Diogines posted:I played some of the older Grand Theft Autos and very much liked them, but I never played 4 or 5. I have heard some uh... things about 5 which has me cautious to try this game. So I have a few questions: 1.) not even available until like November sometime and completely optional, and nobody knows if it will be any good yet. Does not affect single player at all as far as I know. 2.) irrelevant for single player except for some barbie options and a gun/horse or something. Not at all important. 3.) irrelevant for single player, dunno yet for online but undoubtedly yes. 4.) this is a prequel with some characters and locations you'll recognize if you played RDR1 but it won't matter if you don't. You may miss some foreshadowing here or there for stuff that happens in RDR1 but it doesn't actually affect gameplay of this game, just neat little callbacks sometimes. Not knowing the future of some characters will let you have some dramatic tension when you're not sure if someone will die when the rest of us know they won't. That said, it wouldn't hurt to maybe read a summary, but you're not going to miss out if you don't. There's continuity here but it's backwards and not a large plot device supposedly. Don't worry about online/shark cards if you're not interested. They are not at all required and are completely ignorable without affecting the single player game one bit. Plus it doesn't even exist yet.

Some super early game thoughts - I dawdled through about 2 hours and didn't get really anywhere because I kept going around talking to everyone at every opportunity, so I'm still in like the very beginning of the prequel. Specifically I just got back from shooting the O'Doyle Rules gang at their big camp. So, not at all far.
So yeah, despite not being anywhere, and even with a couple of those complaints, I'm enjoying it. A couple of my criticisms probably aren't exactly fair this early in the game where there hasn't been time to flesh things out, so I'm hoping it changes a bit. Working a half-day today so should get some more time in later. Diogines posted:Thank you very much for your answers Day Man and shortspecialbus. One more question.

Basically you hold R2 and as soon as your crosshair crosses the wolf it will automatically fire. It's rear end backwards until you get used to it. Same goes for Lasso. There's a control option about it you can toggle. See This link for some more info.

Calaveron posted:So would I need to set my secondary account as primary play it on my actual main account? What about all the digital games I've bought on my actual primary account Why would you buy a game on a secondary account?  Unless it's like a family member/roommate's account I guess.The way it works is whatever games are in the Library of the "Primary Account" on the PS4 can be played by any/all users on the console regardless of if they have PS+ or are just local accounts or whatever. Any games owned by other accounts can only be played when logged in as those accounts. My wife and I have two PS4s and two xboxes and we're each primary on one. We tend to buy games that we'll both want to play but not at the same time (i.e. no multiplayer) as discs to avoid this issue so that we're not stuck on whichever console the person bought it on. But if I'm logged into "her" PS4 I can play all my games so long as they're downloaded. She just can't unless she bought them too, which is only the case for multiplayer ones. If you're one person with multiple accounts I don't know why you would do that. I'm not sure how many times you can change which account the primary is on the console before you need to contact support. I know xbone only allows a couple changes before you need to contact support and ask them to allow you to do more.

Calaveron posted:When I first made my PSN account I was living in a different country. When I moved to the US and got different debit and credit cards I could not buy stuff on the PSN store because the billing address was in a different country. Up until relatively recently I could still use US PSN cards to buy stuff on my original account but either something changed or I screwed up because now it won't let me so I created a new account on the same ps4 with my actual current address to buy poo poo with Ah, that makes sense. I'm sorry I doubted you  I'm not sure what you can do about this - you could try contacting PSN support but I don't think they're going to do a lot to help you. If you always want to play games with the account that doesn't have this, just set the other one to primary and then you'll be able to play all your games on your desired account since it'll have both access to the older games on its own library as well as the newer ones on the secondary account. The downside is you'll need to switch user every time you turn the drat system on. Sort of. If I'm playing one of my "owned" games on my wife's PS4 and I put the PS4 to sleep, it'll power back on as her, but if I go back to the game that was suspended, it'll be where I left it as me and you won't need to switch accounts. For games that aren't suspended you'll have to though. It's not too terrible of a process but could get annoying fast.

How much progress do you lose if you die to, say, a loving enormous unkillable pack of highly intelligent and coordinated wolves after you've been hunting and gathering pelts, harvesting herbs, and grabbing random loose items for 45 minutes? As far as I can tell, I lost 100% of that.

Another question - is there any way to get to where I can draw a bow for more than about a second before my feeble cowboy muscles make my aim go flying around the screen? Is there any way in general to make aim less shaky, especially with a bow, even before it strains his poor muscles? Also how do I stop ruining perfect pelts? I thought headshots with a bow would do it but they're all getting knocked down a star as soon as I kill the animal.

I am getting so loving frustrated that it's impossible to do almost anything without getting a bounty. Standing on the side of the trail talking to some guy who wants a ride (and was probably going to steal my horse.) Some other guy on a horse comes by, decides i'm in his way, and starts shooting at me. I shoot him back. The guy I was talking to shoots me, so I shoot him back. Some other guy on the trail rides by and I get a "MURDER WITNESS" notification. I try to get him to not turn me in, he won't, so I shoot him in the head. Another person comes by and gets away before I can figure out where he want and I have an enormous bounty. All I did was stand and talk to someone. Reload a save. Go into Valentine. Park my horse at a hitching post. A stagecoach starts screaming that I'm in his way despite being parked. Sheriff runs out of the building and starts shooting at me along with the rest of the town. Reload a save. Decide to go hunting. Two lawmen carrying a prisoner in a wagon drive by and start shouting at me. I try to defuse and move away, they decide I took too long and start shooting me. I run away and end up with a bounty anyways. Turn the game off for a while. I know bounties aren't the end of the world and all but it's loving tiresome that doing absolutely nothing anywhere near other people runs a high risk of you getting either killed or thrown in jail. They need to patch it to lighten the gently caress up. I'm mostly enjoying the game but this poo poo is getting really really loving tiresome. Edit: Also as far as I can tell the Bandana only protects you from being arrested for stealing a can of soup. Stealing a wagon still ends up with a witness or two you need to try to chase down and ultimately get a bounty since you can't seem to do anything except shoot them in the head if you're on a wagon since the usual options for witnesses don't seem to exist, and if you're anywhere near a road, the wide open west apparently has a population density similar to New York City so you're guaranteed more witnesses to deal with. ssb fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Oct 28, 2018 |

Qubee posted:same exact poo poo happens to me, when the game is being good, it's incredibly good. but then all of a sudden, things take a swing and nonstop bullshit keeps happening. I've personally never had people get angry at me for blocking them, and the few times it does happen, I defuse and move out the way and it turns out okay. you might be super slow with your reaction times which is why they're popping you full of holes. When I'm paying attention I'm quick with the "defuse" reaction. If I'm looking the wrong way because I'm in the process of hitching up my horse and there's a lot of people around, the odds of it locking on to the correct person when I hold left trigger to get the defuse option is low, which is what happened with the stagecoach in town. The one where I was hunting I don't know what happened, it was maybe a super short window or I didn't hear the first time he said it because I was looking around for a 3 star squirrel in eagle vision. The one where I was talking to the dude the defuse option just didn't work, I did it, told him to calm down or some poo poo, and he drew and started firing  Most of the time it works fine. I think I just had bad luck where I ran into 3 rear end in a top hat AIs in a row. I should say I'm not having this problem most of the time - it's just really noticeable when it happens a bunch in a row like that or when I'm just trying to quietly get somewhere for some reason without causing a ruckus. I still like the game but it has the same problem GTA5 did where it's almost impossible to be a law abiding citizen because proximity to other people is a lethal offense.

Yeah omniscient lawmen and even witnesses who see me do poo poo nowhere near them are annoying sometimes. I'm trying to do a playthrough as largely a paragon of virtue except when I'm in a mission that requires otherwise so it's not coming up a lot, but I expect that when I do my Rootin' Tootin' playthrough it'll be a thing. I will say that while the controls are still hot garbage I've gotten pretty used to them and aside from LT occasionally locking onto the wrong person for "defuse" they're OK. Deadeye mode really needs the "Press R1/RB to tell it where to shoot" option that you get from main quest to be useful though.

If I'm playing a rootin tootin cowboy can't I kick down the door, consequences be damned? You can try pressing circle/B to kick a locked door but it doesn't work on all of them.

Deified Data posted:Can anyone explain in a bit more detail how camp donations work? Like what purpose those reserves serve? You use them for upgrades from the ledger that give you various benefits. The money for those comes out of camp funds, and if there's not enough in camp funds but there is in your wallet, the balance will come out of your wallet. Do the "First Things First" upgrade for Dutch's quarters first since it'll make everyone else donate more. Which still won't be much. Other ones that I think are useful early on are the Leather Tools so that Pearson can do crafting for you, ammo cart upgrades which will let you refill multiple ammo types and Arthur's quarters, which will give you fast travel. You'll need to spend money to refill the ammo and medicine I think, while food will fill up from you bringing food to the camp most. I'm not 100% on that mechanic. You won't be able to do the ledger stuff I mentioned until you've collected at least one debt for Ze German. Try to make sure you have at least $220 or something like that in the kitty at the time so that you can immediately upgrade Dutch's quarters since it'll force you to upgrade something right off the bat.

I'm fine with the pacing, I got mostly used to the controls and aside from some weirdness here and there, they're fine. The one thing that bugs me is just that it's sometimes hard to just be a normal person, which is a thing i like to do sometimes in rockstar games. Just mind my own business and just enjoy Valentine or something. Talk to people, walk around, buy poo poo, etc. But that gets blown apart when while in the animation to hitch my horse to a post, which can take a bit of time if he needs to jiggle the horse just into the right spot, a carriage decides that the parking spot is in its way and yells and screams so much that before I'm able to lock onto the right person to try to defuse after having to wait out the hitching post animation, the sheriff comes barreling out of the building and shoots me in the head. It's pretty hilarious when it's a one-off here and there but it can be frustrating when crap like that happens multiple times in a row. I made a big whiny post about it earlier. But it's the sort of poo poo I just want to vent about occasionally, not return my copy or any sort of weird poo poo like that. All in all, game is good, and that stuff is largely pretty minor as far as things go. I'm dawdling a ton and just enjoying the world.

Wizard of Wang posted:I think it's probably a few little GLI chest then, I personally have found it easy to go about doing normal things, just don't run so much, think about reality if you run into people you are good ng to start a fight. Thing is I'm not running, that's the problem. I'm hitching my standing-still horse to a hitching post. Or standing still in a conversation with some guy who wants a ride on my horse on a trail in the middle of the woods. Or just standing still on the side of the road listening to conversations when someone plows into me. poo poo that happens when I bonk into them with my horse or whatever I can understand, I don't get worked up about that. quick edit: seriously I don't get that worked up about it, especially when it's a one-off here and there. I got super frustrated that one time because it was like 4 things in a row back-to-back and the only one I could really have done anything about was move off the trail to look for elks with my binoculars so that the prisoner carriage wouldn't have been right there and I could have stopped looking through the binoculars when they started yelling, I thought they'd surely just go past. The rest of the things were all stuff that had to be done right at that exact spot and I was standing still for all of them. It was just bad luck. It's not happening constantly. Bardeh posted:Is there any reason not to use split point bullets? They cost nothing to craft and don't seem to have any drawbacks compared to normal bullets. I can't remember if it's a 1:1 crafting ratio but if it is, the downside is crafting time. So if that doesn't bug you, just sit in front of a pretty sunset at a camp and mash button until all your bullets are split. They're definitely worthwhile, especially early on, since they slow your deadeye meter. ssb fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Oct 29, 2018 |

I just feel there are some inconsistencies here and there, plus using "X/Square" as the "cancel/defuse" rather than the "B/Circle" that's used for cancel in almost every other game on the planet is a bit counterintuitive and takes time to adjust to. That said I'm probably 20 hours into the game and the controls really aren't bothering me anymore so it's not like it's an impossible control scheme, just a bit confusing and unintuitive.
