1.There may not be statics to show that but just look at how many people bought RDR compared to FNV.

2. how was it ovverated and it was hyped because its a good game and they are smart to get hyped about it. FNV why would they get hyped...'"Oooo its another fallout game pretty much similar to F3 with some tweaks added to it."

3.The ending for one is not LAME. Not every game has a happily fairty tale ending. so get out of that kind of dream world. The game showed what happens when you mess witht he U.S. government and try to get away with it. Its showing reality. Happy endings only happen in fairy tales. What undead was better than The orginal RDR because it has Zombiessssssss. ooooooooooo. Please it was good but not hardly enough time for the most important players.

4.what do you expect its a WESTEREN there isnt going to be crime scene investigations. Shootouts happen in the wild west. for the story line it was good and keept people hooked.

5.In your first sentence there im pretty sure your talking about RDR. Because there are actually ENVIROMENTAL factors in the game in RDR. Plus also theres constantly wildlife wondering around on the map to interest you. Yah and FNV's enviroment is totatly more interesting...a boring desert that nothing ever happens in. Horse riding int he game is quite interesting unlike nothing to ride in FNV. Instead of cars all the damn time to ride around in.

How are we supposed to do that without statistics?

You just found one of many loops in his arguements.

Both similar but One seems to have a little more. You may put anymore that you know of or anything.

RDR is overrated and overhyped, just like another game I can think of, and it isn't CoD: Modern Warfare 2.

1. So more people bought the game? How many people are "playing" the game though? What if someone bought the game but returned it? That form of statistic is not fact, we're talking about how many actually "play" it currently.

2. I hate hype because it gives false expectations, and overrated because people say how amazing the game is when the writing is on par with scooby doo and repetitive, the gameworld incredibly bland (while beautiful) and the quests cut down to "Watch horse ass bump up and down then shoot a couple of people."
It's my opinion on it though, not fact, but it's also my opinion that it's overrated, yet again, not fact.

3. The ending was [censored] awful because after the climactic battle you basically had to clean up.
Let's go into metaphor here, say there is a film about a high school party, lots of comedy and crap, well, the last 15 minutes of the film consist of them cleaning the place up, two minutes of vacuum cleaning here, a minute of wiping the table there.
That's basically Read Dead Redemption, after the party, after the climix, we get the incredibly boring aftermath which leaves the game seemingly unfinished.
A game needs to lead up to something IMO, it needs to go up up up up up and when finally at the top it ends.
RDR went all the way to the top but then skyrocketed down to the ground again and went up a little then called it a day.
I don't consider that a good ending.
Unique, sure, but bad non the less.

4. Well, then the game is no better than random action game #583, if you have an open game world then you need to have [censored] actually in it, RDR had sand, cacti and the occasional wolf and bird, sure it was realistic, but realism is awful which I think is clearly shown in RDR, which is why I liked Undead Nightmare cause crap actually happened.
And the story kept people hooked?
I'm not even going to go in on Mexico, that whole part was too dragged out with filler quests to flesh out a game that had way too little content to begin with.

5. In FNV the map actually have stuff to find, actually have interesting wildlife around, actually have secrets waiting to be discovered.
RDR is empty, too empty, the occasional wildlife does not count, if I wanted a hunting simulator then I'd buy one but RDR isn't suppose to be that now is it?
And horses handled like crap in RDR, NV does not need vehicles or mount because the gameworld can't support it, is too small and has a fast traveling system.

But I guess it's my fault then, I thought I bought an old western action game, not an old western hunting simulator.
