:Online: Red Dead Redemption 2

No it really takes that many, big reason to play as a group as you can all shoot and then all take the sample.

You'll hear a ding/bell/chime when it's had enough and then it'll stumble and fall near by, there's no real reason to revive the animal after the fact it doesn't give you much and costs too much.

Don't buy the pamphlet to make the sedative bullets, I did but it's not cost effective. It cost me about 580 to make 17 bullets compared to buying 200 for 7.

You have to track firs, then study, then shoot. You can't study when it's sedated or dead. In single player you could use a posion arrow to knock it out and then study it but not sure here. The legendary animals re spawn but I've no idea what the timer is as it's so new.

Edit: also there's a dark red cross that appear as opposed to the lighter red cross, when you see the dark red one stop shooting the animal has bee hit enough.

Is anyone else still experiencing the bug where madame nazar is never spawned?

I like the collector role other than this.

Had wagon issues, but never had nazar not spawn.

You should only sell full collections and not individual items (unless you full on that item) but you can post them to her.

Winter update today, expanded bounty hunter stuff.

Bit lacklustre overall but after 2 odd years you can now paint your wagon.

I saw Red Dead Online went standalone yesterday and could be purchased separate to the base game. Had it in my head it was a fiver but checked there and it's 20. Jesus, that's a bit of a ripoff. CEX sell the base game for 20 which will come with Online as well.

Anyway, haven't logged in in ages, have a ton of gold but the last Outlaw pass looked crap and I had no interest in photographing/hunting animals, I just want to be a fecking cowboy robbing banks.

With my current games and Cyberpunk next week, will be the new year before I get back to this but feels like most of their love is going into GTA Online.

I'm gonna use oil based paint because the wood is pine.

Nah, lead based paint, so the prisoners can lick it and die before I get them to jail . Epstein would have loved it ............. or helped to love it :pac:

If you get that version does anyone know if you get anything with it, like enough fold for one of the roles? Probably highly doubtful but might be more tempted if there was

Lead paint - delicious but deadly.

Blood Money is out and it's a big ball of meh. Went to Saont Denis, met new character Guido who explained the story and he takes off. Then 4 strangers who already offer free roam missions now have blood money missions. All low honour fun stuff as i usually keep to high honour, coach robberies, kidnap, etc. During each mission, you can loot Capitale from chests or bodies, seems random and rare. Once you have enough Capitale, you can choose a Blood Money Opportunity from the stranger. Each offers the same one, Covington Emerald, with new ones being added in coming weeks.

This was a mission where you have to steal an emerald from a train with a few different ways to do it. Listen to conversations to get hints on how to do it but basically i jumped on the train, started blasting, jumped off and escaped, nothing too exciting and i got .10 gold and 60 dollars. Absolutely not worth it.

You can pay more Capitale for higher difficulties and better rewards but i couldn't be bothered.

On top of that, they have the new quick draw club, new one each month, that offers rewards from previous passes. All fairly shyte as well.

I played a god bit the last 2 days and didn't come across one other player in my sessions, bit weird but welcome.

Anybody else have really bad problems with the lightening in this? I’ve tried HDR both on and off and both don’t seem the best. The game is more colourful with HDR off but the darks are way too dark then.

Managed to finish the new season pass very quickly, it's only 25 levels costs 25 gold and you get the full 25 gold back again this time, didn't really have to do much other than a few missions and sell a bit of moonshine and got it.

Very early on it it has Dutch's outfit as an unlock.

I'm about half way through it without even trying, handy to get through but my issue now is the new content isn't holding my attention and I'd rather play other games. Don't think I'll bother with the next couple of passes if there isn't much interesting stuff added. Halloween one looks fun though.

I created a cow gal when i first for this, level 47 but I'd like to switch to a male cowboy now but looks like I'll carry over my money and gold but lose all my rankings so feck that.

Also, i finally made 1000 in cash (i don't bother with grinding) and don't really spend money as everything is too expensive but i had a discount on pamphlets so splashed out 700 quid on the ability to fast travel from camp. Bought it and then realised it's actually fast travel from wilderness camp which you have to buy separately for something like 700. Made me rage quit as i built up that money for so long and for nothing.

Turned on GTA Online, did the cayo heist, bought a new house & garage, clothes and tattoos in preparation for the new dlc next week and had infinitely more fun doing that.

Why can't they just add properties to this that you have to build up, upgrade, grow ingredients, stables for horses, etc. The map is so big, there's so much opportunity to expand the cowboy life, it's strange it hasn't been done yet.

As someone who has just started playing this properly in last few weeks what would be the best roles to start with? did the collector one first,was thinking maybe bounty hunter? or is there much of a difference between them?

yeah was thinking maybe the bounty hunter would be the most fun, will give that a go next!

Anyone got a Samsung TU7000 and have any recommended tv settings? I’ve tried messing around with the HDR and standard settings but no matter what I’m having issues. If it’s not colours looking washed out to shadows being too dark. It’s doing my head in because I really wanna get into the online.

Am I missing something here ? is this not the RDR thread . What has TV's got to do with it ?

The HDR in RD isn't really bad it's just the calibration tool really **** you over if you're TV is sub 1000 nits, and if the colour gamut isn't wide using the paper white settings mess that up more.

Try 500-600 for the brightness on the manual setting and then maybe 90-100 on the paper white.

I think that makes the peak brightness a tinny bit higher but lag is more than just for competitive games, games feel off if there's too much of a delay.

Managed to get to level 25 in 2 moderate play sessions, and then finished wave 10 a few times in the new call to arms horde mode.

Some bad glitches for the call to arms mode, enemies not spawning and then suddenly spawning behind you or when trying to restart a mission it just kicks you out. I played a game yesterday where it kick the team out but then in the normal open world the mission started.

BTW, does anyone know the quickest way to make good money going solo?

Was great to go back out on a wagon again. As for the game, I am really enjoying it now. Waved to a few players I met while out on my travels.

Been playing this for the past few days. Got my bounty hunter license so I'm catching bold folk and bringing them to the Sheriff's Office or the prison wagon.

Took part in a few free roam events too, both involved fishing. Very relaxing.

I went out for a trip in the wagon above yesterday. Started from Rhodes and proceeded onto Armadillo and then Tumble Weed. It was cold and windy on my trip so I had to go into the back of the wagon to take some shelter.

I had a camp setup east of of Armadillo so I stopped for some food and rest before getting back on the wagon.

As my wagon rolled into Armadillo, I was met with a -12 degree C temperature, ice cold winds and snow. Took a bit of a stroll of a around a once busy but now a sad town.

My wagon rolled into Tumbleweed, last stop on my trip where I was met with a slightly warmer temp of -11 C temperature.

Usually you would see other players in those towns, but I was the only around.
