Animations are extreme and can feel very clunky. Skinning an animal for example means you kneel down, take out your knife, cut into it for a while, drag the skin off, then stand up. Now imagine doing that a large number of times.

I didn't mind it, I almost consider RDR2 to be more of a cowboy simulator than a typical open world TPS game. Even stuff like looting bodies feels slow cause you lean down and feel around and get stuff, which could be annoying if you killed a bunch. Looting houses takes a long time too.

I don't care I enjoyed it all. It felt great.

To add to this, walking, riding, actions, all feel painfully slow compared to the first game. Its like they took a fun arcadey game and turned it into a simulator.

Plus, basically every mission starts with 20 or 30 minutes of riding and talking that you cant skip. This is OK in and of itself, but Rockstar gives medal rankings on missions, and if you do mission replay, you start with bare ones gear and stats and such so it will be much harder to get a Gold on replay than it is the first time you do the mission. Since theres an achievement / trophy for getting Gold on 70% of missions or so, if you want that, youre going to be reloading your save before missions and replaying those missions u til you get gold, which means youre going to have to suffer through that 20 or 30 minutes of unskippable riding and talking a lot. This by itself basically made the game a massive chore.
