Tip: throwing bodies on a camp fire creates a large fire.

Also, I wish there was more incentive to rob a train. Just not enough loot.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Is anyone else playing in first person mode? I'm really enjoying it although you bounce up and down on the horse like you're on a roller coaster so it might cause some motion sickness for some people.

I'm using the map on the companion app for the most part rather than the game because it's easy to zoom in and zoom out.

Basically, I'm going full nerd for this game.

Well, I fought that big hunter in the bar in Valentine like someone in here mentioned. I got that coon-skinned hat!! Love it! This game is crack. I'm fiending to go play but can't until after the kids go to bed tonight.

This game gives me motion sickness and I'm playing with the third person view. I can really only play for an hour or so at a time before I have to take a break. Maybe I'm getting old but I just finished Spider-man and didn't really get that feeling while playing it so I'm not sure what's up.

Plus, coming from Spider-man to this I spent my first few hours accidentally firing off random hip shots when I was trying to run.

Spoiler

I even screwed up one of the first missions. The one where you're sneaking down the snowy mountain with Dutch. I stopped to look around and got behind so I was going to run and catch up but almost fired a shot into Dutch's back instead which alerted everyone at the camp :o

Now that I'm settled in those are fewer and further between but you never know when I'm accidentally going to put a bullet into someone or something. Instead of the "The Shakiest Gun in the West" I'm the "Mistakiest Gun in the West".

Here and there. The game doesn't feel great to me in 1st person with the controller. Better than GTA V for sure, but still feels a bit clunky to me. To be fair, before this release I hadn't played a game on my PS4 in who knows how long and hadn't played a shooter on it in over a year at the very least.



There is an option in the settings that can lessen the head bobbing. Might make riding a horse more bearable for some. I don't know if that option affects on foot movement only or all camera bobbing in 1st person, but you could at least give a try.


My other biggest issue with 1st person is it feels like my horse does not go where I feel like it should be going at times when I turn my head and try to steer. In 3rd person I can swivel around in fights and what not and keep on a safe path. In 1st person it seems like I end up all over the place if I am not looking straight the entire time.

There have been a few games that have given me motion sickness in the past. I haven't gotten it with this one yet. I hope I don't. I also didn't get it with Spider-man. I have gotten it with the Far Cry games and a little with Uncharted.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I can’t do rockstar games in 3rd person. I feel it hurts the game overall.


I see they have acknowledged some PS4 performance issues and are working on fixes. I wish they would say something about this hdr situation.

Underweight. Camp stew everyday, cans of food on the road, sleep a lot. Underweight still.

I guess it's time to start eating all my hunting spoils rather than donating them to camp. Hard to convincingly pull my weight as a feather weight.

I went to eat some fried meals last night and I’m still underweight.

Do you think there could be a bug/glitch in the game that keeping you from gaining weight? I haven't gotten that far along in the game to notice this much.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Just some friendly poker with the guys. Wanted to post it because of how naturally it flows for a side game.

In the first one, after some wild back and forth betting Marston got his queen on the river card to split what should have been Uncle's pot otherwise. Meanwhile Pearson is dead in the water on the reveals before the river and he acts like he knows it.

The second one is just the product of Uncle's short stack and me being able to call anything. I push him all in with ace high while he has a pair, Arthur is disgusted because he knows he's behind, and then the straight flows down the river (to which Uncle has quite the reaction). That's Hold'em for you.

Those are both examples of reactions to community card reveals that can only happen when one or more players has gone all-in - in other words, you aren't gonna see em too often. The money I won here is meaningless at the point I'm at in the game, but I enjoyed it because it was just plain fun.
Rockstar's attention to details is unmatched.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Just a few questions. How do I get a fishing rod? And also I’ve been trying to find a pipe and a fountain pen for two people at the camp but haven’t come across them yet. Are they in a general store or do you just come across them while out in the world?

More specifically, once you get a mission from John Marston, you're on track to get to the fishing rod. You have to do a couple missions with him (all of which are easy and short) and then you'll get a mission after that during which you unlock fishing.

Collectors Guide has arrived. I am very happy. Ton's of great information in there.....tons.

Had a friendly game as well last the camp this morning and John Marston and I were the only two left....I eventually busted him as well.

Good times.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm guessing someone else has stumbled upon this guy by now, but I was exploring the East Coast last night and came to a place called Van Horn Trading Post (I think) and walked into a saloon.

Inside the saloon, there was someone that I have to imagine was inspired by Sloth from The Goonies. I walked in and was like "what the **** is this?" and proceeded to get into a fistfight with him.

Some other stuff I stumbled upon (without giving too much away):

An old abandoned mansion on the water
Found a recipe for incendiary slugs
Found a couple deserted cottages to loot

Also canoed across the river/lake/ocean, whatever the big body of water on the east side of the map is, and stumbled upon some sort of land that already has a bounty on me. I didn't reveal enough of the area to find a name for the land yet. I would have checked it out some more, but I had a legendary pelt in tow and didn't want to risk dying (which I later did anyways lol)
