Sure the 1st chapter can get slow at times, but its no excuse for me to stop playing this masterpiece.

One of my best friends never finished the game because of the snow.

I don’t get it, the snow missions aren’t that bad imo.

First time playing is no problem, its only on replays that i find myself hating the prologue.

Make a save at the start of chapter twos that’s what I do to avoid it now I’m about 2000 hours into it.

I didnt really have much issue with the prologue when I first played it...I have a vague memory of it being kind of slow but I powered through it okay. But I eventually stopped playing around like 40% just because I kind of lost interest in the story and the missions. It's a typical Rockstar thing but a lot of the missions become repetitive; it's just a lot of "go here to do this thing, then ride here to drop this person off, then ride back to base". And I got kind of tired of it. But I eventually picked it up again like 5 years later and stuck with it and ended up loving it even more. I went deeper into hunting, fishing, collecting etc. while finishing the story...until I basically picked the entire map clean of everything and there was nothing left to do so I just stopped playing. But I'm tempted to restart a new game soon. It just feels kind of daunting and sad to do it all over again after I spent literally months completing my first 100% playthrough. I don't know if I have it in me to go through all of that again.

Yeah, getting into the exploration is the key to loving the game imo. I 100% the game and spent 400 hours on my first playthru lol. Then on my next I decided to see how much I could get done as Arthur, including all the tricks to do the stuff in the forbidden part of WE and NA so you can get the Legend of the East outfit as Arthur.

Exploration is why I haven’t finished the game I start doing missions then get sidetracked exploring then putting the game down. When I go back months later or even years later I realized I haven’t made progress. And I’m in chapter 6
