Lol, whether you want to admit it or not, RDR2 has a bad controller setup.

not really. It works pretty well once you learn it, like most games.

God forbid you have to get used to controls.

Having modal controls where the same button does opposite actions with consequential outcomes (aim a gun at someone in a threatening way/talk to them like a normal person) is a bad design, even if people can get used to it.

all you have to do is make sure your weapon isn't drawn and you won't aim at someone.

They've done this in previous online games. They have some weird online shooter philosophy where they want you to practice jockeying for cover and position more than aiming but they're never that good at setting that up either so it always ends up somewhere weird in the middle.

This is a non-issue, the user is the problem not the game.

Blackout owns so much and I'm extremely bad at it. Haven't won a game. average like .75 kills per game or something.

But just the feeling of ruining someone elses dream of winnig, usually in very dumb or funny fashion, is very addicting.

So far, in every battle royale game I have ever played I have managed to achieve precisely zero kills.

I have also got one victory.

I suck at multiplayer games, so for me I just stopped caring about winning, and instead focused on trying to survive for as long as possible. In Fortnite I can almost always make it into the top 5 remaining players, and i've won a few times.

Yeah Im extremely good at cowarding my way into the top ten or whatever in blackout but I've been trying to get used to fighting so I can maybe someday actually capitalize on it.

All my experience is with PUBG so apologies if this doesn't translate to Fortnite or Blackout, but usually the first step to becoming an actually good player is learning to not worry about death and become an early game hard charger. Unless you're extremely lucky you're not getting gear good enough for the end game from looting alone and you will need to kill people and take their poo poo.

AC:Odyssey has this that I don’t remember Origins having. I was trying to talk to a quest giver with Y but my character was pointed slightly off and I ended up assassinating his bodyguard right in front of him.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is $10 for Xbox Live Gold members. This game was okay because of the fan service storyline, and multiplayer let you play against bots.

Yeah I've almost done that so many times but somehow never quite, it's a strange choice to put the general interact action and the very lethal instant kill action on the same button.

Authentic social anxiety simulator.

"Come on, you can do this. Just go and say hi. No big deal, people do it every day. Here goes...'hi-'" person you're attempting to talk to dies violently, everyone in proximity starts screaming, police start rushing in "DAMMIT NOT AGAIN"

This happened to me once when I signed up to do a conquest battle. I wanted to speak to the Spartan general but ended up murking the guard right next to him with Y, which caused the entire war camp to start attacking me. I chained them all the way across the battlefield to the Athenian camp where they all murdered each other, then ran back to the other side and claimed victory for Sparta. In summary, the Pelopennesian Wars were a chaotic time in Ancient Greece. Many sides, many sides.
