I'm like the opposite kind of rdr2 hater, I loved all the boring shit but the unfocused story and the shooting gallery gameplay ruined it.

The ideal cowboy game would lean into the simmy stuff, stylized graphics instead of realism, have you drive some cattle across the landscape with a character-driven story, have quiet chats with them during the night watch. And now since we are commercially unviable anyway, make it take place in like the Eurasian steppe or anywhere else that is not a settler fantasy. Also, make the cowboys gay. Thanks.

I must be a weird kind of defender because i love all the boring shit, and while i like the story i have critiscism of it and i think theres plenty of room for it.

I do agree that the gun play was by far the least intetesting part, and getting into so many massive gunfights is really at odds with the best part of the game - the "boring" cowboy sim stuff that feels grounded and is such a joy. Making coffee at your campsite, going fishing, grooming your horse. Finally skinnning enough snakes to get that beautiful saddle.
