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?
Heavy Rain was one of those for me. I sometimes enjoy a cinematic game. Even if there aren’t any ‘choices that matter’ in it, it can be nice to just go through a cinematic interactive story game. But Heavy Rain fell into the same hole so many others do: bad interaction UI. I hate any game that gives you the option to say ‘I agree,’ ‘I disagree,’ and ‘What?’ but makes selecting ‘What?’ the option to fly off the handle because ‘What?’ is actually short for ‘What should I insert into your nostril, you filthy worm?’
