Apparently, not having GTA in the title excuses it for having less content than GTA4. You can hunt animals, catch wanted crimnals, and.... nothing. That's it for the extras. You ride horses instead of vehicles that perform differently. You can't swim. You can't ride boats except one on a mission. Everyone gave all this flack about GTA4 having less to do than San Andreas even though there's still a lot to do, then they praise Red Dead Redemption when it's got next to nothing in comparison. |
Yeah, mission variety is probably my biggest problem with it. It feels like every single mission is just killing a bunch of random dudes. Yeah, they throw some sort of story around them, but despite the story variety, theres is very little gameplay variety.
Additionally, the sandbox just isn't fun to play around in. While you can hunt animals and catch criminals, neither of those things serve much of a purpose (money isn't exactly hard to come by) and more importantly, neither are fun. The random crimes are also boring and lacking in diversity too.
Finally, I haven't been able to find any reason to use any gun other than the Repeaters (and whatever else goes in that weapon slot). The shotguns do pretty much the same amount of damage but have no range, yet 99% of the fighting is done at mid range. The sniper rifle works, but when I can easily pull of headshots with my repeater from a good distance, why bother?
