It seems odd to me that a 20 year old game with a new coat of flashy paint wins. Also I am surprised that the Assassin Creed game was not liked by anyone. Oh, and Brad's favorite game Destiny 2 isn't there!
A week or so ago there was a link on the main page to create a user list for GotY 2018. So I clicked it and made a list. I want to go back and edit it or at least look at what I put on it. Searched the site and cannot find the link back?
There are ton of questionable design decisions in RDR2 that people can legitimately gripe on. Even as somebody that likes the game I found myself yelling angrily at many times. Just what were they thinking that you don't reach a point where you can fast travel anywhere at any time? I keep having to ride from one side of the map to the other and most of the time nothing interesting happens on the journey. The save/restore system is shit. There are bugs and odd annoying things will sometimes happen. The controls don't always work as expected or desired. Half my life is spent getting my rifles back off my horse. I can completely see where Dan is coming from. But I have more time to devote to a single game than he does as a game professional, so I will just take my time and go with it.
I have 2 store codes that I would like to give away to someone who will use them. I will post one now and one tomorrow in this same topic so the same person has less chance of getting both of them. I tested them and they work. I guess the first person to place an order with it gets it.
I have been playing 3-4 hours every night since this game came out and I am still in Chapter 2. I haven't even unlocked fishing yet. "No, dude, I don't want to race you now in the opposite direction I am going. I have to get this perfect elk pelt back to camp to make a new fashionable bag." "I knew you was yeller!"
@fetchfox: Oh, noes. Uncle was the first one I did. Thanks for telling me!
Should I start over? I have a save right at the beginning of chap 2. I think it wouldn't bother me to start over. I am in no rush to finish. It says I am at 22% but I only have done 3 story missions yet.
I am having a hard time seeing things. Like if I hear someone yelling when I am riding around, where are they. Sometimes I can pull up the map and see a white dot, other times not. This guy challenged me to shoot some bottles faster than him. I couldn't even see most of the bottles.
I was way out in the boonies and across a camp. Seems any time I spend at a camp the guy starts to recognize me (from Blackwater?) and runs off. So I shot him and and then I was dinking around in the camp because I was way out in the wilderness and thought it was safe. So I made a bunch of cross bullets (individually, c'mon!) and was cleaning my gun when it says "someone is coming to investigate". I guess a passer by saw the body. I start looking for him but I don't see anybody. Then suddenly "WITNESS" and a red dot shows on the map so I start chasing it on my horse. I just can't go fast because these are steep narrow mountain paths that if my horse trips it will die. But that guy, he was like lightning on those same paths. Suddenly I have a bounty even though he couldn't possibly have found a lawman out there.
Then I see a guy that looks like he is trying to pull his horse out of some mud so I stop to help. As I approach he seems agitated that I am coming towards him so I push L2 to pull up the "calm down/greet" and at exactly that instant there is a bang like a gunshot and the guy falls over dead and his horse bolts. Did the horse kick him? It gave me a -rep for it. What did I do wrong? My gun was not out.
Fist fighting? I just pound O because nothing else seems to do anything. It says [] will block but it never works for me. And you are supposed to be able to throw someone grappling you. That never works.
This game seems filled with jank but I still want to keep playing it.
So it seems you have to do that Hosea mission before horses and stables will work the way they do in the rest of the game. That is probably true for other stuff too. Essential those are tutorial missions but it doesn't tell you that. The game seems trying to hide game-type information from you to keep the world illusion more pure? After that Hosea mission it said I unlocked the "trapper" as well and then said I should someone name something like Pierson to learn about the trapper. I have no idea who this Pierson is and he doesn't seem to be on the map. I also have completed a side mission and the guy who gave me the mission is nowhere on the map for me to collect my reward. This is a weird game.
I have played 10 hours and I have only done 1 story mission yet. In that mission I took a wagon from camp to a town with a dude and 3 ladies. After the mission those people had abandoned me so I was stuck in town with no horse. So I didn't know what to do so I just jumped on a nearby horse and started riding it around town and we became bonded. Then I went into a building and when I came out my horse from camp was standing there next to my new horse. (?) I then jumped on my camp horse and went off into the wilderness and did a bunch of stuff. There is still an icon in town for that new horse that says "temporary horse".
So here is where it gets interesting. I catch another horse out in the wilderness and rode it enough to be lv 1 bonded. My camp horse is tied to a tree this whole time. I then went and did a side mission and when I came back that new horse I caught is gone, but the town still has my temporary horse on the map. My camp horse was still where I tied it to a tree which wasn't very far, luckily.
I have some questions about this. WTF? If I catch a horse in the wilderness and want to keep it, what I do? Especially if I don't want to abandon the horse that got me there. I am guessing I have to somehow lead it to a blacksmith? The blacksmith in that town just looked at me funny when I tried interacting with him, though. Will that temporary horse always just be wondering around that town? How did my camp horse teleport to me? I guess that one is special because it has my main saddle? Will it teleport around like that often? If I leave that horse somewhere or it dies do I lose all the junk in my saddle? I am so confused.
