Is the Western the Most Under-Realized Genre in Video Gaming, Ever?

What, only like 3 developers ever thought a gun-slingin’ old-style western was a good idea? Really? After playing some Red Dead Redemption and practically cutting my fingers off during the morbidly dangerous game of Five-Finger Fillet, I realized I had
