Time sink really does sum up this game quite nicely. Everything seemed to be pretty pointless. I mean it's very awkward game design seeing how you frequently have to spend two minutes riding across the map one way to kill some people, which takes one to two minutes, then ride all the way back? So it's like a 2:1 traveling to killing ratio.
I know that certain sections you can skip ahead, but come on, it's just redundant to constantly be traveling vast distances and listening to people lecture you on the way.
There was also no back story about what he actually did prior to this, why his posse left him, how they left him for dead (what context), how he survived, how long after his son was born that they broke up, how the government found him, and so on. There's just so much that they alluded to in order to add depth to the character, that just left me scratching my head.
After the second act the game just felt like a joke. The entire ending act could've been reduced by 90% and still left the same impression, that, or it could've been condensed into one cutscene + one battle.
The game had its moments, but you can only do the same task so many times before it loses its luster. The game lost its luster for me about half way through.
