As far as 'griefing' goes. The current problem is still auto aim and blips. The blips not showing up at long distance does wonders for avoiding hostile players. Forcing them to actually go out of their way to find people. But in many areas, like towns, players will eventually show up. So this game sort of promotes close range/town griefers. Heres a quick clip showing what I mean. Heres a guy that just mowed down someone outside of a shop. The person who came out pressed charges against him. So, me, being a trouble seeker and hearing all kinds of gun shots down the street. Decided to head on over and see what the fuss is about. As I get close to the area.. My blip shows up to that player, he instantly auto aims at my head. (But im saved by my hat). I instantly turn on Slippery Bastard... Now his auto aim is gone and hes turned into exactly what he is.. A pest who couldn't shoot his way out of a paper bag. So I choke his ass out and stomp his nuggets.. ( And then the cops get angry at me?) As of now.. Im a snake oil addict thanks to lack of Free Aim lobbies. I can get enough of the sh*t, all slippery all the time.

I can't speak for anyone else. But it depends on how it started.. And the how the hostile player escalates or de-escalates it. I've had many cheap shot artists cool off and keep their weapons in their pants after a few deaths. At that point I usually stop targeting them as the fight is over. Im not about to start spawn killing someone whos no longer fighting back. But.. if they keep coming back. As far as my blip going red goes.. The redder the better.

Yesterday in Up In Smoke, there was a guy running Slippery Bastard with dual sawed off shotguns just running around and blasting us at our base. He got me a few times then I thought to just tackle him. Blowing his face off after tackling him was sweet revenge lol

Lately things have gotten better, but no matter what your opinion is people that target you for no real reason are a pain in the butt, how you chose to deal with them is completely up to you. We all have adopted strategies that allow us to co-exist. Lately I dont take any chances, even if that means raising my hostility level by shooting first, BUT I only shoot first after fair warning or when it is clearly obvious they intend to mess with me. So, the guy who came by with his lasso out obviously didnt understand that in defensive mode that isnt going to work, probably no need to shoot hiim, but.. I did tell him, that isnt going to work man, learn the game before you just start shooting, then if he persists in anyway I just shoot him. I have seen 100% decline in this type of activity lately. It still happens, but if you are prepared for the worst, you alwasy have the upper hand, I keep my ammo and guns ready to go at all times, If I am hunting I keep one slot to my lancaster with exploding ammo and the other on my Springfield, or sometimes a bow with dyna arrows, it doesnt take much to discourage a try hard with no clue, thankfully I dont see too many skilled quality players griefing, mostly newer players beginning to learn the game. Ive been so bored lately that I decided to start an anti griefing group, we plan to form a group of one or two 7 man posse's then patrol, the red blip patrol, if you are a red blip, we are coming for you, not necessarily to kill you but we are going to decide when we find you. If your red for defending or shooting first at someone who was going to mess with you then you are good to go with us, but if you are red and attacking blue players, it's on. 7 guys in two groups from three sides with heavy ammo are going to descend on you and it wont be pretty for you. I just feel like hey I am bored stiff, the only worth while activity I can see is to hunt the hunters the players who enjoy harassing others and killing players in defensive mode, this is giving the game all new possibilities and meaning. A patrol of players who have been griefed and came together to keep others from the same fate. To me it is time well spent. I started doing this myself and decided this would be great with a few friends, better yet a second posse of 7 so even if half of the guys couldnt get n, we still have 5 to 7 players working together, and that is tough to stop or prevent, I dont care who you are. I think it gives both sides some entertainment, lets face it most griefers just want to have some fun gun fights, so lets give it to them,

So, if you make 3 outfits, and save them to your horse, then go to "outfits" in your wardrobe and save to horse, you can actually save 5 outfits. I was able to do it both yesterday and today. yesterday I was able to tweak the "grizzlies" outfit and make it my cold weather outfit while still retaining the others. It isnt perfect, but we are getting closer to a time when we can name our custom outfits and save them, so you can have 5 saved outfits. I like this as I have a posse outfit, my group outfit, my free roam outfit, cold weather outfit and pvp outfit, plus you have your posse outfits that are built in, so essentially 7 outfits. Anyway below is a pic showing 5 of 5 outfits saved to my horse.

Hi all, I was wondering if there were any life lessons that we could possibly learn from the game. Whether the lesson is obvious or low-key throughout the story. There was a Youtube video that talked about real life lessons could be learned from RDR1, but nothing similar that had to with RDR2. Note: This is my first original post about any game in general, so I decided to put the spoiler warning out of courtesy, and out of uncertainty.

it's a game..... Oh here's one, Don't be a Dutch and screw your people over

@HuDawg what’s your gamer tag? We need to go huntin’

Ah ok, thank you for the info and the link, and thanks for the warm welcome.

For those players that like to play PvP modes. I figure this out a few months ago. Not sure if many players know about this? Since R* doesn't give you a visual option when you tackle a player. Instead of tackling & pressing B to Subdue a player, which you'll hit the player in the face with the buttstock of the rifle or Shotgun. You can tap RT & shot the player in the face. Here is a few examples in the video. I think the shotgun is the best execution hehehehe

excellent tips. If you get attack from behind, either by getting choked or if someone grabs you and shoves a gun to your back. You can counter that by hitting B. Which you will spin 180 out of the attack & face your attacker. But you have to be quick or you will get choked out or shot.

I just want the real Call of Duty back. Military based shooters that have amazing gameplay. Not some space shooter with robots and jet packs with the game filled with micro-transactions. Call of Duty used to be about the military and actually tell you somewhat of a history.

Ya.. that's always useful. Another one is if you're crouching and stopped or slow creeping and press B. And if you have no weapons in your hands, you will instantly ONE hit KO someone with a hard right hook. From behind you'll choke them out. With a weapon in your hand you will slap them and set them up for a shot to the face. From behind you'll grab them and shove a gun to their back.

@lumper and whoever else may not realize this...... You can quote multiple people within one post. Once you're done responding to one quote and before posting your response, quote the next post and it will appear below your previous response in the editor. We prefer this as we don't like to have consecutive posts being made in threads. I would appreciate it as it makes threads a little less lengthy, more tidy and easier to read through. I also have no idea how to edit posts with quotes together as I can't seem to copy quotes within posts. .....so I can't come back through and tidy things up like I can with others. Thanks.

So at what point are you going to stop your pursuit? Before or after you become the dark red blip on the map that others are going to target for being a griefer? I Can't wait for the bounty hunter role.

If you want speed, stamina and good handling then the Arabian is a good pick. Very jittery though freaks out at most things. Fox trotter is fast with good stamina. But dies easily. Jittery as well. Turkoman is a good all round horse for speed, health , stamina doesn't freak out. Shire horse is real tanky. Saddles/stirrups count as well for perks. Best way to go is experiment. Find out what best suits your play style. Asking other players can be good but most of the responses you will get are subjective. Is that helpful?

the point of new austin is to teach your horse about rocks. cactus and snakes
