according to the % seen when i save the game, 1/5th done and i'm still riding the horse 90 miles while having to sit there tapping A over and over and over and over. AC Odyssey's use of the horse was so much better. Select a waypoint, horse follows the road automatically. Set and forget if you know where you want to go. If you want to explore, you arent trotting at 1mph and you can just hold the sprint button down.
"so much to do".. such as? hunting to unlock gear that is only cosmetic? the only thing i see to do is story missions and i'm 20% done after like 10 hours, where the majority of that is horse riding and slow walking in camp
they have legendary animals.. that you can use the pelts to unlock ugly ass outfits.. is that the only use? random strangers can give "honor".. which i've yet to see a real effect of this as i can't get beyond neutral honor, but can go down constantly.
i haven't gotten this far but i saw a clip where you sit there and watch nails being driven into boards.. for like 5 mins.. get real.. am i playing a game to entertain or a chore simulator
