Hey dude I watched your video and noticed you have the follow camera on. If you go to settings > Camera > Camera Follow and turn it to OFF or Minimal I made videos to show the difference. I hope this helps you or anybody else who watches it, I much prefer this setting off and to adjust the camera myself when its needed.

The outcome is that, you have to catch it again, so I left the area, went to my camp with Dutch and Co and slept for a few hours and then returned to the spot where the Legendary Fish was located and bingo, it was available to catch again, which I have just, at this very moment have done, hence the delay in letting you all know. Many thanks to you all for not severely mocking me even though it's hilarious as hell and for all your suggestions which helped me immensely. Now to catch some more Legendary fishes. Thank you all once again.

So I was out and about and found a rival gang. I shot the whiskey bottle or moonshine jug sitting in the middle and everything flew up and caught on fire, I was pretty surprised!

That's exactly what I'm doing! Still on chapter 2.

Literally just figured that out yesterday when I was tinkering with my UI settings to set up a photo of a corpse wall comprised of O'Driscolls. I have to say, playing the game with nothing on the screen (not even a mini map) and using the companion app instead is absolutely something everyone should experience. The immersion is frightening if for no other reason than how gorgeous the game is.

Well good luck! I almost caught my second one this morning, but I got frustrated (should've been getting ready for work) and broke the line...

Yeah I feel like looting and receiving the pocket watches,etc. is overlooked.

Here’s a better pose of Mr. Hat.

EVERYTHING goes up in flames...

LMAO Not sure how I never noticed that!!!! Probably because I was holding it in. In any case, thanks for clarifying that.

Online has been confirmed for this month, fingers crossed they'll launch it with a patch for the pro .

To the users that say we don't have a life and things like that, a lot of people including me bought a ps4 pro just for this game and spending 400€/$ is a little fortune especially for the ones that don't have a steady income because they are still going to school etcetera. So in all honesty I think we have the right to speak about our frustration without that people telling us to just buy a Xbox one x or to chill down.

I suppose I phrased it harshly because this game means a lot to me. And I'm honestly disappointed that they half assed it. I say half assed because it perfectly describes the game. They were phenomenal half way, and left the other half basically unfinished. The game had so much wasted potential it's depressing. The characters and acting were incredible, but we barely got to interact with them. Even Dutch! One of my favorite missions in the game was a fishing mission with Dutch and Hosea. Imagine getting intimate and unique scenes like that with all the gang members whenever you wanted just by approaching one of them and asking them to come to town with you. We could have taken any of our outlaw family hunting, drinking, watching shows, robbing... It would have strengthened our connection to these characters tenfold. The fact that R* never even considered that is embarrassing. They gave us an amazing world and robbed us of any real connection to it.

Although I might have phrased it less harshly, I tend to agree with most of your points - many elements of the game were over-hyped and left under delivered, the economy and shopping quickly becomes almost redundant, and some of the rpg mechanics, like weight control, seem poorly implemented. But still, it's an amazing game which I have great fun playing, and it will give me many more hours yet. I have high hopes for online, too

I worry about people that worry about “text shouting”.

Be interesting if you got your arm shot off and had to play the rest of the game with a disability

Dirty and oily pomade hair with a beard and handlebar stache. Didn't keep the look, though. I cleaned up nicely when I made it to Saint Denis, bought a suit, shaved and trimmed hair.

i have uploaded an example of the blurring which can clearly be seen and is removed when I press the share button Before and after same shot one with share button pressed

Personally, I have no interest in the exploit. It takes away from the gameplay. Funny enough, I've found that looting provides a wealth of valuable tonics, jewelry and other items I can sell to fences for a tidy sum. I actually try to seek out gang camps and ambushes because of this.

So… I’ve almost 100 percent-ed the game. And here’s my honest spoiler free analysis. Feel free to tell me if you think I’m being unfair. Positives: The story and acting is phenomenal The world looks phenomenal The bounty missions were very enjoyable but there were far too few of them The hair growth system was cool to see 
Negatives: The economy is a joke The morality system is a joke The body weight system is a joke The cleanliness and bath system is a joke The side games are a joke. Games can’t be played for big bucks, even in Saint Denis The camp is a joke! Chores don’t get you any rewards or special dialogue, NPC’s don’t actually talk to you, and hunting for perfect pelts for upgrades is a complete waste of time because all the camp upgrades will disappear after chapter 6. (I learned that the hard way — and boy was I pissed) The legendary animals and fish are a joke. You can’t display them, selling them is useless because money is useless in this game, and the only unique rewards you can get from them are those hideous outfits made by the trapper. WTF R* you couldn’t be bothered to make the legendary outfits look decent? Really? Speaking of which, outfit options in the game are so limited it’s embarrassing. 
Gun shopping is fundamentally pointless as dead eye makes your beginner guns just as effective at getting headshots as upgraded guns. You’re better off just sticking with your original guns and customizing them to your liking. 
What else… The one romance Arthur has in the game is limited to 2 missions. 2. Chapter 5 of the game should never have existed. You don’t access a 3rd the map until the epilogue and there are no missions there when you do. I assume these regions were designed entirely for Red Dead Online. And random events happen far too infrequently. Good luck trying to find the event where your gang busts you out of jail. I got myself imprisoned over thirty times before I got a single jailbreak scene. Finally… NPC interactions are a joke, especially with fellow camp members. Most go something like this: “Tilly!” “Hey Arthur” “Okay then, I won’t disturb you” “Sure Arthur” It’s disgusting the wasted potential for interactions with fellow gang members. They built a beautiful cast and you rarely ever see or talk to most of them. R* couldn’t be bothered to make a follower system like GTA 5 where you could call up a friend and take them out for activities like drinking or robbing. So instead of taking Dutch to the Saint Denis theatre, or Karen for drinks in the local salon, or taking Sadie robbing (which would have been awesome to see), you are limited to only ever seeing them in missions. It’s pitiful. TL;DR the story and acting is beyond incredible. The “living, breathing” open world we were promised, is a joke. This game was designed to be a story game, not an RPG. And they were wrong to emphasize the open world gameplay elements the way they did. It was fundamentally dishonest advertising. That's about it. After 80+ hours I think I'm gonna take a break from the game. I love this world and these characters, but the gameplay is just too hollow to justify me running around shooting things for much longer. After the epilogue the world feels empty. Hopefully Red Dead Online will be more than the cash grab that GTA Online was. Probably not, but fingers crossed.

credits to Dtomza , Indeed , i set the dynamic camera to off and because the full screen is not following your character , the motion blurr is better,not perfect, but better, i said i wouldnt play till it gets fixed but this way its playable and without a headache or painfull eyes

It sounds like you are just trying to blow through the game. I get it if your just banging out the story missions, but there is a ton to do and explore between missions. I mean, that's the beauty of this game. The side activities, challenges, etc almost feel like a nice departure from the main quest. Plus the camp is never too far from any rail road or stage coach.

Someone had to be the guinea pig, right? Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you got it!

I prefer to toss a stick of dynamite into groups, but fire bottles are also fun.

It truly is a thing of beauty.

The problem is, she'll be like "hey can you come and help me with this?"... And I'll see something I didn't want to see. It's okay, I think I can catch up to her by the time I get home and start playing LOL pedal to the metal!

Mistake?! Sounds like you got a keeper! Your only mistake was not buying a second ps4!

Hate to say it, but ^ there's your problem...

Yeah. Just discovered that today .Very useful tool. The 14th only shows up after doing the 13th and doing a side mission with the fishing guy. Its further down the San Luis river. Found it, but haven't managed to catch it yet though.

I forgot about this one: https://rdr2map.com/ Shows the legendaries, but not the other locations. Edit: according to that, there are only 13...

It took me a while to figure it out. I never really used it in gunfights because I was so focused on the action. I played around with it while hunting, and now there really are no gunfights. Good use of dead eye means you kill most of your targets before they even draw on you. Practice with animals (also helps you get perfect pelts) if you're having trouble. Birds are great for it if you can spot a group. At the very least, you don't have to worry about being shot at.

Hello everyone, As you will recall from my previous post, I work for Rockstar. I mentioned before that this specific issue was brought up and then pushed aside because there were other priorities. Recently, this issue has again resurfaced and I would like to clarify a few things that have happened and what the plans are for the near future in regards to this issue: - This issue was brought up and finally escalated last week to the relevant teams. - They got back to us and it's been verified that there is absolutely nothing we can do in the short term in regards to this issue. A fix would likely take 6-12 months, and might never be done. - The next patch will address bugs that affect both the Xbox and Playstation versions altogether. There are plans for patches after that in the next couple of months to give Ps4 Pro users more control over the graphics settings, but it has been confirmed by our specialists that it would only minimize the problem and not solve it. As always, your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finished or not, I think it was a good move to wait on the online because of the story mode. I feel like if both were to come out on the same day, I would feel rushed.

Thank you. I thisnk i was under the impression that you hit X to get it going and that was it. In other words i did not know you had to keep tapping it and i was wondering why i was stopping for no reason or slowing down. But that helps.

I found that confusing too, don't worry, it can make sense, they just didn't explain it well ... There are basically three horse riding modes, one is near camp, one is with people, the third is by yourself. 1) Near camp the only speed is SLOW. 2) With other people you are essentially riding as a group, and you can indeed get moving and then press and hold the "X" while you are at least second in line following someone else in the gang, but that won't work if you are first in line. You can move up in line by double tapping "X". When in doubt, just hit "X" lol. 3) When it's just you and the horse and you are riding out in the world, I'll tell you how I do it, and you can take it for what it is. I use the 1, 2, or 3 tap method. While pressing forward on the left joystick ... 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. I also do this when the horse is still just to get it going, then lower back down to 2 tap. 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. To stop the horse no matter what speed it is going, just stop tapping, and stop pressing forward on the left joystick, and it will slow down and come to a stop.' Pay attention to the ring around the lightning bolt symbol, if you are doing the 1-tap above you'll start to see the lightning bolt blink and the ring move down, that's your horse getting tired ... you'll hear it panting. Hope that helps.

@MN32410 Red_&_Dead Wow, okay, that was a pretty intense response from a fellow gamer. Maybe you need some fresh air or something. I was polite and friendly and trying to help. I'm genuinely sorry that you guys are disappointed, but from some of the talk on here I think some of you may need a little bit of perspective on the bigger picture, that this is a game, one among many. Outside of games is a whole world to enjoy. There may or may not be an issue, as NOT EVERYONE IS REPORTING IT. Using stupidly oversized fonts as if you are shouting at me is ridiculous. Sure I won't bother commenting any more, although your logic that Rockstar will read some random guy's post on an unofficial forum, and decide not to act based on what I say, shows something about your mindset. If you are that wound up about a friendly, thought through response, maybe you should give up on the game, or wait for a patch, or buy a One X which doesn't have the problem, or play something else, or demand a refund, or go to trading standards, BUT NOT TEXT SHOUT AT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE SLIGHTLY DERANGED. I genuinely hope the game is fixed for those having issues. But you should not think you can police what people say. I'll not write any more, because I understand that there is more to life than a goddamn game, unlike you it seems, so I'll just do one of the above steps I recommended so that this isn't a problem.

Yep, I’m on horseback right now and just notice a weird darker border at the bottom of the screen. I might be going crazy but do you see that darker border near the lower edge of the screen?

Please be mindful of spoilers for those of us who haven't completed certain missions, etc. I appreciate it from one fan to another. Skunk provides some quick tips on how to keep content spoiler free for your fellow community members here:

Hanging out with friends. Shhhhh... They're sleeping. Or something.

Quoting the official guide: "Note that animals are one of a kind: once you kill them, they were looking not appear again. Be sure to skin them and take care not to leave any loot behind. If you do, note that irreplaceable parts required to create talismans/trinkets are automatically sent to the trapper." Says nothing about the legendary fish and how they are handled.

I have been wondering about this myself though. Do the legendary fish act the same as animals? Meaning, when you kill a legendary animal it automatically shows up at the trapper. If you catch a legendary fish and have an issue like poor @Slayer Fan, does it automatically show up at the post office or with Gill? 🤔

That's not a glitch, it's historically accurate. People used to do that...all the time...long ago.

From what I read, he did much, MUCH more to her. He basically built his channel (temporarily) around finding creative and inventive ways to kill her, like putting her on train tracks and tossing her off bridges. Not saying it's right or wrong to censor him, but there's more to the story. YouTube is owned by Google. Google is a very... progressive company, so I could see them closing the channel for that. I don't know. WIll PETA have enough pull to shut down my channel on YT over the multiple "Suicide by Horse" videos I'll be posting soon? (I've already started). I mean, I"m punching the horse on purpose to initiate suicides, but if I don't get too many views, I should be fine.

I am just happy the campaign ads are off tv. I can't stand attack ads. Sometimes in one commercial segment I get 4 or 5 in a row.

Reminder: There was an achievement in the original RDR for hogtying a prostitute and putting her on the train rails to be hit. Regardless, let's stop regulating 'how' people choose to play a game, especially a Rockstar game where, pretty much, anything goes.

These are looking good! Next we need to get a gun thread going!

I'm much more crude in my killing. I find a long, narrow hallway, like the back of the saloon in Valentine. When I get bored I blow the head off of Frontier Jack (or whatever that blowhard's name is), and then retreat behind the barber stand with my back against the door. As they come in, they get funneled to the hallway and I unload with my dual scholfields. I'll take a picture of the corpse wall next time--I was too caught up in the moment when it was happening last night at 3AM

I'm surprised that I've stayed fairly centered on that scale. Everything seems to balance out for me.

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.
