Finished the epilogue, and I really liked it. The story is more straightforward and focused than the main story, and I actually think I liked it better.
I’m currently 15 minutes into the end credits, and wondering if they’ll ever end or if I shall spend the rest of my days watching the RDR2 end credits. Looking forward to the epilogue to the epilogue tho, if I ever get there!
edit: ok, epilogue 2 started. Once again I am disappointed that I don't get to play as Sadie (or Charles for that matter). I want John to settle down and be the family man he promised Abigail, if only for a short while, and with me in control that seems unlikely to happen!
I'm guessing one of the biggest reasons John is still the PC is so R* won't have to recreate Mexico again. Any other character would just be able to swim there!

I decided to continue my adventures online.

Get into the online mode, y'all! As usual you'll want to reserve an hour or so for character customization and tutorial/story stuff at the start. Don't worry about spoilers if you haven't finished the main game tho, as far as I can tell this is a completely different story with all new characters.

I'll definitely check out the online mode once I've finished the story; I've started chapter 6, but there are quite a few side missions, so it'll take me a while before I get to the epilogues, I'd wager.

I found the online mode an amusing diversion with my friend for a while (where the two of us completed missions and attempted to murder each other randomly as two of the ugliest swamp hillbillies ever when everyone else was dressed nice) but kind of lacking in the flexibility of the campaign sandbox.
Fun if you can make your own fun, I suppose.

SAW THAT FILM CRIT HULK WROTE PIECE.
IMMEDIATELY CLICKED THROUGH.
DISAPPOINTED ENTIRE ARTICLE ISN'T IN CAPS.

HULK DROPPED THE CAPS YEARS AGO LIKE A BAD HABIT
THAT ONLY RETURNS IN COMMENTS ABOUT IT

I have something of a love-hate relationship with FCH and his writing. I've downright loved many of his articles, even the annoyingly all-caps ones, but over the last year or two I've often felt that he'd fallen in love with his own prose, stretching out each of his points to three to four times the length they needed. I don't mind a certain degree of longwindedness (I'd be a hypocrite if I did), and I definitely don't think that analysis needs to be terse, but I definitely began to think "Get on with it" way more often than I used to.
How spoilery is the article? I'm currently in chapter 6 of RDR2, and while I'd like to read the article while the game is fresh in my mind, I wouldn't want to be spoiled too much.

Almost exhaustively, lol.

The first half of it isn't that spoiler-y unless you mean it spoils the different kinds of gameplay mechanics through the game. I skipped over the bits that talk about story, but a lot of the article isn't about the story per se, but the design and execution of it within the gameworld. It does casually drop words about the writers' intended conclusions and story arcs in the story-focused sections, so be wary of those, yeah.
