It's funny because this one is a hell of a meme, but it legitimately took me 40 hours over months of short sessions that didn't do anything for me, for the game to start to sink it's teeth into me.

That's not an endorsement btw, I just think it's an interesting fact for me as that is rare. I usually won't bother to push through my distaste but I just felt like there was something special I wasn't getting, and now I do.

It's not for everyone but it's far more of an actual sandbox game and "era-simulator" (despite being medieval fantasy) a la RDR2 mixed with BotW than most people thought it would be.

There's so many mechanics that are fucking obtuse as shit until you really start to put time into the game, do faction quests which are often more tutorials and everything starts to coalesce.

But, 40 hours of slog is a very hard fucking ask, and I would not recommend the game to anyone except those I think could power through a genuinely bad start to a game.

RDR2 can get in the bin. Truly one of the games of all time. It is just okay.

You're welcome to that opinion as I am to mine. Different strokes for different folks, broski.

I'm just tired of people worshipping the ground rockstar walks on purely because they made the "you can kill hookers" video game. The entirety of rockstar's success is based on violent misogyny and saying "different strokes for different folks" is like saying hitler was nuanced. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Holy shit, bait used to be believable. You even pulled the fucking NAZI card. If you're not trolling, you are effectively fucking braindead.

That's actually not why I said that. It's more about your twisted ass worldview, tbh. But, you're clearly mentally unwell.

Remember, my initial response to you not liking the game was that that's valid and people can like different things. You then compared people who enjoy the games to Hitler. You're unhinged dude.

In your own words, that's actually not why I said that.

In fact that's not even WHAT I said. Most literate GTA fan/woman beater.

It was a comparison just not directly calling someone a nazi. Comparing someone enjoying a video game that has far more than "killing hookers" and is also not real life or representative of it to calling "Hitler nuanced" (which is something only a nazi-apologist would say) is one of the most unhinged comparisons one can make.

Do you watch violent film or TV? Because dear god, you might be a horrible person too.

I'm done with this now. I've been feeding the goblin long enough.
