Boring game

[Mrkholyo]

When will RDR2 start to be exciting?
I've been playing for almost 5h, almost done with Chapter 2 and still nothing interesting.
A lot of filler/boring/useless missions so far and I didn't like Valentine at all.

Edit: Here's my review on RDR2 after completing Chapter 6 (SPOILER):

I bought this game a couple years back and I found it quite boring. Started playing again recently and put in 200 hours. It has to be the one of the best games I've ever played.
You clearly want to enjoy the game but maybe aren't ready yet, give it a couple months and try again

I like to relax in this game. Riding around, looking, listening, immerse yourself, blend in, take it slow.
But yeah, missions are often garbage to be honest.

I got Aurthor HAMMERED before the women's march. I made him start the morning with 10 shots of whiskey then I bought up all the booze in the local general store and chugged them all before the mission, and they Magically sober you up.
I thought at least it would be funny driving the women's march wagon completely blasted out of my mind but no, they wrecked my fun, insta sober from a lethal amount of booze.
SOOOO REAL!!!!!

Friend, I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 because of GTA5's great gameplay. Before I bought it, a lot of my friends said it was a bit boring because it was very different from GTA5. But when I entered the game, I was amazed by the quality of the game's graphics, the magnificence of the scene. The game does feel interesting the first time you play it in some places, but repeating it a few times can be a bit boring. But that doesn't affect anything, for me the details of this game seem to take me back more than a hundred years to become a cowboy myself. Try to play patiently and you will feel its charm, but in our China there is a saying called "each has its own love" If you still feel bored after playing for a long time, it means that this game is not for you, you can try other games, for me horror games, and sekiro and other soul games are too difficult. I was excited, and after buying a sekiro, I didn't have long to play and was dissuaded because it was too difficult. lol

Throughout Chapter 3 the game will begin to pick up, but 4,5 and 6 are definitely where it gets really good. Stay with it, you won't regret persevering through the first couple chapters.

But how much time does it take to reach to Chapter 4?
Almost 7h and still in chapter 2 and I'm not enjoying the game at all.

I would say if you aren't enjoying it by now it's probably not for you. The parts you're calling boring I really loved. I like the whole Western simulator feel to everything, I love the story, I love the gunplay, the hunting, etc.

I understand the people who don't get it but I just think the game might not be for you if you're one of them.

play Tetris then and see if you can meet the challenge

A troll obviously. He only pretends not to enjoy it but in truth it's all he cares about.

I get where you're coming from, RDR2 is very slow burn. I recommend a few things to not make it drag too much:

1. Play immersively - the way to a new mission should be treated like a mini-journey, look at the trees swaying, feel the wind, the animals living around you, interact with travelers and townsfolk, etc. There isn't a world like this anywhere else in gaming.

2: Look up Secrets and Random Encounters. Rockstar are the undisputed kings when it comes to weird and creepy stuff and secrets hidden throughout the games. RDR2 has so much you're likely to not even uncover 10% of what's there without playing 5000 hours or looking it up online.

3: Look after Arthur. A lot of random opportunities are lost when you ♥♥♥♥ something up and accidentally kill yourself. Dying is extremely immersion breaking in this game and it ruined my fun a lot of times. I definitely don't recommend dying (duh). Regularly eat a lot to get that extra health boost.

Story-wise it takes a little to get going but once the game involves natives and you reach chapter 4 it get's pretty damn wild. Definitely worth you while... RDR2 is an american CLASSIC.

I'll be honest, I thought it was kinda boring when I first started playing.

Eventually the simplicity is attractive and just going out hunting or fishing is enjoyable.

It's worth giving it a chance by forcing yourself to play a little bit longer. The game has a lot of flaws but also a lot of charms.

Right now, you're only in Chapter 2, and there's so much more to explore and discover as you progress through the game. The attention to detail is amazing - the world is so immersive and dynamic, with changing weather, wildlife, and NPCs that make it feel like a real, living place.

And the storytelling is really well done, too. The characters are complex and relatable, and as you continue to play, you'll uncover more and more emotional depth to the story.

But the best part, in my opinion, is the gameplay mechanics. There are so many different activities to do, from hunting and fishing to heists and shootouts, and as you progress through the game, you'll unlock even more abilities and items that will make the experience even more exciting.

I know it may not seem like it right now, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is really worth your time and attention. I think if you give it a chance and keep playing, you'll find that it's a truly remarkable game.

Define exciting and we can tell you when.

[SquidwardIsMagic]

Is there any possibility that Chapter 1 and 2 are designed by the game builder to filter the target consumer? Obviously you're not one of us.

[FruitieDart]

Respectfully, don't play the game, it ain't for you. If you're just in it for the combat then exit immediately. I understand chapter 1 was boring but chapter 2? And you don't like valentine? This ain't for you. Find another game.

Imagine the story writers and mission creators had the same talent as people for graphics, artwork, sound and animations

What an insane game it could have been. It's not as trash as GTA V but the vibes are there.
