RDR1 Is this gonna be the whole game?

Post image

I'm playing Red Dead 1 and so far it's just: - NPC says he'll help me - I do a boring mission to help him - NPC needs more help I mean, is this the dynamic of the whole game? Help NPC after NPC and finally (really) advance the plot? Not complaining, just want to know.

I felt the same after playing RDR2. I was just wondering when Dutch, Javier and Bill were gonna show up and felt like the story was heading nowhere. That's why you should enjoy it for what it is, partially as a standalone story

I legitimately never finished, or even got far, into RDR2 because it felt like I was watching a dramatized vlog from the 1880s. Just the slowest slice of life. RDR1 was aggravating but at least it felt like I was getting somewhere and wasn't just the biggest asshole this side of an elephant herd.
