From what I seen, people are complaning about how slow paced RDR2 is (looting bodies, washing, etc) and this seems to make me not want to get the game. I cant imagine anything more frustrating. I barely have time to game as it is, so if the whole thing is so slow I can see myself droping the game fast.

With that said, anyone who played - what do you recommend? I am looking for something fun to play.

Spider-Man is a pretty short game. You can platinum the game in like 6-7 days without putting too much time into it. Probably the easiest platinum Ive ever earned and I never hunt trophies.

I mean, outside of them being open world, they are two completely different experiences. Do you want to be a Wild West cowboy, or swing through New York and beat up thugs and supervillains?

So I saw a video on What Culture Gaming that kind of made me think: Basically, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a basic open world game, and the people who like it would probably like ANY open world game. It doesn't do anything amazing in the gameplay realm, it is just an open world western game. If you were to play the original Red Dead Redemption you would have exactly the same experience. So I know I would like it, but that is because I like all open world games as long as they are competently made.

So in summary, get RDR2 if you want a by the numbers open world game, and get Spider Man if you need something with a little more stuff added to the gameplay.

How long as each play sesssion? 6-7 days does sound short, but if you played like 6 hours daily... Not judging you, just wondering. Trying to make a smart buy.

How good is the misquotation? One of the main reasons I love Elder Scrolls (and DkS series to an extend) is how you can craft equipment (armors/weapons) and it gives an unique feel to the character.

Again, my main gripe is the people complaining about the slow animations. I can see myself getting frustrated because it took me 10 minutes to loot the bodies after a fight. I am not sure if it's being exaggerated as I have been unable to find a video that shows this.

I literally just want to play a game that is fun - not sure exactly what type of fun - ergo - this topic.

Honestly, both sound super fun, but I feel both got their issues. Which is why I wanted some other opinions on the games.

I haven't played either and don't really have much interest in either, but RDR 2 sounds like a massive disappoint for a lot of people and the opposite seems to be true with Spiderman, where pretty much everyone loves it.

RDR2 by a fucking landslide, dude. Watch Spider-Man on YouTube. The combat and web swinging are repetitive and boring. I normally do not like R* stuff, but I am liking this one.

As fantastic as the writing/cutscenes in Spider-Man are, playing it is very repetitive (and gets old fast)... just watch it online, honestly.

RDR2 is clunky as hell, but it's still way better.

This.

Plus Spiderman is extremely short, and it will most likely get a price cut before RDR2 does.

I can understand it getting repetitive, but I'd probably rather play that than RDR2. But it's all about what people like. I will probably watch most of RDR2 online, though...

Don't you have to pay for a stupid online fee for whichever console you're playing on, though, to play online? (PSN vs Xbox live). That's really dumb and I'm surprised more people don't complain about it. By all accounts I've heard, paid psn isn't much better than unpaid psn was.

Most of them probably already pay for online to play other games. So, it probably isn't a big deal to most people, I guess...

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the longer of the two. Buy Spider-Man when cheaper and/or when a inevitable complete version comes out. It's a good game though. It's just RDR 2 is better.

You mean like generic open world side missions that means absolutely nothing and a short story mode? Sure. Like it or not Spider-Man is "a basic open world game" like the rest of them.

10% of everyone who played Spider-Man got a platinum trophy, which I believe is one of the most about any game (if the rarity of that is to be believed).

It doesn't take long to 100% everything.

Sounds like you are talking about RDR2 as well.

At least in Spiderman you have super powers.

You would know this how? From watching videos on youtube(from WhatCulture no less)? I've got the plat for Spider-Man and currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and you're simply wrong. Just like with The Witcher 3 the writing of the quests and how immersive the world is makes RDR 2 a lot better than other open world games on every level. RDR 2 does it better than any open world game I've played due how you can interact with every pedestrian, animal and so on. I'm not saying RDR 2 is perfect as no game is but it's better then Spider-Man on every level for sure.

And my point is you just described every generic open world game, and that is what RDR 2 is. Any time someone describes a competent open world game, they always use buzzwords like "immersive". Hell, at this point saying that an open world game is immersive should be the blueprint on saying your game has no real content. What I am saying is that Spiderman is more fun because you have the added element of super powers in an open world. At the end of the day I don't care if it takes me 5 minutes or 5 years to travel from one end of the map to the other, I just want to enjoy doing it. It is the same reason I have more fun playing Saint's Row vs. GTA even though I love both series to death.

Plus I know I will like RDR2, because I loved RDR. Once it comes out on PC I will gladly pick it up and probably put close to 200 hours into it like I have every Rockstar open world game. But am I going to kid myself into thinking that it is somehow superior because it is made by Rockstar despite doing the same thing that they have been doing for the last 15 years? No. I'll like it because it is open world and even bad open world games are good in my eyes.

Why can't people like one better than the other? I will agree that RDR2 has way more stuff in it. In the end, he would get more "Bang for his Buck" if he likes games like that. But if someone doesn't like cowboys(or just doesn't like RDR/RDR2), but loves Spider-Man, it might be better. Or if they like swinging around the city instead on riding a horse around. Or if Spider-Man is just more interesting to them. For example, I would probably enjoy Spider-Man much more than RDR2. I don't really like that game much. Only reason I'd even watch gameplay online is because of a specific group of people playing it. Where Spider-Man would actually hold my interest and be fun for me...

I think you missed my point. RDR 2 isn't just like every other open world game and to say it is is factually wrong. If you like Spider-Man better that's completely fine but that doesn't take away the fact RDR 2 is indeed a milestone for gaming and open world games as a whole.

I've no issues with folk watching anything online. However without actually playing the game yourself you really can't say much about it. That's my point. I don't play COD for example however watching videos online about it doesn't make my opinions on how the games are valid over someone who actually has played it. I can say "it's not for me" and that's perfectly fine but can't say "huuur durr COD 2018 is just like every other shooter" when I've no idea how it's like.

Spider-Man is an updated edition of games like Web of shadows, Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man two. You might get more out of Red dead Redemption 2. I have been playing Marvel Spider-Man constantly. Many of "side quests" appear randomly and they involve in beating up thugs, chasing down trucks, fighting at construction sites, and trying to remove bombs. Outside of finding crimes/criminals, you search for collectables (backpacks, landmarks, solving lab problems at lab stations).

I do enjoy Spider-Man. I'm at 30% story mode but I have been playing at least 2 to 3 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. i bought this late September.
