I'm sure I'll get back to RDR2 but yeah, it's a big game.

Despite everyone advising me to increase the difficulty immediately, I decided to play on normal to get familiar to the game. Getting to know the waypoints, the random dungeons, trying stuff etc...
The game's like a fantasy class simulator. You pick a class, customize them a bit, and that on normal difficulty *anything* works kind of feels liberating. I make my dream Palad--err... Crusader. AoE normal attack, and then shield throwing. I see a bunch of enemies, I throw the shield at the ranged attackers and bashes the melee lot in 1 or 2 swings. The horde just evaporates on contact with me. That I OHKO almost everything makes it very smooth. I can throw my shield at 2 or 3 ranged attackers and forget about them since they'll all die (the shield bounces around seeking targets). It's super easy, no challenge, but I enjoy the dynamics. Of course it's a little bit boring and I have these deadly big attacks that are wasted on most stuff.

I haven't played a game like this since old school Counterstrike. There's a good reason for it. I get way too addicted to this stuff. I sat down at about 10 PM and just intended to play a couple rounds then go to bed. Suddenly, it's 2:30 AM and I can't even believe it. I had force myself to put down the stick and go to bed. I don't get the sense of time-loss when playing other games I enjoy. At least with Counterstrike, the server I played on would empty at a reasonable hour so I had no choice but to quit. That doesn't apply here. Also, it gives me a headache. For some reason I tense up my neck or shoulders when I'm playing. This is probably because I suck so bad. So on one hand, I really want to get into it more and on the other I just should stay away lol.

It’s huge, but really laid back. I’ve turned it into a hunting simulator, where I murder hundreds of animals for their pelts. I haven’t touched much else, except for robbing the occasional stagecoach and knifing some random people

Can't wait to spread my criminal space drug empire across the stars. Or have my genocidal tree people browse the wares in the galactic slave market. This game has gotten progressively darker if you're an evil empire. It's kind of great because I never play slave empires but it always gives me great galactic villians that are supported by play as well as rp.

There’s no Old Navy and McDonalds. Hunting was a part of life, like work

I’m swimming in food in RD2 right now. So nah, I murder dozens of animals just to find the ones in a flock that have perfect hides. The rest I leave to rot in the countryside.
All so I can make a new vest and some nice campfire stump covers!

Also been enjoying Horizon Chase Turbo (PS4). Its a homage to old arcade racers like Outrun and its awesome. I suspect it'll be good split-screen too but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

How is this possible? I’ve given all my horses names predicting how they will die. CliffFall, GunFace, WolfChew and TrainHit, that sorta thing.

My horses name is Comet. I've had a couple of crashes but he was just badly hurt.
