I have to say although I fully recognise its brilliance and attention to detail I’m finding it a bit tedious after several hours play.

You have to shave, eat , Bond with horse, sleep, change clothes , look after three health bars of your own the your horses ffs. Go shopping etc...oh and don’t eat too much or you’ll get fat and it will affect your health.

At one stage I was told to go get a bath and there was separate buttons for washing face, arms and legs. I was like wtf....

At the moment I’m wondering what I’m actually doing in the game.

I’ve read other people with similar views to mine and they do say actually that once you get passed a certain stage it opens up and becomes much better. I’m hoping I get there soon...

But yes I fully see why people are raving about it in many ways.

Maybe I’m too old for games like this now
