Red Dead Redemption 2

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

So I am slow playing the heck out of this game and with immense pleasure.

Staying on chapter 5 (Saint Denis).

So tonight we will focus on finding some dinosaur bones, hunting Panthers and Cougars and exploring. I have found and run into some cool **** up on the Roanoke area.

Such an amazing free roam game.

My slow burn is on Chapter 4 still (after a restart because of the missing campers bug). I stumbled into a couple side missions of sorts that aren't tracked in the log that have been keeping me busy the last couple nights. Also found some interesting things around the world that may or may not lead into something down the road.

Spoiler

Guys building the house near Valentine needed lumber, I had recently done some favors for the timber company near Strawberry.... connected the two.

Followed the trail trees to the mine that I couldn't enter. Found the snake mound. Missing persons poster of a princess....

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Still had a stranger mission not trigger in Strawberry. It was a mail mission, but the stranger icon never disappeared and of course with the mission not active it was impossible to pick up the mail.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

You said it, game:



That's only the second fish I caught online (first was a tiny perch). Strangely enough, I couldn't figure out how/if I could eat it. So I ended up selling it to the butcher for around $8.

Also got the shock of a lifetime while doing a cart recovery mission:

Spoiler

You know how those are usually shoot up a bunch of outlaws who stole the cart, recover it and take it back to town? Well, this one wasn't abandoned because of people - it was A DAMN GRIZZLY BEAR! After getting mauled once before realizing what had happened, I pulled out my brand new bolt-action rifle and put a dead-eye powered shot between its eyes. Fortunately I wasn't harassed by anyone while returning the cart and the rest of the mission went without a hitch.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I restarted the game Friday night. I just made it to Horseshoe Overlook and have done a couple missions since then. It's clicking a lot better now that I know what the game is and who Arthur is somewhat. I still really hate the menus and inventory system, but I'm enjoying this second go around a lot more than the first.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I was wrong I had been slow burning Chapter 4 (Saint Denis) I finally pushed the story forward into Chapter 5......WOW!!!! What a ride so far!!


And.......

Spoiler

Losing Hoseih and Lenny sucked!!!! I can tell Arthur is sick....pre-emphysema. Can’t stop coughing. I hate where this may be going.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Can someone give me like an overview on how to commit crimes and not only escape the law, but not obtain a bounty in the process?

Is it as simple as wearing the bandanas?

I was collecting a debt and one witness mistakingly thought I had committed robbery. So he takes off and for some reason is doing laps around the nearby house. I walk over, lasso and hogtie him, and strap him to my horse. Before I could take him to the middle of a nearby field some uppity prude had erroneously told the law I was kidnapping this poor man. Before I know it I have a ten dollar bounty on my head. Halfway back to camp a group of a dozen or so bounty hunters pop out from behind the mesa and believe themselves on the path of a get rich quick scheme. Luckily Jeffery, my trusty steed, galloped me to safety and I eventually paid the bounty to clear my name.

Now, the most fun in these Rockstar games is to cause havock and go on some genuine rampages, but I can't afford to be catching a bounty every time I need to blow of steam. Any suggestions or tips?

The mask helps in that you won't get immediately identified as Arthur and have a bounty placed on you. If you commit a crime with a mask on you'll still see the Wanted banner appear when someone reports the crime, but it will say "Unknown Suspect" meaning you haven't been identified. If you linger in the area when the law arrives to investigate they WILL identify you (mask or no) and then you'll get hit with a bounty, but as long as you get out of the area where you committed the crime you should be safe.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I was mistaken on my Chapters and was actually in Chapter 4 when I thought it was around 6. The game definitely is more fun than I was originally giving it credit for. I enjoy the story quite a bit more than I thought I would be. I barely even hunt or do side missions out of my way.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Got the game for Christmas. Spent 2 hours playing today and only got 2% of the story complete!

Any way to skip the horse riding back to camp?

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Has anyone passed the “kill 4 consecutive enemies with the same tomahawk” challenge? I just can’t get that to work. I thought dropping my other tomahawks so that I’m only carrying one would help, but no dice. The kills aren’t even registering.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Apparently, I just beat up The Invisible Man. I was getting punched out of thin air and decided to fight back. Picked him up to “hide the body” and wouldn’t you know it, someone actually WITNESSED this and tried to sell me out.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

For some reason, I haven't picked this game up at all since starting my short Christmas break. I'm going to start tonight now though.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Question re: the trapper...

I have a perfect panther pelt that I want to use for the No-Man's vest. I cannot sell it to him for some reason. I was able to sell my perfect goat pelt--the other ingredient for the vest--but I can't figure out how to give/sell him the panther pelt. Any tips?

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

The controls and some of the mechanics are terrible. I never have fun during shootouts because it feels like I'm fighting the controller trying to maneuver and get in cover.
