95. 97. 95. 97. 95. What does the meaningless two point difference mean? What does RDR2 got that Gears of War don't got? The sleepless hours, how they can drive a man to insanity just thinking about such a conundrum.
It's good in terms of graphics, story, and characters. But that gameplay though. The sluggish movement, slow animations, unresponsiveness controls, the shooting killed my interest. And who's idea was it to make is so that you can't even jog while in camp
lol this is the worst game you could have used that argument for
lol this is the worst game you could have used that argument for
If you seriously think the game was saying "who gives a shit about the native Americans because Arthur has tuberculosis", you were quite literally not paying attention.
But why. Debate me, and if you win, I'll give you 500 silver for Destiny 2.
When you put it like that, that's actually generous. A whole emote, that's pretty crazy huh
Yikes. looks like that hit a nerve.
This post wont change the fact that the game controls like garbage, and still got beat by God Of War for GOTY. You can write paragraphs for days and that wont change any of that.
All Im saying is that the game doesnt live up to that 97 it got at all.
Wait and GOW isnt? GOW is considered the game of the generation by the whole industry. Have you not accepted that or something?
GOW got more praise than red dead did for sure. Not sure where you are getting all this from.
Did it sell more by being on more consoles? Sure, Does every multiple do that? No. Let it go.
as a matter of fact there isnt one thing that Red Dead does better than GOW. When it comes to story, controls, character plot all of it is better in GOW.
Yup, that's why it has 94 MC compared to 97 MC for RDR2, because the entire industry considers it the game of the generation.
Makes perfect sense.
Honestly, can't you just accept both games ate stellar, some people like one of them better, other people like the other one better, and move on?
RDR2 has like no gameplay and the shittiest controls I've experienced this gen. GOW winning more GOTY awards says it all. Time to accept it.
This is a really weird argument to make. Also, I had way way more interest in the RDR2 story than I did in God of War's, so...shrug.
Where you here on planet earth the last 2 years or something? GOW even with a lower meta score got a waaay better reception than Red Dead did. Are you kidding me? Yes the entire industry considers GOW the game of the generation. Did you not see how many more GOTY awards got over Red Dead? Where have you been dude? even on the biggest gaming stage of them all GOW got picked over Red Dead.
This isnt about accepting both games are stellar, this whole thread was about a game that was better than Red Dead. It ended up being a game that came out before it.
You do realize that GotY awards don't actually mean anything, right?
ok? thats you. when it comes to the industry they showed that they enjoyed GOW more than Red Dead. which is why the game won more GOTy and is considered game of the gen, by more people.
What if I told you the Metacritic score is literally an aggregate of what the reviewers, you know, the actual industry press, thought?
Mind blown, I know, right?
There is no actual "game of the gen" statistic. That's not a thing.
We are in a gaming forum, where we talk about games.....and you are here telling me that GOTY of the year awards for games mean nothing...
Wow...just wow.
Im done. lol I just cant. Lol
God I hope not, what a shitty gen if that's the case lol
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Any game can get a good review. But GOTY? That's a whole different story. You can try to convince yourself otherwise but it won't work. GOTY is a much bigger achievement than a good review.
I always love to imagine how we are going to remember these games.
Super Metroid and RE4 are the two examples I always think of. On release they had fanatical fans but I don't think people were ready to call them the GOATs or remarkable achievements in the industry until about 5 years had passed.
Bloodbourne and Zelda to me are the ones that are going to age the best but I could definitely be wrong and maybe it will be Red Dead 2 or God of War.

It really isn't that important. GotY awards aren't real awards, they don't mean anything beyond "at the end of the year this was the game we came to a consensus vote on".
Yakuza 0 is a better game than most games that came out in 2017, but it won almost no GotY awards. It doesn't mean anything.
I put lots of time into Yakuza 0 and the only good thing about it was the story and characters. Everything else sucks. That's the real reason it won nothing.
What??
What happens if a year had tons and tons of 7 out of ten games, and nothing of true greatness.
Game of the year means nothing in retrospect....Ive never really seen or heard someone say. "X game was game of the year in 20**" but I have heard people reference a games review score.
WHat was game of the year 2015? 2016? 2017? I have absolutely no idea.
Also, which game of the year is THE game of the year?
I was astounded by it as a cinematic experience and it's World. Outside of TLOU II I don't see it being bested in terms of story telling and characterisation for at least a few years.
The gameplay was way, way, way more fun for me than God of War, so...
It's almost like there is no such thing as objective quality.
What the f?
The mission design is from 2001. Linear scripted missions with no freedom in an amazing free world
It is such a big flaw that the whole game suffers greatly from it imo
It was like playing an epic. An amazing story and one of the most memorable protagonists I've ever played as. It was an incredible experience.
I've never met a Yakuza player that played the games for the combat tbh. The combat is honestly pretty shit in every Yakuza game, it feels like something tacked on. I play the games because I think the general story is good.The gameplay was way, way, way more fun for me than God of War, so...
