Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Amazing detail in this game

What system are you on and are you using HDR or Game Mode? Looks real nice.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

That guy got me too! But as I was chasing him, I ran into somebody with my horse and killed them, but there were 3 cops right there so I surrendered.

What happens if you surrender? Is there just jail time and pay what the bond would be?

It's never even crossed my mind to surrender.

A friend of mine was telling telling me a good way to get really good pelts is to just Lasso the animal and then kill them. I never considered that.

I think I am going to wait for PC. I have never been into the tedium of eating/maintenance in games and I always use fast travel.

Sounds like way too much busy work for me, hopefully the PC can mod some of that out or the devs add a mode where I don’t need to cook and eat and clean a friggin horse.

Yeah it shows a "death" screen (black and white/slow-mo), then a cutscene of you sitting in jail, and then you're back in the game. For that it took out 173 and some change, so not an exact bounty.

You really don't have to take care of all that if you don't want to. Your horse will get clean over time as you ride through water or when it rains. Managing your weight just gives you a few small advantages, but nothing detrimental.


If you don't want to take care of all of that you can avoid it and be fine. You don't ever have to craft or cook if you don't want to. It provides its own pros to doing it, but is not needed if you are not into it.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Last night I did the LeMoyne mission where...

Spoiler

...you have to find and kill the lion.

I had a feeling they were building up to the lion being an actual lion after the dog and cougar.

Yeah, I pretty much just do missions and don't really see any negative effects. I'll run over a rabbit or kill a deer if I see one of the way to a mission but I'm pretty much always going somewhere with a purpose. Same thing with eating, if I'll grab some stew when I'm at camp or eat a carrot if I walk by one but I really don't pay attention to that stuff. I don't bother at all with crafting stuff like satchel's or outfits, putting up decorations around camp, bathing, etc. If I eventually get to a point in the game where I have to do that stuff, then i will, but I mainly just go from one mission to another.

LOL on the flip side I've logged well over 30 hours into this game already and so far I've only done eleven missions.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

With all this talk of time put into the game, has anyone found the time-played stat in the game?

Unfortunately I haven’t. My Xbox time is way off too because I have a habit of pausing the game and doing things around the house for a bit. I wish there was an in game timer that shut off when the game is paused.

Exactly opposite of what I do but that's what's great about this game

Yep. There's a reason and purpose to doing the side things if you want which helps with immersion, but they are not significant enough to where those that avoid them are at any major disadvantage. That's the great balance Rockstar achieved.
