GTA was great, to a point. I suppose it's because of the fact that everything was too much like what we see nowadays. Crime infested cities, hoodlums in the ghetto, and car chases. I would always find myself getting about 1/3 of the way through, then setting the controller down finding myself bored beyond belief. Well Red Dead has changed my entire perspective of sandbox style games, and my entire perception of Rockstar as a whole. Not only does the western genre feel like something rarely experienced in video games, but the simplicity and openness just sits right with this one. It never gets too out of hand, boring, repetitive or even too similar to everything else out there. I found myself wanting to open each and every new area to find out more about the surroundings, and the things living within them. I also found myself wanting to level up as often as I could. Gaining new weapons, clothing and experience. This is rare, and the fact I made it to 87%, while also beating the main story is a good sign that this one was indeed a big winner in my book.
