Anyone else really not care for the new "core" health system? Just seems overly complicated.
|
Well, this game reminded me why I don't care too much for alligators LMAO
|
The inventory system is little complicated in this version, and I, too, am not a big fan of the heath/stamina inventory maintenance. I mean -- I have to change clothes for the weather or else my core gets too hot/cold? WTF. I think there's a point of diminishing returns with making the gameplay as real as possible.
I just shaved my beard. Do I have to take a shit twice a day, too? And if that's not going well, will I have to use some laxatives from my Inventory? Or find some prunes out in the wild to pick and eat? Almost serious question. |

Only got an hour or so of it last night. Getting use to the controls again. The one thing i did think was odd was the stamina system. Good to see im not the only one. And yeah, having to change clothes depending on the weather? Hrmmm...haven't gotten to that point yet but not sure how i feel about that already.

Started installing at 11:15. Currently 32% into Disk 1.
So right around that ~45 minutes per disk pace mentioned above. |
Do those treasure maps, folks.

Just looked at the map included in the special edition out of curiosity. Good lord, is it massive.

**** that. I just looked up where each spot was. Had enough of wandering around aimlessly while hunting for that ****ing legendary buck.

So finally got the damn thing downloaded, and now I can't see the Rockstar logo on the brightness settings on set up no matter how bright I set my TV ???

Wandering outside of Valentine, come across this random homestead. The man is out near his corral, I come up engage and greet him......and he immediately draws on me without provocation. He starts yelling about the damage to his property and telling me to get away.
I slowly back my horse up thinking I'm just going to leave but as I'm backing up I notice he's alone, has a house and barn that have to have provisions, and 2 of the Florida Steers in his corral. I decide it's worth it and blast him, kill the cattle and get good meat and hides off of them. Found some really good stuff in the house and barn too....it was all def. worth it. I know it doesn't seem like much but I'm just loving these random encounters and the risk/reward and consequences and rewards they yield. I love this game. |
When I finally got turned loose to do my own thing, I went to that nearby town and laid waste to some folks, thinking I’d be able to load from my previous mission’s completion in camp. Turns out I racked up a significant bounty and auto saved after every death.. I just spent two or three hours replaying those shitty intro missions. Makes me wish all the cutscenes were skippable so I don’t have to watch X talk to Y about Z again.

I'd also like a feature where I can stop in the middle of an action in case I accidentally click that I want to pick up a body or something. |
Manually save and load under the "Story" tab.

I gotta spend time with the son. And time with the wife.
THEN IT'S RDR TIME OOOOOOHYAAAAAAAA |
I thought the deliberate pace was going to bother me, but it just works, somehow. The game's like good liquor, fine to savor it. There's so much...stuff to do all over the place, I'll probably be playing this for months

Switching weapons is a bit tricky and annoying and it's so easy to pull your weapon and shoot your horse by mistake
|
This game needs a couple of money sinks. Gotten the camp completely upgraded and fully upgraded the horse and guns I use and still have well over 2 thousand.
|
I feel it is a big waste of money at this point. I played GTA5 and it was awesome. Controls on this game are clumsy, inventory system is to complicated, just a rushed project. Do not recomend
|
Don't know what you're talking about as far as controls. Feels pretty similar to GTA5. Inventory is a bit weird to get used to but once you've got it down not a problem.
|
Whoever made the "Country Pursuits" mission at Rockstar is a ****ing asshole. That is all.

I just saw a horse kick a guy to death LMAO

Cinematic mode on your horse is pretty nice. You can set a waypoint on the map and it will automatically take you there without you needing to do anything. You can die from random events still so that kind of sucks.
|
I wish they would have remade GUN from the PS2 era. That game was bad ass could use dynamite on your arrows and blow people up that land on top of buildings.
|
Let my wife “drive” the horse last night . She’s notoriously horrible at any steering mechanism in games. I keep telling her to slow down, she does. Then while in Valentine, while walking the horse at a snails pace, she walks over a dog. The dog helps, and whines, and is dying. My wife is crying. LMAO.
But, here’s the cool thing. I think that was considered a crime maybe? It was in someone’s property and my wanted status appeared a few seconds after walking over the dog. But as I was riding through town at a walking pace, as I passed people. They said things like “ I wouldn’t be seen around here if I were you” and “take it from me friend, the law is looking for you. You’d better leave town”. Maybe because my honor status is leaning pretty far into the white /good guy status. I’m not sure what to make of the camp/donate thing. So far it’s been a lot of just randomness . Haven’t got far in the story at all. Don’t get me wrong I love this game. I just don’t know whaat to do, am I supposed to just go hunt stuff, or go rob people? Do I need to donate (feels like I’m the. Only mother ****er in camp doing anything LMAO) As others have said, the weapons wheel/ item /satchel navigation is a little comprehensive. I’m gettting the hang of it, but there’s lots to remember like at one point I had a rifle, it I have no idea where it is now, maybe because it’s the beginning and I’ve had like three horses before finally buying my own at the stable. Maybe now I have to acquire stuff. Not sure how to obtain more money, I think I’m at like $70 . |

Also you can't do shit anywhere with the more bounty on your head holy shit. Go hunting and shoot your gun and they surround you and kill you before you can get away. |

Help for those of you insane enough to go for 100% completion.
If you are the type that likes to explore and figure out every little thing on your own then definitely do not look. www.rdr2map.com |
Good idea I read is to tame a wild horse if one is nearby and then ride it with your main horse whistled for and following. Then you can hunt and bring back 2X as many carcasses. More pelts as well I guess, but I never have hunted more pelts than the carcass I can carry, so not sure what the limit is on pelt carry.

Of note, a bear pelt is treated like a carcass in size as well.

Some chick was on the side of the road and i decided to help. She then asked for a ride back to town and asked that i make room for her on my horse.
Well...i just almost got my ass kicked by a grizzly bear, im a ****ing bloody mess and im not about to drop this Grizzly hide to take her home. So i pistol whipped her instead for being such a selfish bitch. Of course a witness saw, so i popped a cap in his ass too. While looting the body and grabbing his spiffy hat, yet another witness shows up. I chase him down and pistol whipped him to death. Dang....one murder just led to another, ya know? But i can't have them snitchin'. |

For those of you that want a good horse.

Anyone figure out how to rob the back room of the doctor without alerting the law?

Quote:
Once I get back to that, I think I'll try changing clothes and putting on a mask, and then maybe go in at night and use knives or something quiet. If that fails, I'll just check and see how much I can make in there and pay the bounty off quick. |

Come across a dead woman and stagecoach driver. Stopped to loot the bodies, and another coach drives by. Thinks I did it. Sorry, gotta kill you now. Another coach drives by and catches me in the act. ****, you're dead too. Of course, as I'm looting THOSE bodies, a single rider comes by. MIND YOUR OWN ****ING BUSINESS, PEOPLE! |

Ugh....still can't find white arabian... I've seen a video of it now and it seems like that spot is where I killed some wolves my first time there, but i haven't seen anything near there now but deer and rams. I've tried camping and sleeping a few times...wondering if I need to kill off the other animals to get a respawn or something

last night had my first session of frustrating gaming lol.
I just finished a mission, and was riding back to the camp. as I passed through Valentine, the guy i helped get poison out of his leg was sitting on a bench in town and said to his friend "There's the man who saved my life". I approach, and he offers to buy me any gun at the gun smith. So, i trot around trying to find the guns smith, and circle behind 2 buildings. There are two other yayhoos leaning against a well. I walk by and they talked some noise. I responded with "Defuse"; then I just sat there. Didn't say anything or move. They said one or two more things....pause....then both just shot me dead. LMAO As I come to / revive to begin playing, I walk past a Deputy and he says something along the lines of we don't need you starting any more trouble. I responded with a wise crack.....boom. I was shot dead again. LMAO. Come to again, now I'm like "ok, whatever...." but can't get my free gun at the gunsmith. I leave the gun smith on foot, and I'm jus standing there and some guy walks by, stops and starts giving me grief. I sand there, silent just looking at him. He walks away. I follow about 20 feet, then he just turns around and starts fighting me. I beat his ass, then all of a sudden the entire posse of Law in town are after me shooting etc. lol. JFC. If I start anything, I get a wanted level. If I just mind my business, I get shot. LMAO I need to take a small break until I can dedicate a good solid chunk of hours to it. I've only been able to play about 45 minutes here and there, and i sort of lose track of where I'm at in the story / what I need to do the next time I play. |
The mission where you take Lenny to the Saloon...****ing epic. Loved it.

Shoot the men. Beat the women, hog tie them and toss them over the cliff side. You can call it the "Valentine Massacre". You'll be a legend. |
I've had much better game play experience since i restarted all over and now i found a trapper who i can sell my hides and game too so that was much easier way to make some cash and i have much better way of staying out of trouble and staying alive. Just glad i started over.
I'm like the Bandit that doesn't shut drawers after looting. Nope not shutting any drawers or cabinets or chest. People are going go home and know they've been robbed instead of just thinking to themselves misplaced it because the everything was shut. I'm a bad man. |

I'm not very far into it. maybe like 3 hours or so. |
How does the Camp work? I mean, I'm 'contributing" etc. ...but is it a deal where more of the map unlocks after the gang saves a certain amount of money?
If so.....that's going to take forever I"m only at like$70 bucks. LMAO. |

Upgrading the camp unlocks free fast travel. Also gives you a place to grab some good supplies.

Also, you can go anywhere you want as soon as you're in chapter 2. Just going to get shot to shit by going into a certain area.
