I've been playing since Friday afternoon, all weekend, still not reached chapter 3!. It's so easy to get side tracked, so much stuff to see, so many places to explore and I guess that's all in the extended tutorial area. Of course that time also includes plenty deaths and reloads cause of the clunky controls and random nonsense that tends to happen. Horse jumps over a fence into someone, instant murder charge, bounty, reload. Heck just accidentally knocking someone over in town gets you a death sentence.

Beware the game upset my wife when one of those random attacks happened and they shot my horse dead from under me. Plus be careful with the controller in town. Even though your weapons are stowed accidentally pushing the R2 button instantly fires a round right into the face of the person you are trying to talk to, Reload. Don't stand to close to a train either at a crossing, horses are fragile things and have no sense of self preservation. They need their brakes checked as well.

However despite the game play being hit and miss, leaning more towards the miss side, I can't stop playing. The world is so awesome, characters so well defined and brought to life that all the annoying game mechanics fade to the background.
