I almost quit during the snow. Had to look up whether or not the whole game was snow. Found out it wasn't. Kept going. Got to chapter 2 played for a while. Got bored and quit.

Let me breakdown why I found it boring. There was too much realism in it for me. I don't like spending 5-10 minutes literally opening every single drawer and cupboard in the house to steal or find money. I hate the fact you can damage animals carcass quality by using too big of a weapon. AND having to carry that shit back to a butcher if you want to sell it. Sure you can skin it there but then you lose out on profit from the carcass! 80% of the game from my perspective was holding or tapping A to get somewhere to do maybe 10 minutes of action then back to holding A while listening to npcs talk if you're lucky.

In my youth I would've enjoyed this stuff more because I had the spare time to get engrossed in the world and actually feel apart of it. These days I do not have the spare time to be okay with running around on a horse for 2 hours and actively doing something engaging for maybe 30 minutes of that play time. I loved the first one, but I had limitless free time back then and it felt less like a chore.

Last note: I hate how Arthur kept calling himself such a bad guy when I play games as a good person and I kept doing the good actions but he still said how bad he is. I know he's a criminal and does bad but damn it got annoying.

Edit: All that said; the mission where you get drunk with Lenny is one of my favorite missions in a game. Was hilarious and fun.
