I haven’t played a single video game in the last 8 years. Trash like Call of Duty and GTA (and of course these s***ty sports games, but that’s obvious) ruined the entire industry in my eyes, which influenced my departure almost a decade ago.

Just picked up a PS4 in anticipation to play what will be the greatest game of this decade (FFVII Remake) and notice that there are some gems over the years that I have missed, and I wouldn’t mind exploring while I wait.

One name that keeps coming up is RDR2. Now, given my background and taste, if I dislike what everyone thinks is so “cool” about GTA and anything Rockstar, would I also dislike this game? Or is this different? Is it overrated? Or is this actually one of the greatest games of all time, as it is commonly hailed?

The name alone is probably one of the worst titles to a game I’ve ever heard.

Willing to be swayed though.

Mario ?

OP with the horrible bait

Please do not engage

Mark objective on map
Put horse on cruise control for 20mins
Be interrupted by a side quest. Might give something worthwhile so u stop, and take a 20min detour on ur horse.
Insert 1min gunfight.
Ride back to side quest location for 20mins.
Finish quest, get nothing of value.
Continue cruise controlling ur horse to ur original mission marker for another 20mins.
Launch mission and watch 5min cutscene.
Cruise control horse for 15mins to new destination.
Kill 4 guys in 2mins.
Ride horse back to mission marker for 15mins.

There goes 2 hours and 1 mission accomplished.

Rinse and repeat for 100 hours.

Jesus that sounds like a terrible time.

Why is this game praised so much?

OP theres a shadow of the colossus remake, also The Last Guardian if you liked Shadow.

Uncharted 4 was amazing, i also recently played 1-3 remastered for ps4

I loved Wd2, but i dont think based on the OP that you will like that game. Still, i think its the best open world sandbox game on ps4. I like GTA, but also think its overrated to some extent. Wd2 gives you way more ways to interact with the environment whereas the Rockstar games are way more scriped

Also play Rayman Legends, its the best sidescroller platformer ive ever played and has couch co op unlike most console games nowadays

It IS impressive in a technical sense. Graphics are nice, level of detail is ridiculous. Story is well written too.

But yeah its a massive time sink and the controls suck. I put like 15 hours into it and havent touched it since. It isnt a fun game. Its a cowboy simulator.

Not a fan of uncharted either, but ill cosign flyhiii and say uncharted 4 is much better game than rdr2.

Rdr 2 the most disappointing piece of s*** ever, ask anyone who actually played the og. Not even a videogame imo

Your too edgy and insecure you don’t deserve to play RDR2 or any classic u missed cause of ur edginess

Well, first off & I swear I mean this with the upmost respect but you gotta stop being some elitist hoe about video games.

Nothing wrong with GTA, COD or sports games lol wtf you mad at people for liking the games or the developers making the games? Either way s*** isn’t enough to be talking the way you are. You’re the only one playing games to be different.

Pick up RD2. Pick up several games in fact because for 8 years you played yourself. So worrying about whatever everybody else is doing or think is “cool”. Go read up on it, watch some vids on youtube & make your own decision on if you wanna spend the money on it. Coming here & asking us will only end up with you doing whatever we tell you to do. Which is what you claim you don’t do. Right?

Yep.
People have to stop treating games like this.

I cannot remember EVER having some of the conversations we have about games as we mature as a kid. Growing up with friends/family it was about the games. Thats it.

Now everybody wanna act like everybody makes s***ty games & they only playing picasso & act like they know what any of these hardware specs really mean

Thank God I never lost sight that its just games for fun lol

You probably won't like RDR2, I only played like the first couple hours and dropped it. Its heavy on story so if you are looking for one you might like it but it doesn't have much going for it gameplay wise which is what put me off.

Try to take a look at Sekiro, Nier Automata, Bloodborne, Yakuza 0 and also Persona 5 if you like JRPGs.

Persona 5

The first tower is long as hell :​

What a pretentious twat

I don't think so? I think the only Palace that was kinda frustrating and just made me wanna just rush to finish it was the space station s***. One of the best games last gen tho

Dude is the most pretentious f*** on this site
