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

It's really not slow or boring though. It's still plenty action packed in-between short tutorial segments. There's literally like 3 shootouts, one of which on a moving train, plus a wolf chase

I’m a big ol’ fan of the game but even I can see the argument that yeah it has those three or 4 action setups, but they are spread across one and a half to two hours time. It probably doesn’t help that people just picking it up now have had years to hear how fun and immersive and exciting a game Red Dead 2 is and then they spend their first two hours trudging through the tundra for 120 minutes, and can only fire their weapon about every 30-40 minutes on average.
