Its when the kids come in asking to play Minecraft or whatever and your first thought is thinking of buying a second console, that you know you have a problem!

I loaded it yesterday with the plan to do the next story mission as I haven't done one for ages, but instead ended up tracking a legendary animal, then I accidentally (really!) killing some dude and in trying to cover it up ended up killing a witness, then another one, then a stage coach, so killed the driver and then had to chase the passenger, meaning the driver was discover so had to chase that witness! and before I knew it I was on the run with a bounty on my head!

But tonight I am going to do that story mission!

if you find and tame a horse and then saddle it up, what will happen your previous horse? will it be gone forever or back in the sable?

gimli2112 · 13-11-2018 1:03pm

I bought the two of them back to the stable and was able to select either of them. I now have four stalls and four horses though so not sure what happens if I get another horse.

Anyone get mugged by guys down an alley in Saint Denis at night? Guy told me he has an opportunity for some quick cash and told me to follow him down the alley. I knew it was a set-up but I fancied going down there to kill him and any others and loot them but a quick cutscene plays where you get clocked in the head by a gun from behind and wake up in the graveyard with 20% of your cash gone.

Avoid.

I had that happen me, I commented on it here but spoilered it so you may not have seen it. I googled and Reddit said they'd be back at the same time, but I waited and waited for yer man to come back and he never did. 700 bucks I lost

I'm still sick over it, even though I've the game finished and all. It's somewhat disconcerting how a game like this can affect your mood the way it does! :pac:

I'm lassoing him and taking him out to the bayou to introduce him to the wildlife next I see him.

You could hogtie him, then setup a campfire and drop him on it.

Two or three hours? I could spent way more than that, and in the end achieve nothing of note at all!

Its when you run into an ambush or whatever and get killed and want to reload a saved game that you see the last save was 4 hours ago and you hadn't even noticed.

I need some sleep at this stage.

As a side note I think the percentage of people who actually completed RDR1 is like 15-20%

I expect this one to be lower again

I completed it, twice as it was so good.

I actually found RDR1 better than this as I like the expereince of being in the wild west, but this one is a bit too much like wild west sim.

It is still an excellent game mind you,

citytillidie · 13-11-2018 3:39pm

Almost time to restart it and do everything rather than rush through the story ignoring side events and strangers

ERG89 · 13-11-2018 3:48pm

Red Dead 1 for me was much more enjoyable to play. I'm 38% into this and I struggle to remember many of the missions. A lot of it gets lost in the long journeys between the action and the iffy controls(which have a huge but I imagine intentional input delay to add weight) It's a remarkable achievement but I'm not sure it deserved the unanimously praised reviews; it reminds me so much of GTA IV in that sense.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 13-11-2018 5:10pm

Personally I love the slow pace of it. Getting up in the morning and heading out on my horse to kill, rob and maim.

Then coming back to camp in the evening to abuse Dutch and that ol sonabitch Uncle.

Would love to gut those two sonbitches.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 13-11-2018 5:15pm

Btw guys what happens if you contribute nothing to the camp?

I had that smug bastard Dutch on my case last night looking for money. Told him to go fck himself.

Retr0gamer · 13-11-2018 5:16pm

My brother says he regrets buying it. New dad so has very little time to play and you've to dedicate a lot of time to each session which he doesn't have.

Find what I played of the game inconsistent. The characters so far aren't very likeable but when the game is good its very good. However the attention to detail kills it somewhat. A lot of the simulation elements while technically impressive can end up hindering the game and making it less fun.

I think rockstar should have thought about whether a system made the game more fun rather than adding it because they should have.

It's not going to top God of War as the best triple A game and it's not even close to my game of the year. It's an interesting game nonetheless and doubt anyone will put this much detail into a game again for a long time. It reminds me most of the first shenmue. Lots of systems in that to make it realistic but no regard for what they add to the game or even detract from it.

I didn't contribute to the camp in ages. I contributed a lot to the camp while other members contributed little to none and it had to stop.

Best thing I did was to upgrade my lodgings so I can sleep under canvas at night when away from the camp or towns.

It killed GOW stone dead as GOTY for me, it's on another level completely. It's the game of the year and one of the, if not the best, games of the last decade IMO.

Zero-Cool · 13-11-2018 7:13pm

Agreed, my GOTY as well. I'm having an absolutely amazing experience with it. Way better than RDR 1. Near the end of chapter 5 and steaming ahead with the story. Lots of little things that need changing but it just goes to show how amazing everything else is.

gimli2112 · 13-11-2018 7:31pm

I think you can ignore a shedload of it and not really notice. I never got into the combat and don't understand how cores and deadeye work. These are core concepts of the gameplay and yet haven't affected me in the slightest. Haven't really robbed people, trains or banks outside of missions. I'm just faffing about doing f-all much like real life.
I could suddenly decide I'm done with this but for the moment I'm loving it.

The Nal · 13-11-2018 8:06pm

Loving it. Very slow obviously but its so big. Would recommend ditching the missions for a while and riding a train to parts unknown. Open up the map. Some very big towns and places to be discovered and some mad side missions and encounters.

Last night turned into 3am very quickly and I was just arsing about really. Its a game Ill be playing for a few years I think.

iLikeWaffles · 13-11-2018 8:08pm

Next play through will be holding onto

as much loot like rings, gold nuggets and some gold bars

as possible, also won't

be going after the Arabian till Epilogue

. Is there anything you can

invest in that will carry over for Epilogue which could be sold?

bennyx_o · 13-11-2018 8:13pm

Just got to

the Epilogue now. Being honest, I've lost a slight bit of interest in it, but will continue to play

Alpha_zero · 13-11-2018 8:24pm

By the sounds of it would be ideal to be on the dole with this game

Wouldn't be worrying about

money in the epilogue, you get a ton of it eventually

Do.

The Epilogue

is surprisingly long and it’s most definitely worth seeing it through.

Why are we spoilering vague statements that literally contain no detailed information about the game.?

Because you could read between the lines and its end game which a lot of people have not gotten to yet!

The lighting in parts is really starting to annoy me, reminds me of Mafia 3 at launch were you needed a welders mask nearly and I'm not playing with HDR on. It's very over the top in place. It's like they have it up on 11 and could do with dialling it back to around 8 or 9.

I found that turning HDR off really helped with the lighting for me

Ugh just lost a tone of pelts stupid auto save. Got jumped by a cougar over an hour or more hunting gone ugh. Rage !

J. Marston · 14-11-2018 1:41am

Anyone find the pagan ritual? Gets you a very cool mask...

Shopkeepers will hurry up if I'm wearing that while robbing their place.

Where abouts on the map did you come across that?

Normal pelts, No. Sometimes if you're lucky when you die you will still have the pelts on the horse. Not sure if that is a bug or not, Had a panter pelt on my horse and died on a mission it was not showing as being on my horse but was able to donate for crafting. Happened a couple of times.

To the very west of Strawberry, past the lake and around the mountainside near the edges of the map. There is 4 candles around it so it might be easier to find at night when they'd stand out more.

Temptamperu · 14-11-2018 2:25am

This game might of ruined every other game on me

Riddle101 · 14-11-2018 3:17am

On Chapter 6 now.

Is it me or is it raining more now that Arthur is sick? The wet weather is bad for his health and I haven't see it rain as much the rest of the game. When playing it today there was a thunder storm which I hadn't seen before.

I was asking myself if there was thunder actually in the game earlier in chapters then 2 seconds later started to thunder near the swamps. I think it depends on what biome you are in, in chapter 6 you are in the mountains/north west which gets rain and thunder a lot! Definitely one of those small details that makes the game a masterpiece.

Anyone who pre ordered able to get Le Tresor Des Morts Treasure Map. The guide says only available if you pre-ordered the digital edition or own the Special/Ultimate editions. Technically I pre-ordered the digital edition redeemed code before launch but not able to find the treasure map. Anyone else pre order digital and able to get that treasure? or not able!

Seems there is nice loot where the sheriff used to be on that location

Where are the panthers anyway? Not sure if I've come across one yet.

14-11-2018 10:09am

I've been hunting orchids for he side mission and noticed some symbols painted on some trees in the area north of Saint Denis. Is there any significance to them?

Thunder is common enough around the area of the map you end up in chapter 6, I was exploring/hunting up there during chapter 3 and 4 and it was raining/thundering a lot.

There's also a stranger quest

that happens up around that area that involves a thunder storm, could be missable if you didn't do an earlier quest though

Be sure to go back there a few days later after the quest, it doesn't prompt you to on the map.

You can find them down the Bayou near the Lagras word. Best spot is down beside the braitwaithe manor. Just place predator bait down where I mark in red you will get one pretty quick.

I hope they drop weapon degradation from online. It’s the worst part of the game by a distance for me. At least cut the animation, painfully slow process.
It’s Rockstar though so they won’t, and gun oil will be expensive.

Just out for a stroll in saint denis and

randomly bumped into tilly,married and settled down she is going to write Abigail a letter and fill her in what she has been up to since leaving the group. The fine details in this game are mad. I am sure that letter will contain a side mission of some description
