Several days into RDR2 and my thoughts are: It's annoying to have the old generation ship shenanigans going on in Elite while RDR2 is still a bit of a shiny bauble. After all I only have a certain amount of hours per day I can play games, so I look at the HOTAS, think about plugging it in, and then I think, hmmm. Cowboys. Guns. Gorgeous sunsets and misty mornings.
But then I actually play, and although it is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship, I do find the button-reminder-pressing (is it gonna be E or R or F or WHAT??), the forced, glacial pace of walking around in camp or buildings, and the micromanagement mechanics of weapons and clothes really quite annoying!
I mean, the number of times I'm off my horse, get ambushed and - What? Where's my trusty Lancaster Repeater? Oh, it's on the flipping horse, and all I got is a pistol and a sawn off... Dead. Again.
Having said all that, I still have that "Is it time to play yet" frission of excitement. I'm thinking that I'll go full rogue soon, just nicking every plush carriage I see, and robbing the poor denizens. Anyone want to dissuade me?
Last point, re performance, stability etc. I have had one CTD, but other than that it's been rock stable, running at 54fps (according the the Nvidia Experience overlay), and yes, you 120fps-ers are probably lol-ing at my feeble framrate, but apart from the occasional ghosting effects, it still plays fine and looks gorgeous.
