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?
Nooo, don’t tell that, hahaha. This is one those games that I really want to play! I loved Ico and Shadow of The Colossus. I’m going to see if I can emulate PS3 now.
Counterpoint to this other guy:
It IS a slow game to get into. And your companion can be stubborn sometimes.
BUT, by the end of the game I really enjoyed it. And it hits some emotional points.
To me it felt like another game from this team. They all have kinda weird control schemes you have to get into your brain, but the games are rewarding if you stick with them.
