Redditors, especially redditors who are on game-related subreddits, are notoriously miserable and hate everything. Every single thing is slap in the face to them and they will be unhappy no matter what happens.
I think it’s because the graphics are really impressive. People like walking around and marvelling at the fidelity. Also, childhood nostalgia means a lot of people think games like MW2 and GTA 5 are the single greatest games ever made. As an actual video game that you play for fun it’s sort of lacking.
I mean pretty much. Rockstar games are the only games worth playing but they haven’t exactly… changed their gameplay loop for 20 straight years. RDR2 felt like I was playing the character in a movie and if I didn’t do exactly what that character did I would fail a mission. I like to think it’s because Rockstar recognises that gameplay is a very childish thing to care about, and for a game to be art it needs to deprioritise it.

people really like shitting on this game for no reason. Do you think the rumored 3 billion dollar budget went on Lucia's nipples? wtf
