One of the things I really loved about Red Dead Redemption was the spontaneous little narrative things in the world. I was in Mexico and there was a lady out hanging up wet clothes. Someone said something about a storm coming. Then a couple minutes later the wind started blowing and it got cloudy. Then it started to thunder and rain. Rain actually accumulated (really a good simulation of it) into puddles and all the foliage blew in the wind.

When I saw the trailer to this I was so excited for an entire new game based purely around that kind of stuff. Then came the disappointment.
