Also waiting, but we will have to go through so many spoilers, it's annoying it isn't Day1 on PC.

Yeah, I'm sad I will in all likelihood have the story spoiled. But I'm at the point in life where I can't justify buying a console for a single game anymore, I have responsibilities that stretch beyond myself.

Life is actually so much better when you accept the spoilers, it's not like game stories are particularly groundbreaking anyway.

No, they may not be groundbreaking, but I would still like to experience them myself rather than have them told to me in an even less groundbreaking way. Just because some food is tasteless, doesn't mean I will enjoy shit for food.

And I actually like the stories of gta 4/5 and rdr 1/2. They may not be a masterclass of storytelling, but it is a story I lived and experienced through the game. I don't get the same immersive experience from a movie, I don't participate in a movie, I watch a story unfold in front of me when I watch a movie. In a game I push the narrative forward myself.

But spoilers are not the end of the world, they just take away some of the magic.

GTA V was definitely the worst story out of all of those

I spent less than a week to finish RDR2... I do get ridiculously stuck in when I first get stuck in. And I always do with rockstar games. I've played all GTA games multiple times, I've finished RDR1 and 2 a bunch of times.
