Red Dead Redemption 2

See that's the thing on bounties. I've been watching my favorite streamer's let's play and he is legit serial killer, so he tends to have the entire US Marshalls called on him. Once the dust settles it's 300 bucks. It makes sense because he just murdered 30 policemen, but yeah shooting your way out of things can make bounties add up quick.

It's only $300 because it's capped based on what chapter you're in. It goes up to $500 when you finish chapter 2, and then $1500 towards the end of chapter 3. Maximum wanted level and response from the law is only possible once you break $1000 bounty too.

Whenever the online component comes out, they better let me play as Bertram

I hate when a reload a save that it always starts me back way up on a cliff that i have to spend 5 minutes going the wrong direction to find a slope down just to get back to where i was when i saved. Hey assholes, i saved at that spot for a reason.

I bring two horses with me everywhere I go now, outside of missions. It's far from being a perfect solution but at least I can get two of the super annoying skins that take up the whole horse's ass. Mostly it's cows, bulls, and oxen that annoy me. I only know of one respawning ox that can be killed without a honor hit, and so far I haven't found a single cow or bull to kill that doesn't cause the shit to hit the fan for both honor and bounty. Maybe a late night cowtipping run with bow+improved or poison arrows would let me get in and out with only the honor hit, I have to experiment more. It's just annoying as shit that you can't kill all the 3* ones in a pen but instead have to keep coming back over and over like a bovine serial killer to get them all if you want to craft those items.

New most hated thing about the controls: fishing. It takes so long to reel in the big legendary fish that It feels like I'm wearing a groove in my right stick and should go buy a new DS4 during black friday. (And I do know about pulling back on Lstick to haul them in faster... still takes ages.) I feel sorry for anyone doing it without a FPS Freeks tall stick on the right side to assist in rotation.

Yeah, I turn it almost sideways/vertical. Not much to grab onto on a DS4 if you don't have FPS Freeks though.

dude does an input lag analysis of RDR2




oof, not great and it shows. crazy how responsive Destiny is on the charts, Spider-Man also felt super crisp

Drunk scene with Lenny possibly greatest scene in the history of gaming. I laughed out loud when I went to fight that dude in the bar then it instantly cuts to us all dancing In unison

Yes! I actually replayed it just to see everything for the gold medal. The sex scene was also funny. LENNY!
Please tell me there is more like that

I'm only on Chapter 3 but I really enjoy the game. The controls, horse back riding and tasks that some complain about don't really bother me. The environments are fantastic. Growing up hunting/fishing im really enjoying that aspect of the game. It's amazing the amount of animals in this game.
I wonder how much time I've wasted listening to conversations in town and camp. I'm constantly talking to everyone trying to get new dialog. The conversations vary also. I remember being shocked by Lenny talking about his grandmother being raped and having to work the cotton fields. (There's more to it but don't want to spoil it) then there's drunk conversations about moving to Australia to become kangaroo farmers. The dialog brings so much life to the game.

Most dialog i get from the game outside of the people in the camp is "Howdy partner" or "Oh you lookin to see how my gun works".
I was under the impression that every NPC in the game had dialog, but it does not seem that way. Only if you antagonize or point a gun at them will they start to be interesting, otherwise seems generic (outside of main chars)

Also, is defending yourself an issue for others in this game? If i'm in town and i stand too close to someone, eventually they will attack me or shoot at me... so i can either run and take bullets in the back or fight back, if i fight back then i'm the one in trouble... this makes no sense to me.

Yeah, they made it so you can't provoke someone into a fight, intentionally or not, and avoid a bounty or honor loss that way. Just one more thing that makes 'in mission' and 'open world' feel like playing two entirely different games that have polar opposite design goals.

inventory question... i have yet to find / get some leather working toolset for pearson (don't even know where to get it), so i am still on the default satchel.
what i don't get is why when i skin an animal i get a message that says "you don't have enough room to collect all the resources, open your satchel and remove some items"
however when i look in my satchel, i have a ton of empty slots, so wtf, why can't i collect animal parts?!

You buy the tools in the ledger, after you do the mission for Strauss.

As for the looting message, it just means that you're already holding 5/5 venison, or whatever the item is.

interesting so it's not slots that are empty / available, there is a venison "slot" and that slot can only hold 5 venison even if i have the rest of the satchel empty... understand, but that's just dumb lol.
