Btw, despite my issues with the controls, I still really like this game and all the stuff that you can see and do in it. I was amused when a prisoner that I had shot the shackles off earlier came back to me again in shackles. I let him go again and he gave me a tip about a house to rob and claimed he wouldn't get locked up again. I really hope I find him in chains again. I'll keep setting him free I also found and dynamited the KKK initiation, but then later I found 3 more of them setting up a big cross somewhere. I watched them for a minute and then 2 idiots dropped the cross which killed them. Then the black robed leader started saying that it was a bad day or something before I put a bullet in his face.

Frankly, I don't see why I would ever need to make the horse go backwards when I can just spin it in a circle. sometimes the horse gets wedged between stuff and can't turn, so going backwards is the only way. What the gently caress is with Van Holden trading town or whatever it's called? Jesus Christ, avoid it like the plague if you don't want your honour to take a huge hit I hear screaming and some whore is being attacked by a guy, so I intervene. I figure it's gonna be a polite fist fight between gents, but the oval office pulls a pistol on me. I shoot him, and then jesus christ almighty, I kid you not, 20 or 30 guys slowly attack me in waves, it's never ending. It was so bad I was worried they were lawmen spawning. My honour kept going down with every loving kill. I eventually wipe them out, the woman is nowhere to be seen, no reward. But it was really good fun. Then I hear another scream, and I figure "oh, it might be the woman and I'll get a reward if I help her again". Some guy is coming out the saloon, insults a black dude, I intervene. We get into a fist fight, I promptly kick his rear end, he politely replies by shooting me a bunch. I kill him. And then another wave of 10 or 20 guys comes at me again. Each kill giving me negative honour. Walked into that town with my honour a fair bit past the midway point. I'm leaving it and I'm so far to the left of the midway point. And as far as I can tell, it does nothing? Like no reward for stepping in. Not too annoyed cause that was the most enjoyable gun fight ever but drat, I wish my honour didn't take that bad a hit for helping some dockside whore out.

This is a game that absolutely does best when you let it breathe a little and if that's not your thing that's fine. Every time I go somewhere in this game I see something new that is absolutely stunning in some way and it's pretty much always worth it. This is a very good post. Traveling to and from places kind if *is* the game in a lot of ways. I've seen so much cool stuff (like running across the KKK in the hills near Strawberry at night... that whole thing is nutso and hilariously done).

Cinematic mode needs a free camera Also why can I sometimes not hold X in cinematic mode and my horse will keep going, but other times if I don’t hold X the horse stops?

I don't think that's what they were saying. They were saying that this game is about riding your horse around a lot. If you don't like riding your horse around, this may not be the game for you. They also said that the horse riding takes you to some interesting interactions and content which you'd miss if you fast traveled around. The horse riding isn't a "lovely game mechanic" just because you don't like it. It is a huge part of the game and a large impetus for content discovery. I find it pretty drat fun too. It's ok if you don't like it. I don't like a lot of things in life too.

a ways back in the thread but you don't need to "mash x" to make split point bullets - just hold down x and he will keep repeating the animation and making bullets until you run out of material

There was a house I was able to force my way into and loot that contained a murdered family. I found it on a dark and stormy night and it really creeped me out there was a little kid slumped over a rocking horse with blood on the floor.

I've been a stage coach bandit for the last couple hours of game play and it just loving owns. It just kicks major rear end. Folks, it's good. The game gets much better when you get a faster horse btw. Makes journeys that seem incredibly long on the map really only take a couple minutes. I love how well I'm getting to know the terrain just by revisiting it. I had a couple of bad moments, both centered around the bounty system which is a sour spot in an otherwise incredibly bright game.

It's ok if you don't like it. I don't like a lot of things in life too.  Basically what he1ixx said. I like modern skinner box gaming as much as the next person where there's always something going on that gives me treats for being a good boy, but there's room for other kinds of games too. I've been listening to the podcast "Treks and the City" lately. It's a feminism/fashion focused podcast with Alice Wetterlund of Silicon Vallley and Veronica Osorio of Hail! Caeser. They're both long time TNG fans and it's fun to hear a different take on Star Trek than some nerdy white guys talking about how great it is. One of the things they point out frequently is how much wasted time/space there is, and how it's so different from modern tv where pretty much everything is designed to push things forward at all times. Like, you'll see Riker at a door and Picard will say enter, and the camera will just follow Riker the whole time as he walks into the room and sits down to talk to Picard. Whereas a modern tv show would just start the scene with Picard and Riker sitting down having a conversation. That is one of the things I like about TNG because it gives a similar room to breath. It's a show that allows for more contemplation and introspection. I think RDR2 is like that in a lot of ways. Now I'm not saying that it's perfect but for better or worse I am glad it's the way it is, because there's already a bazillion other games out there that are the other way, and I'm not saying they're bad, I like a lot of those too. I guess it would suck if you are a big time western fan and really want a story set in the west but want a game experience more similar to something like Destiny or Spiderman or rear end Creed. In that case the only game I can even think of is that Call of Juarez: Gunslinger game (which is really really good).

Nope, the only one I could afford at the time was a tiny average horse for $15. When I rode with the gang, they were at least 4ft taller than me. I was embarrassed to be around them.

Can't you look over the horses to see your options before you decide to sell him? I think it really only existed to let you get your preorder/special edition horses and you were supposed to keep him otherwise.
