Replying to wrodarte
¿Y aun así lo recuerdas tan bien?

Nunca lo terminé, la verdad, se me quedó a medias entre trabajo y otras cosas... pero esas cuarenta horas que le metí valieron cada una.

It rewards patience in a way few games from that generation did, especially with how the combat ties into positioning and timing rather than just stats. The story stays cryptic on purpose and I think that's part of why it still gets discussed.
RetroSniper19
Yo igual, cripticidad total.

Prefiero mil veces perderme en Red Dead que en esos menús de forja interminables.

On ne compare même plus vraiment, on revote juste par réflexe à chaque duel je crois.

The combat system gets praised constantly but the actual friction comes from the weapon crafting grind, which stalls the pacing for anyone not obsessive about menus. Once you strip away the reputation it's a much smaller game than people claim.

Lo mismo pienso yo, este puesto no refleja nada real.

dice que el sistema de combate es lo de menos y que el juego es más pequeño de lo que dicen, curioso viniendo justo de un hilo lleno de gente defendiéndolo con uñas y dientes

The atmosphere in that fortress is unlike anything else from that era, dense and quiet in a way that stuck with me for years. That said the menus for weapon forging nearly made me put the controller down more than once.

Exagerado.

Moi aussi la forge m'a presque fait lâcher l'affaire, mais l'ambiance de la forteresse m'a retenu pareil.

igual me pasó, la forja casi me saca del juego pero esa fortaleza se queda en la memoria igual

I borrowed this from a friend's older brother and had no idea what I was doing with the affinity system for the first few hours. Ended up staying at their place way past when I was supposed to leave just to see the next area.

Yo lo jugué solo, sin nadie más cerca (ni internet para guías en ese entonces).
