Tell us what atmosphere in a game can add to your experience. In this article, I'll reference several games and their knack to engross the player.
Oblivion's Shivering Isles is arguably the best DLC for any RPG and is still enjoyable after more than 17 years.
I was just thinking about that a few weeks ago. How amazing Shivering Isles was... Felt like a whole new world.
Witcher 3 Blood and Wine is the best dlc for any rpg....not even arguably. It is the best.
Agree that Blood and Wine is an exceptional DLC cut from the same quality cloth of the main game. Shivering Isles was that over a decade ago, and was truly a unique setting from the rest of the game. Possibly one of the last major old school "expansion" packs.
Terrific expansion. A starkly different locale with new plants, wildlife, towns, weapons, quests, Daedra variations including a remarkable madman deity presiding over that beautiful freak show.
Bethesda may never make anything that good again and that saddens me.
Rockstar Games had considered making Red Dead Redemption and GTA movies at one point, but had ultimately dropped the idea.
Both would make more sense as a series than as movies, though I think Red Dead would be far easier to adapt.
RDR would be a great movie. If they allowed Martin Scorsese to work on it, I think it would be outstanding.
RDR would work really well. From the GTA universe, IV would work really well because of how gritty and realistic the story is.
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.
red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.
I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny
@caca
I know i said that
Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is
Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.
Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..
The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.
You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic
“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”
Oh and thanks for the laugh ..
Looken
It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated
On topic:
If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)
@neutralgamer1992
Really so that gaint R symbol on the box is just a myth

@all
the disagrees with actual evidence just shows how many on this site ignore truth fact.
It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.
red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...
after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption
But you all will hate this because facts are scary
"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.
From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm
https://www.engadget.com/20...
The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in
Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.
Just looken
I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates
Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af
I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
atmosphere.
If you are not drawn into the world, then you are only watching it and thus not really interested. I like forgetting who I am and where I am when I play a game so that I live in that setting. Atmosphere is a key element in this process.
Look at a game like Limbo. So simple but the atmosphere is what took a smart puzzle game and made it something amazing.
Metro 2033, Bioshock, LIMBO and Dead Space all have superb atmosphere.
Everything. Look at Resident Evil 5 and then the older RE games, especially the gamecube remake. Same series, different feel
