My issue is less that it drags on and more that it's basically barely even gameplay. You're pressing a button for minutes on end, then letting go when they talk, then pressing again when they walk again. It's boring. For a game as cinematic as RDR2 you'd think they wouldn't be afraid to just make it a cutscene. If they wanted gameplay then at least let me walk around a bit.
Right but it's a story, it doesn't all have to be rootin tootin cowboy shooting, the storytelling is a major part of it. It helps the player really feel like theyre expercing Arthur. I get what you're saying, but they definitely purposefully chose these devices from a storytelling perspective.
Yes and I'm saying the made a bad decision, no matter how purposeful it is. I find your reasoning to be really flawed here. Just because they chose to tell the story that way doesn't mean I can't complain about it.
