I was blown away by how far consoles have come and really enjoyed the movie like quality of RDR2's story throughout. I played a grand total of 0 side quests (white question marks, or grey dots) and powered through the main story only. Absolutely fantastic game and I feel a lot of the criticism here doesn't hold up. Is it perfect? No. Is it a fantastic effort by a talented team? Definitely.

Started with Asheron's Call way back when, by the time college hit I was taking blocks off (one class, three-and-a-half weeks) to play Asheron's Call 2 and other MMO's (Dark Age of Camelot, Shadowbane, etc). Usually 14-15 hour sessions for weeks, at times eating nothing but oatmeal cream pies and drinking brisk ice tea out of my dorm room mini-fridge. Always chasing a rush of being first at something, discovering a new area, or just competing in true player-vs-player Worlds with consequences and guild families. I started dating a girl who eventually took me out of this cycle of new games and graduated college with no issues.
