Hyperbole much? The system works fine. It's a bit... strict, but it works. That's on you. ALWAYS kill the witness, too. This one got me on one of the raid missions. I won't go into specifics, but I lingered at the raid site too long looting, and suddenly, I was like Butch without Sundance, holed up in a cabin with nowhere to go. That's a button layout issue, and R* is to blame. It was idiotic to have the "interact" toggle (L2 on PS4) be the same as the aim button. Look, I don't ride my horse unarmed; O'Driscolls are constantly riding out to ambush you. I've had at least half a dozen instances of trying to talk to someone that ended up becoming a fight because I pulled a gun unintentionally. Once I'm in a town, I always manually switch over to bare hands to avoid this, but only a fool rides through the wilderness unarmed. For God's sake, there's out there roaming in the woods. Omnipotence must be a heavy burden, bro. BOOOOOOOOOOOORING! Ol' double barrel shotty to the dome is much more satisfying. That's how I handled the drunken Frontiersman in Valentine. They're still scraping his brain matter off the ceiling of the bar.

I called mine, "OJ Simpson".

Everyone please go to youtube, let people know about this, forget reddit,

Keep doing it, and make comments, let people know about this, im doing it on youtube everyday.

I don't spend much time looking at it, I just dive right in.

Thank you lot for some answers, I managed to save up some more money in the end and bought myself a new Arabian. The struggle there was real as I took some bounty hunting trips and finally managed to save up 950$ only to realize when I got back to the stable that the sale was over and the price had gone up to 1050$ instead. Had to run around like crazy a bit more to save up some more money but got there in the end, now I've done as BropolloCreed79 suggested and save each time I'm basically afraid I'll lose my horse. But yeah I mean I don't think I've ever felt such frustration and sadness in losing something in a game as when I realised I had lost that horse.

In my experience, you'll actually want to press R2 twice after filling up the meter. Lightly hold R2 to fill up the meter, then press and release R2 to draw your weapon and bring up dead eye, and then aim and press R2 again to fire. I practiced how to duel on the mission The Noblest of Men and a Woman. You'll get into a couple duels and if you die, just restart the checkpoint and it should restart right when the duel starts

@Kurama36011 - Please don't solicit others. Thanks.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't snicker every time I have Arthur take a bath. I always opt for "the help", and her hand continually dips into the water near his crotch and lingers. And Arthur usually sighs contentedly when she does. That's close enough for me.

This is why I always create a backup save before starting a new mission. It's saved my horse three times now. With some missions, you can't save during, so I try to do it before I start off on anything new, even if I'm in the middle of nowhere.

At the same time when you make people work 100 hours a week in the end they see blur I can understand them

see my comment

The think the main take away from that Tweet is that if the issue is large enough to attract this sort of attention, it's only a matter of time before R* acts on it (if they are not already). I don't know who the source was that R* Intel talked to. I am sure R* wants to get on top of these types of issues asap to ensure their successful launch isn't marred.

Yes, exactly, they don't admit anything really. Just standard Support Bullishit...

Here is what i got from the Support chat ..... https://rockstarsupport.goquiq.com/app/webchat/webchat.html( Added as a creenshot too) Just spam the Support with our major problem and hope they will really land with a fix

Damn... sounds like this game likes to set us up to fail...

It's not gonna reel in if it's fighting you. As soon as you hook it, it fights you, so you don't reel just yet, you move left stick left/ right to fight back and tire it out. Once it tires out and the controller stops vibrating (assuming you haven't turned off vibrate), then you start reeling in. Usually, it starts fighting again at least once before you get it in, so you have to stop reeling and tire it out again. Repeat until you have your fish.

My crack up moment was riding down one of the main trails and this cowpuncher was trying to help his horse....trying to pull a thorn or rusty nail out of his paw, and the horse kicked the man right in the head and killed him....I sat there for a moment with a smile on my face.

I saved someone in the middle of nowhere who had been bitten. Two days later, he gave me my choice (of a limited selection, sadly) of firearm from the gunsmith in Valentine. Now, I save EVERYONE if I can. Free guns are fantastic.

During a party at camp I took a minute to try on some outfits. While I was changing, I heard what sounded like people having sex nearby. I looked around, and figured out they were in a tent near mine. I targeted the tent and chose "antagonize," and Arthur started yelling at them and making fun of them. Eventually, they came out complaining and looking very sheepish.

If you don't watch what you do, you will always be on a wanted list. Like Rick mentioned, you have to pay off bounties. You can't just break the law and make a run for it, eventually, you will be too well known of a criminal.

Have PS4 Pro and 4K 55" TV. When the PS4 Pro video output is configured to Automatic (I assume 4K), the game becomes unplayable for me as it is extremely blurry and some areas are really killing my eyes. Not sure what the hell is going on. To be honest, I had similar issue with Uncharted 4 and I was thinking this to be related to the extreme motion blur and poor frame-rate performance due to lack of power and the need to implement tricks to get the ****ing 4K resolution. Not to mention the HDR is broken for me as well. After some tests, the only way I can play minimally comfortable is as follow: PS4 Pro video output set to 1080p RDR2 In Game HDR setting turned OFF I am not sure what this set up technically does, I can guess that the frame rate is better and the blurry crap is somehow better. Not ideal but at least playable... I have contacted Rockstar Support a couple of times and they don't have a clue so far. They just keep telling vague recommendation that if you feel better on 1080p, please play on that resolution while we communicate your issue to the team... I would like to know if other people with the same set up as mine feel a better experience with 1080p and HDR OFF.

@BropolloCreed79, About killing witnesses. I had a funny thing happen to me in the mountains.... I ran across a campsite that appeared to be abandoned so naturally, I began collecting items from it (donning my mask as a precaution). As I was looting a box I heard a dog approaching. .......oh, crap. Seems the owner had been out for a walk and discovered me looting his belongings. He ran off as I chased him but I lost him in the trees. I ran back, continued the looting as the dog incessantly barked. Well, one thing led to another and two dudes happened across the scene. .....I forgot I had my mask on and they asked what was going on (with guns drawn). I tried to diffuse the situation with no luck so I took them out. After that, it was like digging myself into a hole. Was dumping the last guy off a nearby cliff and yet another comes along. After having to dispatch 3 more unlucky travelers, I decided to just grab my horse and make make way off the mountain as fast as I could. ......never got a wanted level or a bounty on my head even with the original witness getting away.

It does look amazing from far away but for those that play closer, the motion blur and overall blurriness are really distracting. Some people are more sensitive to it than others too. I’ve read some folks are getting headaches from it.

I think i have just found a way to remove it. Go hunting and collect 3 or 4 pelts then go back to camp and sell them, when i did that it seemed to take away the glitched one, I didnt get anything for it but at least it's gone. I removed the saddle and put it back, it still appears to be gone so try it out and let me know👍

Absolutely! Rock solid advice that

Couple of things regarding this: 1. The criminal system is in fact flawed but not to the point of what the OP is talking about. You can actually get into a fist fight and as long as you don't loot the NPC you beat up, then you're fine. I have done this time and time again. Anytime someone provoked me I waited until they threw the first punch and then I destroyed them. Just don't shoot them. 2. The problem I have is when I see a murder happen at a camp along the road and I go to investigate myself. The aggressive NPC will then challenge me and pull out his gun, he starts shooting me, I kill him and then if a passerby sees this, he flags ME for murder instead of letting me explain what happened. This is a problem. 3. I setup myself on a ridge with a sniper rifle and was shooting at this one passerby that was VERY far away. One shot in the head and killed him. His friend (who couldn't possibly know where I was) started investigating and about 30 seconds later I was flagged for murder and then 10 seconds later I had 6 lawmen behind me waiting on horseback. That was ridiculous.

@Poggy, Yeah, I did the same thing a couple times. ....ooops, wrong button. I once opened up on the butcher in Valentine on accident. He didn't die but I think I was charged with assault. I escaped, payed off the bounty and returned. It took a while but the guy kept busting my chops about "not wanting any trouble", etc. I built up my reputation with the town though and get good discount / prices now. I quickly learned to take things a little slower as well (good point). ....also on the manual saves. I've had to restore once before and it saved me some grief. The $300 bounty from that mission was the highest I've had so far. I don't want to give anything away but other missions I played after that were not nearly as much. ......actually a lot lower than expected. I too have been keeping a reserve of cash on me. I've already upgraded all my weapons (the ones I could unlock), my horse, saddle, etc. ......so I'm tucking away some cash for bounties and other items I can buy in the future as they become available. I've had tons of fun so far.

Glad you got it sorted, thanks for sharing the solution

Well, it's fixxed! I'll post what I did in case someone else have this problem. First of all, I don't know if this is what fixxed, but, it was indeed there after I did this, so... Like I sayed, I have an xbox, what I did was, delete the ultimate edition dlc (10mb) in the manage games and addons section of RDR2; Instaled it again; And once the download is finished, you get a prompt telling you to hold the xbox symbol buttom in the controller to launch the game, and I did that, and when I started the game, I went for that quest that get you in the stables, and the dlc horses were there. I did this because someone in one youtube video comment section told he did this also and that it fixxed for him too. Hope this helps someone else too.

Ah - gotcha! D'oh again!! But still useful for me

Horse perma-death, while not as bad as character perma-death would be, really adds a huge layer of danger/risk to the game. This is the main reason why I'm not going to risk getting a high quality horse - just going to stick with the freebies. Then I wont feel the sting half as bad. Maybe I'll get a high quality horse last - after I've used money to get everything else possible and have nothing else to spend cash on. Brutal mechanic!!

named my horse MR. ED (of course)

Not big on squashing dreams, but instead of begging for help from strangers. I would suggest going back and talking to your parents and discuss how doing something like this could help make you a better person by showing initiative. I would also set down and think about all of the reasons you feel this is a good idea. Go in with a plan not an argument.

Guys, I don't know if it was posted earlier but you can temporary fix that by setting your ps4 pro to 1080p and turning off supersampling. That's how I'm playing it now because otherwise it gives me headache. And this is not a resolution issue or upscaling technique issue. It is caused by anti aliasing bugging with checkerboard rendering.

Yes, I believe you can. At the stables.

Yes in the stables. Not sure how far into the story you are but if you haven't visited the stable in Valentine yet then you can't rename your horse yet.

I agree - one drag smoking is odd

Yeah, I found it - got the tip off, checked, and its in the guide too. But the guide also says the law will inevitably come after you - so I guess no way to prevent that.

You do keep them both, but if you replace one it will go back to your horse. If you want to hold both you need to select in your weapon wheel either an empty slot or a slot with a weapon you don't mind putting back onto your horse.

The only times I've been unable to manually save from the Story Menu is when I'm within a mission. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you haven't got some mission or bounty or story element active before trying to manually save. You could also try turning auto save off/on again. Sorry, no great ideas about this.

I'll keep an eye out, but I'm not sure how many stores we'll be stopping at. The hotel bar doesn't have it though... Edit: I did try the Shiner Bock beer though (localish brew). Definitely a favorite now.

I contacted rockstar support and they say they are working on a fix

I've got the same problem, so annoying having an Alligator skin permanently on the back of my horse. It's definitely a glitch as it's not appearing at all in my horse cargo so I can't sell it or get rid of it!! Any ideas? Did anyone else with this issue have it where the skin wasn't in their horse cargo?

Tennessee Whiskey

Hey, hey, hey now....what did that poor nag do to you? I understand you are upset, but no need to insult the nag!! lol

A beast jumps you, your horse throws you and you get eaten. All while you're having a drink...

Seems a bit drastic

The only thing ill say about this topic is this is a AAA game not a XXX game?
