played enough of this (~6hrs) to realise it's a game about getting on a horse and mashing the A button for hours at a time, exactly like RDR, and i hated that game for it, so im not gonna do it again

i like westerns a lot, i dont like this at all. i think i basically just fucking hate Rockstar writing, and the Beautiful Sprawling Vistas do nothing for me in light of that. i'm susceptible to that transcendent moment of adventure in a game, same as anyone, but i will not find it in a game studio as boring & unpleasant as this one.
