Comment on Control - the first game to get me to turn on cheats in decades
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoI haven’t played yet, and I’m worried I’ll have a similar reaction. I have had a lot of trouble getting into other popular games. For example, GTA V (finished out of spite), BioShock, Borderlands, RDR II (loved RDR1, only gave RDR II an hour, so probably deserves another shot), BotW, and several others. It seems that the more popular something is, the less I probably like it.
I do generally like popular AA and indie games though. I’ll give Control a try though, maybe it’ll surprise me.

I’m with you on RDR2. I can’t stand it. I don’t know why. Even BotW I get bored a lot. I really enjoyed Bioshock and Borderlands, though I’ve never finished either. ADHD is a hell of a thing, and only the games that should be the hardest to stick to (like JRPGS or Bethesda games) stick for me.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have ADHD, but who knows, I’ve never been tested for it. But yeah, some longer games work really well for me, and others really don’t.
RDR2, for example, just feels slower in every way vs RDR1, which is probably why I didn’t get sucked in.

Honestly, if you didn’t enjoy the first hour of RDR2, it might not be the game for you. I’m a strong believer that not every game should appeal to every player, and RDR2 really knows who it tries to sell itself to.

I’ll probably give in another couple hours. I didn’t actively dislike it, it just didn’t grip me, so it’s quite possible I didn’t get far enough for the story to really get interesting.
I had a similar problem with RDR1, but it was a bit faster pace so it didn’t take as long to get out of “tutorial island” and on to the main story line.
