I was the biggest Red Dead Redemption 1 fanboy but GOW truly deserves it this time. It's the perfect combination of gameplay, animation and story. Everything was so tight, the pacing is tight, the exploration is tight and the control is tight as fuck. You always feel like you're in control during gameplay, never once the game force you to do something against your will. I am talking about you, MICAH.
RDR2 is technically impressive, but it feels very loose and clumsy, the mission design is just plain terrible and on-rail, sniping missions in which you can't even move your position or un-scope your fucking rifle, your entire controller becomes just one analog stick and one trigger. What is this? 2008?
Let's not talk about the terrible combat, playing with free aim literally made me question my ability to aim with a controller to a point that I have to start up Battlefield 4 and fucking head shot everyone with my .44 Magnum to feel normal again.
