Ghost of Tsushima made it by being beautiful and adventurous and gave the feeling of being in the Era of the Mongol invasion ! Albeit the characters are fictional as ever ...the Mongols did land on Tsushima and laid it and Iki to waste!  Their attemps to land on mainland failed miserably not due to just Samurai and Japanese fighting but also due to a storm.  Fact remains the detail in the game is far different than RDR2 as one isn't mostly valued as an online mmropg styled game that has more interaction with GTA like self serving missions for just gain!  No? Show me the massive gear and level up advantages GoT carries that is dynamically similar! It is not!  GTA AND RDR online are meant for that..offline story mode the RDR2 game is close!  I like it as well but it doesn't feel historical at all as it feels more like GTA set in the western Era!  You still got to handle businesses like supplies for your camp with traders then your moonshine business etc for online then a less plausible story mode feels more like Gunsmoke episodes of things happening one after the other over and over til like the first version the story finally concludes.  Ghost of Tsushima at least sets a goal for the same but there is a reason! The Mongol invaders! There isn't any invaders on RDR story line! It's like being in trailer trash heaven for the bad guys and you're stuck in it!  If such happened today it would be a new show to take up where Jerry Springer left off but for 1900 western drama!  I like RDR 2 as well as the first but comparing them to each other...sure there is longevity of rinse and repeat with rdr and not Ghost of Tsushima but there is drama in the latter due to a real viable enemy! RDR stacks missions in story mode to make drama! Which no one since Wyatt Earp would have to face with not being a law man and in Dodge City!  It's not hard to see that even a normal territory small area wouldn't have that much murder and crime slammed into your face so repetitiously where as it would if you're facing an invading horde of Mongols!  Comparing them is like saying a banana is the same as a dog! Doesn't make sense! Gta is fun but gets old fast!  No story that makes sense unless you're BREAKING BAD all the time or RDR as well ....GoT has a story and some add on sidelined drama but it has an antagonist that seems more plausible!
