Nolgthorn posted:I can't think of any 3rd person RPGs that are this complicated or that really do the controls better regardless. I'm loving the fistfights too, my favourite feature is that at any time you can seamlessly bring a knife or a gun into them. I mean, yeah, but tacking "RPG" on there puts it into a very forgiving restricted category. Like saying it's the best game ever released this week. The more confusing (and vastly more annoying) parts of the game are the deliberate decisions. Hunting, doing a single mission at a time, walking on eggshells because you might criminally invade someone's personal space, forced slow movement everywhere, looting... everything has an extra layer or two of pedantry attached. RDR1 had a perfectly fine model for autopilot on a horse and they've made it objectively worse. It's like someone took the stance that every aspect of the gameplay had a tedium budget that needed to be met. Then again these are all things being celebrated (like the lack/restriction of fast travel) in reviews, so what the hell do I know. Edit: Nolgthorn posted:Anyone run into the man from new york headed toward Strawberry? I was leading that dude there and then I accidentally went one nanometer too far ahead of him, tried to turn around and accidentally brushed up against him by about a nanometer and the giant pussy ran away. Was wondering what happens if you get him into town. I saw this on a stream. I think you stop just outside of town and he gives you a tip on something. I can't remember the specifics but it didn't seem important at the time.

So if my dude can't aim for poo poo because he's waving around like he's in detox it's because I've been ignoring one of the cores, or just the outside health bar?

First mission I listen to blathering forever then when something happens I get stuck and keep spinning in circles trapped in the scenery. Keep getting shot but cant die or unstick myself. Kinda hypnotic after a while, the music, the gunshots, the villain dialog, the constant spinning.

I really, really like the way you can casually converse with anyone and decide the attitude you want to bring to it. "Defuse" is brilliant.

They might, but I, an uncool goon dumb bitch, will not. This is going to be one for the ages from what I've played so far. I get if people want a different pace, but for me, taking things at the pace Rockstar wants is proving incredibly immersive and incredibly enjoyable.

I like the game a whole lot cause I played like 10 hours of it today but I do think it's way more niche than I expected from a Rockstar game. I absolutely love the clothing options and just got to level 4 with my horse Walter.

Probably not but it's definitely the weirdest and most ambitious big budget AAA western (as in, not japanese, not like Western-western) game I've played. Especially coming from a company like Rockstar with an established successful formula who could have absolutely released "Cowboy GTAV" and made half a billion in day one sales.

I was walking around the camp antagonising everyone for no reason and I got to Abigail Half way through my sentence, John charged up to me and knocked me the gently caress out and I woke up about 12 hours later. It was awesome.

I'm sad. There was a family out in the woods that I stumbled across. I ran nfo them again and they got attacked by outlaws. While I was loving around with my new horse trying to get my weapons out of the saddlebag while he was bucking and fretting and running away, the family got murdered. If this game were more... normal, it wouldn't have been a problem. I'm really bummed out about the family,it was it was the dad with two incompetent sons building a house , but this is the type of poo poo only this game could provide.

This would be cool concept if there was a leveling system. You start out as some kid who left his dad's farm because he was an alcoholic who beat you something fierce. At first you barely know how to ride a horse or holster a gun, but as the story progresses you gradually gain experience. A Native Americans tribe takes you in and teaches you how to hunt and trap. You hear word of gold in the west. Incredible fortunes to be discovered. Your journey begins.

I saved them and all the greet/antagonize options became contextual and I was able to poo poo-talk the sons for being cowards and hiding out during the gunfight. Really curious to see if that story keeps developing, they definitely put that homestead in a place where you're meant to ride by it very often

Sometimes it seems to protect my identity, and other times they know who I am. How in-depth is the simulation? Do you have to change clothes and come into town with the mask on? Or is just putting it on before you commit a crime enough?

I was riding back from the bear lake when I got into a random encounter of a stranger being mauled by a wolf. I killed the wolf, dismounted, approached the wounded guy still on the ground and my horse trotted over and stepped on his head. RIP. GOTY?

The game is really struggling against its hyper-realism with poo poo like accidentally killing people with your horse. Everything has consequences but there's a layer between player intent and what actually happens inside the simulation, and that causes dissonance and reduces agency. Anyway, where and when is the first time you can get a game of poker going? There seems to be a surprising amount of side activities in my texas hold'em simulator before I get to the meat of it.

Pro tip: Manual save a lot. Checkpoints are meaningless outside of scripted mission sequences, so if you happen to walk close to a guy with your horse or press the wrong button you lose your horse+money+stuck in the middle of nowhere. Pro tip 2: If you want to get Dutch's Tent as the first upgrade, make sure you have $220 (i think?) on hand/in the camp before you turn in the cash from your first loan mission. Otherwise it locks you into the ledger until you buy something else (you can't resupply and must pay for an upgrade) and if you walk away and avoid the ledger it kills you when you try to leave camp. If you leave camp before turning in the mission you can go do whatever to make money but cannot accept missions as you're technically already on one. Other fun discoveries include being reported for a crime immediately despite killing three people in the middle of the mountains with no one around, checkpointing on death to the middle of nowhere with no horse, and being killed by a deputy who spawned right behind me after I turned to kill all the ones chasing me. Dramicus posted:Yeah, I did this too. How does the bandit mask work? Sometimes it seems to protect my identity, and other times they know who I am. How in-depth is the simulation? Do you have to change clothes and come into town with the mask on? Or is just putting it on before you commit a crime enough? As far as I can tell: If you committed a non-murder crime with the mask, you're fine. If you committed a non-lawman murder but no one saw it and you have a mask on, you're hunted but no bounty. If you kill a lawman, despite no one seeing it and you having a mask, it's automatic bounty and they know who you are. Also this game does the hilarious GTA infinite teleporting cops thing so I'd avoid that mission. "The simulation" is transparent as hell.

Got a random mission to get rid of a body for someone. Did that, but immediately got a bounty for murder. Was that a glitch, someone seeing me dump the body (didn't notice any bystanders), or was maybe the mission scripted to frame you?

Why do people in this thread keep using the word simulation? Is there really any more to it than any other modern open world game? I've yet to see any videos etc that suggest something amazing is going on behind the scenes, and can't see it in game either (Chapter 3).
