Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if the rest of the world like those games. Good for you!
Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Not a bad game per se, but I don’t get the hype behind it. Sure the dungeons are fun but the world is so lifeless, the story non existent, the combat pretty shallow, the tower climbing is very much like FarCry but for some reasons it’s okay here while Ubisoft gets the blame…like I said I dont get why the game is so beloved. Never finished it after the 20 hour mark and probably never will.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - Just like Zelda not a bad game, but imho highy overrated. Graphics and and atmosphere are amazing but the controls are clunky and overloaded, nearly everybody is an unlikable douchebag who I would love to shoot myself at the first opportunity (maybe except Jack and Abigail), the game is just so long and feels very stretched, you already know that you won’t get Dutch because it’s a prequel and for an open world game you often get handholded in your weapon selection or things you can do because you have to wait for them to be unlocked by the game.
So there they are, two highly controversial oppinions by me and now I’m really curios what your takes are and how highly I get downvoted into oblivion 😂
God I hate the “Interactive Movie” genre. Uncharted, Last of Us, God of War. Pretty much most of Sony’s exclusives. They’re all the same boring 3rd person mechanics, and uncultured “gamers” will go off about how “amazing” the story is because they haven’t read a book since high school and only watch blockbusters. If you’re not going to do anything interesting with the game mechanics or add any actual interactivity to the story then whats the fucking point of making it a game? They just seem like a refuge for hack screenwriters that couldn’t make it in film and lazy game devs who are out of ideas.
