each time you load rdr2 it drops you somewhere in the vicinity of where you last manual or auto-saved, caught in the middle of some action. sometimes it's sitting at a campfire, sometimes it's just chilling out on a street corner people-watching while taking a drag from a cigarette.
each of these moments are framed so well and so cool to soak in that i've started just hanging out for a bit when i load the game and taking a couple screenshots on my steam deck.
rockstar catches a ton of shit for a lot of reasons (rightly so) but rdr2 really is one of the coolest big budget games ever made. it knows what it wants to do and it goes for it with style.
