After some 60 hours, RDR2 is clearly starting to fall behind BotW. While BotW got better with expanded inventory alleviating the issues with fragile weapons, RDR2's game mechanics only get more annoying as time goes on. Saying you need to get used to the controls doesn't hold up anymore after 60 hours of playing. RDR2's mission design is stuck in the past while BotW tried something new while bringing the interactivity in an open world games to new heights. RDR2's biggest achievement is its weather system.

BotW had one annoying, do exactly as intended or fail mission, sneaking into a hideout. In RDR2 almost every story mission is like that. The world is amazing to explore, yet 97 for a game where playing the actual missions feels like a chore to unlock more fun content is rather perplexing. Gameplay is not that important apparently.

Without the story missions RDR2 is an excellent game with an amazing world to explore. It doesn't come close to BotW though.

what you just said basically sums up my thoughts on the story missions. also, I get supremely annoyed having to be positioned at specific angles to pick up items clearly in my reach  but the world is so amazing I just explore and go hunting living in the wild
