Sounds like you are talking about RDR2 as well.

You would know this how? From watching videos on youtube(from WhatCulture no less)? I've got the plat for Spider-Man and currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and you're simply wrong. Just like with The Witcher 3 the writing of the quests and how immersive the world is makes RDR 2 a lot better than other open world games on every level. RDR 2 does it better than any open world game I've played due how you can interact with every pedestrian, animal and so on. I'm not saying RDR 2 is perfect as no game is but it's better then Spider-Man on every level for sure.

And my point is you just described every generic open world game, and that is what RDR 2 is. Any time someone describes a competent open world game, they always use buzzwords like "immersive". Hell, at this point saying that an open world game is immersive should be the blueprint on saying your game has no real content. What I am saying is that Spiderman is more fun because you have the added element of super powers in an open world. At the end of the day I don't care if it takes me 5 minutes or 5 years to travel from one end of the map to the other, I just want to enjoy doing it. It is the same reason I have more fun playing Saint's Row vs. GTA even though I love both series to death.

Plus I know I will like RDR2, because I loved RDR. Once it comes out on PC I will gladly pick it up and probably put close to 200 hours into it like I have every Rockstar open world game. But am I going to kid myself into thinking that it is somehow superior because it is made by Rockstar despite doing the same thing that they have been doing for the last 15 years? No. I'll like it because it is open world and even bad open world games are good in my eyes.
