I would say yes but... if someone sees you murder somebody then 30 bounty hunters teleport on top of you... Even if you're miles from civilization. and then when you kill those 30 bounty hunters another 30 bounty Hunter spawn on top of you etc etc etc.

So it's like they sacrificed the fun gameplay, but they didn't sacrifice any of the shity gameplay.

Mick's right. I bushwhacked someone on their horse in the middle of nowhere. As I'm looting the unfortunate soul, some guy just randomly rides up and sees me. I switch to the rifle and slow time down with dead eye, get him before he rides off.

Now I'm looting the second guy. Not even someone I wanted to bushwhack, but had to prevent the bounty. As I'm looting this second corpse in the middle of nowhere... ANOTHER person just randomly shows up.

So I figure, eh, what's one more, maybe it's a glitch. I was wrong.

I put 5 people down, 4 of which I never intended to, because the game actively tries to punish you for everything you do, as Mick mentioned. There's no "outlaw" vibe where you can get away with whatever you want. Where you feel like you're just ravaging the countryside. It's like a racing game where the AI gets better just because you're winning or out-thinking it.

It's really a shame. It could have been a great game, but they were so busy speculating if they 'could' for half of these features, they didn't stop to think if they 'should.'
