Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Batman]

I agree and disagree

Spiderman was brilliant and I have completed it 100% twice now, it is fun and sometimes just aimlessly swinging around can be nice and relaxing, good fast paced brainless fun.

RDR2 is still the best game that I have ever played, I managed to get completely immersed in it, I loved riding my hoss around for ages trying to find a god damn rabbit, and just seeing what trouble I could get into, hell, I even had fun growing a fucking beard and getting a hair cut, will I play it again? probably not but that first play through was a real experience for me and I loved every second of it.

I guess I just like some slow paced games as I still class Heavy Rain as one of my all time favourite games.

I'm not a big gamer at all and as I mentioned previously I'm currently playing Sekiro, I've enjoyed it but the grind is too much for me, I got onto the final boss last night and kind of just though 'meh, I've made it now, I could kill this dude but I'm already pretty much at the end' I don't know if I will actually bother finishing that one final boss.

If you got that far you might as well get it done. It would be like reading a book and then deciding to skip the final 5 pages. Might as well finish what you started. If the game sucks from the off I can understand dumping it, but not if you get close to the end.

Could'nt get into heavy rain at all.

Nor LA Noire I think it was called. Gave up as was bored.

I don't play many non fifa games these days. This past year been a deviation from the norm for me as spiderman then rdr2 took up several months.

Always been a Spiderman fan and love new York so for me that was perfection.

LA Noire was a bit boring. I loved the setting, but the story itself lacked any soul for me.

Screw it. I am driving home today so will stop by the department store and see what they have.

It seems Days Gone is the victim of social justice reviewers. Basically one woman doesn't like the character and how the zombies are white so gave it 5. When called out she quit Twatter.

Well I damn well bought it, but haven't played yet. Will give an update over the weekend. Most players seem quite happy and say just as good as RDR2. Social Justice can fuck off in video games. Thank you.

Me too. It was like everything in that game comes to life, once you slow it down. Beautiful game. Definitely meant to be savoured!

Had to break this out again when we got flooded in the other day. One you definitely cannot just pick up after forgetting all the controls . 2 minutes in I was gunned down in town after trying to 'praise' a guys dog but punching him instead. Things escalate way to quickly lol. Still can't get over how farking huge the map is. Found a massive 'snake' sculpture carved into a field and the sky went dark when stepping onto a rock mound fashioned as a head. Weird timing.
