I think it counts food as a health item, but even then I feel like I've failed this one just by getting close to death and then having health regen kick in. The time limit one also kills me, because even with my horse going full sprint some of them seem borderline impossible (unless you get super sprinty horses later on and are meant to replay these, I guess).

Also, did anyone keep the big black horse instead of selling it during that early Hosea mission to unlock the stables? I did it just to see the variety of horses they had but having seen one since. I like the idea of riding a big fuckoff horse that towers over everyone else's, even if it's a little slower or something.

There definitely are. Still in chapter 2 but there's a mission involving the captive you find in the prologue which I assume never happens if you chose to kill him, and then another mission that I ignored for a while until the quest giver told me not to bother anymore because he did the job himself. I like it, honestly, it's pretty ballsy to put content like that in a game that some players are never even gonna see.

Wait, which captive?

As much as I wanted to play this without minimap/gps bullshit, the compass kind of sucks. I'm playing on a 1080p tv, sitting 6 feet away on a couch, and the thing is so goddamn small I can't read the N, S, E, W, they all just look like black blips, so it's pretty much useless unless it's pointing at an active objective or something.

The first person in this game is only good when you are playing one of the mini games like poker or dominoes.

I tried riding with it once and it was loving horrible. I haven't really tried walking around in it, but I don't think I would want to after trying it with the horse.

I mean it's a nice feature and all (although I don't know why they use 3 third person camera angles that are literally just a few feet apart), but it's not a loving feature that needed to use the biggest loving button on the god drat PS4 controller simply because it's not going to be used nearly as much as the loving map/menu. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I think I have a pet peeve about bad button decisions.

You can make it use a bigger mini map. Hold down on the D-Pad and then a menu will pop up asking what size you want the minimap. Choose expanded.

And I just found another dumb nitpicky thing that I can't believe a design team would miss.

Ok, so if you change your mini map to just a compass, it shrinks and blacks out the minimap, but you can't actually tell which direction you are going via the compass because the loving letters marking the compass are black and the compass sits in the lower left hand corner of the screen which is always going to have the ground behind it, so it's almost always going to be dark there.

So you literally can't tell which direction you are headed if you use the compass mode. Like all they had to do was change the NESW letters in the compass to white when it changed the rest to black and it would have been fine.

I haven't found it necessary to loot anything, but I could see how it could come in handy there.

However, I still stand by my statement that the map/menu should have used the big PS4 button and the change camera should have used the option button or just been changed from the menu.

Also, they did NOT need 3 different third person camera angles that are only slightly different.

edit - I mean seriously, just think about how nice it would be if you could just open up the map just by pressing the biggest button on the PS4 controller.

Agreed. If I could just turn off first person except for mini games, and make the touch pad right side the map I'd be much happier. If you don't know you can open the map by holding Options (not sure if this is actually said in the game or not).

I don't actually open the map much now that I have the companion app since I can set waypoints in that, though.

I know holding the options will bring up the map, but that's still irritating because I have to hit and hold a tiny little button as opposed to hitting the biggest loving button on the PS4 that instead contains the most useless loving option in the game as far as I'm concerned.

And I'm sorry, but I am not adding a companion app to my phone. I honestly think that's loving stupid and I hated it on that pirate Assassins Creed game too.

They put a loving map in the game, so I don't want to have to look at my phone in order to look at the map. Why would I want to try to navigate around using a little 5"x3" screen when I have a loving 60 inch television I could be using?

Can anyone tell me what settings to change to make the aiming controls as close to the way CoD does it as possible? So it's free aim with sort of sticky autoaim when you hover over an enemy. I know it won't be as responsive because CoD is 60fps, but it'll be better than what happens now where my crosshair swings wildly all over the screen.

Oh and one last nitpick. I wish pulling back on the left stick would stop your horse. It's completely intuitive and makes sense that pulling back on the reins would stop your horse. But no, in order to completely stop your horse, you have to press/hold the R1 button.

same exact poo poo happens to me, when the game is being good, it's incredibly good. but then all of a sudden, things take a swing and nonstop bullshit keeps happening. I've personally never had people get angry at me for blocking them, and the few times it does happen, I defuse and move out the way and it turns out okay. you might be super slow with your reaction times which is why they're popping you full of holes.

but yeah, it's so frustrating when lovely things keep happening that feel out of your control. I've ragequit the game a fair few times even though I'm so in the mood to play it. the random bullshit just ruins it.

if I'm heading back to the trapper anyways, I'll load a skinned animal onto the back if there's nothing else there, but now that I think about it, I don't actually see the carcass for sale, it's always just the pelts. so I think taking a skinned carcass with you only helps if you're donating it to the camp. a carcass doesn't show in the sell menu if you've skinned it already.

What you need to do is start letting go of L2 and then using it again. It should cause you to retarget on the closest person to the reticle. However, you can't be too far away from someone or it will just target in on the reticle.

I know that. I don't want a mini map. I want a compass that I can read so I can pretend to be a cowboy and not a dude using Waze to get around everywhere. Compasses aren't really functional if you can't read at least which direction is north. The compass is one size and it's not changeable.

same happened with my TV, I had brightness all the way up and could still barely make out the R* logo and couldn't differentiate between the shades of colour. I hosed around in my TV settings and turned a bunch of stuff off (like autoblur, smoothness, stuff the TV can do to make things easier on the eyes, they're not good for this game) and also put my TV into HDR mode and took it off the colour settings I had (it was movie, I put it onto game). fixed it perfectly, I ended up being able to have brightness around 30% and could see things great.

WoodrowSkillson posted:

I've been killed a bunch of times with pelts on me and never lost them. only time I lose them is if my horse eats poo poo and falls over and I don't notice, then I leave the pelts behind.

speaking of pelts, I swear someone in this thread mentioned if you skin and leave pelts on the ground, the trapper automatically grabs them for you or something? I really, really hate the limit on pelts you can carry, like if R* just patched in an option to lasso a horse or two behind your main horse to act as pack mules, that would be perfect. you get to use more of your own horses, and going hunting lets you nab a poo poo tonne of pelts. I'm mainly an opportunistic hunter cause the effort involved doesn't really balance out the payment. like 30-45 minutes of tracking a bunch of animals (the tracking system is pretty bad, the highlighted routes are barely ever visible, and constantly tapping into eagle eye vision is frustrating as gently caress) for a payout of max $80 just doesn't cut the time and effort vs payout. I've tried skinning animals and leaving the pelts for me to collect later, but the game deletes them if you move too far. I even went as far as to drop a marker on about 5 pelts I'd piled together, went to the trapper, came back and all that was left were the carcasses.
