I really hope we get to kill some klansmen in this game

Wrong time period, really. They'd already been suppressed (govt. doing that? Amazing) when RDR2 is supposed to take place and wouldn't fully take another crack at things until 1915.

I saw a vid on YouTube earlier that was titled something like '11 reasons why we'll never finish RDR2'. Didn't click it, but it's kinda crazy that people are already 'complaining' that the game is too big :confused:

I thought that video was less complaining and more "I'm going to be so busy just doing side stuff I won't even touch the main mission! :D"

lmao that the collectors box doesn't even include the game. I'll end up loving this like I do all rockstar games but gently caress me if they aren't total scam artists

That's so you can get the physical stuff while getting the digital edition.

It's why they call it a collectors box and not collectors edition.

Some game got raked over coals for saying edition before, ha.

I'm fairly certain there was mention of an Xbox One X launching with RDR for free, may be worth keeping your eye out for.

I know at the very least through 11/3 you get 100 dollars off any XBox system when you buy RDR2 at Gamestop. And this will stack with the trade in bonus of $250 bucks when you trade in an XBox One S.

The workplace issues situation has been covered extensively in news items and op eds and doesn’t really belong in a proper review of the experience.

Your beef with your employer, on the other hand, is entirely irrelevant to the product on screen.

I did super sampling on a 1080P screen before I bought my new 4k one (shoutouts to TCL for that 55r615. Hot drat that price) and there was a clear difference when playing 4k stuff and 1080p stuff.

Sub 900p and the worst performance of the four versions, but apparently outside the bigger towns it still holds 30fps pretty steadily. It does look strikingly worse than all the other versions, but if that's the only console you have then it's still apparently perfectly playable and enjoyable.

Actually, they said it looks the worse but is actually a bit more stable framerate wise than the PS4. Shocker, I know.

Controls aren't super intuitive and it can be confusing trying to do the specific thing the game wants me to do. I just did the train robbery mission, and at the end there's 3 banker dudes that you can choose to spare or kill. I was going to let them live, but one guy won't get on the train. A prompt comes up that says "press R2 to aim your weapon", and as soon as I press R2 Arthur shoots the poor guy in the stomach, and then another prompt comes up warning me about how my actions affect my honor and how people react to me. Sorry dude!

Game is real pretty. Cinematic camera is a nice touch, especially since it seems like every mission I've done so far has about 5 minutes of horse riding and exposition before anything happens. Hoping the game opens up soon.

I think I figured this out. Were you holding L2/LT to have your gaze locked on one of them? If you're doing that and tap R2/RT you'll whip your gun out. If you're not and you press R2/RT you fire from the hip.

BTW, the controls those tip pages I've seen mentioned are actually detailed pretty heavily in the manual.

But I know we don't read those anymore. :3:

Oh snap, I just thought he was alone since I did it at night, too. Also i didn't beat him up, i just kept threatening him until he gave up. It's what I did for all the Mark's. I did leave the gold wedding ring he was trying to hide, though.

My Arthur has been a somewhat benevolent Arthur, ha.

I know some people poopoo'd about not having inventory space but I do appreciate your saddlebags having infinite space for your weapons.

Finding out just picking up new weapons didn't replace your old ones was refreshing. Also just being able to get your hat back from it always.

Might depend on which poo poo you're talking about. Haven't messed with the clothing system that much but I think you can store at least two outfits on it? Besides that, items and weapons store automatically.

MonkeyLibFront posted:

Wow wow wow, so replacing weapons just puts them in to your horses saddlebag? I haven't gone akimbo because I didn't want to lose my shotgun.

Yep, I picked up a double barreled shotgun that I had to replace my repeater with. When I checked my saddlebags oh hey there it is.

Why didn't this game make the map easier to open? They've got this big map and I can't just automatically open it with a single button.

Why is the change camera button the biggest button on the controller? I honestly wish that changing cameras wasn't even a button. They could have used that button to autoopen the map.

There are just some really bizarre control choices made that just frustrate me.

Hold down the Start button. You're welcome! Also if you're deep in menus and don't want to keep hitting B/Circle to exit out of all of them? Just hold it down. That's defaulted to Exit.

Okay, I think the mission where you go drinking with Lenny after Micah gets captured may well be the funniest mission I’ve ever done in a rockstar game. Between picking a fight and having it immediately transition to everyone in the bar doing a can-can dance in a line, to getting so blitzed that literally everyone in the bar looks like Lenny, including the busty waitresses, to fleeing the cops and stumbling over a fence while shouting “I’M AN AMERICAN!” I could not stop laughing.

Arthur crashing face first into the wooden pillar *right* in front of him when trying to run from the cops was so funny I thought it was what was supposed to happen.

Finding out you could actually escape just made it better. I'm glad you can replay missions.

Best gun so far is my customised double barrel shotgun with slug ammo. The game doesn't care about kick so you can just rattle off two shotgun blasts no problem and reload in like a second. I'd like a good rifle but so far they're all really slow.

It'll replace what you've currently got equipped I believe.
