I keep trying to get back into it but can't. Replaying RDR1 and I'm having way more fun.

Replaying RDR2 is such a fucking chore lol 

The lack of a useful fast travel really makes it last forever. 

I replayed RDR 1 like fucking crazy because it's not as huge and has a very reliable fast travel mechanic. Shocked they went so fucking far from that mechanic by having it only be possible from the caravan camp and nowhere else

You should be able to fast travel from setting up a campfire from your inventory if I'm not mistaken.

you definitely can, to most cities/towns, plus trains and wagons

Honestly never completed the game but I’ve always had fun just fucking around in the open world so I have got my money’s worth.

I have said it many times, but RDR1’s story is miles better. It focuses on a single character that explicitly wants something, and questions if redemption is possible. The others characters help and hinder that goal at different points in fun, often tense ways.

2 just has the whole cast reacting to things. There was an initial goal, but 90% of the game is things happening to them with very little agency in the story. Which is a fucking shame because the characters are compelling.
