Let’s start a bar fight, shall we?

Rdr2 has so many odd controls that I literally don't know what the melee is by default and had to look it up again when I got into another fist fight section. The narrative is basically the only thing convincing me to play. The mechanics are starting to get real repetitive and the game is insanely slow for what it is. It seems like a well done game but I wish the animations and forced pacing took a backseat to give the player more agency. I feel like I'm parts they wanted to make a cutscene but some executive said "no no we need now interaction otherwise it's not a video game."
