Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

For those overwhelmed - and I admit I'm not up to that part yet - didn't Rockstar say that tending to the camp is optional? You'll get comments and obviously lose out on some benefits, but the camp can survive without you.

For me, I love doing the camp stuff. Makes the game much more immersive.

Where I’m overwhelmed at is I don’t know what to do next. There is so many things to do and so many missions. I can’t prioritize what to do next because I can’t find any mission descriptions or why I have to ride “way ova yonder” to meet Javier.

Kind of think the controls are clunky but the other part of me thinks you really really have to pay attention to the buttons you press. Every button press matters

I agree on the button presses. I accidentally hit the wrong button and killed someone I didn't mean to kill.

I don't have almost $300 to clear my name. [emoji23][emoji23]

You spent the money from that gold bar? I went and got it after you posted it but I haven’t sold it yet.

I actually haven't sold the gold bar yet. I just got the ability to sell at the Fence last night. Was about ready to pass out from playing for a while so I called it a night. Gonna check into it later.

I spent that on the item I mentioned earlier to make the camp upkeep more tolerable. I need to find the correct gun to take out small game next.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I don't know what it is about the game that has me hooked and engaged vs other open world games. I feel like with how slow and plodding it can be and how it doesn't compromise movement or animating activities, or even ease of travel, I should be annoyed like it's wasting my time. I just don't get that feeling at all though.

Anyone else feel similarly? I felt like GTA V was a bit dull, and I generally end up feeling like everything is a chore in open world games, and I can't quite put my finger on what's happening here as to why that's not the case.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Through Colter and enjoying every bit of it! Now I'm going to sidetrack and do some exploring on this massive map, or at least around my new campsite. I'm not necessarily overwhelmed by the things you can do, but I'm overwhelmed by the controls for sure. I know they're still RDR controls, but adding things like interactions and the satchel just make it all quite a handful, especially with the tutorials and hints that pop up in the upper-left corner.

Earlier this morning I was sprinting on my horse and was in my weapon wheel trying to figure out what cycles where and how to equip items such as binoculars, and before I know it I clipped a low branch from a tree, flew off my horse and died. I lost two deer skin pelts and a corpse that I was bringing back to camp, but it was so worth it for the moment!

I also ran across a stranger pinned down by her dead horse and tried to help her. When I did, my character got stuck in a walking animation as he was trying to get on the other side of the horse. I couldn't do anything: no moving anywhere else, shooting, whistling, accessing weapons/items (I could engage the wheel but nothing would come of it), cancel my good deed attempt... nothing. I was about to reload my save, when suddenly the stranger freed herself from the horse and said "Thanks for nothing," and went on her merry way. So if you run across a stranger thing like this, don't "accept to help" if you're facing the horse's underbelly (horseshoed between his legs) in case this thing happens to you too. If it does, just wait it out and let them free themselves I guess.

If you play this on Vita with Remote Play, make sure to switch to alternate controls so aiming/shooting maps to the shoulder buttons and not the bottom corners of the touchscreen.

Ahhh. So you can’t sell it one of the shops in town?

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Oh crap. I didn't realize I had 2 different bounties totaling over $500. Good thing I sold that gold bar. Lol. I like playing as a savage but I'm gonna have to be extra careful when robbing people now and make sure no one else is around.

Only at a fence. Same with gold nuggets too. I found one of those worth $25.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

The attention to detail is just insane. I stopped on my horse to talk to someone and the horse took a massive dump where it was standing. Hahaha.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Just saw three O'Driscoll's about to execute a guy point-blank, so I slung some arrows to save him and I did.

The game told me I had to dispose of the bodies so lawmen don't trace them back to me. Thankfully I was by the big body of water and took the time to carry them into there. The problem was the third one was on top of the coach, which apparently I can't ride myself, but I also couldn't take him off with an interaction prompt... however, using the lasso did work in pulling him off.

As I brought him to the body of water, one of the other two corpses washed up back to shore. I proceeded to bring him out deeper. Last I checked, they're still there. Amazing that the game restores their status from time and distance away for quite a bit!

Their coach also had a lockbox that I can't pick yet. Need to have a tool for that. Guess I gotta start strolling into towns to see what's available soon enough.
