LOVED RDR1. Wanted to like RDR2 but… it just kind of really sucks to play?

The “cinematic” movement makes me feel like I am piloting a giant- no, actually an Atlas would control a lot better. I don’t know WHAT RDR2’s problem is but it just feels horrible to actually move around.

And the controls in general similarly feel… way more complicated than they should be? Feels like I have five context specific modes at any given time. Like, I play some fairly complex games and have a long love of HOTASes. But RDR2 is the only game where I was ever regularly afraid that I would hit the wrong button and even managed to punch a Stranger in the face once while trying to talk to them.

Will probably try again some time. But bopping that one rando and potentially losing out on a cool quest after like 2 hours of tutorial was just… no.
