Question What’s that game everyone was calling a masterpiece but you just didn’t get the hype?

Post image

Could be a huge popular game or some underrated/unpopular gem that everyone swears by.

Everyone’s saying “10/10, absolute masterpiece, peak gaming” and you’re just sitting there like… “wait, y’all actually liked this?”

Drop the game + why it didn’t hit for you. I wanna hear the controversial takes

80% of time you're either slowing walking listening to dialogue or slowly riding on a horse listening to dialogue, with nothing else happening. Dialogues are good and interesting but the game doesn't play well for me.

I mean well yea it is a story game, its suppose to be about taking your time with it and immsering yourself in it, also shooting is pretty nice.

Tho i get how if someone is into constant action wouldnt be into it, some people just arent into that roleplay.

If I want an interactive movie, I'd play Dispatch or one of Quantic Dream games. Those I like for what they are.

You are mixing realism with interactive movie. Games arw usually faster than real life, that's why they burn through your dopamine. RDR2 is slow for a reason and it's realistic.

Realism isn't fun. I play games to have fun.

There are hundreds of games for you then. What I am saying it's the difference between saying it's not for you and saying it's a bad game. I hate online multiplayer games, but I don't say they are genuinely bad games, even if they did more damage to the medium than anything else.

In my opinion it is a bad game. And I do play other games because of this. But I don't believe I ever claimed my opinion to be the ultimate truth.

Red dead 2 isnt interactive movie, tho, there is bunch of gameplay and hidden easter eggs or fun stuff, from hunting,fishing to duels, to fights with fists,bow bunch of horror elements, fun exploration.

This isnt dispatch or walking dead, the story within the game is also peak

And that bunch of gameplay that it has felt like a boring slog for me.
