Whenever I bring this up to friends and colleagues, they disagree with me, citing Call of Duty: Black Ops or Red Dead Redemption, rattling off about their experiences in Halo: Reach or Heavy Rain. I feel like a contrarian. No matter what game released this year, from the ones that I loved the most (Mass Effect 2 and Super Meat Boy) all the way down to those that I liked the least (I’ll single out Fable III here), each had some significant flaw that I thought detracted from the experience, enough so to keep them from being legendary releases.''
Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.
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.
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.
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.
Rockstar says the free upgrade issue affecting Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owners requires more time to resolve, with another update expected within five days.
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.
Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
A detailed comparison of Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 shows stronger settings, better performance, and a major uplift for Nintendo’s new hardware.
The fact this article exists is a testament to how good this year was.
yeah too bad reach and black ops were disappointing
2010 was pretty damn good though.
I thought 2010 was an amazing year.
2010 was meh. It had a few good games but only a few games really stood out. 2011 will be much better seeing as how you'll have games like Duke Nukem Forever, Uncharted 3, Elder Scrolls 5 (with a new engine), Portal 2, Mortal Kombat (finally going back to it's roots but with an improved combat system), The Last Guardian, and many more.
