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?

    Sable. At first it was amazing… the music, the world and the characters were all so well done. It was such an immersive experience. I’d probably still be playing it right now even after completing it (also the only game I would have bothered to get all the cheevos); however, nearer to the end of the game there’s a huge glaring bug the devs never bothered to fix: the best hover bike in the game bugs out whenever you drive over a sand dune and there are sand dunes everywhere in the game. That’s like the main feature of the world; it’s a desert planet. Every time you ride over a sand dune at top speed you’d spin every which way, your character would disappear, you’d stop moving and end up upside down halfway outside the map. One of the main selling points of the game was riding your hover bike around the world exploring places and just chilling out to the excellent music… well, this bug ruins the first two so all that’s left is the music.

    It’s too bad… I really loved the game up to that point, which just so happened to be near the end where I couldn’t refund it… I don’t like badmouthing devs because there’s a LOT of work that goes into making a game that I don’t understand; however, no matter the reason, that’s a shitty thing to do. Such a massive bug that ruins the game should be fixed… but they were incapable of doing so and likely never will. My final words on this topic are: Incompetent assholes.

      Fun fact: Sable is French for sand. I feels that adds an amusing layer of… grittiness to your commentary. But also irony that they never fixed it

      I’ve played it for hours trying to be a completionist, and loved it. Never experienced what you are experiencing. The bike isn’t as smooth as it could be, but it’s not that bad.

      It’s one of those games that never leaves my drive and I revisit occasionally just to hang about and climb stuff.

        Funky. If they did fix it it took them at least two and a half years to do it.
