This generation there hasn't been a single game that was close to perfection for me. It's really disappointing .. not so much because of the lack of quality of these hyped up games, but because I'm always conflicted on how I feel about them. I agree with you that the mission design is outdated, but, the controls and mechanics in the game actually got less annoying for me as it went on. And do my complaints of the game stop it from being a masterpiece? I honestly don't know. I felt the same way about BOTW, Horizon, Odyssey (although that one is more definitely just "I think this is overrated"). Seems like every new "masterpiece" is just so imperfect and it makes me second guess my opinions all the time, which I already do, it drives me insane. |
One man's trash is another man's treasure, no need to be disappointed if you've enjoyed a game, you really don't have to overthink things, there is no such thing as a perfect game.

It doesn't matter, and they are different games, mostly from a technical point of view; we shouldn't even compare them.

And few days after its release date some people here said that it won't sell more than 20 million.
40-50 million should be a lock now.

I think it sold well digitally as well, but when I bought mine on launch day, the stores were packed with stock. It was the same with GTA V, which I also bought on launch day, Rockstar are good at not under-shipping their games. I guess my point is that we can't expect those to all have sold (which I know everyone in here knows anyway). At least 12-13 million first week with digital? It launched on a friday, so that would be an insane figure.

I think it's less about the game's quality and more about an internal kickback because you don't think it's AS good as people say. Does BOTW and God of War and Horizon have problems? Sure they do, but those problems are quite minute compared to the vast amount of things they do well or outstanding.
And the funny thing is, I don't even like Horizon Zero Dawn, I'm not interested in Spider-Man, and so far Red Dead Redemption hasn't grabbed my attention (it's been in my PS4 for a week and I haven't played it in five days), but that doesn't mean these games are bad, they're just not for me. Red Dead Redemption is clearly meant to be more of an immersive simulator with a great story than a 'gamey' game, and that's fine. For what it's trying to do it succeeded nearly perfectly but some people (myself included) didn't find its clunky control and movement engaging enough; it erred on the side of realism when some of us wanted a gamey game.
And that's fine.

In too deep? You don't even own a Pro or an X1X haha. Siege mentality? You're in EVERY thread damage controlling PlayStation or shitting on Xbox... It's pathetic. I consider myself an average consumer and I bought the X1X with RDR2 last week instead of just getting it for my Pro because of the drastic differences presented in the digital foundry comparison. That alone tells me you have no idea what you're taking about. Why not go play the game rather than arguing about consoles you don't even own? |
As i said you're in this way to deep to the point where you are imagining things. Not only do i own a digital copy of rdr2 on psn but i also own a pro. I think you need to calm down, take a deep breath and stop imagining things. What are you going to assume next?
MichaelDeSanta said:
Who said it did? I own both consoles so deciding which version of the game was superior was important to me. Kerotan, on the other hand, owns neither and only came to this thread to damage control PlayStation and down play Xbox. Besides, what does any of this have to do with you? |
I own a pro and rdr2 so your point is dead in the water.
I know you just dropped a ton of money buying an X just for rdr2 and naturally you will want to defend that purchase but my advice is you stop arguing here and spend that time enjoying your purchase. Because frankly you're not making much sense accusing me of not owning things I do.

I agree with you. They are too different to really compare. I was just saying this for the people that are trying to compare them.

Prove it. And include a picture of your game progress while you're at it.
And what would I have to defend? I own and enjoy every console.
If I didn't like the X1X I would return it, not defend it.
That's the difference between gamers and fanboys.
I spend my free time enjoying the best gaming has to offer.
You spend 8 hours a day on VGChartz endlessly defending PlayStation...

I'm not going out of my way to prove something to you so why don't we make a bet. 12 months avatar control for whoever is right. If i own a pro and rdr2 I win if i don't you do. You've already told be i don't so surely an easy win for you.
Plus you could do with an avatar anyway :)
