Whatever it is, it's not Red Dead Redemption, that game is unbelievably overrated, it's a 5/10 at best. Unfortunately the fanbase are zelda tier retards and think their niche shit title is the goat of goats for some reason.

You fags need to kill yourself.

The best game of the gen for me would be Men of War, or MoW Assault Squad. Although Dead Space 1 was also really good, as well as Hard Reset. I don't know if FEAR counts as last gen or not since it was only a port, but if it does then FEAR. I guess Stalker is a good choice as well.

I also really liked God of War 3 but that is just personal bias because that is my niche enjoyment.

I could maybe agree on bullet sponge enemies but that is only if you are playing on max difficulty when the game is balanced for normal, also you are meant to use the environment to get most kills.

But >boring environments

Literally just fucking kill yourself. That game is fucking gorgeous and atmospheric as fuck.

Hard Reset is a 10/10 video game. Prove me wrong.

>>344456148

>boring empty world with nothing but padding and filler fetch quests and collectathon garbage
>story is still segmented rockstar shit that follows their typical formula of do X amount of missions for Y then move on even if the story between Protagonist and Y hasn't been finished yet
>gameplay is bare bones as fuck and horses control like shit compared to GTA's cars making the open world travelling aspect significantly worse than in GTA

But muh ending though right. Best thing about the game was that they time skipped ahead after John died and let you play as Jack, that was honestly really cool and made me think maybe the game wasn't an entire waste of time. Yet then everyone starts complaining about Jack and wanting to play as John because muh work ya damn nag line. You faggots are pathetic.

Also before you bitch about my comment with the horses, Shadow of the Colossus did horse mechanics right, RDR just felt stiff and lifeless as fuck, in SotC the horse was a separate AI and it felt completely organic and the horse did it's own thing as you rode it, you could just suggest things to it, but if it was scared, sometimes it would ignore you.

If you've ever played GTA, you have basically played RDR.

Just imagine your standard GTA map, now imagine someone modded it to remove all the buildings, leaving the map just flat and rather empty, now imagine someone also modded the car controls so the turning is stiff and shit as fuck.

There, that is RDR. Oh also don't forget console auto aim. ( inb4 "b-but you can turn it off" you can but the manual aim is sluggish as fuck and feels unresponsive, it's like choosing between piss and shit with the aiming options in RDR).

>>344458110

And?
>>
RDR is too repetitive and gets boring by Mexico. Everyone said Mexico was boring, but it is probably the best area. It's the game that's getting boring at that point because it fails to introduce many new things after the first few hours.
Outside from some of the very early ranch missions, I can't think of too many that aren't a long ride to a mission marker and then shooting dudes in the head.

>>
>>344458173

This is why nobody likes RDR fans. You people sperg out and insult people if they even dare to criticism your game.

IIRC only fucking once in the last 6 years has an RDR fan actually engaged in a legit debate, arguing the mechanics, admitting to flaws, trying to convince me of more positive aspects and generally being a normal tactful person. Fucking once.

The rest of you insufferable shits immediately resort to either the "Mad PCfags" argument or the "wow you are le autistic" think you are doing right now.

Worst fucking fanbase on /v/ by far.

>your complaints are just forcing a negative like a sperg

You people literally sound cult like sometimes.

Yeah, don't get me wrong I liked it; 7/10. But it just didn't feel like the old west, it was empty. Which was a shame, since it was so close.

I can guarantee everyone who says Red Dead isn't a good game just did the story and nothing else. Completely ignored all the challenges and hunting, along with the legend of the west stuff

So even though the PC version came out a year after the 360 version, you don't consider gears a 360 exclusive. Yet The last of us gets a remaster 1.5 years later, and it's still a PS3 exclusive?

I didn't realize it came out a year after, so I'm wrong. Still, a generational leap feels like more a milestone than a year at the start of a gen even if they span a similar amount of time.

Prove me wrong, faggot. All you could do was ride between different towns and hogtie women. You couldn't:

>rob a bank
>rob a train

And that's just the surface
>Boring as fuck side quests (something that could have been remedied by letting you join a gang of banditos)
>Fucking nothing between the settlements (they should have sacrificed map size here)
>Boring environments
>Boring ambient music

Thinking about there's only two bits of that game the stick out in my mind, the part where you first enter Mexico and and those "I know you?" side quests (even though he's clearly the angle of death). The game was good, it wasn't great.

>>344459460
Right, but when you put all that nothing into a game, the game becomes boring. A bit like if you have some sci-fi game and you limit all the ships in it to some fraction of the speed of light.

It's a bland TPS at best. All the enemies are the same. All the guns are virtually the same. There is hardly any distinction between the different types of weapons and their different "tiers". Everything dies in 1-2 shots no matter what you do. Not to mention if you use Dead Eye or Auto-Aim, both of which are enabled by default, the game is just a piss fest of casualness.

Then there's the missions. Every stranger mission is literally, "go here and collect your reward". No involvement whatsoever. Every story mission, every side mission, is either "go kill these guys" or "listen to me whine". Which wouldn't be so bad if the gunplay wasn't complete shit. The side quests, which follow the same formula, are few and far between as well. Then there's the "minigames". Godawful clones of flash games you could find on the internet in 1995.

The whole thing is a fucking joke. Frankly it's astonishing that anyone could find it decent on any level.

>but huurrr muh atmosphere

The atmosphere would have been great if not for all the fucking glitches. I sure was reminded of the days of old when I mounted my 3 legged horse for the umpteenth time.

Maybe singleplayer, but Online had too many issues to make it GotGen. Mainly, being too grindy for cash with a microtransaction alternative.

Idk what qualifies as the best, per se, but perhaps some of the most influential games of that generation were CoD 4, Halo 3, Uncharted, Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Assassins Creed.

>>344460714

>inb4 some butthurt RDR fan goes "Wow, so this is all you could come up with to shit on the game, just nitpicking, haha you are autistic kiddo"

RDR fans are insufferable little shits, they either outright shitpost and insult anyone criticizing their game, or they call all criticism, even ones of massive gamebreaking glaring flaws "little nitpicks".

And if you even dare to criticism the shit aspects of the story like the garbage pacing and how the game just suddenly forgot about Bonnie for whole middle act and she barely appeared in the final as well, after setting up a whole thing in the beginning that never got paid off, they just sperg out at you.
