Well, i finished the game yesterday.....what a LOOOOOOONG game. The game definitively take things to fruition in the second half of the game, despite the gameplay still being average. But i will say this, despite the story going literally nowhere, the characters of the story are the best written characters of any Rockstar game. They almost convinced me i was enjoying the game. I will add too that i don't understand the purpose of the final ending (the ending that gives you the actual credits sequence), i won't spoil anything, but i can't say right now if the actual ending was good or necessary or not, maybe the game shold have finished earlier....
In the end, a BIG and LONG game, full recreation of its world, memorable main characters (Dutch and Arthur in particular), beautiful cinematography, cool main missions (if you stick to the way Rockstar wants you to play it). But the game drags during chaps 4 and 5, the gameplay in itself is bad (i could not stand the gunplay until the end, with or without aim assist, the gunplay is bad, the cover system is bad, and the IA is horrible those stupid waves of enemies coming after you) and the pace can be really boring at many times during the game.
Thanks to Arthur i will remember this game fondly, because is the best written main character of any Rockstar game, even more than John Marston in the original (and I liked Marston a lot in that game) and because of Dutch (thanks to his portrayal in this game, it makes retroactively RDR 1 story a lot much better and emotional). All in all I will give this game, despite its shortcomings, a 8'5.
