All rockstar games are super detailed for their time. And you gotta remember RDR2 came out in October of 2018. People are still comparing modern video games to a game that is 7 or so years old.
It's most likely going to be incredible. I love that they take their time with the games, so every new game ACTUALLY feels new and incorporates new things.
It very much isn't, especially when it comes to it's horses which regularly run straight into trees. It's a remarkable simulation with the same GTA formula and narrative structure that GTA 3 had on the PS2
Yup, it's actually the opposite of wanting to run into trees. They have AI to turn away from trees but fighting it with your control stick will make the horse hard to control.
Right. The movement of the player and horse feels like it has weight. It’s much more immersive than riding your horse into a tree and the horse continuing to run in place like it’s on a treadmill.
The horse does not listen exactly to controller input. Your steering is tied to the horse's steering programming, and sometimes it will go against what you're doing, forcing you into the obstacle because you tried to go right and the horse tried to go left. It will also often not jump when you tell it to for just whatever the fuck reason.
Edit: y'all are telling me you've never witnessed the horse ever do anything but what you commanded it to? I've crashed straight up before, and I've also had the horse change direction to hit a tree before. It's not 100% user error.
Sounds like a you issue tbh. Only time I ever run into a tree in that game is when I’m not fully paying attention. Or if I’m falling off it’s my fault bc I saw the ledge and jumped it anyway. The horse physics are mint in that game, it just Sounds like you don’t know how to ride a horse.
Brother they avoid the trees. The more bond you have with them the more control you have over them. If you're hitting trees it's your fault. I've never ran into something that wasn't entirely my fault
Is kinda weird why rdr2 is held as this oh so magnificent piece of art that nobody is allowed to criticise. I see it all the time on the Internet, it's turned into almost a cult.
You’re allowed to criticize it, but it’s literally the most revolutionary game that has EVER came out and no game has been able to replicate it even tho its been 7 years since release
I mean you're just wrong due to bias or lack of trying. If it really was that bad I'd be inclined to agree but if you have 2 hands and a brain you shouldn't be hitting trees lmao.

RDR2 has some of the best mechanics in any video game, its almost perfect.
