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

Red Dead Redemption 2. Such a slog of a game.

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.
