Finally finished the main story last night (not including the Epilogue). As expected, one of the best narratives I've ever experienced. I wound up liking this journey better than the first one, as we really got to experience Arthur as a dirtbag where in the first one John was basically a reformed man. I kept the honor meter high and I'm glad I did as I don't think this story would've made much sense otherwise.
However, I don't how this game was so universally prasied with near 10/10's across the board. This game lacks heavily in one area and that is gameplay. The controls are straight up shyt and this had some of the worst gunplay I've experienced for a AAA game this gen. I really don't think any other company would've got away with having such clunky controls for an 80 hour game. Not to mention, no fast travel so you spend hours and hours just riding your horse through emptiness. A lot of these flaws were present in the first game but they didn't improve anything in 7 years. How did no review mention that?
