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?

    I’m stubborn so I’m still trying to enjoy it, but granblue fantasy relink just kills me… I enjoyed most of the game, but the endgame has pretty much everything I hate in action combat games: isntakill dps check bullshit, enemies spamming crazy nonsense moves cluttering the screen, and dodge timing that requires you to be a literal machine to get it right making elden ring look like a game for babies, and an ungodly amount of grinding the most aggravating bosses for materials…

    I’m at an age now where I want to enjoy a game, not be enraged until I finally beat it.

      Actually just got here with my friend. I felt the same way, I really wanted there to be a world where there was more than a “get improved dodge+ nimble onslaught, get auto revival and guts” for builds. Same thing with the majority of damage stats, there are only a couple that are actually good (big and multiplicative, pretty much just tyranny and stamina) so builds become very restrictive and based on specific sigil drops WAY too fast.

      I feel your pain. You kind of HAVE to do perfect dodges to survive later fights consistently. I will say, if you get max Improved Dodge sigil it makes dodges practically twice as easy.

      I will say though, endgame is so goddamn grindy. They’ve almost lost me as well, my interest has only survived because I’m able to AFK farm in the background while doing things on a second monitor.

        Thats pretty much where I’m at as well lol I just have a full defense and survival build for afk farming the fire dragon and for the light/dark dragon I can’t afk, but I have the absurd invincible Lancelot build where you just spam triangle/Y to be invincible forever and let the AI do the heavy lifting lol
