I am only a couple hours in but so far I feel like this game feels a little more mature than the last few GTAs or even the first RDR. I'm sure I'll run into some sort of Herbert moooooooon thing soon enough but for now it's pretty refreshingly restrained.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

So there are hidden interactions involving setting up camps which may not be very obvious at all but they are needed for some random encounters.

For example I set up camp near the trapper to make something and it launched into a cutscene where swamp people threatened me with a gun warning me to get got or they would gut me. So yeah remember to use camps because it can result in random things happening in the world.

I've been killing a lot of people in the road for money and bullets and then I go to the camp and talk to one of the girls and she says "Arthur, are you alright?" and then Arthur says "Well, I've been killing a lot of animals needlessly", she says "Is that it?" and Arthur says "Well" *pause* "I've also been killing lots of innocet folk, don't know why. I'm just so angry". drat.

GOTY for sure.

But, am I missing something with the weapons system? I select a rifle and shotgun on my horse. I jump off and one of them is still on my donkey.

Or I shoot something with my shotgun and holster it with L1, but hitting L1 again pulls out my pistol.

Am I retarded? I'm almost considering dropping all weapons except for one, so when I hit L1 I know what I will be aiming with.

How do you carry more than one large animal pelt to the trapper? I have a legendary bear pelt and want to go find a bison to make a coat with, but earlier, I couldn't fit two alligator skins on my horse at once and it just dumps one off.

Or is your inventory space for that stuff just based on the other, littler junk already stowed? (I had a few pig skins and some buck skins at the time in my pack.)

I'm very torn about getting this game. One the one hand, it looks really good.

On the other hand, I've been burned out on open world games and haven't liked one in years (except for BOTW) and this is giving me vibes from the Witcher 3, in that I REALLY tried to like that game, but I couldn't. Because:

A: The combat was miserable. The sort of hybrid between Batman combat and Dark Souls combat felt slow, yet janky. At least the combat for DRD2 looks competent.

B: The slowness of Witcher 3 really turned me off. Don't make me craft a ghost-killing oil for my sword, let me just go hit the ghost. RDR3 this looks EVEN slower, but somehow the attention to detail might somehow make that cathartic. Are there too many little chores to do here?

C: Roach, that loving horse. Normally horses are lovely in these games because they have a mind of their own, and you have to get off every 15 feet anyways so you can pick some flowers. It looks like the this game has less stops, are the horses less stupid?

This game have plenty of the things you hate and in agravant quantities.

Ultimately the problem with RDR 2 is that the game is extremely good so often that the mistakes are all the more glaring. Little issues like the looting being a hold command AND a long animation, the crime system being kinda bad and no toggles for any of the immersion options would all be normally small things. But they are so much more glaring in a game that does so much right.

honestly i think this was true of gta4 too. still a good game!

It's a pity that most Android Tablets aren't compatible with the app. It works fine on my phone but the text in the journal is tiny and you can't zoom.

I'm holding out for an update for tablets because even on the phone, never having to pause to use the map is an amazing feature that should be available in all open world games. It also shows all your cores constantly which is handy.

The emergent quests in this are ridiculous.

Some random dude ran out on the road crying for help from a snake bite, so I sucked it out of his leg and promptly forgot about it. Several hours later, he's in town and yells to me, tells me to grab one free item from the gun shop, so I head in, shoot the poo poo with the clerk who basically makes fun of the guy but says the offer is good, and I grab the Springfield rifle and save myself 120 bucks. Come out to thank the guy, he gets pissed I picked something so expensive, then his friend tries to pick a fight with me, so I punch his rear end out. The snake bite guy tries to flee, trips and falls off the porch and knocks himself out on the horse hitch.

Also I robbed a secret room and got a free Schofield Revolver, which I promptly made look like a ridiculous Victorian steampunk gun covered in brass engraving. Game rules.

i just circumnavigated the entire southern half of the map to get enough loot for the leatherworking tools and i don't know why because the "rewards" you can craft seem negligible at best and hunting in this game blows goats

but the home robbery at the map's extreme southern edge had me feeling like a bad, bad man

If there isn't enough money in the ledger, you can pay for the rest with your own money. At least that's what I think. There was like 140 in the ledger and I had 100 on me and I managed to buy the leather working tools just fine.

A bunch of betamale soyboys on the internet forum for far out left liberals suddenly clutching on to American ideals and the "toxic" masculinity that the right has been touting ever since America got Great again has no idea what it means to be a real cowboy. I lived on a ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming helping my dad maintain the ranch. If I didn't that meant I didn't get to eat, and my baby sister who was sick might die. Busting my rear end in the stables, waking up at the rear end crack of dawn, and not going to bed until the cows literally came home. I've shoveled poo poo, and I've buried my own dog. Nearest veterinarian was a ways into town, and I've had to suture a bulls bleeding nutsack after castration. So continue living in your fantasy playing Red Dead Redemption, hell, I wish I was as oblivious to you. I know the reality of it though, and it's not all glamorous train robberies and drinking at the saloon. It's a lot of hard work, and a lot of real heart break.
