Red Dead vs. Black Ops

Game Pro: The two most-listed "top games of 2010" are Red Dead: Redemption and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Determining which one "wins" as far as my opinion goes is almost impossible.

You can't blame me for wanting to know which game is "best." Most gamers have a natural obsession with scoring -- and publishers know it, so they often send out press releases announcing "game X tops company Y's list for (blank)." And who doesn't love reading the monthly NPD sales rankings even if they can't do math to save their lives?

Red Dead is better but both have gotten really boring for me right now

darkvenom5593d ago

umm... third person vs first person?two completely different games,and if i had to choose red dead wins no contest imo.

Solid_Snake-5593d ago

red dead murdered call of duty. red dead took years to make and had some real good rpg elements where as call of duty was just the same gun in ya face different maps.

this thread is weak.

Arup025593d ago

". red dead took years to make and had some real good rpg elements" RPG elements LMAOO

Welshy5593d ago

@Arup

side missions make up parts of RPG games, side missions are in RDR.

so yeh it has RPG elements, not in any great depth but they are there.

Solid_Snake-5593d ago (Edited 5593d ago )

@the faceless thanks for the support.

@arup2 an rpg doesnt have to have leveling up

if you work the words out rpg can mean playing the role of a character.

in red dead hunting wasnt part of the story it was there as a rpg kinda thing. you hunt animals and sell there skins then when you have hunted enough animals new ones apear and you can make more money and get better weapons to make hunting easyer. id say that has some rpg to it.

why isit all call of duty bots think its the best thing ever.

call of duty 4 was amazing and i was addicted. since then theyv been crap get over it.

Welshy5593d ago

well RDR worked straight up out of the box. so surely the game functioning properly from the off says RDR wins?

or have we got to such a bad state in gaming where simply having the most well known brand on the box wins =/

distorted_reality5593d ago

So the authors opinion is that he doesn't have a clue.

I tend to agree with him. What a waste of internet space.

I'd rate red dead above blops - but i'd rate ME2 above both.

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?!’

Alek83106d 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.

darthv72108d ago

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

Lionsguard107d ago

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

TheColbertinator107d 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.

gold_drake107d ago

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

Petebloodyonion140d 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.

Hypertension140140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

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