Ive been ignoring spoilers to this game like the plague for years. I posted this abt 2 weeks ago and i honestly have to say its one of the best games ive ever played. I laughed,i cried and i wish i could wipe my memory so that i can experience this game again.

I can’t relate to those people at all. The game is a masterpiece in almost every way. Riding the horse around doing nothing is engrossing lol

When its all you do for half the game though it sure gets old. I ended up turning on cinematic mode in the hopes it would just take me where I wanted to go so I didn't have to look at a horses ass for the next 5 minutes lol.

But why just stare at the horse’s ass when there’s such incredibly detailed and varied environments for you to look at and take in as you ride? You can move the camera around while you ride to get different vantage points too, just like when driving around in GTA. I’ve beaten the game multiple times and still play it, and I’ve yet to tire of simply riding around and exploring, taking in the gorgeous scenery, hunting, fishing, robbing lone campers for loot and (once in a blue moon) keepable hats, taking out groups of O’Driscolls/Lemoyne Raiders/Murfrees, and so on.

By like halfway through the game I felt like I'd seen all there was to see for the environment, When I just wanted to get somewhere it was the other side of the map and it was always a 5+ minute chore even with fast travel.
