Even when you set the camera to zoom all the way out in the menus you can still zoom out sometimes. I always zoom all the way out to get a better overview in VR. This is a problem when some of the levels drop pieces so quickly RIGHT from the start that I barely have a chance zooming out at all. That pisses me off a little bit.
And thirty seconds after I type this, Ben mentions it. THANK YOU, BEN.
Oh and let me CHOOSE one or more default songs for my own playlist that will play in order or shuffled no matter what level I play because I'm - not - a fan of some of the songs.
I just started chapter 3 and my perception of Marston hasn't changed at all. He feels like the same character to me. If something happens later I don't give a shit because it's a videogame and they're all digital made up characters I don't relate to. I have no feelings. This is Rockstar's story. It's not my story. My story is unfolding when I'm let loose into the big ass world doing whatever I want to. As soon as I ride back into camp it's all just a bunch of cutscenes I have to get through.
So I don't have to fucking mash X to run but am allowed to pan the camera freely as I'm sprinting! And yeah - I'm aware of "hold". Anyways, I'm not sure I want to keep playing with these super weighty and long animations and horrible controls in general. I played for an hour today and shut it off. It is clunky and slow and a fucking pain to control this character. It's like you're constantly wading in tar or mud. And for those on team "intentional and part of the game world" or whatever - fuuuck you. You don't spend two minutes trying to turn your character to face the right direction in a store to pick out a pack of cigarettes. Get the hell off of my lawn. I'm going to wait and see if they actually respond to this criticism with a WORKING patch of sorts. I'm not going to play it like this for a hundred hours.
I was expecting Red Dead 1 controls which were tolerable but in this game they're actually fucking worse. Jeff, your criticism is 100% valid and I will never doubt you again. (I will.)
