RE: I will not ever "git gud" at videogames again
the one thing I remember that frustrated me at the start of RDR2 was the lack of fast travel initially. There is this one scene where you go and get ourtrageously drunk at the saloon with your friend and get into a fight. The cut-scene is actually brilliant but then you wake up on the side of the road and you have no choice but to walk all the way back to your camp. I suppose that was intentional on their part to let you know how vast this area was and how you need to stick with your horse or face consequences, but I nearly quit at that point. Plus those long stretches of leaving your horse on autopilot because fast travel wasn't available.
I get that they were going for a creative thing here but I didn't like it.
I really didn't make it that far in the game. Just as far as needing to do something to the railroads in the main story. Then, as we have discussed a bunch already, I stopped playing for a while and returned and didn't know how to do anything other than walk. :)
I never finished that Atari Jaguar game, no. Since I never knew the mouse commands I had nothing to complain about. Other PC games that appear on consoles, such as any RTS game like Age of Empires, Starcraft and what not, are just horrible on any console though, no matter how much they try to make it user friendly on any console.
I've somehow managed to avoid this part of the game! But I know what you're saying. When I loaded it up after a while, I wandered out of the camp without my horse... slow in quite the understatement!
wandering for a bit can be fun, especially if you are hunting and gathering deer skins for some sort of collectible, but overall it is simply a bunch of walking. There was a time that my horse died and I was currently carrying a prisoner and had to walk him all the way back to town... jesus that took ages.
