    Well, it’s not like RDR2 had a short story, so I’m ok with that.

    I suspect they want enough of a solo game to not piss off us old guys, then will quickly pivot to GTA6 online for the cash cow.

    If the world and AI are good, I’ll have endless hours causing chaos and jumping motorcycles.

      Yeah kinda my take.

      I would’ve been fine with RDR2 being a bit shorter, frankly, I was kinda dragging along by the end.

          Yeah, sure. I’m not saying the epilogue was too long, just the game overall.

          Consider it: did they really need every scene in the game? Are you honestly gonna tell me that every. single. mission. was plot critical or would’ve made the game lesser in any significant way?

          There was a lot they could’ve trimmed down or removed.

          Which, to clarify, it’s not like I think the length is a great crime or significantly detracts from the game. I just feel like it would’ve been better if it was a bit shorter. I’m not trying to compare it to something like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey where it’s a 100+ hour game and 70hrs of it is narratively irrelevant.
