I did play and finish the main storyline of the game probably about 2 years ago. My xbox has been packed for about a year now due to a move, and building a new house.

I really did enjoy the horse riding aspects of the game. Very realistic compared to "horsey" games I played in the past. Unfortunately horsey games don't seem to be around much anymore.

I also enjoyed the horses in some of the earlier Assassins Creed games if you ever played any of those. I can't remember which ones for sure I played. That was clear back in high school when I still lived with my brother and he was super into Assassins Creed. We won't mention how long ago that was. Lol.

sorry to double post... The horse animations in RDR2 are totally better than others but it still feels like
1- the horses don't look like they have any weight or momentum to them. like their legs all move but i don't get the sensation that they are PUSHING off the ground. Maybe it's an uncanny valley situation for me. It's still not quite right.
2- the animations IMO look best on the Morgan/smaller model, and look a little off on the larger models. It's understandable that they probably designed one animation and scaled it up but don't look quite right to me

I'm ready for the next step up in horse games... RDR2 was a huge production though and I doubt anyone would put that kind of money toward developing a game completely focused on horses. maybe once i get rich I'll have one custom made lol

I remember a buckskin colored horse that you couldn't purchase until late the in game in one of the more expensive cities. I remember that one as being my preferred mount for the remainder of the game. You get strangely attached to the little buggers even though they are not real!

If you decide to play again this pretty girl is apparently the best wild horse. Saves some of those precious dollars and she's super quick after a few level ups! Just bugs me that they say she is white and not gray :))

Also I accidentally stole a really pretty tobiano early on and ended up having to pay a bounty for her, but totally worth it =))

I'd be up for a H&J group trail ride on Red Dead Online just sayin!

Online is a whole new world :) Rockstar let it die sadly so we that played from beta have done all the things, but as a new player you'll be set for a long time with new to you content. It's a huge sandbox to play in too so trail rides can definitely be an option! I'm on PS4 with it I guess that would be the biggest issue, no cross platforms.

I'm surprised Rockstar hasn't stuck with the online platform for RDR2. It seemed like they were promoting it hard.
