Just as excited as the rest of you here. Absolutely love Red dead but I hope its just 1 main protagonist. I love GTA V but the story sucked. I want this one to have atleast as good of a story as RDR if not better.
I assume, it's hard to create a good story for a game when for the first half you have to focus on introducing the multiple characters to the players and have them introduce to one another. Only then the real story starts. Until that happens, its all just an introduction to the mechanics, protags and the universe.
Single protagonists mean you get to invest more time to give that single protagonist character depth that keeps the player emotionally invested and interested in him and his quest.
In short, No more multiple protagonists anymore please. It kind of worked for GTA V because story is not the first concern of its player base. But I hope they dont do it to Red dead.
