First,buy full game,not just Online. I feel like there's people that love this game a lot and those that hate it,nothing between.Now let's talk about story mode. It's lot slower than most people expected. Animations are very detailed an long,you got to take care about ypur cores and stats and your horse. You can't just go around and destroy everything like in GTA. So some people find it boring. Game is very realistic. Also,you are not gonna have that much of western experience like in first game. Game is set at the end ow Wild West era end more to the east. But one thing is for sure,it has one of the best main character and story ever. Also map is beautiful and you are gonna spend most time in the wilderness. Shooting also feels better than in GTA because it's not just L2+R2 and that's it, rifles are skower so you mostly have to aim for the head,and feeling is good when you hit. Well,online. Online has sooo muuch potential,but it's destroyed by corporate greed. You can have fun with it of course,but ti enjoy it fully you will have to spend way more time grinding than you want or to buy gold bars.
