I played the original this past week and was really underwhelmed. The world was empty besides the same five random events popping up occasionally, missions were repetitive and boring, the story felt really disjointed etc.
The story in particular was really bad. You have John withholding info from other characters about why he's doing what he's doing, which in turn withholds the info from the player which makes no sense because it's information the playable character knows. Should I kill this Javier guy? I don't even know who he is. Then there was stuff like when 2 missions were available but if you chose to do them in the wrong order one mission would make a reference to the other despite those events not happening yet. It was really sloppy. Hopefully the sequel is better but the massive hype for it is confusing to me. --- If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. ...

I mean this game is the equivalent of Oscar pandering movies so it would have been shocking if it got less than like a 90.

It's Rockstar, and even more so Red Dead Redemption, there's no way anyone is giving this game below like maybe an 8.5

Breath of the Wild and Oddysey last year were both top 3 and 5 till they changed their ratings structure to absolutely annihilate Nintendo....

Game Oscar-bait is a lot harder to pull off than film Oscar-bait; and the point of actual film Oscar-bait is that they are films that cut corners and then shoehorn in certain themes to appeal explicitly to the Academy member. Video game journalists in general seem a lot more in-sync with the average gamer than an Academy member is to a film-goer.
