It's got a great story. Which is why it's considered awesome.
However yeah... if you aren't doing the story missions the gamplay is way too much like some sort of boring simulator.
If you aren’t doing story missions you should be exploring the world which is pretty open with a lot of cool stuff in it. I don’t really know what people are doing if not that TBQFH
Exploring the open world would be fun if the gameplay wasn't so simulator like.
I think something Elden Ring is an example of gameplay done right in an open world.
In retrospect? Yeah the gameplay of rdr2 is ass. Sorry guy
I feel like when people say RDR2 is simulator like what they are trying to say is pickpocketing people is a chore, to which I would say stop trying to pickpocket everyone, it’s the worst way to play the game. Most of your resources should be from exploring and most locations have like max 3-4 things to interact with and have decent stretches in between them. The only one that is annoying is skinning, which was straight up ported from RDR1 which people love, so that shouldn’t be a big deal either.
TLDR- go to cool location and look around. Stop trying to rob every dead body they mostly have .02 and a pocket lint.
I legit boot it up to go fishing or hunt. same places i have been a hundred times and it never gets old
Big Valley and Lake Owanjila are my favorite
I didn't even do much skinning or looting after a certain point and the gameplay is still stilted.
No game is perfect. Rdr2 is no exception.
