Kinda Sad Now After Completing the Story 100% in RDR2

[STTN208]

After finishing the epilogue of RDR2 which BTW (Arthur's and John's Stories were a 10/10 in my opinion) I'm just feeling kinda sad and a bit Unenthusiastic and Im debating on starting anew. But as I feel the Online is a cluster ♥♥♥♥ of a mess (Sometimes) I just feel as though Restarting would put me back into a enjoyable sense of owning Red Dead 2 in the first place. I just want some feedback on what to do

Other games exist.
If you've 100% the game, then at that point you should probably look for other games to experience. Don't keep playing the same thing over and over when you're missing out on other experiences.

I'm in my 4th playthrough.

Way too much in this game for a single playthrough.

Less Story - More Game.

Online is pretty good in my area. Everyone is very well behaved.
NE-USA.

You hardly scratched the surface of this game, on my other account I got 305 hours and that is 2 playthroughs of just getting lost in this world of the american frontier. GO boating, fishing, find one of the many secrets, find the strangers, play poker, start a bar brawl or fool around with the lasso or dynamite. feed some women to the gators, or some lads, I don't discriminate in situations of such nature. Just ride around and find the next adventure.

I know there is nothing quite like RDR2 but there is a lot of fun to be had in other games, perhaps play the story of GTA V (again?), play L.A. Noire or Max Payne 3.

Or quit the game for a year and start playing something different; games I enjoy are the Bethesda games like Prey, Dishonored 2 and DOOM: Eternal.

Also I can wholeheartedly recommend Control.

An excellent game aswell would be Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition.

Just find another game to get you hooked, lad

I understand that and yes I am playing other games to experience the story of them RDR2's Story just hit different mostly with the wild west/new era (Also being a Prequel to the first RDR) this kinda of story allowing for some moments for me to just enjoy and whats hooked me in trying Online, But finding it both very boring and sometimes a little crappy with random people who are LVL 300 trying to kill a lvl 15 or 25 (me) and the fact I would be playing somewhat solo (Now while the community for RDR online is one of the absolute best community at some times I find it to be highly the same thing happening over and over again._

Yeah, Online is a different experience than storymode. RDR2's writing is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good for a videogame. I spent a long time just in Chapters 2-4 doing openworld stuff because there's so much tthere. The closest I've found to it is Witcher III, but there are lots of great rpgs out there if you like that kind of content.

Online's story content sucks. It's fun to play with friends, but my god, every NPC is begging to be shot. I've only played about 15 hrs online, and I've seen a few folks spawning lions on me and what-not, but there's a lot less griefing than I expected. I play in the Pacific Rim region, so that's saying something.

And thats why I find the story a much more addicting experience with much more to offer since the online content in my opinion has no addicting offers that would make me want to play it more

i've 330 hours in the game and still on my first playthrough. Finished epilogues last week but trying to finish all challenges if possibles and getting pelts for all outfits. Online not an option for now cause of bad experiences i had for GTAO and blatant cheating.

I would possibly play story one more time and have the patience to watch cut scenes instead of skipping half of them like i did

[JACKSin]

I enjoyed my second playthrough more than the first but never finished it.

Try Far Cry 6 if you like those game at all. I don't know how it started out but I've been playing it the last couple weeks and for me it's the best game in the series.

[White Knight]

Over a thousand hours on multiple playthroughs... this is a solid go-to game that continues to provide new things to discover each time.

I get what you mean of course about feeling a bit bummed-out at the finish, so I just go play some other game. Then one day, I'll be swinging a lightsaber, or a longsword, and think to myself... I wish I were riding a horse.

And it starts all over again.

Lately, I tell myself "I'll just play to the end of chapter two", but that never happens - once I'm into it, I want to see it through to the end.

For me, multiplayer is irrelevant, but others seem to enjoy it... sort of?

I have a question and it seems you know what you talking about.
I think about to get a 100% Savegame and have fun with the game without Gore.
Is that Possible? Playing it Peacfully? Is there enough Content for that Gameplay Style?
Thx for the feedback.

It isn't. A lot of folks call this the cowboy game but it's really an outlaw game, and blasting out some brains comes with the territory. There is no way to turn off the gore.

[RageMojo]

I have over 850 hours in single player and about 100 or so in online. I will never go back to online, its trash that still doesnt even have 1% of the online missions GTAO has.

Think Outside the Box

The game is fun but time to grow...
Time to learn a musical instrument
Time to learn a foreign language
Time to learn a sport like golf (lots of "deals" get done on the links)
Time to learn to build a healthier YOU (weight-lifting, running, etc)
Time to learn shooting (real guns which are way more challenging than any video game)
TIME... TO... LEARN

My point... none of the most successful people (by net income, fame, position / power) spend more than a few hours a WEEK on any games.

This game is a masterpiece to be sure but you've done it already.
Don't stagnate. Move forward.

Put another way, don't waste time with a re-run. Do something NEW. Grow.

[KnightRider]

2900 hours into it. 500 online. On my 8th playthrough...I guess I like it pretty good. Obviously don't have a life anymore.

[The Cure]

According to rumors there is a RDR1 remaster in the works.

Let's hope at least. It would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome.
