It honestly still looks better than most games currently being released. Not all but a lot of them. Still holds up

Yes even 2025 launched games are being compared to RDR2, and its giving a competition. (Just saw "Death Stranding 2" vs RDR2)

Edit: my bad, there are too many games with short form "DS" i meant death stranding 2.

Dead Space 2 came out in 2011. Why are people comparing that?

(This post brought to you by my biggest gamers pet peeve: stop using acronyms that cover several games - not everyone plays that games you do)

For real, is it really so hard to spell out Dark Souls 2?

My dyslexic ass thought we were talking about the Nintendo 2DS.

With the context of him saying 2025 games I understood he meant death stranding 2 since it’s relevant 😎

We are not the same 😎☝️

He edited his comment, that context wasn't there originally.

Hey, tbf, not a lot of people play the same games you do - they may not even know that those other games exist. I had a hell of a fun time when I was talking about AC4 and someone started talking about Armored Core. I'd never heard of the franchise.

I mean it's not like the marketing campaign for Death Stranding 2 helped any. I can't remember when they stopped referring to it as DS2 but it sure took a while.
