I previously posted that I found RDR2 boring, I generally play shooters or indie games, people insulted me a lot and I received few recommendations or ideas to enjoy the game, I am open to listening, so I can enjoy the game like you.

Are you talking single player or Online? Cos Online there's too many hackers to ruin your day. I can often get a few hours Online with little hassle from cheats/hackers but you know at any moment that will change. You don't even need hackers to be annoying, anyone at any time can just shoot you and they often do. But single player has several ways to enjoy it. you can just stick to the story mode (It's the story that made this game so popular). There are so many side quests that has nothing to do with the story that will make the game something different altogether, like hunting. There's Legendary Animal hunting and/or fishing that gain you money, xp, and clothes you can't buy from the clothes store. Or normal animal hunting that will allow you to upgrade the camp site and/or upgrade and collect the different satchels that allow you to carry certain stuff better or more. There's other side quests that gain you fancy weapons. And there's side quests that are found by meeting a certain people somewhere throughout the map. I made up a side quest of my own because there are many hats to be found that you add to your wardrobe and those hats are either found hidden in some secret place and some you only find if you knock them off an NPC's head (like a sheriff) These hats should flash so you know they are those special hats but some glitch and don't flash. So i made my own quests to wear every hat I find until i find another hat. I went back to camp with a police helmet on and Dutch made a comment that he didn't like my choice of hats.... Anyways, there's much much more from finding every rock carving to fossils or find and tame every breed of horse (some are rare and you'll want to keep).

You have another choice many don't know about. https://redm.net That's RedM, a launcher with a list of player owned RDR servers. They are nothing like Online because each server is player owned and they add their own Mods and scripts. But best is they find cheaters and hackers pretty much instantly and ban them. Rockstar discovered Redm a little over a year ago and said that's how they wanted Online to be like so they bought RedM. As for what you do on these servers all depends on who is running them. All want you to create a character, the way you want them to look, and you Role Play that character. Hopefully you make up your own story.

I mean, the focus of the game is the story. If you dont like the story, then that's that.

You can also try the "mod" (which is just a save file) called "New Game +" that pretty much does all the grind for you but leave the best parts to discover for yourself. It does skip chapter 1 though.

And then there are real mods that change the world etc, but rarely mods can make a boring game fun.

But if you're talking about online... just download a menu to skip the grind and be disappointed to see that there's barely any good content aside from the free mode events, the moonshine storyline and the legendary bounties

When I first played the game, it took me a while to get used to the gameplay. I absolutely hated it at first. It felt clunky and slow. Especially the intro that forces you to move at a slugs pace most of the time. If you push past that and give yourself time to get used to it, it becomes really fun.

If you made it halfway through the story and still aren't enjoying it, then it's probably not for you, but I think you'll be addicted by then.

Definitely don't judge it on the first part with the snow though (chapter 1 sucks).

If you already played some of it and label the game as boring already i dont see how you will suddenly start to like it based on some small tips that will not magically change your perception about the game. Chapter 1 is slow but the game mechanics stays pretty much the same until the end.

If you want action then i suggest using mods which only can be used in story.

I have a mod i built its called Bandit Hideouts, it currently adds 133 hideouts,
and 46 ambush points through out the map, i actually just posted my
33rd update for the mod this past monday.
You can earn money when you clear the hideouts if you want, but
the mod is highly customizable, check it out here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2213

I would recommend that you get to chapter 2 as you can free roam there,
also get the PDO mod aka Ped damage overhaul, and the
Crime and Law Rebalance and Enhancement mod which will fix some dumb
stuff with the law.

Also get the Ped Accuracy Overhaul mod which will allow you to tweak how
accurate the bandits or peds are when they shoot at you, otherwise their all
almost crack shots and its just stupid after a while and you will die, and
you will get pissed and you will quit.

So if you want RDR2 to be a shooter game like what you play, my
Bandit Hideouts mod will do that.
If you want to see the type of action i play then check out my
Youtube channel for the mod:

My tips: only play this game on the right mood and if you have long hours. Just enjoying the flow, the side missions, the story.

If i want to play an adrenaline pumping shooter game, i'd play something like Battlefield or Marvel Rivals.
If i want to play a very good exploration game, i'd play AC Odyssey.

RDR2 is the jack of all trade where almost all aspects of this game are good but not excellent. Focus on the main and side stories.

If one comes here going ‘this game is too boring, therefore it is bad and everyone who likes it is stupid,’ that tends to be the reaction, that people with lower attention spans do not like games like this. It will attract insults, because these kinds of people often will not only dislike it, but will attack people who do like it, because they cannot comprehend the finer things in life or whatever it is.
So the instinct of people who play games like these, who see people saying they think is boring or whatever, often strike first and insult them for not liking it, because they are used to people complaining that the game they like is ‘too boring’ and must defend their position to show that people do like this game and not everything has to be fast pace.
At least something like this for many people, is my theory.


But based on this kind of questioning, you do not seem to apply thus you do not deserve this defensive hate, I hope it does not offend you deeply or anything. I don’t personally have recommendations on how to enjoy it faster paced, it’s not meant to be enjoyed at a fast pace. Unless someone else has a good recommendation, it is fully understandable that this game isn’t for everyone. But thank you for not proceeding to spam 6+ threads saying that this game is bad and anyone who likes it is stupid, like some people.
This is my take on the matter at least.
