The other night I sat down to play Red Dead Redemption 2. It was around 9:30 at night, which is typically when I start gaming. I put the disc in with great anticipation, ready to start riding across the wild west with my band of outlaw buddies. I fire it up…and am greeted with an update screen. That takes three hours to download. (To be fair, it was not the screen pictured above). Two days later when I sat down to play it again, the fire was gone. I played for a few hours and put it down. I’m now playing the remastered version of The Last of Us, which took me 15 minutes to download. Sometimes these games are too big for their own damn good. I’m sure I’ll revisit Red Dead 2, but first I have to get Ellie safely across the country with only a handful of bullets.
