Gaming Fact: RDR2 was predicted to FAIL, and Arthur Morgan was called boring — such statements were made by fans before the game's release

At that time, producer Leslie Benzies left Rockstar. Against this backdrop, players said that without him the studio would "lose its magic." Arthur was called a "tasteless character" and a "mistake after John Marston". It was expected that the game would not reach the level of previous titles.

But, as we know, it became one of the most successful games of the decade and was awarded the title of "masterpiece". And Arthur, in turn, is considered almost the best character in history.
