To me right now is the first Red Dead Redemption. Finally I’m able to play it, I’ve wait for over a decade. No spoilers, zero youtube gameplay videos, zero questions about the game to my friends. It gotta be me, and the game, it happened, and I think it sucks.
Maybe you thinking in “well, you shouldn’t play the second first”. I did not. My first Red Dead game was Red Dead Revolver, I was able to play it a few years ago when I could buy a PS2, but I couldn’t get a PS3 nor a Xbox 360 to play RDR1. It grinded my gears because we got the prequel in PC. When RDR1 came to PC it was so freaking expensive, yet today, I think it is expensive. I was able to buy the game some weeks ago while there was a Steam Sale, and well, I regreat it now.
I don’t like its exploration, its missions, its characters, its world, its secondary missions. its wanted system, and nothing but less important: has a lot of bugs.
That’s my experience in a few words.
What’s the game that you wanted to play but it was a total mess?
Dang, I wish you had played the second one first. Still might not be your thing, but it was a much better story and much better gameplay.
One of the things that make me feel in alone in the RDR’s world is that you can’t interact with any NPC properly, like you does in Fallout 3 or Skyrim. The only times you talk with NPCs is in cinnematics, and is not like you can choose multiple options to interact. In RDR are the NPCs the ones who interact with you by challenging you to a duel, looking for help, ambusshing you, etc. I’m not aware, but I can bet that it’s the same in RDR2.
Yes, that detail is exactly the same in 2.
I’m completely the other way. Loved the first one and can’t get to grips with RDR2. There’s too much stuff to do and not enough riding around gunning down bad guys
It’s set in the 1800s! Everyone’s a racist or sexist, so everyone’s a bad guy. Fire away!
I basically completely agree with this comment here https://lemmy.world/comment/22443131
