Except playing the game is just such...a chore. It's so tedious. Getting anywhere to even just start a mission can take 10 minutes, then another 10-15 of fluff/conversation/travelling for 5 minutes of action.

If I can only fit in an hour or two here or there (if I have the motivation), and if only a third of the investment in playing the game is enjoyable or entertaining then the payoff ratio isn't worth it.

The Fallout games could be like this, except it had fast-travel, a levelling system, and plenty of side action that kept it flowing and made the grind feel rewarding. RDR II has none of that. Just a clunky feeling game with a meandering story and monotonous gameplay. It's not a fun game to play. It's a 40+ hour long interactive movie.

I over-hyped this game for myself over the course of 2-3 years, so that's a big problem too.
