I loved the beginning too. To many people have ADHD and are use to fast pace games like call of duty and fortnite. Red Deads pacing is wayyyy different.
Yeah I already finished the game, it wasn't that bad at all. I was more focused on the story. However, just take a break from missions, I did missions for 4 days non-stop.
There is 6 chapters and 2 epilogues, and I already finished the game. How am I defending the mechanics when I literally just said the criminal system is sensitive? 🤷♀️
You don't give the horse items from your satchel, you hold L1 or LB, and then you hit R1 or RB and chose the horse, and there you can feed or give the horse the medicine or food to gain stamina.
You can get rid of bounties by paying them off so they don't come and try to kill you when your in areas you shouldn't be. Just pay off the bounty and try to stay away from main cities and killing people. This should allow you to peacefully hunt.
