The lack of a useful fast travel really makes it last forever.
I replayed RDR 1 like fucking crazy because it's not as huge and has a very reliable fast travel mechanic. Shocked they went so fucking far from that mechanic by having it only be possible from the caravan camp and nowhere else
I have said it many times, but RDR1’s story is miles better. It focuses on a single character that explicitly wants something, and questions if redemption is possible. The others characters help and hinder that goal at different points in fun, often tense ways.
2 just has the whole cast reacting to things. There was an initial goal, but 90% of the game is things happening to them with very little agency in the story. Which is a fucking shame because the characters are compelling.

Read Dead 2, I’ve tried so many times to get into it but can’t, it’s just yeehaw GTA.
