The mechanics of the game are not clear, and there will be random transitions into fights or whatever. Blah! The information is scattered all over the place which is simply bad design. The menus are poorly labeled with random crap in some of them... cannot tell whether this is intentional or not - but, in any event, why is it like this? I'm kind of sitting on a 4.5/10 for this game. Not terrible, but definitely not a good game, and not worth 60 effing dollars. Update: I see bing has some ranking system it displays in it's search results when you [search for "red dead redemption 2 steam" that shows it scored a 3.5/5](https://www.bing.com/search?q=red+dead+redemption+2+steam&PC=IS45&PTAG=SYS1000000&form=ISCHR1) and [metacritic shows user scores at a 5.8 out of 10](https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/red-dead-redemption-2?ftag=MCD-06-10aaa1f). Seems about right. This game seems like a side project from rockstar.... regardless of the graphical production value - the overall experience makes it seem like a side project. I guess when one visits a big city, and they see all the fuck-around behavior it really is just that: a fuck around place where nothing productive is getting done. think about it, they supposedly have these billions of dollars coming in, and with the over zealous hype about crunch and all that you'd think they're some powerhouse of productivity, but where's the good stuff?? what else did rockstar put out during this time??? where's the blockbuster game?? because rdr2 isn't it About the story, what's with all the coloreds in the game? the game is starting to look more like a modern LARP than an RPG or open world game with this modern portrayal of ethnic Americans and coloreds, especially the african black. There would be the domination of ethnica Americans over africans still portrayed here, and it's looking like a "we're all a happy melting pot of communist and marxist equality ".
