I just started the game on Sunday night, and have only a few hours in it. It has not yet pulled me in. I am very disappointed with the clearly terrible HDR implementation, at least on PS4 Pro. With that said, after hearing the complaints about slow movement and clunky controls, I think I had the bar set so low in my mind that the game has exceeded it in those areas. So, that's a good sign. Unfortunately, if a game doesn't pull me in within the first few play sessions, I generally don't finish it. So, we've got another day or two for it to grab me. I certainly hope it does. I was very much looking forward to the game, and I am holding out hope that it will turn out to be to my liking.

HDR only makes the picture look worse, best to turn it off. The game grabbed me as soon as I had the freedom to go explore. You need to push through to the first camp near Valentine to unlock freedom. Although you might want to do a few more missions to get some equipment.

Yeah, I turned it off.  But, I spent money to get a TV with decent HDR capabilities last fall.  A major AAA game (RDR may actually be more like a AAAA game, budget-wise) these days should be making good use of that tech, not requiring me to turn it off for the game to look good.  I think it's a pretty major screw up by Rockstar.
