Izzy...I love you bruh. I buy every Bandai Namco game. I ain't touching them Dark/Demon Souls borne things. I tried Bloodborne. I just can't. I tried Demon's way back. I ain't doing it. Nope. I refuse. They are too much...
Love you too brother. But ya gotta do you!

I was dabbling with RDR2 a little more the past couple of nights or so just to have something to play until Friday. For some reason, I just have the hardest time wrapping my head around the controls in that game. Everything just feels "clunky" to me - I fumble with the controls when trying to do almost anything. Not sure if it's me or the game or what. Then last night I was walking around the first town you're in and just messing with the antagonize button. I insulted 3 different people, then it pops up that I'm wanted for "disturbing the peace". Huh? I'm sorry, but I don't want to live in a world where it's illegal to tell someone they're a moron.
No, I agree that the controls are far from intuitive. I'm about 80 hours in and I still screw up sometimes. I was riding through Van Horn last night and an npc interaction popped up and I meant to greet/interact with him, but I accidentally pulled out my pistol and shot him, lol. Whoops!
But they've become far more comfortable with time though. They could really use a redesign imho, but you get used to it.
I had a really weird experience last night too. I found this absolutely gorgeous pure white Arabian horse in the mountains, and I *had* to have it. (I really loved my horse who I've bonded with over many hours, another brown Arabian with black mane I named "Spirit".) Anyway, I lassoed this beauty and brought her to a stable and I switched over my saddle because I wanted to ride her and create a bond. I named her "Mystic" and we went out riding. That first evening with Mystic, I had gotten off to explore on foot a little and was going to set up a camp. She was only a short distance away, and I got a message that she was badly injured and needed assistance or she would die. So I looked at her icon on the map, and went to the icon, but Mystic was not there...spooky. I tried whistling for her, and looked *everywhere* around that area, but she was not to be found. Finally I got the message that she had died. So now, I was a distance from where she was supposed to be, and I got the message that I could retrieve my saddle. I went to where that icon was and there was no saddle - not anywhere. So I think what happened is that Mystic appeared only to lead me back to my "Spirit" companion.
I eventually made my way back to a stable and my saddle with all my gear was available to put back on Spirit. I guess I am destined to be with my Spirit partner, so I won't fight it.

It definitely plays clunky, heavy and sluggish which was one of my complaints with it. Another one of my complaints was with how easily that you become wanted in towns, if you look at someone the wrong way you become wanted and the law is on you instantly. I also disliked how if you shot someone in self defense you were wanted for murder. The wanted system is too sensitive, and unrealistic. The game overall failed to really click with me in general, and I found it to be a little disappointing compared to the first game. I liked it enough to finish it, but that was about it.
Yeah press or hold are seemingly arbitrary oftentimes and have no necessary reason to be one over the other. Lining yourself up to pick up items can be finicky. It surely has some things I would change, but in the grand scheme of things, the world and the cowboy fantasy are just so incredible that most of the gripes are so small, relatively speaking - for me anyway. I've played about 80 hours and last night when I checked I'm only 30% done with the story. I don't know how long I'll play, but it will probably be quite a long time.
