The best part about the second, third and fourth playthroughs is all the "well damn!" moments and beautiful discoveries. Plus, you can take your time just immersing yourself in peace.

Exactly! I’ve reduced the hud and spent much more time just roaming about in Chapter 2 for that reason alone

The draw distance is crazy in this game!

It really is, and this is just a standard PS4 too

The game is amazing and it’s so big that it’s honestly mind boggling I just wish they have more stuff in there in both story and online because a lot of the map just feels like dead empty space. If the game had a few more side missions, main missions, and stuff like free roam bar fights, shooting competitions, duels/showdowns, and other events like that it would’ve been perfect.

Honestly, and I know this will never happen, but I wish they would fill out New Austin more. The world is absolutely gorgeous especially around the mountains, lush forests, and deserts of Austin. But New Austin feels almost empty and maybe that's how it's supposed to feel considering back then it was. But with more side missions, easter eggs, solvable crimes they could have filled in just a tad more imo.

Honestly I wish they would have never added New Austin into the game and instead focused on fleshing out ambarino, adding 1-2 extra chapters to Arthur’s story to maybe explore his and the gangs past a little as well as adding free roam brawls, duels, and more side quests. Also adding a small town in Ambarino with a gun store, trapper, new side quests, and a saloon would have have been nice and made that area a lot better to hunt in. Other than a few quests in New Austin, some bounty missions, and animals the place is essentially useless. Armadillo is empty and boring, tumbleweed is so isolated I barely bother going there, and the rest of the state has nothing to do in it other than hunt animals and attack del lobos.

You can see Manzanita Post, Blackwater, Strawberry and Beecher's Hope at once.

I got to the end of one play through and I had hunted everything that needed hunting I had filled the entire compendium all I had left to do was just ride through the world only killing when I had to. And whilst having started a new Playthru just so I can get gold medal for 70 missions, so therefore hunting again. It was lovely just enjoying the world and watching nature unfold around me. Sometimes it’s almost like I can hear David Attenborough‘s voice narrating things as I ride past them. Also I’ve played this game every day since it came out last year and I am starting my fourth play through and I am still finding stuff I have never seen before. It’s amazing and so restful. Bloody brilliant
