Basically what the title says. The graphics and attention to detail is staggering! Huge bonus to be able to choose between 1st and 3rd person view too, AMAZING!! But the gameplay and general feel of the game is too slow, at least for me. There is ALOT of back and forth. The missions and activities seem extremely scripted and the game holds your hand quite alot. The gunplay is stupid, having to manually cock the hammer of the revolver is just dumb imo, prefer the gunplay in rdr1. The "random" events does not seem random at all, more like "triggered by proximity". The story itself is decent enough, I am only about 20 hours in, still at chapter 2, but when I got a certain mission in which I needed to steal horse carriages I simply did not feel like playing anymore. The main protagonist is an ass, same as the rest of the gang, don't really care for any of them. Fast travel is the same as rdr1 (which was trash) and it just makes the smallest missions seem like a chore because you need to ride 3km to shoot something and ride back to get a new mission, I suppose u could make camp and then fast travel,but why not simply do it like witcher 3 or AC Odyssey? A better fast travel system is what this game needs. Shame really, I want to like it, but too clunky controls, boring missions and slow horse has made me quit playing.
