    Other people in Armadillo say that a plague has hit the town, hence why everywhere is shut and everyone is leaving. So the place is just nothing, really. Only really in the game as a throwback to the first one.
    While I was strolling through Armadillo, there was a fella mentioning cholera (I think he might have been ringing a bell) and said I shouldn't hang around the place and to move on. It's a depressing dive of a place now :(

    I'm currently playing the first game and Armadillo is a busy enough little town. I own a room upstairs in the saloon there.

    Went to see what was added or done in 1.05 update.

    Went online and reading the changelog, and there was some great stuff and got excited, and then got to the end and see undead nightmare. It was RD1 1.05 I was reading.

    I randomly came across some O'Driscolls robbing a train. I took care of them and then realised that everyone on the train was dead. I decided to go on a bit of joyride on the train. It was going great until my horse, who was following alongside, got squeezed between some rocks and the train... And got killed :(

    I had one of mine killed following a train too. He fell off a trestle and I couldn't get down there quick enough to revive him.

    Always make sure to tell the horse to stay before going on a train joyride.

    I'm glad to get off that damn
    island.

    I do not read the spoilers in this thread or even websites online about the game but I'm starting to think there
    is a rat
    in the gang.

    Seems like they
    get set up too often
    .

    Had a 1.3gb update (xbox) yesterday, and have another one today? Is that right, seems im doubling down and losing valuable game time :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,370 ✭✭✭TheAnalyst_


    Online only update. When are they going to fix the rubbish HDR?

    Probably when the DLC comes out for the single player mode :D

    Yup. Chapter 6 is a slog. A boring pan in the arse. Most of it just riding on horseback from one end of the map to the other.



    You can use the stage coach?

    I started reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy (might have mention the book here before) for the 2nd time the other night as I injured my right thumb and gaming is not going for happen for a few weeks I think. It's been about 10 years since my first read. If anyone is a red dead fan I highly recommend it. Wish R* had a Judge character in RDR2 but really that would have had to have been a game made 20 years ago as I fear would have any film adaptation of the book. No way it would be faithful to the source these days , they couldn't get away with there is a point to the violence, which there really is. It's not in easy read either in places with the punctuation or lack of and there's a point to that too, and it really works.

    Re-read it a few months ago, fantastic book. Hard going at times, but very hard to put down.

    Incredible author. Ending shocked me to to core because of how it was written in the context of the book as a whole. Child of God is worth a read too but the film not so much. I'm sure many have seen the road, that is a book worth reading too by the same author.

    Great spoiler tags....


  • Posts: 5,135 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Great spoiler tags....

    ? Posting on mobile and they are working for me. Everything is blacked out.
    Deleted the post to be sure. Apologies if the tags did not work, they did as far as I could see.

    Not if you have a huge bounty and no money. Some of the missions require riding beside someone talking shít anyway and there isn't a town near to get on and off via stagecoach in a lot of them. Why they didn't have a "skip journey" button ins beyond me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Thatnastyboy


    Think I am about 2/3 the way through Chapter 6 now:

    It's fecking heartbreaking, Strauss' victims, the veteran (hunting missions), Arthurs health, Rains fall etc, the only happy moment so far has been watching Colm dangle.

    In weapons:
    Loving the repeating shotgun & litchfield repeater :D


    Some game, it's one of the best pieces of media I've had the pleasure of enjoying, really don't want it to end.

    There's a section in the wardrobe for stolen hats, you can add it to your outfit from there when changing outfits.

    Yeah I noticed that but they never save for me, a bug maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Thatnastyboy

    I think that's only for certain hats, I picked one up randomly because it was flashing at me and got a notification that I had found a special hat, it now resides in the stolen hat section... Its a gaucho hat from a fella who used to drive a stagecoach

    Ok that would explain it! Bit stupid how you can't take any hat though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭Nerdlingr


    there's one bounty, cant remember who...
    think it might be pikes basin with sadie
    ..where he comments on the hat the guy is wearing. think that is one of the special/pick up hats you can get.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,307 ✭✭✭The Phantom Pain


    So jumped in last night and noticed 2 updates... Is it me or does it seem like the gunplay is easier/ smoother and the horses are faster now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    WTB Fast Travel back to Camp... horrendous hauling animals back to it, it's so fecking tedious!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,771 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    It would be awesome if you could 'holler' for a delivery dude to bring your pelts back to camp, for a fee of course. It really takes away from the hunting if you can technically only hunt 1 big animal at a time.

    In freeroam, has anyone been looking into the different mysteries and such?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭recyclops


    I thought it was never gonna end, it really became quite tedious near the end. I know what rockstar were trying to do but by the end of it I was glad to turn it off😕

    Yep.
    Ive played more hours now as John than Arthur. Bang the cheats on and go rambling.

    Chapter 5 is one of the most misguided things I’ve ever seen in a huge game. Just so badly done.

    I've only started Chapter 3. Really enjoying it...I can understand how people have been getting fed up with the constant long treks but I suppose when you only play the game on a Friday and Saturday night the novelty doesn't wear off as quickly.
