Finished this on xbox onex and man that was an experience in 4k, most of it was spoiled but I loved the non spoiled moments like (dont read the spoilers if you havent played it why would you) there's a cabin out west in animal country and OH NO ITS FULL OF GRIZZLY. I did kill that bare I did, via sheer panic stabbing. loving horror movie moment. found a tiny church I guess for tiny christians and then some naked swamp people came at me, started housing them with a vengeance (one of them one-shot me with a stab in the neck tho, drat naked swamp folk) I get that everyone dies but they loving also killed Roach near the end  I had been spoiled that most others die but man, she aint do nothing. Leave her aloneFavorite mission in any game in a LONG time, going after Jack in force when he gets nicked. Ya don't steal a boah ! Fantastic experience, lovely game

I have 38 gold and rewards level 25 as of tonight. If I make it, I'm good. If not, that's fine too. I have skipped the hardest grindiest stuff and focused on what was realistic to do. I think one of the worst parts of online is that there doesn't seem to be much downside to starting a new free roam session versus fast travel, especially if you can sell skins. But the load times are really annoying.

FFS, started this again and have just accidentally cooked and eaten my solitary perfect rat carcass which I got from the clearing the pub out mission in Not New Orleans. What an absolute bellend. Accidentally stumbled on the serial killer lair as well. I never found that first go around. Spent HOURS this week looking for a perfect cougar. Finally got my massive satchel now though. What a lovely game this is. I wish there'd been more people up in the snow though, it's stunning up there but very very empty. Where is good for cardinals and woodpeckers? And rats I suppose?

il serpente cosmico posted:I have an NVME drive and 32 gigs of RAM. RDR2 is using about 4.5gigs of my VRAM (11 available). I tried switching to DX12 and it made the problem worse. Stuttering update: I started playing yesterday in earnest, and the stuttering actually doesn't seem to be an issue at all. It was happening in the benchmark test, but in actual gameplay, the framerate is smooth. At 1440p I'm playing with everything turned up to Ultra, except water simulation, which I bumped down one notch (it eats up a ton of performance at ultra). I'm also not using any MSAA or FXAA The game looks stunning and typically runs between 55-70fps. The dips below 60 don't bother me because G-Sync is great. I'm really enjoying the game thus far. I'm currently in chapter 2, and I'm impressed with the actors performances and the world Rockstar built. The character models and performance capture isn't quite part with Naughty Dog, but the world detail is incredible considering how expansive the game is. I turned off auto lock-on after the first gun-fight, and I'm having more fun manually aiming - I never have a great time with Naughty Dog's gunplay because the lock-on is too automatic and boring, but switching to free-aim has made it more enjoyable for me. I'm looking forward to playing through it now! I didn't love the original RDR so I hadn't been super hyped to try out RDR2, but all of its praise made it impossible to pass up.

I wish there were more things for me to spend money on. I feel like a total rich guy 1%er with 3 thousand bucks, meanwhile Dutch is harping about how they need more money and there’s like 20k in the community pot. Also I don’t feel super compelled to do stupid robbery type poo poo where I know I’m gonna make a scene. I think one thing this game needs is a reoccurring time sensitivity to have some kind of income rolling in, so that I feel pressured to like, rob a fuckin train, or pull random stick ups on people.

Money's pretty scarce early on, and the game almost makes you feel like you're going to have to do robberies and side activities and stuff to buy all the cool things you want. Then suddenly there's a mission that just straight up gives you $2000 and you can hardly spend it all even if you try. Ultimately, I don't honestly mind that the game plays that way, because it would be less fun if you actually had to grind, and it's not like "protagonists earn a huge windfall and the future looks bright only for something bad to happen" isn't a tried and true formula for a story about a gang of criminals, but it is kind of weird for dutch to complain about being poor no matter how much money you dump into the camp. I mean I guess it's not that weird because dutch is an rear end in a top hat, but I don't think that's happening by design, it comes off as an oversight.

Started back in on the Online of this after a while not playing and it's nice to see everything working so much better. Animals aplenty, camp moving / appearing whenever you ask it to. It's seriously night and day, and arguably as of now this is one of the best persistent world games I've ever played whether you're going at it solo or in MP / co-op. Interesting how the Roles shook out tho. Not really ruining my experience but alarming how contradictory they can be. For instance as a Trader you'll have a challenge to bring carcasses to Cripps, but the same day you'll have a challenge to not kill animals for 24 hours for Henrietta and the Naturalist role. This honestly seems like a design choice on Rockstar's part to gatekeep players from maxing out gold as much as they might have been able to before IMO. There's still plenty of poo poo to do though so whatever. On that note, when Henrietta is mad at you, how do you get back on her good side? Past two times I've gone to visit her, she's gassed me.

Just wait a couple of minutes without killing anything and her icon will light up again and you can talk to her. It can be a little buggy though, sometimes it feels like she'll gas you for no reason and others I've just come in from a critter murder spree and she's happy to see me. For the challenges you can only do 7 of the general and 9 of the role specific ones per day so I guess the thinking is it's up to the player to optimise which set of challenges synergise best with each other and work from there but honestly I usually only ever knock out a couple of the easiest ones to keep my streak going. Also there's a new halloween outlaw pass out today but apparently XP gains are bugged so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ e: xp might be fixed? Au Revoir Shosanna fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Oct 20, 2020 |

Argh, I'm in the middle of TactiMurderLooting DC and (sometimes) NYC in Division 2, now I have to swap back to CowboyMurderLooting for the new Outlaw Pass.  I feel a need for self-quarantine coming on... GeorgieMordor posted:Started back in on the Online of this after a while not playing and it's nice to see everything working so much better.

Remember, that's 24 *in-game* hours. Go herbing, sightseeing, tranking and harvesting, whatever, if you ride slow (or walk) you can avoid horsicular crittercide, and if you stay away from cougar/gator/bear country, you should be able to both not get et and not have to Glock a hungry boi. As noted above, you get gassed you're just on a short time-out until she forgets why she did it. At Lagras, I tend to wake up across the river, and often there's a poacher op popping up on the Lagras side, north-northeast a bit, and this can occupy your time before going back to do some bidness. And once you're done with her, murder and skin the nearest gator, just to hear her shriek.  Wish the AI animals would attack NPCs, I'd be bringing her the harvested Legendary gators to let her make friends.

I hope lobbies break again soon. This game is a miserable experience with other people around but maybe it’s just me and my play style. All I want to chill in the Wild West but maybe that’s far too much to ask for. Yesterday I was free-roaming around Rhodes and somehow got insta-ported to New Austin along with a bunch of other folks where we were immediately blown up by xXXseperothXXx’s dynamite. Good times.

Six? More like eight, unless more levels dropped on me after I logged off. Certainly started at the higher number last night, spent a little over an hour mainly screwing off and doing simple dailies, plus a roadblock a shine op at Bolger Glade and a secesh holdout camp about 50 yards east of Rhodes, didn't even get a hint of a Legendary, and yet I finished at Halloutlaw 18.

Gotta say, letting you buy a pass level with currency that isn't that hard to accumulate is rather decent of them. I haven't played this COD season at all because the last BP burned me out grinding and worrying about it. Their currency can only come from the pass and it's not realistic to get enough to buy more than a couple levels. Meanwhile I was 8 levels from the last OP level and just bought it all out.

Guess I need to go chase the Halloween cosmetic items and weapon and such, too.

I moved my camp and moonshine shack from the Grizzlies to Bayou Nwa right before the Halloween pass dropped and it feels like easy mode by comparison. More revenuer spawn locations, more flavoring ingredients growing nearby, at least 3 different species of predator in the area, and the terrain is a lot easier to navigate during deliveries. I can't think of a single reason now to recommend the Grizzlies shack unless you love shipping your moonshine over lumpy, winding goat paths, or you're just a huge fan of towering cliffs and switchbacks that double the amount of time it takes to get to a nearby town.

So, after over a year absence I put in the disk(s) and reinstalled RDR2 on my PS4 in order to do some online co-op with friends. I don't know how, but somehow I already had a lot of gold and linking my Prime account probably helped. I managed to buy Collector, Bounty Hunter, Trader and Naturalist duties pretty much immediately. Rockstar keeps giving me al kinds of vouchers in-game as well, so I was able to get a deal on a good (Criollo) horse and I was able to buy some weapons. I like the gaming, it's still very pretty, I do'n't get ganked at all (playing with defensive tag) and white flag raised. If I wouldn't enjoy riding around on my horse, trying for those daily challenges etc. I can see that it could get grindy (and it might in the future) but for now weeee! There is still a lot to do in the game, but not everything makes sense for me yet. In the main menu, if I click on POSSE UP I just go to free roam anyway. Is the big menu-button FREE ROAM different from POSSE UP? I created a persistent posse in order to more easily play with my friends, but I still have to keep re-inviting them. I don't see why I paid redneck dollars for that persistence then. What's the use? When I log off, will my friends still belong to the posse or contribute to our shared camp? I guess not. Way to ignore a great way to build some more community, Rockstar. I donated a considerable amount of meat and money for supplies to Cripps. I now have a 100/100 shipment. If I deliver it, the system says I will make 62 dollars on it (I think 15 more if I take a long distance shipment). Why would I ever do this again? It seems like losing money. Also, do my Posse friends get this amount as well if we deliver it or do they need to have bought the Trader role? Also can we get ganked by others when doing the shipment? I think it only costs 2 dollars to have Cripps move camp. Sounds to me like a good alternative to paying 5 times as much for fast travel, or am I missing something? For the naturalist role, I'm supposed to not kill animals. Why put something in the game that goes against one of the main parts of what makes this game fun? Also, I don't really see a penalty here other than some voice lines from Harriet, so... why would I spare any animals? I also bought the Halloween Pass with gold that for some reason the game keeps throwing at me. Is there any reason to ever buy something with real-world money? I think the normal Outlaw pass gives a return on investment if you get high enough with that. I suppose the Halloween Pass does not do that? I may have been foolish not to hold on to the gold until after the Halloween Pass finishes and a new Outlaw Pass is available? Anyway still great to be able to play this. Hope it will be even better on PS5.
