People say i'm nuts for hating Red Dead Redemption. The setting and messing around doing cowboy things was cool at first but in the end all you're doing is shooting dots and following lines on the minimap. I hate how story characters just appear as a symbol on the map as opposed to getting introduced through connections like in GTA3, and then there's some handholding and restricted freedom in missions and what not. Sandbox, but not really a sandbox.
