I jumped back into RDR2 this week. It's summer so I'm only playing sunny games. Fellas is this the Greatest Game of All Time? I think it might be
It is immaculately built, and I wish I cared more about the story. But I did spend over a hundred hours exploring the world in chapter 2
So it clearly did something really really good to keep me there for so long.
My problem with the story is the ludonarrative dissonance - I'm 50 hours in and the story so far has been "We need to do more crime in order to make money so that we can start a new life". But you earn a lot of money very soon in the game so this motivation is not believable to me
Haha yeah very fair, it's like I've gathered thousands of dollars in my exploring so it definitely has removed any trouble I could potentially run into and I could find us buying a new life super easily.
ARTHUR!
I need to get another playthru of that going. Or should I just finish the one I had? Idk, extremely comforting game in a lot of ways. Camping in the rain, cookin food, just riding around in the sun.
