I tried hard to get into RDR2, but got bored a few hours after the posse set up camp... I needed the game to give me a little more direction on story I think

I am giving it another chance actually, i played it before for a few hours on release but never really go into it but i am finding it more entertaining at the moment.

Age of Wonders 4, just had a free weekend trial. Impressed enough to buy it.

nice, I've heard that it picks up the pace again, but I'm finding it too "open world"... maybe I need to do another concerted effort, but there are too many other games vying (sp?) for my time

It's a very slow burn, I must've pushed through the 1st 6 or 8 hours before I got fully invested in finishing the game, I remember at the time of release, all my friends stopped playing it 2-4 hours in.

Also I hated the changes from RDR for aiming on console, PC players don't have that issue if they use KB+M

That's interesting, I'm using a XBox360 controller on PC, and find aiming while on horseback a right PITA, and figured I was just too old for this type of thing now.
Maybe I'll try keyboard/mouse combo next time I give it a go.

I've been in this exact situation twice now with RDR2 - get to the camp then lose interest.

However, I've really found the steamdeck has reignited my focus & enjoyment for games (that and quitting the booze..) so plan to pick up RDR2 on the SD after my current game.

Some of our old clan members (dates back to the COD2 days) still game together occasionally, we went off the COD series when it got took over by kids and hacking on a huge scale.
We started playing the new free 'Delta Force' and have really enjoyed it - worth a punt for anybody not tried, when it is released anytime soon.
