Day 236 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots

I see a lot of praise for this game but have not looked a lot into it. How would you describe it and what makes it so good? I'm letting myself be convinced for my next game to play
The story is really what makes it so good--you start to feel invested in the character, in the world, and that helps with getting deeply immersed in the gameplay. It's an incredibly well written game.
Beyond that, the screenshots show a lot--it's a world that feels very lived-in.
Also the gameplay is a ton of fun. Open world, lots of places to explore--some of them beautiful, others treacherous, some both.

I continued through Red Dead Redemption 2 today. I spent the entire evening doing Honor Missions and Stranger Missions. Upon returning to camp i got this sight of a rainbow over the swamp that i thought was pretty and wanted to share.
During the Arcadia for amateurs side quest, i too also took a picture of the horses as they ran past. This is the first Horse based picture i've taken that i think actually turned out good. I've taken a few of Arthur's current horse in the past and i feel like they always come out looking like the horse is hovering on all 4 legs.
I also went and did Mary's side quest. I let Arthur go and enjoy the theater with her because he deserves it. and i got some fun pictures of the play.
I also went by that abandoned town to pick up a book for Jack and grabbed a picture of the door. Back when this game first launched i remember hearing crazy theories that this was teasing undead nightmare 2, because it was similar too the door in the first episode of the Walking Dead and supposedly you could hear noises on the other side. I gave it a try for fun and didn't hear anything though lol.
Finally, there was this picture of a storm i took. It's very mundane but it really capture the feeling of a storm on the plains for me. It really was an amazing example of how much detail Rockstar put into this game, because it's not often a game gets me to stop and say "wow, this feels so familiar". One of the few recent games i can think of that did the same thing was Silent Hill 2, which really captured the town feeling it was going for.
I think it's pretty obvious you're not going to forget at this point

It makes you feel like it's really happening. You're up North in the mountains, and you need to get back to camp to talk to a friend, so you ride your horse, and get stuck behind a wide carriage for a bit, and the trees are close to the trail for a while, so you can't easily get around without getting a faceful of branches. One you start making it down the mountain, you find a nice looking deer and think "that hide would look great on some boots", so you pull out your rifle to hunt. Unfortunately, you're up wind, so the deer ran away very early on, but you couldn't be deterred, so you chased after it, and eventually landed a good shot. You take the meat to the butcher, and he comments that he's greatful you brought it in so fresh this time. You wonder why you ended up here, oh yeah, you wanted to go meet up with a friend, and it's been over an hour and you're just less than halfway there, so you look up at the sky and wonder how long it'll take, it's a very pretty sky at sunset, so you decide to make camp for the night.

Truly wish I could have kept playing this. I was having a blast. Roughly 60% of the way through, game started crashing 30 seconds in. Went back multiple save files, same thing. I've never been more disappointed in a game that I truly loved.
I know how you feel. I've been having a bug where it crashes after a few hours of playing. I feel like it's been getting shorter and shorter though

This is still one of the absolute best games ever made. No other game feels so alive. It's almost scary how easily you can get lost in it.
Definitely. One of my favorite things to do is just turn off the mini-map and go through the world blind. It's really fun making your own landmarks to navigate and really helps me appreciate the world

I loved playing this game.
The online version of it fucking sucks though.
I love the Online, but even i will admit Online is so disappointing. With how many hackers run rampant and the lack of content, it feels like it's just been left to rot

I'm not normally this dedicated to things. I'm honestly surprised i've kept up on it this long. I have like 90 different projects that range from Games i've tried to make too books i tried to write that just never got finished
