I respect what they did with the world but I didn't enjoy the game that much.
Realism or not, that's not how a person moves. If you guys have that much weight and momentum while walking, you need to see a doctor.
Other thing that annoyed me is the crazy fail states during missions. Take cover behind the wrong tree and it's 'Mission Failed'. Really hurts the whole freedom and immersion.

One of the greatest games of all time. Loved my time with it on my first playthrough, and will certainly be going for more servings shown the line.
Shame we'll never get the first Red Dead Redemption on PC.

Legendary!
one of the best games ever made and puts nearly all other western developed open worlds to shame.

I loved the first but never got around to the sequel. Now it feels like there is no point in playing it given that I’m sure a remaster should be coming out any time now.
It’s probably a forward thinking engine design, the animation system would probably benefit greatly from current gen consoles, but as dev you can only do so much , so you have to make choices. Imagine what they can now do on Series and PS5.

Yeah I might give it another go if they do a remaster.

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
Don’t count on it probably won’t see it for years if it even happens

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Clunky shooting aside I really enjoyed my time with the game. Nice story, cool world and a level of attention to detail that makes it a very immersive experience.
Still want to double dip on PC, waiting for a deep sale.

Waiting on a sale. Haven't seen it get below $20. I'm in the $10 range on this one.

Stealing one of my own screenshots from my (long ass) writeup in the Backlog 2022 thread.
Transcript of the conversation -- Guy on the right: "Uhhh.... can I get my own videogame?" Guy on the left: "Fuck you bitch, you already did, this is MY game."
Seriously though, Arthur Morgan is now my favorite video game protagonist.

Why would R* support a game that sold a measly 40+ million copies?

You don't have to worry about crafting too much, and you'll get a quick travel map in your camp.

That's how I feel. I like John as a charcter in the game but his part after ending kinda ruins the feeling of the ending. I would at least like to see credits before his partStealing one of my own screenshots from my (long ass) writeup in the Backlog 2022 thread.

New game plus with 4k60 and I'd happily jump back in. But Rockstar don't care about there fanbase these days.

Arthur is the most detestable character to control in an open world videogame ever, add to that how slow everything else for the "realism" but I doubt a cowboy so slow was able to survive a day in the wild wild west.

They're not.
Controls were responsive. My character always did exactly what I wanted him to do.

I have a "theory" about why some people loved the game and others absolutely hated it because of the gameplay (outside of difference of tastes obviously).
I really took my time with this game, I finished it in about 150 hours, and I initially had no issues with the gameplay, I was actually expecting even more realistic stuff given how people talked about it, which imo is clearly exagerated. I really liked the world, the level of detail etc, it was so immersive, I loved exploring this open world which I think is one of the best open worlds too.
However, I was only doing story missions every now and then, often with multiple hours of open world between each, so story missions felt more like special event which kept things fresh when they happened. Later in the game though, when I was reaching the last third of the story, I didn't really have anything to explore anymore, and started playing story missions after story missions, and there, it became a bit less interesting to play.
Your gameplay is a lot more limited during story missions, sometimes you can't even really decide to walk to the left or right, it's all pre scripted and you can't do much outside of what the game has decided for you during this specific script. Because of this, I think people who hated the game are most likely people who mostly focused on the story missions and never really took their time with the open world. If you keep playing a lot of story missions one after another, they do start to feel too scripted and it can be frustrating at times.
I think the game is best experienced when you space the story missions a bit, and try to see what the world itself has to offer. It also explains why the people who liked it spent so much time with it compared to the ones who didn't love it, again, outside of obviously the taste differences, because it's not a little difference here, it's usually maybe 40 hours against 100-200 hours.
I did like the story though, I had a great time with it, I'm only talking about the gameplay aspect, how it can feel if you only do that.

Greedstar will never release a patch.
A better version will be released for 60 bucks for sure.
