Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 2018)

[Do Make Say Think]

So I jump on today and my horse is now a crappy turd cheap $10 horse. I had a maxed out race horse from the special edition. WTF. Last thing I did was going fishing on the just south of the Chapter 3 area.

Either your horse died or you lost connection to the internet. You have to be online to use the pre-order bonuses.

Beau - “If anyone finds out about Penelope and me they’ll kill me”
Arthur - “If anyone finds out? I know about Penelope and you and I’ve been here all of 10 minutes”

Idk why but I found this line was hilarious lmao.

Another good one is after you deal with the illicit business in Rhodes and you go back in there the owner apologizes to you and Arthur says: "Ah, we've all kidnapped people before."

Anybody else do that Crompton stranger mission?

Spoiler

Loved how they laid out the documents for you to slowly figure out why he is a homeless old drunk; progressing from “oh this seems so sad, he lost his job, his family hates him, and now he is a homeless old drunk. Then you find out what his job actually was! lol

The whole ride back I was thinking about how I was going to murder him and Rockstar basically finishes the mission with him waiting for you to put a bullet in his head.

And I didn’t think to make sure but I coulda swore I gained karma for capping the old man.

One of my favorite sidequests. That and the Black Belle one.

I keep losing my horse due to having to borrow one for missions and it becoming my main horse. Is there any way around this?

I don't think so. At least not that I've found.

You can always immediately swap it out at the nearest stables, though.

I helped a lady find her midget magician (im not sure if its her husband or son) and as a reward you have to go watch them at the theatre in St Denis and after woods you get a share of the profits for the performance. Anyway while in the theatre you can heckle the performers what he yells out is hilarious. The show is a little person magician and a guy who is like 7ft tall and he yells out "get these weirdo's off the stage" and many other funny ones I was actually laughing after pressing the button

edit: please note I don't think little people or really tall people are weirdo's, its funny because in 1899 this stuff was what would have been said

Can you get a big wagon and toss a bunch of carcasses and pelts in the back for a hunting trip? Rather than making multiple trips.

Wow. Why did I never think of doing this.............

Can you do that with the satchel??

Sadly, no, I have not found an option to remove the satchel. Hopefully R* adds that for an update, because the satchel really throws off the vibe of some of my outfits.

For me, it goes a little too long.

I've also had it twice now where I've picked up a nice elk pelt, but then had to leave it behind to help someone on the side of the road.

When I'm on a hunting trip I get locked in, lol I usually end up audibly saying "Don't give a f***" anytime I hear some stranger calling from off the path saying some bs like "Oh sir, please come help me!!!" lol.

Is it back at one of the stables?

I don't think you can, no. I tried dropping a carcass into one and the "stow" button never came up, it is possible that the particular carriage I had cant stow but others can im not sure

What you can do if you have 2 horses is make one "follow" you by holding up on the D pad instead of pressing and your 2nd horse will follow and you can double you carrying capacity while hunting. 2x bigger carcass/pelt and then hang 4x smaller animals.

You can force your horse to follow while you steal a carriage to give to the fence too

Thats a shame. Would be a nice addition, and actually give you a reason to have a large cart instead of a horse.

Unfortunately not

im not sure but I think you cant actually keep carts right? you should be able too and you should be able to put animals on it but I guess its a control measure to stop players just loading up on animals to sell or craft with

So I finished hunting all the gunslingers yesterday and when I was going after the Mexican one (Fernandez?) in the Western Grizzles I came across some wicked aspects. First, where the white Arabian horse is, I saw a grizzly bear on the lake eating an elk while a pack of wolves were trying to get some chow. The bear stood on his two feet and scared them away, that was awesome. I then wanted to head back to Adler's Ranch just to see what's up and on the way there, there was a couple who were sadly frozen to death by a snowstorm holding a map - detail tiny stuff like that makes this game amazing.

What sucks though is that you can't hold more than two of the legendary gunslingers guns. Not all of them have good stats, but the aesthetics of them were are very cool (sucks that I have lost three since I can't hold more).

Curious question, how do you guys know the difference between a three-star pelt and a legendary animal? There was an Elk with massive horns in the mountains who had three-stars and I tried to hunt it, but it went beyond the game boundary. Then, I saw a three-star ram and got him instead.

Or return to camp and inform the gang thats theres a carcass that needs collecting.

The gunslingers was like the first mission I finished because I wanted to open up the map but the writer guy disappeared. I’m assuming he’ll come back later in the game.

Not that I like the game conducting opening and closing stores, I wonder if it is because of a time-based element inside the game where the mission of the author only appears during "xx:xx" to "yy:yy". I do know that some of the times I wanted to buy newspapers, I had to wait until the lad came to sell them between a specific time.

Yes but it's going to take a while

 

[Raging Bull]

Anyone pick up that guy with the badly infected arm wound outside Saint Denis? Only good deed I've done in the entire game was bringing him to the doctor, then when I was told to leave I just stayed and stood there as he amputated that thing and tossed it in the trash.

 

[Jovavic]

Well, I bit the bullet and bought it, downloading now so maybe I'll get to play Thursday lol. Any early game tips or is the beginning three hour tutorial pretty straightforward and you can't deviate from it much?

 

[Harbinger]

I just got gang banged by a herd of buffalo.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

The story goes places. Great stuff.

 

[Dolemite]

I stole a stage coach and I don’t regret it.

BUT....

There’s no place to save it.

You can sell them but thats it.

One of the Rhodes sheriff missions.

Spoiler

Dutch: don’t worry sheriff we can take this illegal moonshine and dispose of it accordingly.

Sheriff: well I usually take the contraband myself for personal consumption but okay

Love the writing. It’s way, way toned down from GTA, but it’s so much better for it.

 

[Harbinger]

Nothing like leaving hundreds of pounds of buffalo meat to rot.

 

[Turin]

So the main complaint is the clunky controls. Is it worse than The Witcher 3 when it was released? Because I could overlook it pretty easily if it’s comparable.

 

[Jovavic]

Which view does everyone use? First or third?
