New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Slow moving at first, to be expected considering it's a long story, definitely looks beautiful, so far so good

Spoilers ahead.
......

On the mission where you go with Hosea to hunt the grizzly, after the mission is over I decided to stay and hunt the super grizzly myself. I killed the grizzly, skinned him, and as I was hightailing it back to camp I came over a hill and my horse hit another guy on a horse at full speed. This fucker pulled his six shooter almost immediately and shot me dead, now I lost the skin for selling because it sent the skin to the trapper only to be used for crafting. Fuckin A lol.

lol, right after I got the bear I came across a woman who’s horse collapsed and she needed a ride. I would have needed to drop the pelt for her to get on the horse, I said nope woman you better get walking

Just played through the first standard missions...got my first chance just to walk around and explore. Unbelievable graphics..shit has come a long. Game play seems cool...little slow but will get used to it.

I've been doing everything but the missions lol, spent most of today playing dominoes and poker, and trying to go hunting on the side.

My only gripe with the game so far is it seems you can only put one or two smaller predator pelts on your horse at a time. I enjoyed going hunting in the first RDR where you can sit at one spot all day and collect like 5 bear pelts before you go sell them, but unless R* lets you upgrade the horse it seems like that won't be possible.

Facts. It's come a long way from the first RDR.

So I grab the horse to go exploring...left the camp and just went up the down a trail about 200 yards...the wind and snow picked up and on the screen it said turn around and go back to camp weather conditions too harsh. So I turned around and the horse keeled over and died. I was like what the fuck...turned it off

Wait until you get off the mountain to explore. That’s when the game opens up.

Little things keep surprising me about this game, I was in some rando's house robbing them, beat up this guy on my way in and left him on the floor. I was searching one of the bedrooms when he comes raging into the room and attacks me from behind, I thought he was down for the count lol! Took care of him proper the second time around.

So I've gotten to the first open world camp and I haven't done any missions yet...just exploring...probably couple hours of that...

What I found aggravating is whenever I'm out exploring, If I bump into 3 or more guys its tough..ive died like 3 times this...and when I come back Ive lost a great pelt or entire animal stowed on my horse each time. My Dead eye is a little rusty.

Do yall find pressure to sleep a lot? when its dark I do...but I feel I need to be back in base...Ive camped once out in the land.

I like the challenge so far...the ai has an itchy finger. I haven't been to the city yet on the map, going tonight probably.

[MTK]

Yeah it's definitely not forgiving when you die. I'm careful to get back to camp or to a butcher if I have pelts to unload before I mix it up with strangers.

I went and checked out Saint Denis. Wasn't there for 2 minutes before I got mugged lol. Then I went into a bar, accidentally shot off my gun and had a half dozen cops all over me.

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun getting lost in a game.

I only just completed the mission where you get to the stable and choose/name a horse. But I've been doing hella exploring, hunting, etc. I don't want to believe that I'm already 20% thru.

Also, I found a glitch where I saved my game just after finding a money clip in an abandoned cabin. When I loaded the game the next time the money clip was still there, I grabbed it and saved my game again, etc. etc.

It took 2 minutes each time I did this. I just got bored of doing it after about 30 minutes. I got $10-$15 each time.

Google gold bar glitch, you're wasting your time on $10-$15 lol

Gold bars get you $500 each at the fence

Everyone needs this

There's a gold bar glitch that works on the same principle, you turn off autosave, go find a gold bar chest, open the box, save the game, then grab the gold bar and it will replenish itself infinitely although you can only carry 30. I did the glitch but I haven't sold all the gold bars yet (at 500 per it's like 15k for all 30) because I know if I sell all 30 it will take away the grinding appeal. I sold one just because I'm tired of having 200 bucks to my name, but that's it. I'm sitting on the rest until the glitch gets fixed and it gets deleted or I find something to use it for.

Also my only major gripe is the disappointment I have towards hunting in the game. Idk if I haven't advanced far enough yet but every time I try hunting I can't find jack squat. I even threw down bait and nothing showed up. And this is after I did the mission where you hunt the mega-grizzly with Hosea. How are we supposed to find the spots where the predators hang?
