WHAT A GAME

It's a rant alright. It's my first playthrough of RDR2. Unfortunately I've spoiled a lot of crucial plot points for myself so I've been stalling the story quests A LOT and IT DOES NOT GET BORING. AT ALL. I'm on Ch3 right after burning down the tobacco fields (now Micah wants to talk to me but 1) I dislike Micah a lot 2) I heard that his and Dutch's quests push the story forward so nah). I'm 73 hours in. SEVENTY THREE HOURS. I haven't unlocked all of the map area yet. I just made Pearson craft the first two satchels for me (gonna go and hunt more to unlock the Legend one sooner). I can't remember any other game that has that much of a hold on a player just doing side quests and random encounters, except for Cyberpunk 2077 maybe (and that one I haven't 100%d as well, ha). I don't want it to end and I don't want to finish this beautiful story at all. I just wanna play all day, hunt, gather herbs, help random folk, rob random folk, find new horses, make Arthur sketch in his diary, find treasures. What a fucking game. I love it so much.

Thank you everyone who read it ig.
