i have a metal cased ultimate edition reserved at gamestop and my fear that they will run out is probably gonna make me go miserably stand in stench tonight

does anyone have experience with going out in public that can assuage my crippling anxiety?

does a reservation actually mean a reservation and it will be there if I wait until Friday afternoon?

Wait - you said metal cased, but you also said ultimate edition. The only metal case edition I heard of was the collectors box, which doesn't actually come with a copy of the game.

You did get a copy of the game, right?

the ultimate edition comes in a fancy sleeved steel case and is pretty much why I chose physical over digital

i'm aware the collectors box only contains an assortment of worthless garbage

i drove all the way home on my lunch break just to play for a couple minutes

also because i wanted to catch back up to where i left off last night since toggling supersampling on and off will close the application and reset whichever mission you're on

Is that an option on PS4 Pro? I tried to find the typical resolution vs framerate option but didn't see any.

yeah it's in the PS4's display settings

I don't know what people are on about the game looks amazing

I didn't see it. I'll check when I get home. I don't have a 4K TV, so maybe it just wasn't an option..

called out of work yesterday so i could keep playing, haven't seen the light of day since Friday

game is so goddamn good 9.999/10

every complaint I had was remedied by me getting good, mostly just getting very familiar with the controls and dialing in my sensitivity settings

i guess if i still had one outstanding issue it's that cash eventually seems to become pointless but maybe there's some big ticket stuff i haven't come across. now that the camp is fully upgraded the only expenses i really have are bounties sitting at about $500-$1000 but why even pay them off? you can see bounty hunters coming from a mile away and pick them off easily

oh also this game is begging for a PC release and I will probably double dip and build a new rig when that happens

also i missed the last 1000 posts does everyone already know about the riggs station bridge train robbery strategy?

rap music
Mar 11, 2006


easy money, usually about $2-300 for a couple minutes work and can be done from basically the beginning of the game afaik

catch a train to riggs station from any other station, preferably during the day as there will be more passengers to rob

when the cutscene ends you'll be standing next to a loot pinata desperately pleading for you to gorge yourself upon its sweet innards

"BUT HOW?!" you stupidly exclaim with your dumb idiot brain and sexy mouth

well whoa there pardner shut those soft lucious lips for one goddamn second and let me tell you

from the train platform run up to the engineer driving the sumbitch and steal that bastard

drive it out onto the bridge and stop halfway out, this ensures that any responding law will try to apprehend you from the road about 100' below you, powerless to stop you

you can take your sweet time looting all of the high $ items in cupboards and chests like hair tonics, snake oils, health tonics and the like

the real money is from the passengers though

walk down the aisle robbing each and every one of them

they all have about $10-12 in cash, first level yellow tonics, usually platinum or gold valuables for selling to the fence

PROTIPS

tell your horse to stay because it will invariably plummet to its death tryin to follow you

all of the passengers are hold outs. unless you're a big pussy execute them all mercilessly for extra cash and valuables :clint:

i'm sure im forgetting something but you'll figure it out

My Arthur has become a serial killer because it's so profitable and the matriarch type at the camp keeps complaining about me killing innocents. Also, if you're ever in Strawberry, rent a room and watch Arthur have a depressing conversation with the mirror.

although i haven't tried it, it doesn't seem like being friendly in this game gives you anything

i still have access to all the stranger quests so far as I can tell even though im a complete bastard outside of them

are stirrups increasing or deceasing the rate of stamina core depletion on my thoroughbred

like am I trading endurance for speed, or am I improving both

you have to first identify them as perfect specimens and then get a perfect kill using the appropriate weapon and ammo

hunting via the prescribed method is for colossal loving idiots imo and that includes you, dear reader

the way I do it is find my three star kill, flush them out with thundering horse hooves, and use dead eye to bury an arrow into their skull at full speed

I don't really understand Dead Eye now that I've upgraded it and have to paint targets manually. Do I shoot when I release Dead Eye? Do I just hit R2 once to shoot all my painted targets?

paint your targets and let 'er rip with R2

it's worth mentioning that i have noticed that activating dead eye, NOT painting and instead firing off a single round with R2 on the appropriate forehead will restore a portion of the dead eye bar as if you made the shot without it
