For a bit of a different take, I think that method (slow walking, paced moving) is exactly perfect for RDR2 because the whole point was that you were meant to be Arthur and live his story. If you wound up on this random island and started sprinting and hopping around everywhere it wouldn’t make any sense for his character. He’s in a new place, confused, and at least a little scared, he is gonna move slowly and take everything in while he gets his bearings. And while yes it could be put into a cutscene, then you’re completely disconnecting yourself from the immersion. RDR2 is meant to be a methodical story, with pacing to match. Youre not a super hero and you’re not a savior, you’re just a guy named Arthur Morgan. If you’re playing that game in the mentality of “c’mon hurry up go go go” you’re fighting against the design and style of the game itself.

Just started Phoenix Point today. Really itching for some fresh XCOM and I don’t want to play too much Xenonauts 2 before full release.
