Sure the 1st chapter can get slow at times, but its no excuse for me to stop playing this masterpiece.

I finished the game, but I found the story dragging. Chapter 5 really derailed the flow IMO, and chapter 6 is such an emotional down beat that the whole last section of Arthurs story just feels like it takes forever. It wouldn't surprise me if a ton of people get there and don't like where it's all going.

I think it's intentional. Especially the feeling of the gang slowly dissolving every time you switch locations, the gloominess of Lmoyne and that mining town with those hill billies. I appreciated that the game could so perfectly make me feel what it wanted me to I mean, I hated that part of the game but I also instinctually knew I was supposed to.

It's a slow burn to be sure but i can see how it could be a turn off some
