To me right now is the first Red Dead Redemption. Finally I’m able to play it, I’ve wait for over a decade. No spoilers, zero youtube gameplay videos, zero questions about the game to my friends. It gotta be me, and the game, it happened, and I think it sucks.
Maybe you thinking in “well, you shouldn’t play the second first”. I did not. My first Red Dead game was Red Dead Revolver, I was able to play it a few years ago when I could buy a PS2, but I couldn’t get a PS3 nor a Xbox 360 to play RDR1. It grinded my gears because we got the prequel in PC. When RDR1 came to PC it was so freaking expensive, yet today, I think it is expensive. I was able to buy the game some weeks ago while there was a Steam Sale, and well, I regreat it now.
I don’t like its exploration, its missions, its characters, its world, its secondary missions. its wanted system, and nothing but less important: has a lot of bugs.
That’s my experience in a few words.
What’s the game that you wanted to play but it was a total mess?
Have you tried playing it through Steam (as a non-Steam game) and using Steam Input?
These games work best on controller given how you’re meant to rebalance as you walk, so I’m not sure how common this issue is…
That’s how I play it now. I tried through the Epic app and still have the same issues.
Still doesn’t work with Steam Input enabled? Maybe look through the community layouts?
I appreciate your effort, but I’ve been through all of that already. Forum posts across the internet and the best “solution” I can find is to not plug the controller in until the title screen… Which doesn’t always work.
There have been times where I could play without issue for 4 hours or more. There are also times that I load the game and am immediately punching at the air or getting in and out of a vehicle without pressing any buttons at all.
This isn’t an issue with the controller layout. This is specific to this game and how it registers controller input.
Bummer. I played them on PS5 so I didn’t have any experience with that
