Compared to Red Dead Redemption, the pacing feels a lot more repetitive after a dozen hours, the side quests just blur together. That said, the sheer volume of loot and the humor keep me coming back in a way RDR never really did for me. Both deserve their spot honestly.

Face à Red Dead Redemption il manque cette intensité narrative, c'est vrai, mais le plaisir de la boucle de jeu compense largement

Lo jugué con mi hermano en pantalla dividida durante meses, casi siempre después de cenar.

L'humour qui étire certains passages, c'est vrai, mais ça reste un détail face à tout ce qu'on lui doit dans le genre.
