Would you like to play a game?



Tried to play this three times on my PS4 and the game will not go past about 1 minute or so into the first gameplay segment without crashing. In Googling this issue it seems like there have been other people with this issue but no fixes have actually solved the problem. Anyone else run into this? I feel like I'm going to have to wait for a patch now.

No bounty for beating a dude peddling eugenics pamphlets in the middle of a busy street. As it should be.

So I saved the game before fighting some dude (who appeared to have robbed and murdered a couple, so I figured I could kill him without recourse), and then after fighting him glitched out and got stuck inside a wagon, so I loaded the save. After loading the save I was in a completely different place, and the destination I was heading towards (the trapper) is no longer on the map. What the gently caress?

edit: Btw, I found some creepy blind man who said some important sounding vague stuff. I gave him a dollar.

Isn't it so you can drag the rod around or up to deal with a fish while it fights? You can reel faster by pulling the rod up and reeling when it isn't fighting too.

No, you just use left stick for that. I figured it out, GRIP REEL plus spin right stick to work your lures.

Anyone with an LG OLED and a PS4 Pro want to comment on using HDR vs not? I saw all the news about fake HDR. When it's on, night time is fairly gray and sort of washed out. When it's off using the in game toggle, it's so dark out. I have the in game OLED brightness setting at 300 like recommended.

I'm also confused by the SDR brightness setting screen. It's the standard make sure you can just see the logo while also seeing the contrast bars. The logo box just stays pure black though no matter the setting. It is implying that I'll see the R*.

You should definitely see the R*. Do you have some weird settings enabled on the TV itself? Go to rtings.com and look up your model to find a good start for calibration settings (although they always differ a little from unit to unit). Pretty much every TV has terrible settings enabled out of the box

edit: and I'm not on an OLED but I think "fake" or not, I prefer the game with HDR enabled. All the colors seem way more cartoony with it turned off

It's configured with Rtings and other online sources for different modes. For SDR gaming in using this https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/736o62/lg_oled_c7b7_2017_calibrated_settings_for_xbox/

With the SDR brightness I just say a big black square for the logo with nothing in it. All the lines below show up correctly.

Edit: I shouldn't need to change anything on my TV or the PS4, just the game setting for HDR right? Assuming the TV is calibrated correctly of course. My SDR Switch gaming has never been a problem. I think I've only done HDR content with the PS4 though.

Just FYI for anyone spending hours trekking out to get the rare white horse - if you don't care about colour, it's the exact same as other Arabians that you can buy from a stable. If you can't afford one, get to chapter 3 or 4 (and stop wasting your time selling rabbit pelts and belt buckles for $1) and you'll have plenty enough.

I got all the way out there to find out it's the same as the horse I was already riding :sigh: and there was "too much activity" so I couldn't even hunt whatever legendary was around.

hi, it's me, your uncle
Rename this thread to Jed Jead ReJanktion 2: The Jankening, because I am going to take a break for a few days, or maybe until a patch hits.

Spent the last 2 hours in the legendary buck area, west of Strawberry trying to find the legendary buck out there. It drops an antler that is needed for a charm that improves the quality of all pelts you skin by 1 star. Yet, I'm in the area according to the official hardcover strategy guide I bought (like a dummy,) YouTube, and the in game legendary animals map Hosea gives you. Four times in 2 hours I got the 'you're in legendary animal territory, but there is too much activity to track the animal.' The legendary buck drawing doesn't even appear on that part of the map like the legendary wolf and bear did.

What gives? What arbitrary mechanic am I failing to manipulate to drive away all the other animals in the area so I can track this stupid buck? I've been patient, I walked on foot, slow walked on horse back, used cover scent lotion, camped out and waited. I've done everything I can think of but I still don't get anything. The area in particular is the Black Bone Forest directly west of Mount Shan, at least that's the area that triggers the message. These cryptic, nebulous, and otherwise inconsistent mechanics are so very disappointing.

I managed but the moment I got the pelt on the horse some bounty hunters showed up. Fairly certain it was just random. It's only a $60 bounty though, maybe it's more impossible with higher bounties.

I saw that message in the northeast corner of the map where there's a legendary moose or some poo poo and I guessed it showed up because a cougar was loving up some dudes on horseback. After I killed the cougar it let me track the legendary.

Correlation != Causation so I can't say for certain that it had anything to do with that, but there was quite the commotion while that cougar was loving poo poo up.

Man, it's really loving dumb that you can kill a guy from a distance with an arrow at night and instantly everybody in the area knows exactly where you are and starts shooting you. Like yeah they should see the dude die but then they should have to search the area to find you. Why bother having a silent ranged weapon when enemies react like you fired a buffalo rifle?

No bounty for blowing his head clean off with a sawed off shotgun either. In fact I said "good day mister!" to the constable that was standing in the doorway just to his left. All is right with the world. But bumping into someone on the street on foot instantly escalates into a 7 on 1 fistfight that I have to shoot my way out of, leading to my horse dying, leading to a $500 bounty in Lemoyne, leading to me surrendering to bounty hunters because they caught me fishing, leading to Hosea breaking me out of jail, leading to me bumping into someone on the street again and Hosea shooting two lawmen dead before I could surrender.

In conclusion, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game on contrasts.

As part of a story mission I just boarded a riverboat and played some Poker with a $300 buy-in -- given the detail of the environment there I'd be surprised if it was just a one-off mission location and wasn't something you could revisit on your own time, but who knows

It really sounds like my tendency to screw around in early game as much as possible is really going to pay off in this game.

It would pay off more is so many guns were not plot locked from purchase once you have the means. So I should proooobably press on to at least chapter 3.

"I saved a guy from a beartrap! That means my early trip to Strawberry gives me a free item from the general store! *all three whole guns in the store are Red Locked* ... Well, at least I can get this cool outfit! *10% discount honor not high enough*... This is not how 'pick anything you want' works :sigh:"

My brother had his horse teleported onto a moving train when he loaded a save.

The horse didn't make it, I think.

My horse names are Hammer (starter), Bricks(cheap $15 horse for sale in stable tutorial), and Nails. Nails is the War Horse the snake oil bounty had. Mine now!

I've named all my horses after Greek figures in my black hat playthrough. My giant raven-black shire horse was named Erebus (after the god of the dark). Erebus lasted me into chapter three but died in an ambush from the Lemoyne Raiders, so any Raider I see now is hosed beyond hosed. My fastest horse is Minos, and my general horse to go hunting or working on is Hestia.

e: if you haven't used them or don't have them yet, get yourself a hatchet or a tomahawk.
