It might be easier to think of 'best' in terms of specific sub-genres - computer game is too broad! I have favourite RPGS, favourite beat 'em ups, favourite FPS', favourite tower defence etc If forced to smash all the genres together, then I'll say that RDR2 will likely make my top 10 on the only criteria that matters to me - 'how much have I enjoyed it?'. In the 'personal pleasure' rankings I'd put RDR2 up there with Morrowind, Street Fighter 2, North and South, Destiny, Phoenix, Asteroids, Double Dragon, Resident Evil, General Chaos, Operation Stealth, Millenium 2.2, Jade Empire, Kung-Fu Kaos, and many other games over the years I've got a lot of fun out of

No, side quests can close after certain chapters or if you pass them by. Some hang around a bit, ithers don't. Do the as you get them.

Different people enjoy the game in different ways. Different people get different things out of games. There is no bad/wrong fun, just personal preferences. One can argue for one type of play style offering perhaps a richer or longer or more aesthetically pleasing experience than another, sure - but ultimately folk will subjectively decide for themselves.

I'm pretty sure there no clear causal link between texting with net-speak use and illiteracy. Indeed, I think I came across some research one time indicating the opposite - somewhat akin to the myth of swearing being a sign of linguistic ineptitude. Probably far more a simple correlation between stupid kids in dysfunctional environments spending lots of time on a phone.

Is it one of the outfits you have to have high honor to access?

I think he might be unkillable and just keep respawning. Anyone confirm?

n00bs and nubs ... I like this modern vernacular.

I imagine that they had a right to report murder, even of racists, back in the late 1800s. It might not be illegal to murder racists in America these days, but we must remember the game is set in a darker time. Edit: Actually, I think I lost honor at one encounter because I just watched rather than intervened??? shame, because as noted above, they are quite funny.

I feel as if I've already responded to this ...?? Many stranger missions are time sensitive and go only be done during certain main story chapters, after certain prerequisites and before certain cut-off points. There is no way to go back to them after you've passed certain points in the game. Sorry. Basically, if you want to do every missable mission in the game you have to play slowly through the main story chapters, with high honour, activating and completing each optional mission as you go before moving on. Having the guidebook really helps you plan this out. Even then, it's still hard to do everything in a single playthrough and most people will likely have to play the game at least twice in order to do everything (you have to play through more than once in order to see the dialogue and ending variations anyway).

Haven't done that yet because I'm total white hat. Will have to wait until I become evil to do many challenges.

Further disturbing spoiler about one arm man:

How weird? I killed the raven too, but didn't do anything with the body. No feather in the wrist. I suspect that is a glitch.

As above:

Real men hunt cougars and grizzlies with their bare hands. Let us know how you get on with that

Middle of a mission or ongoing encounter? High bounty somewhere? Gangs nearby? I've never had this, so I'm just guessing.

First: SPOILERS! Please use the spoiler block, and indicate spoilers in your title. PLEASE! Second: No, there's no way to do missed missions afterwards. Sorry.

I think NPCs react to: masks, drawn guns, dirty and bloodstained clothing, sickness - and I think that's about all. But I might be wrong. Edit: Oh, and if you are wearing a hat you stole from them, lol.

The regular paperback official guidebook. It's not that expensive. Get it in any gameshop. Well worth it, trust me.

This is why I always recommend the guide. The game does a very bad job at explaining everything. It is a different experience having the guide - you get a lot more out of the game, IMHO.

There's a difference between stranger missions, stranger dialogues, stranger ongoing events, random encounters, and quests. For example, a stranger mission series is indicated by a question mark or letters in a white zone on the map. These are missable and time sensitive. Some of these optional missions arise from camp members. Some are unlocked at only set chapters, some have prerequisites, some only open at set honor ranks. A random encounter is a white dot echo on the map, and some/many of these respawn or reoccur. stranger dialogues are when you have non-mission interactions with weirdoes across the map. They are usually multiple staged and change post epilogue. In that sense they are time sensitive. ongoing events, like the home building, follow set time/place patterns and you can either join in at that time, or at a later stage (it will be different), or miss them. It's hard to do all theses without knowing them in advance. some camp member item requests are only available at certain chapters after certain interactions - like playing poker with person X during chapter 3 - they are easily missable. easter eggs vary between places of special interest, unique items, unique documents, and time sensitive events (being at certain place and time).

People have confirmed elsewhere the Gavin guy does. Weird. See the mislabelled Garry thread for more on this guy. Edit: what do they mean random encounters don't respawn? I've seen the bounty hunters carrying a victim a hundred times!

Good luck
