When cycling over it though it says release L1 to use, so I definitely need to use it on locks or is it automatic?
Sorry this doesn't make sense to me. Can you explain more? Boxed in? It's one of the most open games I've ever played.
I tried killing the legendary bear and it killed and dragged me off. How long until it respawns again? When I resurrected he was nowhere to be found.
Also is it possible to fend him off with the knife? Do you press RT or another button?
I was struggling with the shooting mechanics in this until I switched to Free Aim. I am hoping I can defeat him this time. I just have the fully upgraded Springfield. I wonder if I need a more powerful gun?

Yeah, this chat is a great idea but not working properly.
My Arthur was chatting about all the animals he had killed needlessly (I hunted a bit but never killed anything that I did not skin or sell after).
This game is something else on Xbox one X judging by the images. Amazing!
Go there and look again. There is something you can "pick up".
Only works on foot. On horse either you do the claw or you're fucked and can't sprint, aim and shoot at the same time.
Best looking game ever in my humble opinion. The framerate is pretty solid too. I am amazed.
The missions are certainly linear but the world itself with its multitude of activities is just begging to be explored.
Between the pace of movement and controls as well as the massive amount of time it takes to get anywhere I never feel fully free in this game.
It feels like the choices you make in this game surface more in the role-playing parts, the little details. Pressing "greet" or "antagonise" or shaving your beard or playing poker. But when it comes to grander scale open world stuff I kind of feel suffocated by how this game feels.
I picked it up somewhere, don't remember though.
I do know that Javier gave me poison knives.
I think I'm part of the glitched out crowd. Should his missions be available during chapter 2?
You either wait for online to go live...or do post-game stuff if you have any. o:
I think all of them were main story missions so don't think you can miss them? I've done 2 in chapter 2 a 1 in chapter 3
Was this posted yet? Because if not, it deserves its own thread. Quite something that bugs like these still sneak in after having been developed for such a crazy long time.

So at one point I'm making friendly conversation with John Marston, and Arthur casually chides him that it must make him nervous being so close to the water. Excellent callback to the fact that even the smallest amount of water is enough to kill John in RDR 1.
I have yet to do or see a Micah mission and I'm pretty deep in chapter 2...
Do you need to find/catch that horse or is it part of a mission?
That's a glaring oversight. Needs to be patched ASAP.
Ah okay. Maybe that's the next Ducth mission. I have yet to do one with Dutch. Figured that would advance me and I keep wanting to just soak up the world.
Nah, it's only if you want the best horse statistically speaking.
Any tips on hunting?
So far I am:
-crouching everywhere
-looking through binoculars to track

Scopes are your friend. Make sure to look at their info to see the way to get a perfect kill (Rifle, repeater, bow, varmint rifle, different ammo types, etc). Stars indicate pelt quality (3-stars = pristine).
How do you best figure out where to go for a specific animal you need? I need some raven feathers, and I'm kinda resorting to killing a deer and rolling the die on what kind of predator bird shows up.
Apparently it's canon now that John can't swim. Or at least based on some mission banter anyway.
I'm in Chapter 4, and the last mission of Chapter 3 is by far the best, so atmospheric and the music is amazing, the game need more of this kind of mission, which made RDR so good,a lot of stupid boring missions,I really like this game,even with all flaws, but I'm 43% story completition and I'm tired, I can't wait to finish and move on.
The herd mission,Arthur jokes about John's unable to shepherd and swim.
There will be areas on your map that have animals drawn on them, like the first game, and that is a general area where they appear with some frequency.
Annoying that if I add a scope on a regular rifle I can toggle the scope on and off but with a sniper rifle I can't toggle normal view. Pain in the ass.
I would add: (1) use scout vision to track your own scent, or how the wind affects your scent, to position yourself relative to the target. (2) Once you have your target lined up, press Call to get your target to poke its head up. (3) Activate dead-eye to slow down time and highlight the critical areas. (4) Move your cursor over the hot-spot/critical area at the target's head. (5) Once you get a SINGLE X-mark on the head, inactivate dead-eye to fire.
These head shots, either with the Varmint-rifle for smaller animals and birds, or with the bow for larger animals, results in high quality pelts more often than not, for me.
Maybe I played the game wrong, but I never got jumped by bounty hunters. I only had them even attempt to come after me once
Then again, I nearly main-lined the story, so maybe you have to be just shuffling around the open world a while doing side quests before that happens.
After delivering the letter to Penelope Braithwait, I could see them on the map coming for me, but I had already hopped on a nearby boat to escape the mission area, so they never got close.
Rode my horse across a covered bridge, and when I was halfway across a horror movie sting played and three O'Driscolls popped up at the other side of the bridge and started shooting at me in an ambush. Clever bastards.
One spot of Dead Eye killed all three of 'em. Sorry, bros. You still suck.
Decided I would go and try to get the white arabian horse that people are talking about. Got there, took me 5 mins to spot it, I get about 10ft away from it and it high tails it away from me. Now, after spending another 30 mins trying to locate it again I have had zero luck. Looks like ill be sticking with my war horse for a little bit longer.
Just rolled the credits on the epilogue. Sad to see it end but also glad to have my social life back lmao
Your'e giving Sunhi a run for his money. So in that scenario, do they just keep filing in like GTA4? Or is there a break and you can make a run for it once you've cleared the initial posse.
Dealing with bounty hunters again.
Thanks, that's good info. The problem I'm having is finding animals lol. Like, I'll be in a mission and could slap an elk there's so many running around. But not when I'm hunting lol. I've been using bait as well but no real luck. I'll just keep at it, it's relaxing lol.
Wow I totally forgot about my scent. I'd go into scout vision and wonder why I'd see a wisp floating around me, but I now realize it's my scent in the wind! Pretty cool detail.
So an animal could be picking up my scent and running? I could use that scent remover to help, yes?
