I like throwing them off bridges.

That got you an achievement in the original Red Dead Redemption; "Dastardly"

I love GTA and open world games like Skyrim. Would a 11 year old find this game too boring or violent? We're starting to play lots of games together like CoD, NHL 19 or Battlefront together - even if it's single player. I've been hesitant to buy this game but it sounds truly epic

I don't think a 11 year old would enjoy the game very much imo.

about 15 hours of playing and i'm starting to have fun now - quite a bit, in fact.

not sure if it was me or a more common complaint, but this game was tough to get started!

For those who have played a lot, am I going to miss anything if I turn into a complete bad guy? I'm towing the middle line pretty hard right now and tell like I'm missing things

The control scheme really doesn't do the game an favours IMO. More than a few times I've accidentally pulled out my gun when trying to interact with strangers and it's ruined a few little side missions when trying to do a good deed.

Amazing game. The start is a grind like previously mentioned but you just, accept it and love it. The slowness, the pace, it's brilliant. Arthur Morgan is a damn legend.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey might be a better fit, more arcady control scheme and features to make player life easier (one touch looting, fast travel, cheap re-speccing of abilities at any time), and little action downtime as there as many missions and things that you happen to run across, as well as the ability to get really overpowered. And in a large and amazingly beautiful world.

If you've questioned the level of detail put into this game, this guy follows around NPC characters for a full day (in game) to see what their "lives" are like.

I started tonight. You start near Blackwater area(ish). It’s amazing looking. Can’t wait to explore it more

aye - that is a piss off. i cant remember exactly, but i ended up shooting a bank teller <?> when i tried to greet him which started a chain reaction of killings that eventually lead to me having a $300 bounty. Then i was either apprehended or died and lost all my skins from like FIVE HOURS of hunting, including a couple of legendary animals

I didnt play for about a week after that.

Yeah you really need to ensure you save the game manually when you have legendary skins or when you enter a new town as I have had things go awry and lost skins as well. Also it sucks sometimes when you are minding your own business and get held up which leads to a gun fight and a witness rides by after you have killed all the bad guys and they take off to rat you out to the authorities and you end up with a bounty on your head for protecting yourself from being held up.

Maybe it is just me but I find hunting and fishing in RDR and others open world games really boring. I'll do it if the story makes me, I'm attacked by a bear, or I really really want an upgrade but otherwise I can't be bothered. There are so many other fun things to do in the game instead.

My 11 year old loves it. I have shielded him from some any sexual content, though for a Rockstar game it is fairly tame in that regard.

Hunting is fun but it's not really rewarding within the game. Stealing wagons is much more profitable.
