It’s a toss up for me as to what is the greatest game of all time - GTA San Andreas or Red Dead Redemption.
San Andreas is probably the most fun game I’ve ever played, and arguably the most groundbreaking game ever (there wasn’t any benchmark, I hadn’t experienced Vice City as I was too young and my parents just refused point blank to buy it for me - god knows how I convinced them at 13 to allow me to play San Andreas).
Red Dead Redemption was probably the most original though, and for sheer atmosphere and emotional investment into the actual story, I think it probably squeezes it as the greatest for me.

Agree with you there. Red Dead for me is the greatest game ever, haha I still don't like the ending not because it isn't good but its a real kick in the bollocks.

Haha, exactly how I felt, I think I shouted at my TV ‘come on, you can’t do this!’ such was the emotional pull of it. As an aside, I think John Marston is the greatest video game character of all time. For an open world game, it’s very easy for game developers to focus on the external world at the expense of the individual you are playing (I think perhaps a criticism of GTA V is that I just don’t care for the characters enough) but with John Marston they got it spot on blending the internal character and his interaction with the outer world. Even the small little nuances of engaging with the landscape and environment like going hunting gave the character that sense of independence and other-worldliness which was reaffirmed in the plot.

Red Dead made you care about the characters and story. As brilliant a game GTA V was, it failed in that area in my opinion. Also one of your protagonists already being rich and living in a big house with a tennis court and swimming pool kind of took away from the rags to riches story that GTA usually is.

How many pairs of scissors does one household need? X I hate to be "that guy", but those scissors all cut different edges. It's an arts and crafts thing.

Rockstar did it again. Red dead redemption 2 is a masterpiece. This is the greatest open world I've ever seen and I'm playing it on a normal ps4. Absolutely breathtaking world. I haven't even made it through the story yet,it's just so much fun to explore the world, to go hunting fishing or whatever. I don't know when it was the last time I completely ignored my social life to play a video game
