My horse died because I ran at full speed into a staircase by accident. Launched me about 20 feet.

So far I'm loving this game.

I've done this 20 times and still don't get it, the game even gave me a skip checkpoint prompt.

The game is not registering a full R2 trigger pull for unknown reasons, I have to hold R2 and mash all the face buttons to draw my weapon. Or you can switch to alternate controls.

Hopefully they fix it but I'm not holding my breath.

Oh interesting. Automatic is done with the right bumper too right? Gonna try it out in a second lol

automatic is just putting the cursor over enemies, it will mark those enemies automatically.

when you have Dead Eye at a higher level it becomes marking with the right bumper, after that you push the trigger to shoot all marked enemies. its more or less like Max Payne´s bullet time and really fun to use.

at an even higher level you can see vital organs like the brain or the heart through Dead Eye to get more lethal shots in

Don't try to get your free gun from snakebyte guy if the gunsmith has closed for the day, he'll be there, he'll offer, but you won't be able to get it.

Does Arthur look fatter if you over eat?
According to Reddit, this is as fat as he can get.

anybody here with progression phobia?

I am just dragging my foot around , avoiding going to the yellow spots because I don't want this game to END.
I am just roaming around the world, doing the side quests

GAme of the generation for me.
At first. I just make sure to clear all the white markers of the map before progressing with the yellow story missions. I'm currently on chapter 6 and don't feel like I've really missed anything major.

that is what you recommend? I am trying to do that as well, clear the white spots (like bounty, gunslingers) before moving on.

I need to do the The First Shall be Last mission to advance the story but I am wanted dead or alive in blackwater. I get gunned down soon as I enter. Need to pay off this bounty but don't have the funds. Any tips on how to raise cash quickly?

You can also have another horse follow you, I have a spare horse that comes with me when I'm hunting that can carry pelts and small animals too.

I wouldn't risk going into the mountains with him, but I stay pretty close to camp and get smaller animals and Deers/bucks etc

30 hours into the game and i still learn new things. Thanks for the tip.

The hunting is much more complex than i expected. I like it, but if you want to get upgrades and the best costumes from the trapper faster, well good luck.
They could have easily released separate game ''Rockstar presents: Wild West Hunting Simiulator'' lol.

We should see him leaving the bath.
My Arthur barely eats, but if that is indeed true, i would have him eat more.
I grew fond of my old Arthur bear. I usually don't like beards, but with the proper mustache and classy clothes it fits him well.
My only regret is that his physique is not round enough for my liking, but what you posted makes me think that's just because i starved my little fellow :'(
I am cruel.
My horse is perfect though, tall and big. I tried an Arabian stallion and it felt like i was riding a pony... i love my Sugar Plum... even though i hate horses. Quite an achievement for Rockstar.

It's what has worked for me, although I've still probably missed quite a few things. Another thing I've noticed as well is the big story progressing moments tend to be Dutch missions (not always,) so keep that in mind.

has anyone done that Gold Glitch thing?
should i open the chest then save the game or while i'm bending to open the chest?

I tried a few times, spent 30 minutes on it, and it didn't work on my PS4. I followed 2 guides (the one posted here and another on video). I would always only retrieve only 2 gold bars.
I let it go, i didn't need the money, the game gave me plenty enough in trinkets and other valuables to resell at fences. (i did the gold chase for the 2 $500 gold bars). Gold bars only fetched $300 when i tried the glitch in chapter 4, and i have pristine reputation.. do the fences pay less when you are a "good" guy ? xD

Isn't that good? The + means it makes the drain rate slower.

As opposed to things like being dirty or w/e that are - drain rate.


It is kinda confusing in how it is presented.
It boosts speed and acceleration but I'm not sure if it's at the expense of core health draining faster. I assume it is

okay... I can either play the game right now on a PS4 Slim and a 720p display...or I can wait a few weeks or maybe even months and play it on a PS4 Pro and a 4k display.

opinions?

So the game finally clicked for me yesterday, took me about halfway through Chapter 2 for everything to settle in. I'm still struggling with combat quite a bit but with practice I think I'll be ok... I've never actually had such a hard time adjusting to shooting in a game before and I've been gaming damn near my whole life.

Either way... once you stop trying to play RDR2 like a GTA game, Call of Duty, or Fortnite game and slow the hell down, it's actually quite an amazing experience. The world here is beautiful and it deserves to be taken in slowly and methodically.

This is why I think it's amazing. Try and consider this. I think the gameplay is amazing. I'm not giving it a pass, I'm saying I personally think the game is absolutely incredible. You don't think it's one of the best this gen, drop it once you are done and feel that way. it's fine.

What I'm trying to say is, having a company drop the biggest budget game of the generation and make it how they want, and creating a marmite game gives me faith in the industry. this isn't some focus tested by younger kids game that wants action every second, it's Rockstars game. It's incredible imo. You can think I'm crazy for thinking the gameplay is absolutely top tier but what i consider gameplay is making me feel apart of a world, playing moment to moment. no other game has done that to this level.


I understand what Rockstar tried to do here. Don't get me wrong. They wanted to create the most immersive gaming experience ever. And - in a way - they achieve to do so. And props to them. Again I'm very happy that you enjoyed so much, and so many others to.

However - in my humble opinion - by being so immersive Rockstar forget the gameplay in the process. And I'm one the many gamers who simply cannot enjoy a game if the gameplay is not right...

Rockstar could have at least given the option. Do I need to see the animation of a body EACH time I loot it ? That makes no sense. Yes it's more realistic I guess, because in real life, you would indeed need to search a body one by one the same way. But this is a GAME that tries - to a fault - pretending it's more than a game. And actually by doing so, the game contradicts itself by adding things that are NOT realistic at all : following tracks with "Eagle Eye Vision" or slowing down time with "Dead Eye" when shooting. Where is the realism in that ? So Rockstar can't have it both ways, your horse die if it's too cold, but you have auto aiming ? Come on now...

But as I said earlier. I'm invested in the story a lot, so that's why I keep playing. Even if I still dream the game had better controls. Because if it was the case, this could have potentially been the Best Game of all time...

Sorry if I've missed this but is there anywhere I can find out how long I've played?

I've looked through the stats and progress screens and couldn't see it.

At the beginning of the game I wasn't paying much attention to Arthur's health and became underweight to the point he walked kinda limpy. I've been eating 4/5 times a day for above a month now and while not limpy anymore I'm still underweight, any advice on how to get to a fit level?
