Are the drawings of animals on the map based on any kind of probability or are just there to mock me? Because I'm almost sure Bisons do not exist in the game besides that one instance with Javier (Charles?).

I was thinking the other week how this political time NEEDS A NEW GTA and that we don’t have one because we live in an era where R* games need 300 million dollars to make a game now and they take five years to make. What I’m telling you is that this the longest this gta fan has gone without a new gta ever and we aren’t getting one till 2021-22 at best. Will RDR2 scratch my GTA itch?

Probably not. It's not GTA but with horses. It's much slower paced. You can't carry 87 weapons on you, you need to take care if your horse etc.

True, but going on a killing spree in St Denis, shotgunning lawmen and chucking dynamite from horseback does scratch a certain GTA itch.

No. The pacing is way slower and the missions are not nearly as varied or as fun.

Jesus, was just wandering through the forest looking for the panther. Was pretty dark and couldn't see anything. Turned on eagle eye and it's crouching right at the feet of my horse, freaked me out. Of course the horse bucked me and ran off. Lucky I had my rifle equipped. Panther was 3 stars.

I was turning in a few perfect pelts to the trapper in the far west. My horse and I were trotting up the mountain side, when I heard a roar and my horse spooked. Somehow a dang grizzly bear snuck up on us. Before I could draw my rifle, I heard another familiar noise--the sound of a cougar. "Well, Cusser," I directed my thoughts to my horse, "we had a good trip. Shame it had to end like this." But then the grizzly charged the cougar. It swiped, the cougar yowled and ran away with the bear chasing it. I sat there for a second considering the fickleness of the universe before I saw a carcass pop up on my map. The cougar had died and the grizzly had vanished.

While it's much slower paces and a far different game, it's much better politically than any GTA game has ever been. And if you're into the shooting/action bits of GTA 4/5 this does that way better also.

Was wandering around in Annesburg and came across a dude hanging from a tree. Got out to investigate, and some of the Murfree brood popped out to ambush. I shot two of them, the last one had a knife and stabbed me head on, and I died immediately? I had some perfect skins that I lost, as well as a nice chunk of cash. Christ. On the flip, I've definitely tried knifing people myself (non stealth) only to have them take 10 slices before I lose my patience and just switch to a gun anyway. This kind of inconsistent death logic reminds me of the bits of RDR I hated so much. You can lose a *lot* of progress from these cheap, gotcha traps.

You're blaming the game because you got distracted by a body hanging from a tree when you were loaded with perfect skins?

The risk was mine to take for investigating, but I wasn't distracted. I mean, isn't that risk the fun? It's the inconsistencies that I think are a valid criticism, and make me feel the only way to alleviate is save-scumming which...pfff. Insta-knifedeath would be fair / challenging / rewarding in a game that had, say, a dodge mechanic? A parry mechanic? Player should have a reason to adequately screw up OR succeed. They should also be encouraged to take risks and rely on learned skill to come out on top. Not a situational thing that just kills you with the previous rules thrown out.

I think the knife is one hit if you charge people with it, or if it’s a stealth kill obviously. So I think the brood guys are doing a one hit knife charge. I think one of the jarring things about the game and the pace is that you can spend a long time just dicking around but every once in a while unexpectedly (brood, cougar, etc) the game changes gears on you and it can be hard to adjust. Which, I guess is kind of real, but can be annoying when for instance you just wanted to watch the cinematic travel screen.

The Murfree Brood guy may have been using a machete too, which I believe is a one shot even in Arthur's hands.

The throwing axe works as a melee weapon until you get a proper hatchet, when you chase someone down with it Arthur grabs their shoulder, leads them a step or two and buries it in their stomach like some fuckin last of the Mohicans poo poo.

I used a stick of dynamite, almost killing my horse in the process.

I had no idea you could do one hit kills, so I tried to figure it out. Pressing O as you run up to someone does the usual tackle, but if you wait until the last possible instant when you're almost touching them it becomes an instant kill move instead if you're using a hatchet or cleaver type thing. The hunting knives and long blades like the machete seem to do a tackle no matter what, with an option to execute from there.

Funny thing about the 2 safecrackers. I approach them and they give me the "get the gently caress outta here" but I want that safe money so I hit ROB. Arthur starts up saying something like "Alright fellers step away from the ---*BOOM* their dynamite just goes off from nothing and Arthur gets thrown and is like WHAT THE gently caress. I love this game. Dont get distracted when working with explosives

I remember people were earlier asking for a complete list of pelts and all that for crafting. I also know someone already posted a list but here's some more that I found on reddit.

Hobo Clown posted:How long does it take for the panther to respawn? I managed to kill one but it was only 2 stars. Panthers spawn in the evening/night, so in theory you can ride/walk around until morning and possibly hit a second. There are also two different types of panthers, found basically across a road from each other, so you can move to the other side of the road from where you found the panther you killed and possibly find another one as well.

If you reload the quicksave after a death, you get to keep the medium skins on your horse. Whatever large skin you had will still be gone, though.

Considering Rockstars silence, I take it Red Dead Online is not launching this year after all? A bit disappointed after their claim of the mode launching in November, but it seems like the interest in online is non-existent.

They said the online beta would launch before the end of this month, no date specified. I would imagine that if it were gonna be delayed, they would have said something by now. Have faith, brother.

I alaways assume I might randomly get killed, so I save immediately after loading any pelt or killing any legendary. As for the safe crackers, if you pass them up but then don’t go too far off, they’ll blow themselves up and leave the safe open for you.

Not only are they always there, but also there are lots of three star ones and they move slowly most of the time so they’re very easy to hunt.
