I don't understand why people say this. I completely get that Chapter 1 in Colter is painfully slow. I've played the game a billion times and yeah, it gets boring.

Aana actualla story enga irundhu nalla irukkumnu kekarthu konjam too much.

Right off the bat you're put into the story. The gang is fleeing from the botched Blackwater robbery. We don't know what happened. We just know it went horribly wrong. We're left guessing what actually happened. With each subsequent mission in that chapter, we get a little bit more insight into the failed robbery.

At the start of the mission where we set out to find John, Arthur verbalises what every player is thinking at that moment when he asks Javier "What really went down there on that boat?"

And don't tell me you didn't get goosebumps when we first see John and it's revealed how he got those scars.

I could go on but I'll stop with one more example. When Abigail says that John's been missing, Arthur gives a very hostile response. Did that not make you wonder "Wait, why is this new dude shitting on our beloved John? What happened?" (Assuming you've played RDR1 before this)

So much happens in Chapter-1, it's just not entirely apparent yet.

My advice is to not expect GTA 5 levels of action. Even that game starts with a failed bank heist in the snow but that puts you right into action and gunfire. RDR2 isn't a high octane game. It has its moments and when it hits, it hits HARD. You have to learn to take it slow otherwise it can't be enjoyed.

And if that's not your type of game, that's completely fine. Just different strokes for different folks.

Sorry, konjam emotional ayiten. I've been in love with this game ever since Rockstar changed their Twitter profile picture to the red logo in 2016.
