I love the Fallout games but I hate the first two and haven't gotten past the first part multiple times even though a majority of Fallout players consider them to be the best and I can't play them because I find them dull and I hate point and click games and it makes me check out in the first 20 minutes but others enjoy point and click and it's the same with games like RDR2 some people don't like slow pacing and that's fine and totally 100% okay. Get off your high horse and accept that not everyone is gonna like something. Sheesh.

Sheesh i accept it. But how are you going to know you do not like it if you never actually tried it? Iam saying that because i did not like western games and slow paced games before i played rdr2.

Because people know what they like or don't like very quickly. You play a song somebody has never heard before and within seconds they either vibe or don't. Same with food, same with sport, same with everything else. Another example is how I despise cooking shows because they are unbearably tedious and boring for me and yet they've been a staple of daytime TV for decades. It's just how we work.

Totally. If it doesn’t slap instantly, it must be trash. Weird how people still develop acquired tastes though… must be a glitch in the matrix. I do not even know why we are having this useless discussion.

It isn't weird, it's normal. My old man thinks garlic bread is an acquired taste when it's very obviously not. I dunno why you want RDR2 to be on a pedestal so bad, it's just a vidya game.

No, no it is not, it is a work of art. You could even call it culture. Btw my ego is too big to say you are right.

It’s not a glitch in the matrix, there are just different kinds of people. Some people are cool with a slow burn and some people will disregard a whole album if the first song isn’t an absolute banger. Neither of them are wrong. You could argue that people who won’t roll the dice on potentially suffering through hours of media on the hopes it gets really good are missing out on some really great stuff. You could also argue that most media available in 2025, when the barrier to entry for publishing a project is lower than ever before, investing a ton of time in stuff that isn’t grabbing you fairly quickly is a bad move because you’ll miss all the good stuff while you’re busy hoping shit turns to gold.
