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?

      Are you not interested in text-heavy and/or turn-based games in general or are they the exception? I’m curious because I like all those games you listed to various degree, except Outer Worlds, haven’t try it yet.

        Outer worlds was a first person shooter with unsatisfying gunplay and not a strong enough story to get invested.

        I literally got soft locked in disco Elysium. My first ever run I failed so many checks the game actually told me I had to sit around and do nothing for a whole day. Way too slow, felt way too limited in what I was able to do. Talked online about it and people said it’s basically a misery and failure simulator. Not what I had in mind.

        Persona 5 is a big anime quick time event.

        Divinity just isn’t as fun as bg3. Sorry stacking physical or magic damage and cycling stuns endlessly just isn’t that fun.

        People always act like I’m crazy for not liking these games and think I must just hate games that are turn based, are rpg’s, have text and rely on statistics to determine outcomes. Admittedly I do hate rpg’s where I don’t get creative freedom over my character but y’all recommending these boring ass games with no gameplay literally just walking around slowly pressing a button when prompted pokemon type gameplay when you ain’t even ever played XCOM terror from the deep.
