So, you're paying an extra few, hundred euros/dollars for extra system and gpu memory. It's like getting 32GB system ram instead of 24, and 16GB gpu ram instead of 12. Should it be no more than say, €200, I would pay, but no more unless it were a more dramatic increase.
@Shalooda That's a good example of why RDR should have a minus in its score. I get the feeling that developers may be using humour or parodies of life to excuse their lack of skill in making better AI reactions, or simply cutting corners on the same. That RDR example is a good example of poor work: they could easily code the AI to react aggressively for a much longer period. Outlaws though... The AI seems literally stupid in the videos I have watched, showing very poor work. Is it meant to be a joke? I strongly doubt it. Forgiving? That's unlikely as examples given show contradictory behaviour, such as ignoring bodies, or alerting the entire area once you've been spotted. Come on, they rushed the game out, and I object to forgiving a high cost game like this. Coupled with the other Ubisoft pirate game recently, they seem to be cutting corners while charging high prices. I wouldn't review score above a 7 for that reason alone, they need to be warned or punished for laziness or greed.
@Shalooda Fair points you make, absolutely, but let's address each one in turn (that I have played). MGS, the box: you know that's a joke, it's obvious it's so unrealistic, while Outlaws doesn't attempt that humour. RDR, I haven't played and that sounds stupid if there is no AI reaction, worthy of a minus 0.5 or 1 point in its review. GTA, again, it's a deliberate joke, a parody of life so again, not a suitable comparison. Anyway, bugs/glitches present in a AAA game on release that are so obvious or poor should deserve minus points. They invested millions in this, not thousands. It's 2024, not 2004 when bugs were almost unavoidable at that blatant level. Why charge 70 £€$ for an unfinished product? Review copies of games should be seen as the final product, so to speak, not an off-Beta not quite there yet product. I got burned with Homeworld 3 on release, shoddy work. I don't accept this anymore as I would 10 or 20 years back.
@Shalooda There's a large difference between criticising and 'destroying' a game. I would give it a 5 or 6 based on many reviews and videos: that's criticism, not destruction. Admitting that faction choices have no meaning (or little) on the main is a deal breaker for me, and further proves a lack of depth. How about hiding in bushes surrounded by enemies? Enemies not flushing out vents knowing you're in there? Enemies unable to shoot below waist height? A small creature able to carry a rifle up a ladder but a human cannot? That's not nit-picking when the list of issues is so apparent. I get the feeling people are promoting its virtues due to having spent a lot of money on it: either party are subjective. I have watched many videos and most point out issues/problems. So again, how could it be greater than a 6/10?
I haven't played it, but I have watched many videos of it. I can't understand how it can get a score above a 6 if it's true that choices made regarding faction choice are not meaningful, or the main character is dull with no meaningful ending, or terrible AI very clearly shown in many videos, or dieing when e.g. hitting water rather than just swimming out of it etc. Unless these videos are fake?! I see very clear poor quality in many videos posted.

Having taken two to three times longer doing the quiz, I assume the person in #1 position cheated by spending time looking up the answers.

@KusoYaro It depends on your viewpoint: £40 is 4,267 rupee!

@LiamCroft Whereas I uninstalled after Prestige 1: it became immediately boring starting again. Literally bored me.

@Shalooda Well, I guess I'll have to Ubisoft+ it, and see for myself;)
