its just astounding that someones first reaction to all the amazing details put into this game is "Can they just like not? I have twenty minutes a week to put into this"

amazing details like "press x to eat" and "press x to clean gun"

I just want to be able to continually walk into people and make them fall over like in rdr.

Hearing the old timers say "TARNATION" as they fall over used to make me laugh my rear end off

that's the thing I miss the most in the transition from GTA 4 > GTA 5 so I'm hoping they brought it back

I wandered onto a random camp at night with what looked like a guy standing over a dead body, I thought it might have been an O'Driscoll just finished robbing a guy, so I came up to investigate. The guy wasn't an O'Driscoll but he pulled a gun on me anyways when I got too close, so I assume he murdered the guy and I shot him. That's when the other guy wakes up and starts shooting at me too, turns out he was just sleeping in a weird position and his friend was watching him sleep from an uncomfortably close distance, so that's how I murdered 2 random dudes for no real reason.

I've been doing that, I was just wondering if the body did something more since you can only carry 1 big corpse and 2 small ones on the horse. I just feel weird leaving skinned carcasses littering the landscape

fun fact if you do that it will attract birds to feast on the corpse! useful if you want to collect feathers for crafting

There's that surviving O'Driscoll guy in the first chapter, can't you choose whether to kill him or take him captive? Maybe I'm misremembering and you don't have the option to take him with you, it was like 2 in the morning after the midnight launch when I played that part

Man hunting in this game is miserable when you're looking for one specific animal. Been trying to get 3 perfect rabbit pelts for 2 days now and every rabbit I find is 1 or 2 stars, and the rare 3 star rabbit I do find just magically doesn't die from a single varmint rifle shot

There are environmental factors as well as equipment you can use to your advantage to make rarer animals spawn more likely. In one of the very first missions if you loot properly you can find Revolver of Serendipity which gives a nice percentage increase. Also rare rabbits spawn more likely nearer to body of water and dusk/dawn

Yeah I think I'm just going to stop trying to do this hunting challenge until I get that trinket that gives you better quality animal skins

except the dialogue at the start of the quest really didn't make it seem like the foreman was taking me on as a productive member of the work force. he used words that said he needed someone vicious to get the job done. i didn't think i'd be held to the same bedtime curfews as his workers, seeing as i was his mad dog let off the leash sort of guy? I also had $100 in my pocket to give him, you'd think he'd be able to stop reading his diary for two seconds to take the cash.

well I hope you learned a valuable lesson that when the game tells you to gently caress off you should either gently caress off or get ready for a fight

I found a broken NPC in the small shittier saloon in Valentine. He was standing at the bar and his face looked weird, like he was wearing a fake face, it was super shiny and it didn't move. He was talking though because he was the only person there and telling a story about some guy or other that he knew. So I tried to pick a fight with him but every time I insulted him with funnier and funnier cowboy insults he would just sound sad "ohhhhmmmmmuhh" and didn't do anything.

Downs syndrome cowboy.

If that's the guy I'm thinking of that's the big guy that you beat the everloving poo poo out of in that early Valentine mission, the big bar fight. Some NPCs around town mention he's been "different" ever since your fight, and you can randomly see him around town after that. You literally pounded his brains into mush

I swear I have killed 3 enemies in 10 seconds multiple times with throwing knives but the weapon master challenge won't proc for me. Does it have to be done in the open world and not during a mission or something? Kind of annoying because you can only hold 8 and there aren't that many places to restock them. Also there are clearly six throwing knives in Arthur's ammo stock at camp but when you grab them you only get 2, wtf!

I'm hoping there's a mission where you have to fight a hospital ward full of blind and deaf quadriplegics otherwise I'm never going to get that challenge done

So I sold that massive black horse because I thought I could afford a better one. Nope, the only one I could afford at the time was a tiny average horse for $15. When I rode with the gang, they were at least 4ft taller than me. I was embarrassed to be around them.

I love my tiny dinky horse, I'm riding him for the rest of the game

Similarly, the very early mission with Hosea that unlocks the fence:

Only after looting the last bit updoors did I sorta do a double take and realize "Wait, if this game is pedantic as it's seemingly been, I better close every drawer and cupboard or else they'll notice!" Sure enough, Morgan comments on coming in and out unnoticed. I then proceed to drive the stolen wagon right in front of the house destroying any effort to be sneaky.

Game cool and good and I'm happy with it. Root toot.

Is the Varmint Rifle not supposed to kill animals in one headshot or am I just an idiot? I haven’t one-shot any deer with it even though I think I remember the study info telling me I should use it, and even rabbits aren’t falling to it, though I may be accidentally shooting the poor things’ ears off instead.

It should be able to, I've done it before. It's possible that either your aim was a bit off and you just grazed them, or you were far enough away that the bullet didn't do enough damage to kill, I've definitely had rabbits survive varmint rifle shots before

Yeah bounty hunters are fun if you're just wandering around doing random poo poo but if you're trying to hunt for specific animals then it's a huge pain in the rear end

You also have to make sure you have horse reviver handy in case you have a horse like mine that either doesn't give a gently caress or has secretly been trained by the Secret Service because that fucker will jump in front of bullets for me

My unintentional strategy is to aim assist + flick up to the hat. I harvest the best shot off hat and wear it until I lose it/shoot off a better hat. Survival of the fittest hat.

These 2 guys were threatening me out in the wilderness so I prepped up the cool revolver draw Deadeye move you can do, lined up 2 shots to their heads and ended up shooting both their hats off

Never have I felt more badass while at the same time feeling like a stupid rear end in a top hat
