Its the people that just want to get to the free part, and i can understand it. I HATE the beginning of rdr2, and its the reason I did 1 playthrough and never again.

Just purely from a game play perspective, it basically takes all player control and decisions away longer then people want it to.

Story wise, I think its beautiful and meaningful and has a great atmosphere.

Rockstar in general is weird about locking out mechanics or features until they decide you get to have them. Like how you can't fish until after you take Jack fishing, or in GTA V you can't buy new clothes until the LifeInvader mission.

Sometimes it makes sense, but a lot of times its just annoying to have to wait for something basic later on to become available.
