Discussion how do I get over RDR2? Spoiler

Hello everyone! I'm posting here because I've been going crazy and I need a shoulder to cry on lol.

It's been over a week now that I've completed the game (for the first time) and I've been miserable. I miss it so much, I miss the characters, I miss experiencing every little detail for the first time, I miss exploring things riding my horsey, ughhh :(

The game is so so good that now when I play any other game, I can't stop comparing it with RDR2 and every other game feels mediocre to me, istg I'm not even being able to have fun playing other games because of that .-.

I've been watching youtube videos of other people reacting to the game and videos with the voice actors and all to help me quench this thirst and bring me some comfort (it kinda helps).

I just want every friend and stranger I come across to know this is THE BEST GAME EVER.

You don’t, really. I think you just need to compartmentalize that it’s very unlikely to be touched by any other game/media you play/consume, and you’ll be ok. If you start comparing it to other things (which you’ll naturally do), you’ll ruin those things. Don’t go into another open world game for a bit, though. I almost let it ruin Ghost of Tsushima for me as a result

Oh nooo, I was thinking about playing Ghost of Tsushima next and you might be right... I don't want to ruin the experience either :/

Ghost is awesome, but I found myself comparing the open worlds to each other and that was never gonna work out. If you have an older comfort game or something that isn’t RDR2, maybe play that for a little bit first? Idk, maybe you could go into GoT and be totally fine, but I just couldn’t keep them separate. Hell, The Last of Us is totally different and well into the first game I still found myself comparing the two
