And again, that's not what I was playing for, I didn't care about John's family. And again, you can easily still make a compelling case for why this bounty hunter gets so emotionally involved in a particular case, just look at the Mandolorian for example.

Literally didn't care about John's family, you don't even meet them until the end game iirc. What's fun is traveling around the country meeting interesting folk, getting involved in various local problems, and killing interesting, compelling villains. It's very easy to make a compelling story around a bounty hunter, it's why it's such a common profession for westerns and sci fi stories, or lone wanderer types of any genre.

>A life of bounty hunting wouldn’t make for a great game.

Fucking how? It's essentially what you were doing in Rdr1, chasing down the remnants of the Van Der Linde gang.

Yeah, being named after a bunch of stupid people who got killed for their stupidity is an insult.

Yes, that's the point they made. That operation was to stop Saddam from killing people for money, it was actually a justified war on America's end.
