I absolutely prefer open world\sandbox games over linear gameplay.

I absolutely prefer linear focus narratives to sand box games, but to each his own i guess.

SILVER1015764d ago

I get too easily distracted in sand box games. Too much choice.

wollie5764d ago

agreed, sand box games have some much to do that nothing feels that important. It like watered down or something. I can only take so much walking/riding/driving to the other side of the map.

Except for farcry 2 and fallout 3.
I absolutly hated those games.

Best open worlds ive played are:
Oblivian
GTA4
Infamous
Demons souls (kinda open, sure does feel like it.)
REd dead redemption is earning my respect.

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek8344d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard45d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator45d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion78d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension14078d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
