RDR2 is overrated

Let me just start by saying, not only I played RDR2, but I’ve 100%´d it. This post is solely based on my opinion and if you don’t share this opinion with me, it’s completely fine.

RDR2 is an amazing game. From the story, to the characters, to the graphics, to the attention to details, it was fantastic and R* really set the bar high. Though, I’ve began to see a lot of people praising RDR2 and glorifying it to an extreme level. Now I’m not saying one can’t glorify their favourite game, but I’m saying that actually thinking it’s the best and that no game would ever top it is a little too much. Something I’ve also noticed is that people think that the game is actually flawless in every angle but in reality, it’s not. As much as good it looks, we can’t deny that certain bugs and glitches are indeed present, like someone flying after shooting them, being stuck in the game’s decor or a malfunction in an NPC’s programming. Also, in terms of story, most of it was great but we can’t deny some mission were just boring, and I get that it’s a buildup for future missions, but its still a little burnout. Another point is the game’s combat system, which is to be honest fairly easy. I mean, you can simply use your dead eye ability most of the time and even when you don’t use it, your aim assist is still available. Sure, you can turn it off, but it’s still fairly easy to aim by yourself and the enemies are also very weak compared to you, which strips away the challenge part a little. Now, something else I’d like to point out, is that the game gives you already a nice amount of money after Chapter 3, which never leaves you longing for more, especially for a game about being an outlaw (even though Arthur evolves during the story).

Anyways, I’m not too sure if these points resonated you or if it’s complete BS, but personally, I think RDR2 is extremely overrated and glazed by too many people that also dream of becoming outlaws IRL. Feel free to rectify or defy any points I’ve made, I’d like to learn more and maybe you guys can change my opinion on the game
