Man I hate when that happens. Same thing happened to me with Far Cry 2, the savegame got corrupted after reaching the second map (about halfway through the story). I think I returned to it after 2 yesrs, but I'm glad I did, because it ultimately became my favorite Far Cry.

Honestly the problems were things that could be worked around but you shouldn't have to account for poor gameplay to get the full experience, know what I mean?

Like the game wants to be realistic but people have to understand you are controlling the game with a mouse or a controller. So the game needs to compensate a little for the degree of separation to help immersion and realism. I mention hitboxes a lot but they really do need improvement. I genuinely hope they fix a lot of those issues because I really do like the game, but it's frustrating. I find it's one of the few western horror games that's actually scary.

I'd suggest a preowned good condition xbox series s or newer controller, as it has Bluetooth so you wouldn't need to by a dongle if you wanted to use wireless. That said, an older xbox controller will also be sufficient if wireless isn't something that bothers OP.

Also if OP does decide to fork out lots, a xbox elite 2 controller has fantastic battery, I charge mine once every 4 or 5 days. It has around 35-40 hours of battery life, downside is the battery can't be changed, but I've yet to have issues with mine and its 2 years old. Bluetooth on those controller does chew battery a bit more, and some people have issues with that, but alas, swings and roundabouts lol

You can be immune to it at first but it will wear you down eventually sadly. Always, it will get you like that witch, gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha. Especially when people start to grief as in intentionally make the game much harder and less enjoyable for you as a way of trying to hurt you when simply trash talk isn’t enough. Actions speak louder than words, and griefing in games is a sad man’s game.

If you're giving something a 2/10 and calling it garbage, that's not really just acknowledging the flaws anymore. That's just calling it bad.

There's also a difference between "I can see why somebody might not like this" and "this is a flaw of the game".

Sure we can say that RDR objectively has a lot of horse riding in it, but as to it being a flaw? Well, what happens if you think it's a flaw of the game and I think it wasn't merely tolerate but was actively a good part of the game that made it better?

Is one of us wrong? What exactly is the deciding factor in choosing who is wrong? If neither of us is wrong, then "just accept it's a flaw and you like it" feels like it kind of falls apart here.

That's what I'm getting at. Now granted a lot of people struggle to accept "People like different things, and some might think something you like is actually a flaw".

I think it also works both ways, and a lot of people struggle with the reverse: Some people might think something you think is a flaw, is actually a strength.

Ultimately at the end of the day people just ought to not care as much what random people on the internet think of the thing they like.
