It’s kind of fitting since it follows the events of RDR2. There were a lot of people who had never played RDR, so they will get to experience it for the first time as the story is meant to be told, chronologically speaking.
I imagine a good handful of people will be disappointed by some of the outdated mechanics that were improved in RDR2. Hopefully people understand that this game came out 8 years before RDR2 and had massive differences.
One still annoying thing about this release is that according to the Steam page it "Requires 3rd-Party Account: Rockstar Games". For a single-player game that's always a nuisance since there's no multiplayer content in this release.
This really sucks and makes zero sense. GTA V has it too, so not too much of a surprise considering how scummy every “AAA” game company is becoming.
