Just a general discussion to dust off the sub

The game is nearing 5 years now, and 13 years for it's predecessor RDR1. Yet the community is one of the largest and thriving and continues to grow everyday. It has been a consistent top seller in Steam since the start of this year. Despite the fact that Rockstar games has mostly abandoned it.

There's something about Red Dead Redemption which keeps the fanbase continuously interested and talking about this game.

So considering all of this, what is it about this series that keeps you playing? And if you're to the series, what are you enjoying/not enjoying about it so far?

 

This cutscene is the only time RDR 2 had one of these enigmatic Strange Man encounters like in the first game. There's a lot to unpack here, and I've already drafted an absurd amount of detail linking the Arthurian Mythos with Red Dead Redemption. It seems very apparent that the writers intentionally based Arthur Morgan on the Knight Percival and how this revelation links to the Van der Linde gang.

And as I work to put all these pieces together I'm going to write it up. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this and how it elucidates the broader narrative of Red Dead Redemption
