I'd agree with the advice that the end of chapter 2 is a good jumping off point if you're not enjoying it.
Maybe it's because I don't have the time I used to (have since procreated…) but I'm just over the gameplay loop. Ride, follow, cut scene, shooting gallery over and over. To be fair I never bothered with the hunting, side missions, etc….so maybe that's where it all comes together.
Frustrating because as everyone says the game is gorgeous and a marvel to behold. And I always thought I was on the cusp of "getting it" but I never found myself itching to play it.
I'm sure I'll relent and give it another go but for now it's out of rotation. For this price, sure give it a try.

you dont need to pay for anything else, just download epic games and rockstar, both are free (i personally use a controller as well, so that would be 10-15$)
Overall, I really enjoyed it. The epilogue was a little meh for me, however. I'm glad that the pace of the epilogue was fairly brisk. My Steam library is FULL of games that I got to 40 hours in and lost interest. And that's perfectly fine by me as that feels like good value in most cases given how slow I play games. I put something north of 100 hours into this by the time I hit the epilogue, but I thought I had played maybe 40 hours at the point that I checked playtime and saw I'd sunk 100 in. I was just running around hunting and leading the New Yorker back to Strawberry like 15 times. I didn't understand that I was going to progress most of the entire game within the map, so I explored the whole map and all of the cities well before I advanced the story. I might have had 40 hours in before I finished chapter 2. So... money was never an issue for me. I think I'd bought every gun, fully upgraded camp, and lots of customization and still had $6-15k most of the time. The crafting for camp feels a little strange/clunky... I did very little of that.
It's worth playing... I'd argue that it's still worth $60 if it clicks for you. Somehow managed to be repetitive without feeling repetitive. I could see playing through it again someday. I'm a sucker for single player games.
