One of my friends got it and she just won't stop saying how good it is and from the videos I've seen, it's really good and feels like the older Battlefield titles.
I have to disagree - RDR is far more diverse in terms of things to do in-game and also has a better story (somewhat). The only drawback for some people is the western setting which I find stupid because it's always been set in the old cowboy days.
He used to empathize more when games weren't just a huge money pit. He was really immersed but with the microtransactions - it annoys him to the point that he's not interested in the game. Therefore, he'd empathize less.
Well Battlefield 2042 has a lot of positive reviews from early players so that's a very good sign and I hope to soon be apart of that experience as well.
