This isn’t a complain about the game, neither a compliment.

It’s something personal I guess, not related to anything else, but myself, I think I just need to vent.

Maybe the game romanticize way too much the life in the year around 1900 and the thing is I just love the life how they portrait it. The game is extremely immersive and it’s hitting me hard.

Everything is so simple, there’s so much respect between people, they live camping with a simple life, everybody trying to help to survive as they can, singing at the end of nights, having profound and philosophical talking. It’s such a more human focused life.

Seeing a simple life like that and comparing to the modern world makes me feel sad. Today we have cars, cities, buildings, very few vegetation, a lot of pollution, everybody is so fixed on being clean, good looking, companies rule the world, people accepting being modern slaves in exchange of a little comfort and convenience. It’s truly a disappointment to me.

I’d exchange 20-30 years living in a world like RDR2 shows than 70-80 years in the modern world. That’s right, I’d rather die trying to hunt for food and learning how to survive in the woods than a massive boring life doing the exact same thing every single day in front of a computer.

    Are you friends with your neighbours? I’d start there. Kith is valuable.

    Have you been diagnosed for depression? There may be less extreme options than sacrificing 40 entire years of life to live outside of the city.

    Whatever you decide to do, I’m glad this game is getting a big reaction from you. Even if it’s rare, I hope you look forward to the next game that feels this special in the future
