Red Dead Redemption 2 is depressing as all get out

What has impressed me the most about RDR2 - as someone who not only hasn’t played it but has no interest, is how effectively the advertising has been targeted this time around.

Ok, tell me more…

@scottchilcote

I don’t watch television. I block most of the intrusive advertising online, and somewhat less effectively on my smartphone. But just about every blog I read has had one or more RDR2 “stories” every day or two for over a week. Every news feed I read on my phone has these “stories”. I’ve skipped every one until now, I guess that’s a testament to how much I enjoy BB. But now that I’ve read about it, my decision to avoid it seems apropos.

Ah, so pretty badly targeted then?
