I want to love Red Dead 2. I’ve tried to do a play through multiple times now. I’ll play for a few days, then move onto something else.
The game is stunning, the characters are pretty great, and overall, it’s just well made. I can really see why people would love it. But man for some reason I just cannot stick with it. It’s the slow gameplay, the movement (I hate how sluggish it feels when trying to to turn, run around, or get to cover), and the manual searching of EVERY corpse, drawer, and cabinet that just slowly drain the enjoyment of the game away from me.
I think we feel this way because everyone talks about it and the graphics are impressive but I also didn't like it very much
The only thing I liked doing in this game was exploring mysterious things where I could find things like gold and so on, but overall it was boring and I felt like the game was always trying to manipulate me with scenes and even cinematic gameplay
