I feel kind of bad for console gamers. The quality of games is so poor. I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC not too long ago, because it was ported to PC and everyone raved and raved about how good of a game it is.

There are two dozen better RPGs already on PC, and the gameplay is shallow and repetitive.

I played it for maybe 15 hours before I totally lost interest. I doubt I'll ever play it again. Maybe part of this is that I can only choose the most milquetoast main character ever created for a video game. He may as well be named "old west man." mobile.twitter.com/rockerest/status/1481819533535059968

But, no, I don't think so. This game just... It doesn't have anything to offer.

And while I'm at it: Open World games are a blight. The mechanics they bring to the table and the "survival-rpg" center line that every game has normalized to is awful. "Open-world" has become synonymous with "you decide what to do" and it's a fucking chore.

I play games to not have task lists and businesses to run, and jobs to complete. Game designers have just abdicated all responsibility and decided to just put lots of chores in a digital world, set players loose and call it a game.

Anyway, I've really been enjoying playing games on the Nintendo Switch because they're directed, cohesive, have clear, accomplishable goals, and generally play like games instead of jobs.
