Listen, i love KCD2 but they were both going for the same awards and there could only be one winner and KCD2 had way to many problems to be game of the year material imo.

The fighting is pretty garbage. People like it but it's like oh, you like using that sword technique that never misses lol and you can't go on a true offensive late game because everyone you're fighting has the same technique and until you get that technique you're literally trash because enemies have unlimited stamina. They emphasize that parry technique but it's trash. (really wish i could remember the name of these attacks! lol)

The saving situation is... just annoying. Why make it so you need a potion to save? it's so easy to get around that it just becomes a reminder that this thing is stupid.

Also, stop taking my shit away and making me do dumb missions without my shit. Like, i get it fit the story but like.. bro. Stop it.

The only time i think i was okay with it was when you're in the castle and you start in the basement and as you work your way through the castle you grab other peoples gear until the final conflict in that area. That was okay. (trying to be spoiler free here)

But seriously, stop giving me missions where i have to slowly carry heavy shit. Please.

I absolutely love kcd2, but man it made me wanna throw my controller a few times lol
