Been taking my sweet ass time in this game just enjoying it. I usually play 2-3 hrs every other night or so but i'm still only on chapter 4.

Good because once you finish the story it kinda feels like there's nothing to do. I don't even see any bounties left for me to do. Do more bounties ever pop up? I don't really care to find the collectibles or do the challenges. Maybe I'll get around to hunting the rest of the legendary animals I need.

That's my worry, which is why i've been in no rush. And for me, once the story is completed i feel no incentive to do any of the minor side content such as bounty hunting or even hunting. So get my fill in now, take my time and enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah, my son is way into this and played some for me on Thanksgiving

He'd beaten the game, and now just went around on absolutely ridiculous killing sprees that would put William Munny to shame... old men, women, animals were all fair game, I told him to seek help immediately and all he could do is laugh

From what I can tell, no one fights back worth a DAMN in a gunfight... they dont know how to take cover hand cant shoot worth a shit

Here's a link to an article that, I think, points out the biggest flaw of the game:

In the first RDR you could do all the boring BS at the beginning of the game and, basically, be superman throughout the rest of the story mode. In RDR2 you can't upgrade your cores to their full ability until after you've finish the game.
I don't have that many hours invested yet, but I find myself having to shoot enemies in the head 3 or more times before they die and take a bunch of vagina tonics to not be killed. Also, for some reason they really don't communicate how the cores work unless you dig deep into the menu.
I seem to be avoiding moving forward in the story until I can upgrade Arthur to replicate the kind of bad ass I want to play as but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible.

I'm not much of a story guy. Is there plenty to do in free roam or do you have to grind through story mode to unlock more things in the game?

Nah. That’s both inaccurate (you can kill with headshots from pretty much any gun) and contrary to the evolving story of the game.

That guy isn't actually shooting people in the head. You can one shot people with a .22 caliber rifle, and the cores have nothing to do with that.

From the very beginning I shoot somebody in the eyeball and they die.

There are plenty of random events and other things to do in free roam, (hunting, robbing, killing, etc..), although, I'd imagine the random events would repeat over time.
The world doesn't open up until the start of Chapter 2 so you'd have to slog through some story at the beginning. And at Chapter 2 you only have half of the map to play in. As far as I understand, you need to be close to finishing the story to open up the other half.

I'm only an hour or two in...but I did the gold glitch and now I'm forced to hold onto 30 bars of gold because I haven't opened up the places I can sell it at.

****.

I think it's like the end/middle of chapter 2. Won't take you long.

Article is correct, though, in the sense that challenges are largely stupid and pointless.

Tomahawk kill from 80’? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Well, let me have a rule and a saw and a board and I'll cut it.
