The Grizzlies are majestic as hell. I wandered way up to the northernmost point of Spider Gorge, following the river. I was dressed in a panther cloak, sheepskin vest and chaps, and the legendary bear hat. Right at the edge of the map was a pack of wolves not 10 yards from me. Instead of attacking they just stared for a moment and went away.

I was also curious about returning to the Adler ranch and on my way there found two people frozen stiff who were huddled together for warmth and clutching a strange panoramic map.

You have to get a critical shot with a specific type of gun on a three star animal, which you see when you target it. Someone here should have an image of it.

e: here you go

I got tired of looking at my hideous crack whore character (despite my best efforts in the creation screen) so I have already made a new male character. The good news is it looks like you get to keep your money.

Maybe for GTA 6 Rockstar will figure out how to make women.

Tooling around with chargen and ended up making... Sandra Oh I guess? After wrestling with it for ages trying to make anything I looked up and realised "Oh hey I accidentally made Sandra Oh kind of".

Well I doubt anyone else went with her for their cowboy so whatever 19th century Killing Eve let's go.

Borrowed this from a buddy while she's out of town for the weekend. It's ok, but honestly the simmy elements are dragged down by the typical R* gameplay and halfassed ideas. Speaking of one, can I really entirely miss weapons while going through the story? Like, 'one chance, oops now you can literally never get that gun' kinda miss?

Why does hunting suddenly cause huge honor hits for me? I went from maximum honor to around 75% from shooting two ducks.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to knife someone too. I tackle them then mash B until I’m out of stamina and then they knock me off then.

I finally spent some money today. I got a pump shotgun, bow, fishing pole and worms.

Next purchase will probably be the Lancaster since it was my main weapon in the story. I don’t want to invest too much more time into things though since who knows if it’ll be wiped or not.

E: what’s the fastest way to tank my honor? Just murdering dudes in Saint Denis?

essentially anyone complaining about not having access to "better guns" which is even objective, since the only straight up upgrade of any gun is the cattleman>schofield revolver, is wishing they had a big powerful crutch weapon to use against people that are headshotting them with the varmint rifle

You mean Hosea? Josiah is the trickster conman with the weird accent and top hat who constantly leaves the camp and only shows up a handful of times. But yeah.

Also someone earlier was asking about being able to kill domesticated livestock without the honour hit. You can get cows and bulls in the epilogue from Hanging Dog Ranch because it's now run by evil ranchers instead of the O'Driscolls but it seems for everything else you just gotta take the ding.

UnknownMercenary posted:

If you stick around for the camp conversations as the camp disintegrates they do a really good job of selling it with Bill and Javier. Right up to the end Javier still comes off pretty conflicted about it but ultimately sides with Dutch, but Bill is openly aggressive and hostile with Arthur, John and Charles.

hey y'all, my friend copper showed me that bait costs 5x more from the catalogues (in-store and portable) than it does off the shelf online

catalogue is charging us 50c per worm, off-the-shelf they cost 50c per can of 5 (ps4)




Trout fishing in America went to the butcher, and sold trout for $4.25 apiece.

Pearson keeps telling me to go see a Canadian trapper but where the Sam hell is he??? Am I progressing the story too slow? Still in chapter 2, been doing the little side missions that pop up like robbing some inbreds with Javier.

Good lord this game just keeps getting better, if GTA6 is more like this where you actually interact more meaningfully with your crime family then hell yeah

Are these... GIVEN to me, somehow? (because I don't have them...) or am I just unlocking the honor and privilege of spending monies

Phil Moscowitz posted:

This was another classic early game moment for me, wandering up to that cabin and just walking out with that gun. I think it was my first found gun, before the double barrel even.

Feenix posted:

Am I missing some kind of mechanic or is it normal to have to pay a LOT (by game standards) money to fast travel only to log out (sometimes I have to be a dad!!) and then log back in and be REALLY loving FAR from where I fast travelled from and have to pay again, or ride forever.

Is there a way to determine where I start or lock in my location from when I log out?

How am I actually supposed to heal my dead horse in online? Every time I go to the stable it spits out a new zombie of my horse, but after I do a mission it says "no available horses" and sends a scrawny nag. I've tried critically injuring and reviving the horse again, and also critically injuring the horse and letting it die again.

https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60735/Red-Dead-Online-Beta-Week-1-Update

Today we are starting to implement the first set of adjustments to the game including changes specifically geared towards creating a more balanced, fun and rewarding overall experience, across all modes and missions. These include:

Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes and more.

Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today - please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until December 10th to reach all players.

Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets.

Of course our efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. We are conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. We are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and we aim to have fixes for these live next week. We will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback. 

As an added thank you for playing and helping us through the beta period, we're also awarding everyone that joined in to play the Red Dead Online Beta at any point through midnight PST today with a gift of RDO$250 and 15 Gold Bars. Gifts should start arriving today and will hit all eligible players by Friday, December 14th.

I have fun taking the occasional potshot but following someone around to repeatedly gently caress with them is lame as hell imo

Holy poo poo, I have 17.6 gold and $800 this morning. It was more like 1.5 and $202 last night.


What should I buy? Got my brush and varmint rifle. I like how fast it shoots so maybe I should get another weapon with a high fire rate? I also would like to be able to blow off people's heads with an arm cannon. One of the rifles maybe?

I liked it and thought it was really gorgeous, but its also such a weird little segment. You shipwreck on not-Cuba, get taken prisoner by a plantation owner, murder all the guards on the island, murder what must be at least a hundred spanish soldiers, destroy a navy destroyer, and then make your way back to america like it was nothing at all, and then everyone back home just talks about it like you went on vacation to cabo for a weekend. As soon as its over you're just back to the main story drive, and this huge event is just forgotten about.

Fun fact: the very first time I got a haircut in Blackwater in RDO, I walked out the door and was immediately headshot by a guy on the horse who had just been sitting there waiting for me. It is what it is and there aren't really any consequences for being killed by another player (except for horse cargo, I don't know if it's a bug or what but I lose all my pelts and carcasses when killed by another player in RDO, which I thought wasn't supposed to happen).
