Mick you and Evia bring up some good points.

I'm personally unsure of how long it will take me to beat the story. But i know this: I'm doing the bare minimum to get there. The first red dead redemption i loved all the side stuff. This one is just so much more tedious with navigating menus, fighting controls to do the immersing stuff Mick is missing like hunting, exploring, upgrading, happening upon side quests. Nothing feels interesting or inviting and makes me think "wow whats over here" I need to go deeper

Ive heard there's a ton of easter eggs: alien space ships, ghosts, vampires, ghost trains, etc. Im sure the story has some redeeming qualities like Evia pointed out. But i just feel so far from uncovering any of that, with my nose constantly in the menus.
