This isn’t a complain about the game, neither a compliment.
It’s something personal I guess, not related to anything else, but myself, I think I just need to vent.
Maybe the game romanticize way too much the life in the year around 1900 and the thing is I just love the life how they portrait it. The game is extremely immersive and it’s hitting me hard.
Everything is so simple, there’s so much respect between people, they live camping with a simple life, everybody trying to help to survive as they can, singing at the end of nights, having profound and philosophical talking. It’s such a more human focused life.
Seeing a simple life like that and comparing to the modern world makes me feel sad. Today we have cars, cities, buildings, very few vegetation, a lot of pollution, everybody is so fixed on being clean, good looking, companies rule the world, people accepting being modern slaves in exchange of a little comfort and convenience. It’s truly a disappointment to me.
I’d exchange 20-30 years living in a world like RDR2 shows than 70-80 years in the modern world. That’s right, I’d rather die trying to hunt for food and learning how to survive in the woods than a massive boring life doing the exact same thing every single day in front of a computer.
I wish it was easy to make part of one. Don’t even know where to begin. I personally never saw it, just read about it. Not to mention it depends the country you live on.
Life demands efforts. It’s not like downloading and pressing play.
Its interesting that you find it hard to seek out the lifestyle that you want when that lifestyle will actually require a lot more effort just to survive
It isn’t easy and they are few and far between. And yes, it is very location dependent.
I’m sorry you seem to be getting misunderstood here. It’s hard in modern society to find a community that is worth a damn.
Yeah could be slim pickings near you. Do you do any as a hobby? Theres lots of campers i watch who live off grid on weekends yet still have normal jobs during the week (gotta pay the bills somehow). Ive only gone as far as growing my own food in the garden, but gotta admit, eating something ive gone to the effort of growing, caring for and harvesting is a level of self satisfaction that hits pretty hard
