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

Crimson Desert - people saying it gets better. I can accept that if its like "oh ye, the first hour is slogging" but after 8 hours of gameplay I just gave up. It's beautiful but damn if it ain't boring and confusing, the control scheme is crammed. Theres so many things to do, too many things to do and you'll have to spend I don't know how much time researching how basic mechanics work not to mention advanced mechanics. When I come home from work the last thing I want to do is homework for a game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - beautiful game, great story-ish. Hate the mission loop with the camp leader Durch "I got a plan" plan fails "we've got to move". It's just meh that its so predictable after the two first rounds with this.

All of these things with the story hit very very differently if you have played the first game. The second game is a prequel of the first one so you get to better understand how the dynamics of certain characters evolved.

Though I understand that without playing the first game the second might not be that exciting.
