To me right now is the first Red Dead Redemption. Finally I'm able to play it, I've wait for over a decade. No spoilers, zero youtube gameplay videos, zero questions about the game to my friends. It gotta be me, and the game, it happened, and I think it sucks.

Maybe you thinking in "well, you shouldn't play the second first". I did not. My first Red Dead game was Red Dead Revolver, I was able to play it a few years ago when I could buy a PS2, but I couldn't get a PS3 nor a Xbox 360 to play RDR1. It grinded my gears because we got the prequel in PC. When RDR1 came to PC it was so freaking expensive, yet today, I think it is expensive. I was able to buy the game some weeks ago while there was a Steam Sale, and well, I regreat it now.

I don't like its exploration, its missions, its characters, its world, its secondary missions. its wanted system, and nothing but less important: has a lot of bugs.

That's my experience in a few words.

What's the game that you wanted to play but it was a total mess?

Monster Hunter(World & Rise). I have played over 1k hours of Dark Souls 1&2 and my mate has 5k+ hours in the MH series. I gave it multiple tries but I can't get into the combat mechanics. It feels too slow, while being pretty complex. And then there's also quite some cutscenes, which is something that quickly turns my dumb brain off. :(

The hardest part for some people is getting through the story because MH games are notorious for "story? There's a story here?" They try, but it's never really that engaging. Definitely don't try Wilds if you don't like story stuff because that game they actually tried to push the story front an center. I really enjoyed it though, but I just love all Monster Hunter games lol

After the story (basically a long tutorial) it's all just hunt hunt hunt hunt, there are no more cutscenes to worry about. If you can power through the story, or just chip away at it a little at a time, you might enjoy it more.

As for the combat, maybe you haven't found the right weapon. Dual blades are really fast, the insect glaive is fairly fast and you can dart around in the air, sword and shield can be decently quick as well.
