I'm like the opposite kind of rdr2 hater, I loved all the boring shit but the unfocused story and the shooting gallery gameplay ruined it.

The ideal cowboy game would lean into the simmy stuff, stylized graphics instead of realism, have you drive some cattle across the landscape with a character-driven story, have quiet chats with them during the night watch. And now since we are commercially unviable anyway, make it take place in like the Eurasian steppe or anywhere else that is not a settler fantasy. Also, make the cowboys gay. Thanks.

I liked the gunplay, I hated that it was the core gameplay loop. It was so off-putting that you just keep rocking into massive 20-man shootouts and you solo the whole thing. I'd much prefer it if it was more duel-based and even then there's less of them. There's a reason they're the peak of most western movies and not... Just the bread and butter filler. Meeting someone at high noon should be a big deal, instead I hit antagonize and here I go murdering again

I don't understand it and probably won't pick up the next read dead if it plays so boring again. Skinning animals to get the various different arthur outfits and stuff like that had absolutely no appeal to me. I did hunt down the legendary animals and did most of the sidequests so I gave the game a fair shake.

I'm glad you like it, but I would almost call it more of a simulator than an actual video game.

You do you though. Bloodborne is my personal favorite game of the last 10 years if that tells you anything.

Yeah, if i hadn't enjoyed that I'd probably hate the game too lol.

Haven't played it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I loved DS1 and I'm one of thise wierd people who loved DS2
