AC’s horse looks better, but RDR2 horses feel and act more like real horses. Giving it to RDR2

R* had a whole department working on the horses for years. It took lots of work and time to get right. They really wanted them to feel like an animal with its own inertial physics and wanted to portray some of the different ways horses can behave. The different techniques you'd learn when bonding with the horse and the whole confidence system was quite cool.

Aside from the constant running into trees because of the auto steering, I'd say this is pretty spot on.

Haven't had that happen myself, even when trying lol. But I hear it's common enough.

It's never been "constant". You'd do better choosing a different word.
