I finished the game a couple of days ago and I was doing mental gymnastics to convince myself I enjoyed it.
"The world was beautiful"
"Cowboy games are a rare experience"
"It's a god damn Rockstar game"
But nope, I finally realized it. The story was weak to me, the gameplay was book example of servicable and I found the epilogue more engaging than whole game beforehand. I noticed this with GTA V too, all these raving reviews and chatter, while I forced myself to finsh the damn game.
I just got RE2 and I cannot wait to play more tonight, it feels like fresh air after RDR2 while whenever I booted RDR2 something in my head was whispering "I hope this is the last mission".
I know most of this is "cool story bro" tier opinion, but for such highly reviewed and acknowledged game I am just surprised how disconnected I am.
