[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] This doesn't even make sense as a shitpost.[/quote] Good thing it wasn't, then. But here, let's break this down, shall we? [quote]1. I don't know what voice in your head told you that was my metric because it sure as hell wasn't mine.[/quote] It's not a voice in my head, it's your own voice. I know it's hard to follow posts but the train of conversation went as follows: -Red Dead 2 is great. -Great at being nothing mind-blowing yeah. -If your metric for quality products is 'mind-blowing' it's a wonder you play anything. I put forth the claim that Red Dead Redemption 2 is both great and, later, a quality product, both of which I believe to be true. Your response to the initial claim of RDR2 being great was derisive in tone and came with the implication that it's 'nothing mind-blowing' which is damning with faint praise at best and outright criticism at worst. You might have a stronger leg here if your [i]initial[/i] entry into the topic of RDR2's subjective quality didn't also include the phrase 'nothing mind-blowing'. You can see how your repeated use of that specific turn as well as your established apathy towards the game and its hype cycle might lead one to the assumption that your metric for quality is 'mind-blowing'. [quote]2. How would I know it was nothing special if I didn't play it?[/quote] I didn't imply you didn't play it or even infer you didn't. But if you want me to seriously answer the question then there are a variety of ways, namely watching many of the various streams, reactions, footage, and general tip and hint videos about the game that have been all over the place since Friday. I honestly think you [i]have[/i] played it. I don't know why you would purchase something you were clearly down on or at the very least mildly disinterested but maybe you rented it or whatever, it's your money and time and it's yours to do with as you wish. I fundamentally disagree with you with the game being just 'alright' and I'd be happy to elaborate onto why I think the game is downright fascinating as far as AAA games go.
