Don't you wish you could do that IRL

Just wanted to say hi to the Outlaws !! this is my first post in here, got the game on release day and I'm at 48.9% now, this game is just awesome IMO !! :)

Update: just started playing 30 minutes ago, this game off of first impressions is phenomenal, outstanding graphics. Stunning textural detail and physics. Thank **** I bought it lol.

I read an article that states there is more then one ending and it depends on your actions throughout the game. I stopped reading the article at that point. Didn't want any spoilers.

Always do a manual save after anything important happens. This has saved my ass more times than I care to admit.

Hell, I've spent a few hours stacking bodies already. Edit: Can I get a job @BropolloCreed79? I'm a great body stacker!!! (this got my stamina up to like 6-7 before the game really started)

Unbelievably simple. Spend a few hours trying to get a perfect cougar pelt here or a few hours trying to complete a scavenger or gambler challenger there. It is slightly overwhelming in the things that you can do. I literally boot up the game, jump in a party chat with my friends and say "I have no idea what I want to tackle right now" haha. Not to mention when you just get swept up in the gorgeous scenery or come across a random event, or stranger mission or legendary animal. The best game I have ever played honestly.

I've never seen it red, but I guess so I always keep it well stocked. I also spend time in camp doing chores, playing games, talking to NPCs, getting upgrades, crafting, giving cash, eating and drinking - I treat it like an RPG, and after every mission or every few days free roaming, I come back to camp and 'take care' of it. It's good for getting stuff, increasing honor, expanding the storyline, and immersion.

That may have been me, not sure...I actually posted the same problem on one thread, and I currently have an open support ticket with R*. I have been communicating with them every day, and have typically been getting a reply back from them the next morning. Here's how it went down once I opened the ticket: Day 1 - Told them about the problem, and they asked me to upload a screenshot showing that I downloaded the add-on. So, I did that.✔️ Day 2- Then they asked me to 'complete' chapter 2, (even though their support page says you just need access to the mission with the stables), but...I did as they asked anyhow, I completed Chapter 2. ✔️ Day 3 -Then they got back and asked me to clear the game cache files. Brand new PS4 slim purchased a few days before, and only this game installed, but still, I did as they asked and cleared them. ✔️ Day 4 - I told them I still had NO WAR HORSE! They then asked me for a screenshot that the day 1 patch had been installed. So, I did. ✔️ Day 5 - (This morning) Received a reply requesting a pic/scan of my receipt showing the amount, and the date of purchased. Well, I did that at 6:00 a.m this morning. ✔️ Like I mentioned before, I generally have a reply waiting for me the next day when I wake up around that time. I am halfway through Chapter 3, so at this point I am willing to bet that I will be finished the game before this is resolved. However, I will update this thread when I get new information from R*. I don't know what looking at the receipt will do. I am thinking they will ask me to re-install and start the story mode over. I have no interest in doing that. I have invested a lot of hours in this product already. If they do, I will be telling them that I will not be doing that, and that it will more than likely be the last R* product I purchase, or at least the last time I dish out an extra amount of money for bonus material. I know, I know, they'll probably roll their eyes and laugh. Anyhow, sorry to hear you're having the same problem(s) as I am and a ton of other people. Note: All my other bonus items were available EXCEPT my war horse, so it's kind of weirld.

Agree with this 100%. This is not GTA or COD. Its Red Dead Redemption 2, and these are the mechanics of the game. They won't change so you'll have to. If you can push forward a bit further money won't be so much of an issue anyway.

Hey all, I wanted to make this post to get things off of my mind, and I wanted to do this thread so people can discuss about this. Okay, so I've noticed a lot of people are targeting Rockstar and criticizing them and pointing out their flaws. Honestly, I don't mind the talk of things Rockstar did wrong in the game, but why not talk about the things Rockstar did right? I am so tired of people pointing out flaws, and complaining more than my 3 year old sister does. This game is amazing, is it perfect? Absolutely not, but neither was Grand Theft Auto V or Grand Theft Auto IV, which both are LEGENDARY games. But, let's stick to the parameters of this discussion. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game, and most people can't see past the minor issues this game has and it's an absolute SHAME. I see more people criticizing rather than embracing this game. This game has so many more positives than negatives, yet people are complaining about them like it's the end of the world, and won't give Rockstar a chance to improve the game. Yeah, this game has been in the works for a very long time, can't you see that in the craftsmanship and detail in the game along with the amazing story? The Red Dead series has improved in so many ways. The hunting is far and beyond what it use to be in the previous Red Dead title, the customization is far more better, the motion capture is amazing, the gun play and horse riding experience is absolutely phenomenal. All of these good positives in the game, and yet people complain over how long missions take, and how horses can't run in between trees? Come on guys, half of the games these days can't even meet half of the expectations Rockstar's games has from their fans. Most games now a days are released with the same exact thing with almost no improvement in their own series, filled with micro-transactions, and HELL some of them don't even contain a FREAKING campaign with NO beneficial message. Before people start saying I'm biased and I'm only defending the game, well I hate to break it to you, I AM defending the game. Most people walk all over this game because they have complaints everywhere on the littlest things, and it's a shame how the littlest things ruin the game for them, when this game beats and demolishes almost all of the games released this generation. Not every game is perfect, and I understand videos games are subjective. Some people may not like the game because of the change in pace, that's fine. Some people may not like the game because theirs so much cut scenes, and you have to be careful about the lawmen attacking you, and you have to keep an eye on your health, and you have to hold medicine and things so you can revive yourself and help your horse, that's fine. It's a different type of style of game, this isn't a fast paced Call of Duty shooter, or a Fortnite game. This is a wild west game where things are slow, traveling takes time, and things are way different. But, when people walk on this game for the smallest little detail of error, they automatically hate this game so much to the point they start jumping on forums, bashing the game, and start attacking people with rude remarks, and hate filled comments, that's when things REALLY gets to me and shows where the gaming community has landed. Whatever happened to the appreciation of innovation? Unreal. I've been playing video games all of my life, and I will continue to support studios and games that are actually good and worth playing, because that's the heart and soul of gaming. Most people are so into fast pace, super competitive games, so much to the point where they can't respect a different genre of games. I would always give credit where it's due, even if I don't like the game. I honestly didn't like Skyrim when it came out, but I still gave it credit for being a super amazing game that changed everything for RPGs. Just because it didn't reach MY expectations of the game, doesn't mean I'm going to sit there and bash on it like its the end of the world, and kill my fingers typing on forums talking bad about people, and shout out the minor flaws saying it's the worst thing that ever spawned on earth. Okay, now that most of this is off my chest, I could hopefully make my views clear to people, and maybe convince someone who hated the littlest things about the game to maybe look at the bigger picture.

This: "I mean wtf? RDR should not be a dang simulation. That's not fun at all and more frustrating than everything else." And this: "Are you kidding me? I don't have to gallop at full speed all the time? What is this? Real life? Isn't this a game? Isn't this a free sandbox open world GAME like Rockstar says? Isn't this supposed to be fun? Do I really have to consider how I play?!" Indicate to me that this game is not going to be for you. Its a feature, not a bug. The game's stylistic intent was to have a fair chunk (medium accepting, of course) of 'realism', 'historicity' and 'simulationism'. It has been designed primarily with a slow-play, role-playing approach. There will be things like horse grunts, walking slow, eating and cleaning and shaving, and the such like that I expect will grate on you. Not every game is for every person, and I suspect this game design isn't for you. Sorry Either adapt your mentality and game style if you really want to play this game, or return the game. Or just use the cheat codes and have it only as a rag-doll joke game. Hope it works out for you.

You guys do know you can keep extra horses at the camp ?

I did it in Rhodes by throwing one under a cart full of people

The source of my problems with this game is the fact I spent hundreds, literally hundreds of hours playing RDR1, so I know the mechanics of it intimately. I 100%ed it long before I finished playing it, and know the whole game literally like the back of my hand. It's great that people love this game, and rightly so, but for me, being able to see that 60% of the game is based on the same old scripted, antiquated system that the first one was made on, then sold as "changing open world gaming", it doesn't hit the mark for me. Like I said, my opinions are based on a) my knowledge of the first one and b) comparing that to what they sold it as. Looking at it objectively I can see why people love it, and I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but for me there are major problems with what they touted and what they delivered, and unless someone has as much knowledge of the first game and puts forward an argument that counters that, I'll feel the same.

Hit the mute button?

I noticed in the clip that your horse's stamina core is depleted. It's blinking to call your attention to that. Running up and down mountains full speed with a dead buck on its back, and no wonder it's complaining to you. The game is not broken -- it is trying to tell you something.

Is there anyway to block the ads that have just started popping up today at the very bottom of the screen?

And I'm a victim of the spoiler 😒😞 Mods, please act quick!

I threw a throwing knife at what turned out to be a cat during the evening (oops) .....got an animal cruelty charge for about $5 or so.

I agree... Edit: Seems to have stopped. I think this is something you can change at a gun shop.

I don't use it much but when I ride with a partner (yellow person on the map) or part of a mission yes, I have to hold down A. If I'm just traveling say from way up north to the trapper I select the trapper on the map, then go into the cinema screen and it takes me there all the way, no pressing A.

I don't think it was specifically in reference to your post, probably just a general statement.

I never played the first 2, but I'm loving this game! I was going to hold off on buying it, but ended up winning my copy. After playing for over 24 hours, I know I definitely would've paid for it. I actually just ordered the guide from Amazon earlier because I'm enjoying it so much. Absolutely no bias (I joined this forum to keep in touch with a few people, not really for the game) here. In my opinion, it's like a combination of skyrim (or fallout), assassins creed, and gta. Just plan a couple hours of limited game play in the beginning. It plays out like a interactive movie and could be rough if you're not expecting it. After that it's all open world fun.

I've been playing slow too, I'm on Chapter 3 around 47% but I do as much hunting and trapping as possible as I'm trying to unlock all the clothes and outfits the trapper sells. I notice the bounties can get out of hand pretty quick if you take on the lawmen. If I'm loaded up with multiple pelts and animals it seems like that's when I get attacked by raiders and wolves. Almost like I have more to lose by dying when I'm full. I did have a boat load of 3 star pelts I was planning on taking back to the trapper to unlock some good stuff and a grizzly bear attacked me and whipped the piss outta me and I died. I lost all my pelts I was so frustrated I went back and shot the heck outta that bear (not sure if it was the same one) but tore him a new one with a shotgun. I wasn't even worried about his hide I just wanted to tear him a new one. LOL

I just got to chapter 3 so not there yet. I know one thing for sure though, for my 2nd play-through I'm going full rogue assassin, everybody dies.

Same. Didn't wear the hood though. Just the bandana. It's been my highest bounty thus far at $110. Only part way through chapter 3. I really hope we get to kill Micah. Very interesting how some people get much stiffer bounties and much more often...

Go fishing in a narrow body of water (like a river) and just keep throwing back the fish, it gives you honour. Alternatively if you have enough money donating $20 over and over again at camp quickly raises it. I'd personally wait until you have the bandit challenges completed anyway else you'll be wasting your time.

I think yellow is top, white middle And yeah - this game is huuuuge!

It was red for a long time for me till I upgraded the camp. And I do the same, this game is amazing, you could spend years discovering things. Taks for your help. Oh, what does yellow mean then? Is it better than white or worse?

Thanks...I've cooled off quite a bit since it all started. At this point it's the principal. I paid for something I didn't get. My current horse is at max bonding and might be better than this Warhorse, but I don't know because I haven't been able to use it. This has been a craptacular experience for me. Planned for Oct. 26th for months on end, only to have my PS4 hard drive crash while installing it. Tried for days to resolve, and fix the problem, then finally my wife got tired of hearing me complain about it, and bought me a new PS4 slim! (Early Xmas present SHE says, but really it's because SHE wanted to play the game too, I SAY! lol) Then this whole bonus content thing goes down, in addition to all the other frustrating bugs with this game. It is a great game, and I know the little bugs that are annoying people will be fixed at some point, but still frustrating. At this point, I am hoping MP is really really good....that would make things a little better!

Thanks guys.

I feel your pain and I started over, cause my son wasn't getting that kind of treatment and it worked. Now I have to actually commit crimes to get bounties.

Wait until the icons are white. This can be done easily by picking up the goodies you've bought for the camp from the relevant tents.

Please try to be open minded. Believe it or not, all opinions need to be heard. Whether we like said opinions or not.

I've come across many many instances in the game where AI aggression and crime reporting mechanics are just absolutely broken! The first example of this would be when someone on horseback rides into you. And immediately you are the one having done wrong and the law starts chasing you down. This is absolutely ridiculous. The second and probably most striking example is duelling. As rare as this event is in RDR2, if you win a duel, it is immediately seen as a crime! WHAT? A third scenario is when you come across a train being robbed. So you shoot the bandits. Instead of getting a little gratitude, you are accused of disturbing the peace! Disturbing the peace by stopping a train robbery? SERIOUSLY? Come on, Rockstar! You worked on this game for how long? And broken gameplay elements this glaring is still present? This needs to be fixed!

Wait do they not have to be hostile? if not I'll just launch one into a bar Edit: Tested they have to be hostile, throwing it into a crowd doesn't work

I get it. I played a crap load of RDR too. I guess I just have come to a point where I tend to temper my expectations of a games based on marketing and hype. I expected RDR2 to be a better, more enhanced version of RDR1 which I believe they delivered. Personally, I don't feel let down or lied to like some but to be honest, hype is nothing new in the gaming industry. RDR2 simply delivered more of the kind of experience I expected. .....but I get that some may be disappointed by comparison and that's fine. I'm not looking to convince others that they should be satisfied if they truly are not. To be honest, I'm happy and that's what really matters.

Best game i have ever played, hands down. I'm 42 and played alot of games in my years, looking forward to the PC release to replay it (i'm 90% done in the story). I do see a number of negative reviews on a number of sites and i simply put it down to individuals expectations. Some people like to play games where you aim and shoot repetitively (im not saying there is anything wrong with that) and some people want a deeper more meaniful immersion but it all comes down to how well it allows the player to escape, to immerse themselves into the game and enjoy it for what it is. I can't recall any game giving me as much enjoyment as this game has so far (on XBOX One X) but can't wait for the PC version where alot of the glitches will be fixed and the graphics will be pumped up to 100% with my RTX2080 !!! Your not alone mate, if people can't see the effort and worth in this game then i feel sorry for them because what i got from it was astounding and gives me hope for what is to come over the next 20 years in gaming.... Be grateful you enjoyed it so much and feel sorry for those who don't. SPOILER - I'm nowhere near as informed on RDR as i would need to be to argue with your comments regarding 1 v 2 but would be interested to know the details that dragged it down for you.

This place has gotten pretty spoilery. The internet as a whole has actually. But Since launch, the amount of members has insanely sky rocketed and it’s just too difficult to avoid now. So I’m bowing out. I’ll see y’all again once I’ve beaten this thing.

Don't pay attention to the people picking the game apart.....RDR2 is my favorite game all year, bar none.....cant lay down my controller, when playing this game.

That's what I am doing as well.....the world begs you to stop and explore.

That hasn't been my experience at all. I actually enjoy the missions when I eventually come back to them after my open world excursions in between. In fact, it's the open world that I am spending many hours in and very few hours actually with the main story.

I just ran mine off a cliff.

For me riding falls into 3 "fast" modes ... 1 tap - this is where I tap the "X" every stride of the horse, tap, tap, tap, tap, and that makes the horse go very fast, but it also slowly loses stats and pants, this is the stride when you're running away from a pack of something that you simply won't be able to survive, and also when you just want to get somewhere in a hurry and you know the horse can rest when you get there. 2 tap - this is where I tap the "X" every other stride of the horse, tap, pause, tap, pause, tap, pause, tap, pause, and that makes the horse run at a sustainable stride without losing stats, but it won't let the horse recover stats from 1 tap, for that you have to switch to 3 tap until stats recover. 3 tap - this is where I tap the "X" every third stride of the horse, tap, pause, pause, tap, pause, pause, tap, pause, pause, as the horse is running, and this is sustainable indefinitely, but is a little slower than 2 tap, and is really good for letting the horse make fast progress while recovering from 1 tap. That's how I do it, anyway.

Some arrogant Frenchie was sitting next to me, and he ALWAYS beat me. So I turned his head into a canoe.

For everyone that lost their special edition horse or warhorse, you should check if your horse was replaced by Tennesee ranch or not. If yes, then Rockstar suggest to put the Tennesee back to stable and change to other available horse, then the DLC horse should reappear in buy horse for free. That works for me

Thanks for the share
