  1. I quite happily threw away two or three days worth of game play to get back a beloved horse.  I wouldn't have really minded losing a few collectables as it would mean I play the game for longer, and I really did enjoy taking my time with this game.

    Outside of this thread, I've never heard of this unsurvivable random attack - most ambushes you can simply ride away from if you don't want to stand your ground.  This event might be a glitch.

    I havent noticed any difference in game play when riding a top tier horse.  Indeed, the difference in stats doesn't make a significant difference in gameplay.

  2. You'll need to read the small print or contact Playstation store support if the item description clearly states that you'll get the play guide as a download.

    Note that the Xbox version of the Ultimate edition doesn't mention the play guide at all.  I'm fairly sure it only comes with the physical copy of the game.

    Have a look on eBay, there's bound to be many of these for sale from people who have beaten the game (or moved onto other things).

  3. It’s as simple as it says. Just look at ten different species of animals using the binoculars and hit the “track” button. 

    Theres no time limit, you don’t have to kill them. Bear in mind that the pop up banner won’t appear on each new one you track. For others of these challenges, you either need to keep a mental count or just keep doing the action until you get told you have completed the challenge.

  4. " The reticle will be red if it’s set to hit. "

    And remember to be conservative with your shots.  If you shoot someone after the first bullet is fatal, it'll probably count as a miss, so got for head-shots as much as you can (a lot of the time, a single headshot is fatal).

     

  5. Yeah, I found Far Cry 5 was pretty good.  It has fishing too, arguably more rewarding than it is in RDR2.  People basically fished in FC5 purely for the pleasure of it in much the same way as people enjoy hunting and fishing in RDR2.

  6. Spoiler

    True, but the plot of "Shadow" ended up with Lara causing the huge flood and untold deaths in her pursuit of the artifact.  She killed a heck of a lot more innocent people than Trinity did.  It was pretty unsettling to watch her arguing with Jonah when he wanted her to stay and help the injured.

     

     

  7. Yes, it does.  That screen where you see what time of day it is also shows the temperature.

    I've always ignored it - every day and everywhere is short sleeves weather.  Arthur/John just eats more when he's cold - I never really bothered with different hot/cold outfits.

    It maybe worth checking out, but so far the game that came closest to getting it right (when it comes to reality) was Medal of Honor: Warfighter - from back in the day.

    I agree, Warfighter was pretty darned good.  You might also remember "Spec Ops: The Line", which had a pretty amazing story that really forced some tough choices on you.

    I've kind of fallen out of love with these "on the rails" kind of military shooters - they all end up being pretty much the same and have little to give once the short campaign has finished.  I don't play online, so spending £40-50 for 12 hours gameplay isn't really worthwhile to me.

  9. The map unfogs as you move into the area.

    You can't get into the south-western portion of the map yet for story-related reasons (it'll open up later in the game), but for the rest, you're free to explore as much as you like between story/stranger missions.

  10. The same way as you do in the story mode, I beleive.

    Go into the map screen and read the legend at the bottom of the screen for "set marker" or something like that (I'm not at my console right now).

  11. After you finish the game, you'll undoubtably find the next playthrough even more rewarding and immersive.  Many of us have restarted the story numerous times in order to fill in and enhance whatever we missed on previous play-throughs.

    It's really easy to play this game far too quickly.  Enjoy your time in the RDR2 world.

  12. I'm pretty sure that R* are capable of being respectful in terms of providing native American content.

    I'm less certain that a shameful minority of online players wouldn't get overly "realistic" in their abuse of anyone using that content online.

    Then again, that shameful minority will find other ways of abusing other players.
