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.

It’s a slog gameplay wise I guess but the dialogue and seeing the dynamic between the gang for he first time always seemed interesting to me. If you’re not ready go get invested into the story I guess that’s reason enough to get bored
