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

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

If your horse runs into a tree, that's a you problem.

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.
