I think my intentions in this thread are being misunderstood, I take Cras's point that it may look like I'm trying to piss on chips or generally just troll about, but I'm geniunely not. (And on his point, I'd be more than happy to do discuss WoW or Hearthstone in their threads, with critical comments or otherwise.)
I'm not just posting links to any random video I can find that's critical of the game, in every case these are videos I've watched in full, from content creators I respect, which I felt made good points in a watchable fashion, and thought that other folks may enjoy watching them. (And the number of videos I've watched that I haven't mentioned or posted links to here, far outweighs those that I have.)
And as best I can recall, none of the videos are saying that the game is bad, quite the opposite in fact, but each of them are making points around the fact that whilst Rockstar may be extending the visual fidelity and world creation to new heights, the mechanics of many aspects of their games simply aren't good enough these days. (I mean, we all watched Satsuma's video of his gunfight, right?)
One of the main bones of contention seems to be 'I haven't even played the game' but I've played damn near every other Rockstar game and it's abundantly clear from the hours of videos I've watched about RDR2, the reviews I've read, the conversations I've had with my friends about it, and the many comments in this thread - that this game truly is Rockstar 101 with more shinies, so I know its gameplay beats perfectly well.
I don't what else to say really? I like analysing things and going into great detail, (if a film catches my attention, I'll watch analysis videos well in excess of the running length of the actual film), and if me posting links to what I think are interesting and entertaining videos annoys you then I'm sorry, because it's absolutely not my intention. (And it's not like I'm averse to taking the time to write my own very detailed posts about games, off the top of my head Bioshock Infinite, Dishonored 1 and 2, Borderlands 2, DOOM, God Of War, for example.)
Anyway, NakeyJakey is arguably the best of the lot, which is why I posted the link. Not to 'remind' everyone of my issues with RDR2, but to give visibility to a great video I think a lot of folks here would enjoy.
