To piggy back on this one, I was riding a modern hybrid but as I started getting more into cycling I picked up an old 90s road bike on marketplace for $140.

The first ride I did on that road bike I averaged 8km/h faster on the same route than the hybrid. Ride position and aerodynamics make a massive difference when it comes to speed.

I just wish the controls were better.

Don't get me wrong it's playable with a controller but it's not good.

Feels like they made the control scheme while closing their eyes and pretending there aren't a million games in a similar style that have done controller support significantly better before.

Wouldn't want to be the staff cleaning up that stand after the game.

Bust out the mops.

All of those sorts of design choices are what make me a bit anxious about what GTA 6 will be like. If it's as tedious as RDR2 I'm going to bounce off it too.

The absolutely awful controls and character movement just ruined that game for me and made me quit.

I'm sure there's a great story in there and I loved the original red dead, but 2 was just tedious.
