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?
Megaton Rainfall. The game billed itself as having you fly around like a demigod stopping an alien invasion. I bought it like 2 years after release, hyped as all hell. The unskippable intro is boooooooooooring and takes way too long. Time to blast some aliens! Only they end up as some sort of fucking puzzle, where each one has to be beaten the correct way. To make matters worse, you have to avoid destruction at all costs, if too much civilian infrastructure gets blown up, you fail the mission. Of all the (limited) powers you unlock, exactly one can protect civilians, and it fucking sucks.
The trailer looks so technically impressive. That is a LOT of destructive environment. Sad if it’s not so good though.
Exactly, the trailer does a hell of a job of selling the game. It completely hides how you’re supposed to avoid destruction. How the hell the devs didn’t think of adding a free “fucking around” mode, or villain mode (which is the top mod for the game) is truly baffling
