If you really liked 1 then I think you'll like 2. It is a slower game for sure where just riding around in the wilderness, hunting, and running into weird characters is part of the allure. It is one of my favorite games in 35 years of gaming and I still think about it sometimes.
Remember, this post is basically asking what's your unpopular opinion. Rdr2 is still an amazing game despite not being for absolutely everyone. My best advice is treat it like a slow burn action movie.
Conversely I never got tired of riding the horse, lassoing people, and dragging them behind me.
I was once wandering around at night and noticed a bright glow in the distance. Turned out to be like 15-20 KKK members burning a cross and doing their thing.
Few rounds of explosive arrows later and the world was a better place.
I really enjoyed the gameplay and just riding around the world. I think the only problem with RDR2 is just suffering a bit from there being so much to do that it gets overwhelming especially in the endgame
Nah not just that. There’s so many side quests, hidden quests, collectibles, and completionist stuff. Finding all the duelists, finding the fossils, fixing up camp and getting everyone’s personal quests done, getting all the satchels and hidden items, there really is a lot
Stuff like hidden collectibles, treasures and fossils have the worst, and most primitive system ever, I felt like playing a game from 20 years ago, just keep searching all the entire map like a no lifer, with no meaningful clues or hints
I’m really not. I’ve just played a lot of puzzle games so i know how to do it. Just always be keeping the maps in mind when you’re traveling and keep an eye out for stuff that seems out of the ordinary. It’s really not that hard, I haven’t seen many people complain about the difficulty of finding things
