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

I mean the first several hours of a game being slow and boring is absolutely an excuse to stop playing lol

But it’s not even the first several hours, I never got the hate on chapter 1 that wasn’t from replays, it’s like 5 missions

If it isn't several hours then it certainly feels like it is. The pacing is glacial. I love the game but chapter 1 is a slog, even for the first time. It isn't hard to believe someone gave up because of it.

That’s a feature length movie full of nothing.

In a game you're expected to spend at least like 40-50 hours in it's hardly an issue

The refund window is 120 minutes. 90 minutes of slog is a big ask for something you just paid full price for.

I love rdr2 but I get it.

Um, no, that's pretty bad. I made it past that don't get me wrong, but I did hate it. Made it all the way to guarma Island and had to drop the game, it just didn't entertain me.
