Day 55 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
Today’s game is Red Dead Redemption 2. Me and a friend managed to find time to play Red Dead Online today and while we were delivering a bounty I came across this river and noticed how gorgeous the water looks (I have a thing for water in video games if you saw my Mario Galaxy Post). I quickly hopped over to single player to take a screenshot with the photo mode and it was raining when I got there.

I love Red Dead for their sick graphics. The story just doesn't grasp me as much, which is such a bummer!
Same. I logged about 20 hours on it before my desire to play just kind of slowly faded away. The game was too large and long to warrant such basic gameplay mechanics. You could be fully upgraded within 5-10 hours and then you've essentially seen all the gameplay there is. There's maybe 6-12 random "quests" you'll see while traveling (those dynamic events, e.g. a wagon being robbed), so even that part of it becomes repetitive pretty fast.
I'll get downvoted, but RDR2 is a really overrated game, in my opinion. The game was well made, no doubt about it. Its graphics and environmental design are still gorgeous even to this day, despite being 8 years old. The voice acting, writing, direction, cinematography, etc. are all very well executed. However, at the end of the day, I just found it kind of boring to play.
I started and stopped Red Dead 2 several times over a few years, because while I enjoyed the story at first, it just wasn't gripping. Then eventually you get to a point where the story picks up and you're hooked. It has such a good ending.
I did exactly the same. The game had been played on and off about 3 times, never really getting anywhere, but the time after that it suddenly picked up and became one of my favorite games!
The start is really slow, did you manage to get past the prologue for a bit? Might be just enough te keep you interested!
Last mission I recall was releasing someone from a prison which ended up in a killing spree of half the town lol
The end of the mission had a really sick weather presence that make me go "wow"
That's far enough along to know for sure it's not gripping you :)
