You know what happens to a man's head when he gets hit with both barrels of the shotgun at once? His head disappears!

I heard you don't lose anything but I don't know how you get it all back. Maybe get a new horse and all your stuff will magically transfer to it.

How do I use legendary pelts? I've got one on my horse and I'm at the trapper, but the only option is to sell it. I want to make cool clothes :(

Edit:

Ahh, you sell it so the trapper has it in his inventory, then you can have him make clothes.

He makes the clothes for you, after you sell him the pelts.

That might not be a bug.

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
I spent all day watching someone stream from chapter 2 until the epilogue.

The in-game economy seems busted. They were playing only story missions, had enough money to buy out every recipe and item at every shop, and still had over a thousand dollars on hand. Doing things like hunting etc to make money doesn't seem to be needed. Doing it for fun (the only true reason) still counts, but you really don't need it at all. They also weren't bathing etc, just chugging food during gunfights from the pockets full of canned beans they held. Never saw them clean a gun either. Looks like you can ignore all that stuff.

There are a lot of missions with either long walking sections, and/or very long rides to get there. The slow pace at the start... expect that to continue through most of the game. It really doesn't change. I think the map might be too big. The content feels far too spread out, though the streamer wasn't bothering with anything other than travelling from point A to point B to get to the next story mission.

I don't think this counts as a spoiler but the entire game seems to be set in green places. Leafy trees, swamp, prairie. Big lack of desert environments and I never saw snow again.

The story seemed incredibly forgettable. All I got out of it was that they wanted money. I watched it for hours and hours and eh I couldn't tell you the main plot points outside of what you know was going to happen based on this being a prequel.

I was incredibly underwhelmed, but I also thought RDR had a poor story (with great missions) as most of the plot happened off screen. That story now looks like it was written by Shakespeare and directed by Spielberg by comparison to this one. But I put 300 hours into the game for the gameplay and the freeroam. Hopefully RDR2's online will be more like RDR than GTAO, in which case I'll be happy.

Is there a way to remove the bounty apart from paying it, or at least reduce it? I got a $200 bounty after doing a main mission, hope that's not a thing that will happen often in the main missions, as that means lots of grinding for money.

If you're on iOS search "RDR2" in the app store. The app is called "RDR2: Companion".

I searched for Red Dead Redemption I think and I had to scroll through some bullshit apps to find the real one.

Also, I'm worried that the sluggish Rockstar controls are going to make me shittier at Black Ops when I go back to playing that.

Best five bucks I've ever spend.

Diogines posted:

I played some of the older Grand Theft Autos and very much liked them, but I never played 4 or 5. I have heard some uh... things about 5 which has me cautious to try this game. So I have a few questions:

1. How important is the online element, if at all? Can it be ignored, is it actually good?
2. How important, if at all, are various pre-orders and microtransaction bullshit? I've no appetite, whatsoever, for buying a game a piece at a time.
3. Specifically, does the game have "shark cards" or whatever GTA5 has? Am I going to have to spend real life money or grind to get weapons or horses or something? I've not played GTA5 but what I heard about it is not flattering in that regard.
4. I never played RDR1. Do you think it would be worth while to grab PS Now or something and play it first? How much less do you think i'd enjoy the #2 without playing #1? I know it is a prequel but I assume it is full of plot threads and characters that tie to #1?

I played through GTA5 without engaging in any micro-transaction stuff or the online stuff at all, and I didn't feel the experience was hamstrung at all. It's a really fun game and still worth playing through.

Think about the profession of the person you're talking about, and the sort of things he might say about himself in his profession.

You should worry if the game closes with an error that says your PS4 is overheating, or if your PS4 literally bursts into flame. Otherwise the fans spinning up are working as intended.
