The first thing that came to my mind was Red Dead Redemption. I have no idea why people like this game so much, might be because non of my friends got the game and the multiplayer is full of idiots who don't know how to shoot or large groups of friends bullying anyone else in their server.
I didn't like the story either. [SPOILER!!!!!]You travel 1 and a half country around finding the ones who betrayed you at one point in your life because the government will harm you if you don't. You've just put that past behind and you were about to settle into this new life when the starting FBI come knocking at your door and steal your family away from you. You risk your life in many engagements to bring your former gang members to justice and for payment you recieve 3 days of joy with your family and then the FBI finishes the gang forever by killing you.
After you've bonded and felt enraged with the FBI to end that bond permanently you then find out that you have to play as his douchebag son, you can take revenge by taking out the leader of the FBI mission and then you can live out the rest of your "life".[SPOILER!!!!!] This "life" consists of doing missions for random strangers, shooting the ocasional cougar, collecting some flowers and trading it all for guns and ammunition. Whoopdefreaking doo this game sounds fun... but after two hours of that you've really seen it all. The graphics were the only thing that made me enjoy the short ride, although I still believe Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood had a better western feel.
Not to mention the features that either weren't in the game or were put in with some kind of lame and tedious version. Such as robbing a train, shoot one of the 4 passengers sitting in the ±10 wagons while riding a horse and the entire train just stopped. Then you could kill whoever was still in there and loot their corpses, thats it. That's not robbing a train western style, that's just lame.
There's alot more that bothers me about the game but these are the headlines I guess...
