Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 2018)

[Do Make Say Think]

Got a question about guns. I haven't purchased any weapons, expect the free one from saving the guy early on, should I or just swap them out for ones I find? I have one pistol, a sawed off shotgun, dual pump action shotgun, a repeater and another rifle with a scope. Sometimes I feel like if I don't dead eye kill someone I have to shoot them several times. Also if you don't clean them often how badly does it effect your shooting?

You will find guns all over the place, don't buy them.

Where do you go to cash the gold bars in?

The fence. There is one in pretty much every town not valtine though it seems. St Denis, Van Horn I use mostly

I think I may have broken a game mechanic, but I'm not sure yet...

I was repeatedly trying to rob an illicit business, but i was failing to get away before being forced to kill a lawman and rack up a huge bounty. So I just kept re-loading my game and trying again and again to rob the back-room. Well, eventually I went to try to do this and I was no longer able to "discover" the illicit business and force the store owner to open the back door.

I'll have to find another store like this outside of Valentine and see if it re-prompts me to do this.

I’m hooked on this game in the worst way. Carved this pumpkin last night and I’m trying to convince my girlfriend to buy me a cowboy hat for my birthday.

 

[Easy E]

I didn't play the first .What's the consensus on this one?

 

[tacogeoff]

finally got through the hour tutorial at the beginning of the game. Have put in maybe an hour into the Valentine area.

So far I have to say I really enjoy the new game play aspect of the camp.

The world is vibrant and alive. I like how you can interact with everyone you come across.

Biggest downside for me would be the item wheel. as others have mentioned it is very annoying/difficult at times to get a gun out when you need it quickly.

Also love the camera they give you, with the detailed and amazing environment they created you can take some pretty sweet photos. And the characters just fit like a glove in campfire photos. ...... yes lame I know but I do a lot of photography in real life so I got a kick out of how good this aspect is.

I found and broke the Arabian horse. My victory was short lived due to a wolf attack moments later. During the fight the horse ran off and I cannot find the damn thing. That area of the man actually hurts my eyes, so I don't think I'll be looking for it again. Shame.

That happened to me too. It's honestly not worth it as you have precious little time to loot the place proper before the law turns up.

I didn't play the first either, but my opinion is that this game is absolutely incredible and I'm hooked on it. Lol. I'm actually mad that I'm going to the Penguins game tonight because I just want to go home and play this all night.

I agree with you entirely here. This game has so many picture-esque moments. My girlfriend was getting so annoyed because as I'm riding through the wilderness I am repeatedly saying "Wow, look at this!" every 15 seconds because of just how beautiful some of the sights are.

Just a heads up- If you press L1 quick it will bring up whatever gun you have equipped. I always have my rifle ready to draw if shit gets real .

 

[Harbinger]

Is there anyway to un-equip or hide the man purse?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Buggy and frustrating with terrible controls.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Buggy and frustrating with terrible controls.

That is definitely not the consensus lol

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I don't think you understand what consensus means...

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I don't think you understand what consensus means...

That's the consensus..minus the fan boys.

Does it? Can you set this? Every time I equip lets say a Shotgun, I feel like when I go to use it I always default back to the revolver and I always have to go back to the weapon wheel to switch. Gets annoying.

 

[tacogeoff]

That's the consensus..minus the fan boys.

really though? Im about 3hours and a bit in and haven't come across any bugs or glitches. what should I be expecting?

Again...not the consensus.

I've never had a problem with it, honestly.

Hmmm maybe I’m doing something wrong then.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

The issue comes whenever you start riding your horse. You can choose your default side-arm but it seems like when you're riding around on your horse and jump off, a lot of the time you have to pull your weapons back off of the horse. This has happened to me a lot on hunting trips where I forget to pull the bow out of the horse. Sometimes it switches sometimes it doesn't. I'm not 100% sure on how this exactly works.

Nothing really. Maybe the odd horse glitch out but I am just starting chapter 3 and I can't really remember one glitch. And I am playing on a base PS4 from launch.

Frustrating controls

Ah you’re right it’s definitely the horse stuff that seems to reset everything. Just a hassle to deal with I suppose. Maybe there will be patches or something.

I feel like you don't know what either "consensus" or "fan boys" means.
