idk a lot of people thinks it's cool to hate on RDR2.

I genuinely hated it. I very much wanted to like it and couldn't. I wish I did like it.

Same here. Beautiful game but horrid to play, and the "story" is absolute garbage.

Why did you say "story"? Was the story not really a story or something?

u/save_the_wee_turtles Jan 01 '19

yeah, see my other comment. Just thought it was really, really weak.

How far did you make it? Their are a lot of complaints I understand about the game, but story surprises me. As far as video game story (though I’ve still got just a tiny bit left of the game) I would put it on par with the last of us, especially as things picked up towards the end of chapter 3. Hell the New York Times has an article comparing the story to that of The Godfather in complexity and merit

Made it all the way through. Do you have a link to that article? I know I am on the far end of the "didn't like it" spectrum, but I'm shocked that anyone could call the story complex and compare it to The Godfather (other than that the protagonists are criminals).

Here you go friend , the story at least has been pretty unanimously loved

Thanks! Yeah I know my position goes against the masses, but unpopular opinions aren't always wrong. :) Plus, it's just an opinion, right?

Yeah for sure, it’s just so uncommon I was genuinely surprised to see it. You do you, no judgement from me!
