In Red Dead Redemption 2, I had hunted down the Legendary Bear and skinned its pelt and was bringing it back to the trapper. Along the way a woman asked me to bring her back to civilization and I genuinely grappled with the decision to leave that pelt behind since I was so immersed in the game. So when I left her there and brought the pelt to the trapper I ended up feeling like a major piece of shit and it was honestly the best moment I've ever experienced in a video game

FINALLY someone talked about streamers playing rdr2, most of them pretty much just rush through the story while barely exploring the open world and take things slow, i mean just look at ishowpeed's recent playthrough. Especially when the game was first released a lot of youtubers were rushing the game just so they can pump out a review as quick as possible then complain about how slow the game is and how the open world is empty💀

[@stisko5439]

well ishowspeed is a joke anyways, so there's that.

[@JZStudiosonline]

To be real though, there's no reason to interact with RDR's open world. It doesn't get you anything. You can hunt, but there's better hunting games that aren't as arbitrary. There's not much more outside that either, there's "random" events where people ask for a ride somewhere, usually not where you're going, and scripted events which play out the same way for everyone. I enjoy slow games, I really liked Death Stranding, but holy shit RDR2 is tedious.

I think these game reviewers aren't playing the game to experience it, they are playing it to review. This means they are too busy trying to 1. get through it quickly so they can get their review out on time and 2. break down the components of the game into bite sized ratings instead of throwing themselves into the journey that the game has created. Imo that makes video essays waaaaay more reliable and honest because they tend to be a reflection on the experience of the game and they get released post hype (usually). Game reviews and game scores don't have that kind of love and dedication in mind. Brilliant video!

[@PunishedDad]

reviewers, streamers, youtubers etc simply do not play videogames as a general gamer would which in turn makes any reviews/opinions/critiques pretty much moot

[@FadiMARc]

[@oilslick7010]

Another factor that compounds this is the assumption of reviewers to arrive at a single objective truth. In other words they don't factor in their own subjectivity nor that of their readers. I suppose that's because in Journalism school they are essentially trained to become investigative journalists, who indeed are looking for 'the truth' when dealing mostly with hard facts. If the reviewer of Days Gone simply added the layer of subjectivity by mentioning that she personally got really annoyed by the damage/repair/upgrade mechanics but that it's great if you love that kind of stuff, the review would have been infinitely better as a frame of reference for deciding whether you like the game or not.

[@Potentially_Hacker]

1:40 Okay, I actually agree with the principle in IGN's review, but they delivered it very poorly. The water routes in ORAS were dreadfully boring because the designers tried to have a near even amount of land routes/water routes. But unfortunately, the land routes are just far more interesting than surfing through a bland open sea for half the game. IGN understood this, and I think they aren't entirely wrong, but damn, they couldn't have phrased it worse... There is a difference between saying, "Water routes are too repetitive and bland." and saying, "Too much water." which basically summarizes my entire issue with game journalism most of the time, even if it's rooted in a genuine critic, it's so poorly articulated that it just comes across as completely incompetent.

The first 4/5 of the video I was agreeing with you, but TLOU2 stuff. Bruh. I don't have an issue with Abby being buff, but you can't go "it's a video game bro" while talking about a series that grounds itself as much as possible to realism. And in the case of Abby, IT DOES make sense. She's in a place where there's plenty of food, so she CAN focus on working out (which we're never really shown). BUT it is believable. Why else do you think she gets skinnier by the end of the game? Or why many of the characters are skinny. There's also other valid criticisms of the game. Why did the pregnant lady go out? Ellie kills dozens of men and doesn't flinch except if the story asks for it. The "holocaust" line (it's just cringy). Poor pacing. The video was supposed to be about critics (going by the title), but then devolves to talk about gamers, who disliked a game, and saying they're wrong. Which, in the beginning you were complaining about critics who gave Alien Isolation, Pokemon, Or Days Gone dumb critics. So how is that any different than you going "bro it's just a video game, it's not real life" ? Motorcycle breaking down easily from hitting too many enemies? Bro it's a video game, not real life. Alien seeing me because it's smart? Bro it's a video game not real life.

I mean I like the game also but it definitely has issues. Like it being a waypoint simulator like the other guy said. But the shooting is also clunky. If you keep aiming after shooting then you have to again press lmb to cock the gun. The movement doesn't feel snappy and feels way too floaty. I personally prefer rdr1 shooting mechanics but the feel of shooting in rdr2 is much more impactful. No game is perfect.

[@heithyboi]

Why do people who like Tlou2 always dismiss the criticism it gets as just weirdos on the internet hating it. There is very very valid criticisms of the game especially it's writing which is great at points then hits a brick wall in others. Neil's goal was to make people feel for Abby but when the fight with Ellie happens 9 out of 10 people will let Ellie kill Abby. I also did it without even realizing that it's something most people do

[@RealGerald7]

I agree, it also doesn’t make sense from a lore perspective for Abby to be built like she is without the use of steroids, which she most likely wouldn’t have access to for obvious reasons (it’s 20 something years into a zombie apocalypse). Also the pacing was wonky with how it made you play as Abby, if the game kept flip flopping between perspectives then it would have had a more cohesive flow, but letting the player experience most of Ellie’s story before Abby’s makes it incredibly difficult to put yourself in Abby’s shoes.

[@ZackMitchell-pv7xp]

There are several reasons why i dislike abby from tlou2, but being a woman isn't one of them. I personally do not like this game, and it is because it disrespects the first game in almost every way possible, from spitting on joels grave and killing him a really stupid way. Joel survived 20 years of the outbreak, and he suddenly goes into a room filled with armed strangers and tells them everything about him, then gets beaten to death in a very brutal way. How am I homophobic for rooting for the Gay character which is ellie.

Nah, there is such a thing as RDR2 having too much "immersion" to the point that the gameplay suffers from it. If I'm choosing to stop hunting or actively park my horse on top of beasts just to skin them faster because I'm on the 80th hour of gameplay and have seen the animations hundreds of times, it's definitely a valid issue. At the end of the day, RDR2 can solve these issues by adding a skip option to the skinning animations or to the pre mission horse riding, but didn't. That's a valid criticism.

[@Gus1776]

Fun fact I agree with you for the first part until TLoU2 (I’m sorry I just wanted to play the game as Joel) and Starfield (loading screens, endless boring and uninspired dialogue and creepy NPCs killed it for me) I absolutely tried and like forced myself to like and love these games but the more I tried the more I failed. I preordered the super expensive collectors Starfield edition. I glad you liked them but this is how games are. Not all games can be for everyone. And hey I didn’t like Baldurs Gate 3 as well 😆 Loved Destiny 1 and couldn’t get into 2. Buddy told me how much he loved it I bought it and still disliked it. I just hope games like RDR2 will still be made although the COD and GTA Kids love to dopamine rush everything.

5:08 I think a review should be all about personal opinions/issues about the game. The reviewer should be vocal about what they didn't like and why. If they didn't like the game, they should give it a bad score. They shouldn't give 8/10's to every game just because some people might like it. If you often find yourself disagreeing with IGN or Gamespot. Find other reviewers who share opinions similar to you.

[@comrademossball5388]

you certainly made a lot of generalized statements about people who dislike Lou2. After saying not everyone will agree on games due to their nature. The reason I personally don’t like it, is 1, I have no interest in playing the character that killed a much loved character from the previous game. 2 the ending, if someone killed my father ( father figure in Ellie’s case) there is absolutely no way I let them go. I dont think it’s a bad game, I just don’t relate to the story at all and don’t like playing as the person who kills our Mc from the first game.

[@ilzuab8467]

Honestly, as much as i like to shit on reviewers, they did give me a perspective on a lot of things. Some time back, i went back to some games i remembered really liking but all their reviews being trash. And honestly.. it wasn't a fun experience. Most of these games actually weren't as good as i remembered and it properly ruined my memory of them. I loved NSMB2 when it came out. Replaying it a few months ago made me realize that it's actually a fucking boring and easy game with very few new ideas and doesn't get above "meh" for me nowadays. We often forget that reviewers are encouraged to not let their personal experience during their playthrough influence their review too much. And let's just say, if we all going back to games we love, separated and isolated from the experience we had when discovering it, a lot of games we love aren't actually as good as we remember. The best example was Fortnite: OG. A lot of people went back to that and hated it, because not only were they expecting something else from the game at that point, but they themselves were not the same person they were when they first played the game. Also, to the progression point: I agree that games need progression. But the best games are those that feel great from the start and only get better. Something like Ghost Of Tsushima or Sekiro, who give you all important mechanics from the start and just give you more fun bonuses afterwards. In RDR2 for example (a game i love), the horse riding at the start felt like shit. Yeah, the progression felt good, but why do i gotta be frustrated for 10 hours before feeling that in a game not built for that kind of experience? Why can't the horse follow me from the start, but over time and affection, it gets faster, stronger, and gives us a special ability like time slowdown? It's a valid point that i feel too many people glorify.

I not only beat the main story, I 100% it and got every achievement (something I never do). I even grinded out the Challenges mode because I liked it so much. It's too bad people wrote the game off.

You do bring up a fair point with TLOU2, but I still think that the story was pretty bad as Ellie had little reason to spare Abby at that point. It would've made for a much better ending if Ellie killed Abby and the cycle of violence continued.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Why? So she could continue to be miserable and spend her following years being empty and aimless (much like how Abby was, until she found some solace in helping Lev and Yara). I think that everything that happens in Santa Barbara happens in the right way and that is precisely what gives Ellie a complete arc. She manages to break out of her obsession and salvages some hope of finding a better path forward. She is also able to SPIRITUALLY lay Joel to rest at the very end (after physically laying him to rest soon after his death), finding some strange form of closure in that. Ellie doesn't really spare Abby because she got to peep Abby's backstory or anything lol. In fact, a LOT of the game is intentionally about people being ignorant of other people's stories and making no effort to understand them cuz they are too consumed with anger and hatred. Ellie's agency, and lack thereof, is a BIG part of her story in BOTH games. Revenge isn't really why she goes after Abby in the end, it is guilt, trauma, and wanting to reclaim some of the agency that pretty much everyone has denied her throughout her life. She either never gets to make a choice, and when she does.... someone else comes along and takes the chance of acting upon it away from her. As she is choking Abby out (now, this is my interpretation. This moment is quite ambigious), she realizes that she simply doesn't feel better. Abby is a mere few seconds away from giving up the ghost and Ellie does not feel better. She is literally bawling her eyes out. So she lets go. She CHOOSES to not go through with this. She realizes that this is NOT what Joel would want for her. So she stops, and leaves. Now, one can say that "why didn't Ellie realize this sooner?". Good point. To that I would say that people rarely realize what's good for them at an ideal time, or quickly. It is often at a rock bottom moment that someone can see things clearly. Ellie had been too wracked with anger, guilt etc to see that what she's doing simply wouldn't help her. She herself wasted 2yrs that she could've had with Joel and she will never get that back... and doing this won't bring that back. Just my thoughts, sorry for writing so much.
