WARNING ABOUT THIS GAME


Be careful buying this game or any other Rockstar games if you have purchased a Rockstar game on steam before. I picked this up and was very excited to play it, but when attempting to open it I received a message that my steam account was already linked to a rockstar account that is linked to an old email address of mine and that i needed to get a code they were emailing me in order to open the game - apparently, because I purchased a Rockstar game 13 years ago and made an Rockstar account then my steam account was already linked to a pre-existing Rockstar account with an old email address. And unfortunately this old email address was hacked and shut down and I can't access it. This seems like it should be an easy fix right? Steam should just be able to unlink this old Rockstar account, right? WRONG - steam says they can't (or more accurately) wont unlink your old Rockstar account and that you, the customer, have to deal with Rockstar games and beg them to de-link the old rockstar account from steam. Okay, so, still, this shouldnt be so hard to fix, right? Since you have your steam ID, the name of the old email address, proof of purchase, and screenshots of everything + gobs of other proof that you are who you say you are and just want to play a game that you legally purchased, you should be able to submit a request to Rockstar games and in a reasonable amount of time they should be able to just hit a few buttons on a keyboard fix your steam account running, right? WRONG - after submitting countless requests and emails and complaints and photos they say they've investigated and there's no evidence that you own your steam account.

Frankly this is lazy, ♥♥♥♥ customer service. On top of that, there is literrally no reason to ever have a Rockstar Game account, no one would ever open one if it wasn't forced on you by this company. Rockstar has some great games, but theres no point if you cant even open them on steam. Im not too happy with Steam either - if youre going to sell games, take some responsibility for helping your customers be able to actually access them.

This is, without a doubt, one of the all-time greatest story-driven games I have ever laid my hands on. I've played a bunch of them and let me tell you that this one will take you on a ride that you wouldn't want to miss.

It starts slowly, which may put off some people, but it quickly picks up after the snowy region. The map is huge, full of secrets and treasures. There are over 200 species of animals combined. The weapon variety is also impressive. There are many mini-games to choose from. Every character in the camp is complex enough to make you care and sympathize with them. Some side missions can feel like the main storyline at several points. The world scenery and game mechanics are just incredible. All of this is amazing and already over the top for a game, but the primary protagonist you control takes the cake.

Arthur Morgan is one of the best-written characters in all RPGs. He is a deeply flawed man who made some pretty rough decisions in his life. Since he is a teen, who takes an example from his outlaw father, to the time when he is found by the gang, he goes against the newly emerging societal norms in the Wild West. But most of all, he always believes in Dutch and the gang. He does everything for them - he lives, he murders, he robs. And when this is put to the ultimate test, against the clock, his true redemption begins. You will find that behind this immaculately strong personality, there is a scared man. Of what he is, of what he will become. After this point, you will begin to realize what I'm talking about and why Arthur is so loved by the entire community. He is not perfect, no one is. But he tries his best.

Take your time to experience this game. Once you finish it, there won't be a second playthrough like the first.

Truly a game of a lifetime.
