Red Dead Redemption 2 Has Reminded Me To Appreciate Taking My Time With Video Games

For me, the tedious legwork, lengthy narrative chock full of mission variety and sprawling map ordinarily traversed via horseback presents a faithful reminder that sprinting my way through the average new game experience only clouds my memories with a mentality determined to finish a game only to move on to the next one; rather than truly immerse myself in an unforgettable, lasting experience.

you can take it that way (I took it that way,.. but in reality I was forced into it)

roadkillers1971d ago

I'm peggy-backing off your comment, tho I'm not sure what you mean by forced... You were forced to take your time? I'd agree with that.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an exceptional game and I might have enjoyed it more if I were still in High School. Redemption 2 is a difficult game to play because of the terrain. In the first Red Dead, the terrain was not as rigged and I never found myself going towards the goal only to find out there is a cliff below me. In this game there is and the games a lot easier to follow the trail that is created.

This game is extremely frustrating to play when so many games have made it easy. Even GTA5 made it easy, this game is tough. People said it's suppose to be, The Wild was tough. Sure I understand that. I do not want to come home and do chores when I do not have to.

This game is amazing what they have done with the NPC's, movement, communicating, and other technical achievements. This game is not for me. I am excited to see how they introduce this in a more accessible game like Bully 2 or GTA6.

Newmanator1971d ago

Very logical, well thought out comment. I have to agree with what you're saying about it being a masterpiece that isn't my cup of tea.

smolinsk1972d ago

Great artikel, has absolutely right.

AK911972d ago

Yeah it’s not Fortnite which is a breath of fresh air to me.

FPS_D3TH1971d ago

I usually play my games like this so that’s likely why I enjoyed this game so much but it’s true, so many people rush through games. With today’s graphics I find them to be stunning and enjoy finding the finer details.

william_cade1971d ago

I just started my 3rd play-through and still finding stuff. It's one of the few games that I want to 100%.

shinoff21832d ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg2d ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK2d ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos2d ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider16242d ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog2d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN2d ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave2d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator2d ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom21d 20h ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville2d ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj2d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde2d ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada2d ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion2d ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts2d ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai2d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion2d ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff21832d ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL29302d ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion2d ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville2d ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

JL29301d 17h ago Show
seanpitt232d ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein30d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers29d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long29d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius29d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum062d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius29d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
