RDR2 was legitimately fantastic, unbelievably good story telling in single player, astounding graphics imo.

But, it also has (had?) an online component, and dear god what a shit show. monestized as fuck, full of bling'd out cowboys and cowgirls, broken network mechanics and hackers everywhere... and they basically just abandoned it because GTA V online was way more profitable.

You can have a good time in an online game, but basically, you have to find a rather rare and niche game that has somewhere between a small to tiny community, that is actually both politr and has a good sense of fun.

Back in the day, you could find that with some clans for some games, but most of that devolved into toxic bs and petty power struggles.

perhaps ironically, many of the simulation level military/flight type games, some tactical shooters... basically stuff that by default has an older audience on average, thats usually gonna have at least a better chance of having a non toxic community.

but, on the other hand, if you just don't care for multiplayer games, i totally get that, most game players online are literally idiot racist children, lol.
