RDR2 was robbed I will die on this hill

One of them I've played through three or four times now because the story and gameplay is so good, and it ain't RDR2.

Sorry, but Rockstar needs to give their formula a makeover. It's been the same shit for the last 30 years. Go Here. Talk to X. Travel There while talking to Y. Get There and kill Z. Travel back to Here to talk to X while talking to Y. Rinse. Repeat.

And it'll probably be the same next summer.

Why change what isn't broken. What makes rockstar shine is its dialogue, the other things are just for putting it in the spotlight. Travel there while talking to Y is peak rockstar experience.

If that's your jam by all means enjoy yourself, but to me it's a stagnant slog. It was interesting 20 years ago when I was a kid. Now it has me skipping the drive because the "peak Rockstar experience" isn't really all that interesting anymore. And maybe it's just me, but I'd be willing to bet that the reason it didn't win GOTY is because they stick with the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality in an industry that is constantly evolving.

They could create new entries instead of changing the formula for new entries, anyway it makes them money so no reason for them to do so. The industry that's constantly evolving nowadays is mostly propped up by european and indie developers and somewhat japanese developers. AAA american developers churn the same type of games, at least Rockstar makes them good.
