My pirate Arthur, 57,7% game completion when I logged off last night !

Pro tip to make Lanterns unnecessary:

I have a few: Winter outfit 1 and 2 Average temp outfit Hot temp outfit

D-pad down should expand the map if it isn't already, show the area, time, temp, amount of funds, etc. Not unlike GTAV if you're familiar with that UI.

Your eloquence and grace are an inspiration. I hope my sons grow up to be as beautifully articulate and intelligent.

Poor little entitled mellinial.

I've been following this forum and issue for over a week now, and, sadly, I finally caved and picked up an XBO X to resolve it. I work long hours at my job, waiting patiently for months to play this game, and am just tired of the day-to-day suspenseful wait to simply see whether Rockstar *is aware* of the issue. To whoever is doubting whether it's a legitimate issue on the PS4 Pro you're absolutely wrong. On the Pro with HDR the game is so muddy and blurry it looks like someone took a saturation and sharpness slider and dialed it back to -100. With HDR off a blur can be seen on character's faces and nearby objects in buildings that eventually becomes so distracting it will hurt your eyes. In 1080p the blur goes away, but the overall image quality falls noticeabl, with hair on head or horse looking pixelated and fuzzy to such an extent it looks like a PS3 game. I was prepared to be brutally honest with myself in determining whether the purchase was justified; the answer was clear within minutes. Image quality on the X has improved in all aspects substantially. There are many more details I wasn't able to see on the Pro: glitter on snow, a glow and flicker of candlelight, and lush facial animations. Overall, everything has become sharp and crisp. So to those questioning the legitimacy of this issue, don't. It's incredibly frustrating for anyone involved, and even though I have the correct experience in hand now, I definitely feel cheated. I'll play the game at least twice in first and third person and hopefully use the console for higher definition movie-watching, but hope this issue is resolved is resolved soon for those still stuck in wait.

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

On this mission, you can rob the room as many times as you'd like, even after the mission ends. Grab the gun, then run out the door and turn to the left to the sherrif's office to turn yourself in. If you ONLY KILL O'DRISCOLLS, your bounty will be less than $10, and you can pay that off easily. You can then repeat the theft and keep taking the money on the table ($50.00) and killing O'Driscolls. I did it about ten times and made $400.00+ easily. You can also keep looting scholfields and dual wield them once you get the off-hand holster.

Put an eye patch on him and he'd look like solid snake haha. Love it!

NICE BEARD!

Quite enjoying spending some more time around camp this time around. Although I just got knocked out by Bill for antagonising everyone

Just takin' a puff outside the barber. I love how different Arthur can look, depending on how you dress and shave him. It was hard to really capture how awesome this mustache is in self-portrait mode. It usually looks a lot straighter and pointier.

When I started this forum over a year ago I never thought it would explode like it has in recent weeks and would like to thank each and every one of you for contributing and making this the best Red Dead Redemption 2 community there is. Special shout out to our hardly hard working mods and also @jackson424242, our 1,000th member! I Can't believe we have reached this milestone so quickly since the game launched. 10,000 members next...

I get what you're suggesting but I think it's safe to say that RDR2 already has mass appeal. I don't see them changing the challenging or immersive components due to those who don't agree with the gameplay. .....I'm not talking about bugs, glitches, UI enhancements, etc. btw. I agree with you though. I've seen a handful of arguments in this forum regarding gameplay "issues" that seem to suggest that they are taking a hamfisted approach to their play. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... This game rewards finesse and penalizes heavy-handedness. ....and it's all the better for it IMO.

I'm 70% done, taking my time. I've even done all the bandit challenges, I've had my bounty up to $550. I not once have had an issue with bounty hunters unless it was intentional. Pay your bounties, sell some wagons or something. Unless you're playing as a total irresponsible bandito mass murderer, I don't see how this is possible. I've heard this and similar complaints only from people who don't fully understand the game mechanics or who don't want to actually put the work in and play the game. This isn't GTA. I think a lot of people expected this to be gta but with horses, and that isn't how these games are. I most certainly hope Rockstar doesn't start changing things just for mass appeal.

Wow dude... Calm yourself... Most of the comments were people actually trying to help you... Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious... You wouldn't be having these problems if you followed some of the advice here.

There is nothing more badass then being a dad. Especially now days when there are so few really good ones.

Come on Iron-Slinger show me what you got!

Im on Xbox one X. I have the disk, and no stuttering or dropping fps problems at all. Im using a premium (another name for high speed?) HDMI cable instead of the one that came with the xbox. Someone else has already stated to try that. TV is TCL 5 series with game mode turned on. Dont know if any of this helps...just throwing it out there. this is what im using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Let’s hope we get a patch soon I genuinely think this is an easy fix and personally I don’t think it’s anything to do with the game upscaling i wouldn’t let it put you off from playing it’s still an excellent game

YES! I've been seeing all these pictures and all I can think about is how their guns look with the outfit.

I guess I need to switch to whiskey while I play... I'll have to head back over and check it out.

Holy Aragorn, Batman! Edit: This is my new favorite thread on this forum.

I shot off his cuffs and let him tell me about the score then hog-tied him and threw him in the river.

Fun fact, did you know if you equip the pocket watch in your inventory, select it and choose "use" it will then display the pocket watch on the pause menu and the time displayed on the pocket watch is the actual time in the game. I was impressed with this level of detail. You can check it by pressing down on the d-pad to see the in-game time. Then press the pause button and the pocket watch reflects the same time. The little things they think of in this game are amazing.

Yeah, there are even a lot of somewhat hidden features in some of the controls. I'm still learning new ones as I go.

I can understand someone disagreeing with the mechanic but lazy? .....naw. It's just the way they designed the penalty system. You die, you lose you pelts. Who knows.... Maybe the animals were members of PETA. Save early, save often. ....btw, an example in my book of lazy programming is Ubisoft (IMO). GRW & FC5 to name two recent examples. Both could have been great games if they had half the passion, effort and creativeness R* shows in some of their game mechanics.

must be all that Walker Texas Ranger I watched as a kid. Only thing I'd like to do is hide the man purse. Not a big fan of it.

Make noise people, don't stop. https://support.rockstargames.com/community/360000680454

Right? I love how you can make Arthur pretty much to your liking. The only limitations are facial structural features and hair color.

Rockin the Theodore Roosevelt!

Kean you are on top of your game brother.😎

Profile pic checks out.

This sounds like a good idea. I will definitely bring this idea up with the staff, and see what they have to say about it. Meanwhile, I already finished the game so the spoilers do not bother me, but I try and catch the spoilers and hide them before other users start seeing them. Knowing the forum is getting bigger and bigger every day, it's getting challenging to catch every spoiler that is posted, which is why I think your idea could work. Thank you for the suggestion, and I apologize for the spoiled content that you saw before we could get to it.

Is a guess considered a spoiler?

Ever have a bounty hunt go as stupidly as this one? In my defense, it was about 2 am, and my brain had long since began to drift... I picked up a bounty mission in Valentine. Just had to go near Wallace Station, capture a woman outlaw, and return her alive to the Valentine jail. I had a $300 bounty on my own head in West Elizabeth (thanks a lot, Micah!), but it shouldn't be a problem, as I only had to step across the county line briefly. My first few attempts were all foiled by bounty hunters coming after me just as I was approaching my target. That would start a mission lock-down, and my target would disappear. I ran a couple of times, and stayed to fight (and die) twice. There were just too many of them. I decided to pay off the bounty and come back later. Went on to other stuff, and made enough money to pay off the bounty after a bit. I happened to be in Saint Denis when I decided to try again, so I took the train to Wallace Station instead of riding since it was so far away. Made it there only to discover that my horse did not follow. I tried camping and sleeping in hopes it would spawn nearby, but no luck. And for some reason, there is no stable within miles of this area. So I just went in on foot. I figured maybe she had a horse I could steal. She did not. I hog-tied her and started carrying her back to Valentine on foot. Let me tell you, it is a long, long trek! But maybe I would find a horse along the way. Hmm... where is everybody? I've been carrying this lady for MILES, and there's nobody around. I got about two-thirds of the way there, and finally someone comes by on a horse. Of course I shot him in the head to take his steed, but as soon as I do, I get the message: MISSION FAILED. YOU RECEIVED A BOUNTY. (Or something like that). Respawned, still without my horse, back near Wallace Station again. It was now about 3 am, but I was stubborn and stupid. Hog-tied her again, and ran her all the way back to Valentine on foot. Got a whole $25 for my effort, so I guess it was worth it, right? Arthur called it a night, and softly cried himself to sleep.

Just to chime in and add to what you said. There are TWO distinct and separate problems with RDR2 on PS4 Pro. 1 - 4K Checkerboard Rendering from a 1080p source is absolutely ridiculous. With an added, aggressive AA solution, resulting in a blurry image. It is absolutely NOT anything to do with TV settings. Because every other PS4 game looks BETTER than RDR2 on PS4 Pro. This is simply unacceptable from the highest profile game developer on the planet. 2 - HDR is fake. Not even just broken, but absolutely a FAKE implementation - this has been proven by measuring the color ranges in the supposedly "HDR" mode. But this is not only on Ps4 Pro. This is on every platform. And R* knows they implemented a FAKE HDR solution. It was no accident. And therefore they should not get a free pass because they LIED to their consumers.

Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in Tombstone is basically my goal with Arthur - still working on the mustache length.

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.

There is 6 chapters and 2 epilogues, and I already finished the game. How am I defending the mechanics when I literally just said the criminal system is sensitive? 🤷‍♀️

I don't believe it's possible... I prefer manual painting, but my wife is playing too and she's not that great at it. I think people should have the option to do that. I researched it for about 20 minutes about half an hour ago, and it doesn't look like there's any way to change it back.

I wouldn't say "outlaw", but I'm a big believer in the axiom, "work smarter, not harder". If people want to play the game blundering around like a bull in a china shop, be my guest--just don't come in here whining about how "unfair" the wanted system is when you get attention for standing over a dead body, rifling through the pockets like some Neanderthal. To be fair, I'm "White Hatting" this until I unlock the PS Trophy for "Maximum Goodness". After that, I'm going to turn into the biggest jackass this side of the Rio Grande.

Old enough to kick ass and take names. Really, I don't know. He is aged but he isn't old. It will be interesting to see how his age is compared to John's. He was 38 when RDR starts out.
