Again, the only thing that impressed me about RDR was the geography, and if I just wanted to look at scenery, I'd play Journey.

I repeat: Rockstar is low mediocre at best when it comes to almost everything else other than setting. They're good at that, I'll give them that much.

The irony then of your username lol.  But I digress.

I thought the pacing and themeing of the game was fantastic.  It nailed the old west pretty perfectly and the side missions and activites were very enjoyable (Duels, Poker, Hunting).  The world felt alive with the wild animals that would attack you randomly, as well as the random encounters with strangers.  It also had a great soundtrack.   


It's a play on my real name, which is why I picked it. I didn't like the actual game. Oh, well.

Like I said, it did nail down setting pretty well, and that's something that they've always done right. In terms of actual game mechanics, it was also a Rockstar game: clunky combat, thumb-breaking controls, and missions that just weren't all that interesting. I want Rockstar to stay far, far away from Zelda.
