Reddit was saying that $20 was the optimal amount to give for max honour points. I didn't really notice either way but it's not that hard to just keep giving in $20 amounts.

Finally made it to the end. Was definitely ready to be done by then, not because of the (epilogue chat)farm building and chores which I actually liked, just the general 'ride around and kill thirty guys' gameplay. If anything I almost wished the bit where you're lying low as farmhand Jim Milton went on longer than it did because it was neat to see such a dramatic change of pace to the rest of the game. Also Dutch just kinda showing up seemed really odd and out of place. Like I know he was basically supposed to be a man lost but he just seemed to be doing things and siding with or against Micah at random? I dunno, it felt weird that he would come back at all but like they had to include him because he was such a prominent figure in chapters 1-6. Now to shelf it for six months, boot it up when R* announces some new update that adds things to do in RDO that I mess with for 20 minutes, then inevitably fall back in love with it and replay the entire thing from start to finish again

Unless you are constantly robbing people and shooting civilians it's actually pretty hard to move the needle when you're neutralish. If you really want to drive it down, rob like 5 or 6 trains. It goes down extra fast if you murder the passengers and then loot their corpses. Of course once you hit maximum positive honour it is very easy to drop back down. Still takes some effort to push yourself back into the positive if you are at maximum negative honour.

Im surprised by all the negative press ive seen lately about rdr2. The game itself has flaws (looking at you controls) but i wouldnt call it disappointing or a bad game. Especially not in a year that held fallout 76. No telling peoples tastes i guess

Especially not in a year that held fallout 76. It's not Fallout 76, but RDR2 still has problems it has inherited from GTA franchise. Rockstar basically has the worst controls in the GTA-genre with 'funny' accidents it causes. Horses are pretty stupid IRL, but not as stupid as in RDR2. Storyline and the open world are great. It's shame there's too much GTA in it.

I went from RDR2 to Witcher 3 for a few minutes because my kid wanted to play it, and the horse handling is so much better in RDR2. The RDR games have always had the best horse gameplay (horseplay? Lol) in my opinion, by far.

Anything negative has usually been RDO related with an asterisk because it's still technically in beta.

It's exactly what happened a few months after Skyrim came out and everyone realized they'd just played a game for 6,000 hours and suddenly they weren't actually having fun. Fitting since it's Yeehaw Skyrim.

the GTA/R* controls thing is a matter of preference. I love the weighty style, it’s one of my favorite things about their games and always enhances the immersion for me. it feels like I’m a real dude who actually exists and interacts with the game world. like I’ve been trying to get back into AC: Odyssey, and I can’t get over how much I loving hate the super streamlined floaty style. just how the whole game feels. whether I’m running, climbing, fighting, sailing, riding, I’m always very obviously just steering a floating object around on a 3D plane. it’s like I’m driving a car with different skins. if they were to ever abandon their style for what’s apparently the Right Way for games to control in 2018 I’d be mega bummed

I dont mean to sound like a dick but the real reason your horse does this is because of you. Protip: let go of your left thumb stick when you're about to gallop through dense forested areas or near obstacles because your horse will actually avoid these things automatically.

re: horseback riding. generally just slow the gently caress down, stop riding everywhere at a full tilt gallop. travel the way you would on a real horse and you won’t plow into trees and buildings and run people over so much. like somebody else said, stop Kramering everywhere

When you haven't bonded with your horse it won't do poo poo for you. Rock directly in the path? Not jumping that poo poo without a prompt. Tree? Time to take a goddamn header. but once you bond, the horse tries to solve these problems for you, which becomes a problem because you've grown used to dodging everything yourself, so you get into a fight with your horse and still hit every tree and rock in the way.

The controls have repeatedly prevented me from capping my horse in the head while hunting on horseback so that’s already an improvement over RDR. Aside from a few misunderstandings that resulted in brutal bystander deaths, I like the controls and bounty/cop stuff. One time I thought the little red dot on a train stopped in the middle of the woods was a robber holding it up so I blew his rear end up with dynamite, thinking I could cut in on his action. Turns out it was the guard which was inconvenient but really that’s probably my bad on that one.

I'm never going to be able to play this game, but I'm interested in just how dynamic the story is based on played choice and the moral system. Is there a good guide somewhere that goes into all the differences?

Is there a good guide somewhere that goes into all the differences? It isn't really dynamic or anything, the main story goes the way it goes regardless of what you do. The ending has slight flavor differences based on what end of the honor scale you are at I think, and then you do get to make one significant mission choice in that chapter. Otherwise you occasionally get to choose stuff like "throw dynamite at them" vs. "sneak up and shove a knife up their spine" which has no real story implications.

I also don't mind the "weighty" controls, though as someone who's played a lot of Rockstar (probably more than any other developer) maybe it's a Stockholm Syndrome thing. My justication is that, despite the inevitable drawbacks of it still being just a video game, it feels I'm playing as "a person" in this vast and beautifully detailed "realistic" world. The world design is my favourite part of Rockstar, so I like things that somehow draw more attention to it. The negative press seems to be specifically in the gaming bracket, where people are more familiar design alternatives that may work better. The mainstream press, here in the UK at least, has been praising it to high heaven since it came out.
