I loved the first RDR and am about 9-10 hours into the second one. I am really curious about what people think of RDR II given how much games seem to have changed since RDR came out. The pacing of RDR II is very much in line with RDR. That pacing is considerably slower than a lot of recent releases. This isn't exactly sprinting around the world like one would in an Assassin's Creed. RDR II seems slow by comparison. Whether it is trotting slowly from place to place or hearing more about the game world in extended conversations, I'm not quite sure about how players receive that pace in 2018.

That being said, the slower pace has really grown on me. It's taken some time, but I appreciate the way the game forces me to slow down. There is a beauty in the attention to detail and the craftsmanship that has gone into creating such an incredible world. I just wonder if the 2018 player will have the patience to work through the first 6+ hours to get used to the way the game plays.
