Too gamey? really? From what I can tell people criticizing rdr 2 for not being gamey enough and going for realism and immersion.
Exactly. The echochamber effect has so many users here unable to see the reality of things outside of this bubble. It's hilarious and super frustrating at the same time.
i mean the game won 132 GOTY awards (only GOW was higher). This game is critically loved, and it's not because of the "honeymoon phase"
I can dislike the game without any "eco chamber" influencing me, thanks. It's not my cup of tea for a ton of reasons and I had a bad time while trying to play it, and I am free to discuss those reasons without being dismissed as just part of an echo chamber.
oh of course you can, im just responding to the idea that this game is "divisive" either people think its a masterpiece or not
Man Ive only been to one contaminated area but yeah it was awesome. They need to utilize the echos more.
All open worlds are illusions it's how you mask it, they all have inherent limitations. Red dead 2 open world is the best there is
Yeah this is my experience too, the "only in the ERA bubble does anybody dislike the game!" excuse is really weird - the reasons I've heard in real life for not liking it are the same as what you read here.
I mean... it really is only a small Sub set of detractors. The game won 130+ GOTY awards way past the so called "honeymoon phase" the vast majority loved the game
Complaints is predictable since rockstar games are massive so more people will dislike them, but it's not a 50/50 divisive split the vast majority view it as an epic game
You should, one of the games this gen will be defined by, you rarely get single players as comprehensive and consistent in quality like this. The main protagonist is perhaps the best written and acted I've experienced in gaming.
Did you play with auto aim ? 50+ hours in and I'm still thinking I need to change something in the aiming settings just for it to feel like any other games standard gunplay. And I don't know whose idea it was to have the whole screen get sea sickness like you're on a moving boat the second one enemy starts shooting at you (it only goes away in first person for some reason too :/ ). But other than control issues and a few nitpicks (like not being able to return fire at someone who already shot at you a dozen times in town without getting a bounty) I mostly love it. I do wish the dead eye meter would slowly regen over time without needing to use consumables but that's just another small criticism.
I thought assasins creed odyssey did a good enough job to create a nice world, but there is no denying the world of a difference between the two games' production values, the animation alone is clearly and unequivocally better in rdr2. Not to mention the skeletal structure in relation to terrain, the path finding ai, and graphical detail of the wild life itself. Rdr2 is an objective standard in quality, there is no question about it.
Come on man, there is no question about it.
