  • Finally finished the full RDR2 story over the weekend, including the epilogue. Another deeply satisfying story, which tied everything up for me just like God of War. Might roam around a bit more now, which is something I didn't do with GoW because I was "done" with the game. Or I'll trade in for Horizon: Zero Dawn.

  • About to start second half of the epilogue, am using the time to finish the bits I didn't do previously (legendary fish, animals, look for Rock Carvings as I didn't find any!).

    There's so much weird hidden stuff in the map that I think you could have 100% and still find something new/odd for auto-sketching into the journal...

  • as soon as I finished the epilogue I stopped playing after a couple of hours and never came back to it. despite being a completionist the world becomes very boring quickly once the story goes away imo. the hunting pretty much obligates you to look up animal spawns online as things only appear in certain spots at certain times and circumstances and as you can buy all the satchels in the epilogue there wasn't any real point (plus they're pretty much obsolete by then anyways).

    Was also disappointed when I saw how devoid of content a very large part of the map turned out to be too during the end game. having seen the full map early on I was expecting to have a lot more to do.

    and replaying the missions resets all your stats and equipment to a super low level making them much harder and 10x less fun.

    haven't even been mildly tempted to try online either after seeing how rockstar have gated all the interesting shit behind a ridiculous grind for gold bars or micro transactions and read how much griefing goes on.

    i might replay one day as it's a great game but will do the more grindy tasks much earlier on in chapter 3 when the world is more alive.
