To me right now is the first Red Dead Redemption. Finally I’m able to play it, I’ve wait for over a decade. No spoilers, zero youtube gameplay videos, zero questions about the game to my friends. It gotta be me, and the game, it happened, and I think it sucks.

Maybe you thinking in “well, you shouldn’t play the second first”. I did not. My first Red Dead game was Red Dead Revolver, I was able to play it a few years ago when I could buy a PS2, but I couldn’t get a PS3 nor a Xbox 360 to play RDR1. It grinded my gears because we got the prequel in PC. When RDR1 came to PC it was so freaking expensive, yet today, I think it is expensive. I was able to buy the game some weeks ago while there was a Steam Sale, and well, I regreat it now.

I don’t like its exploration, its missions, its characters, its world, its secondary missions. its wanted system, and nothing but less important: has a lot of bugs.

That’s my experience in a few words.

What’s the game that you wanted to play but it was a total mess?

    I don’t know what remake you are referring to unless it’s the Xbox 360 cancelled remake leak with the Xenia emulator mouse+kb hacked build, but I can relate with the Perfect Dark decompilation PC port. Even with good frame rate and mouse+kb the game is too simplistic to hold my attention anymore. I can play Timesplitters 2/3 and 007 Nightfire instead if I want an old console FPS for some reason, they hold up better.

      Trying to look for it now, I can’t be sure what the specific project is called. It wasn’t official, might be the same team that did the PD one. It only had multiplayer maps, extended versions of them, too, like that soviet library one was fully open when only a part of it was open in the OG game.

        The two that come to mind are Goldeneye Source or the Goldeneye X project perhaps? I am curious regardless of what you find lol.

          It had a playable release a few years ago, though it wasn’t in a polished state. I’d have to fire up my old windows machine to see the install. For all I know they got killed off by DMCA or something (GoldenEye could have been targetted by either Rare/Nintendo or MGM, whereas PD would only be the former, maybe MGM is even more aggressive than Nintendo).

          Apparently there is/was a GoldenEye decompiled that was way behind the PD decompiled project, too.
