Oh god, that’s not a good connection to make at all. RDR2 is, purely in my opinion of course, at least ten times the game FFXV is.
FFXV has terrible missions that are like the worst ones from the past twenty years of MMOs, bad combat and annoying cloying Japanese tropes plastered all over the place.
RDR2 has an insanely detailed world with comparatively deep systems backing up the simulation. Outside of the main, scripted story missions, there’s no end to the emergent gameplay options available to the player.
This piece is a bit of a downer on the game, and I can understand where Jason’s coming from, but it really deserves to be regarded alongside Witcher 3.
Don’t confuse the story being depressing with the game being bad.
