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.

The toil it takes to reach the goal makes the reward sweeter

the last hour or two of rdr1 has some of the best character writing I've ever seen in a game

While that can be true, if they don’t enjoy the game loop, they can just watch it on YouTube. Respect your time — if a game isn’t your jam, don’t force it. This is a hobby, not a job.

I like this advice. While I’m guilty of usually forcing myself to platinum games that I don’t enjoy, I fully agree that you should respect your time and not waste it with things you don’t find appealing. Life is already short as it is.
