Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PC<\/a>. Here are our thoughts again on the original release. Just imagine this but potentially looking way better.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When I\u2019m reviewing a game, I try to stay away from the talk surrounding it, The Discourse, until I write my own review. It\u2019s a common practice. It helps me make sure my thoughts are original and makes me more confident in my own opinion. But this was pretty much impossible with Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> considering how close<\/a>\u00a0I started playing it to release, how long the game is, and how much Discourse the next big Rockstar game was bound to generate. I\u2019m just glad I got my fairly pure thoughts on the game\u2019s opening hours<\/a>\u00a0out there.<\/p>\n

But once I did break down and start checking on what some other folks were saying about the game, I saw a trend quickly emerged in the window between embargoed reviews and the general public playing the game for themselves. There\u2019s this idea that Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> is so simulation-level realistic that it\u2019s slow and tedious. That the game is boring. This game is so huge and different that there are a lot of theses I could’ve hung all my disparate thoughts on. But after like fifty hours of playing, in my opinion at least, my main thought is that\u00a0Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> isn\u2019t boring.<\/p>\n
