are you tired of pesky witnesses always tattling to the local law enforcement and getting you into all kinds of shenanigans? a top tip from an ex-outlaw is this: always carry your trusty springfield rifle, it makes shooting witnesses dead a doddle. it works 60% of the time, every time. disclaimer: sometimes doesn't work as some members of the local law enforcement have undergone rigorous psychic training and can detect wrongdoing in a wide radius around themselves, depending on if their mental energies and cerebral chakras are properly aligned.

R* can suck my tiny dick for ruining my immersion and not forcing me to have to take regular bowel movements to ensure arthur maintains his stamina core. what a piece of poo poo game. they missed out on a goldmine, having to wipe your rear end with a leaf, your own coattails or your horse's tail is immersive gameplay 101. and then the fact you'd be forced to regularly wipe down your saddle to remove caked on shite stains from all your rough wilderness living, what were they thinking?

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
So when I next play I'm going to get my crime on. Was going to try holding up a train, I guess try to take over the cab at night, park it on a bridge and go through the carriages?

How about stores? It seems potentially short sighted. Or am I good so long as I go in wearing a mask?

Is my only option for a Varmint Rifle to purchase one? I'm poor because I'm on Chapter 2 and literally have just been living out in the wild. I guess I should get money by way of Story Missions?

don't rob trains at night unless it's a busy train leaving from a city. I went through so much headache robbing a train at night, only to see it was bone empty and I walked out with a few cans of beans, some gin and that was it. I think I nabbed a $10 money clip as well. rob trains when they're busy. I had to fight off so many lawmen and I barely made any money from it

I'm p sure you get the varmint rifle for free from doing a mission, but I can't remember. it's only $72 or something, that poo poo's easy to make. just go killing and robbing for a bit, you'll make it up in no time. sell your provisions, fence your goods, you'll get it in maybe 20 minutes of work.

yo wtf why didn't i get a volcanic pistol in chapter 1?!

Is it a bug or by design that meat you cook can only be eaten from the satchel? It seems weird, but maybe they're deemed to good to just munch down in combat like tonics and stuff?

Weird. I looked in a Gunsmith Catalog and swear the only Varmint Rifle I saw was $225. Which I thought was oddly expensive.

There is a heck of a lot of stuff in this game you get one shot at without any tutorials. I'm going to restart once my xbonex arrives and try to hit all those white-circle missions before following the story, I'm also treating legendary animals like I'm handling nitrogen.

The bounty hunters can go gently caress themselves. Getting sight of a legendary animal and then blip, no can't see it now as bounty hunters are on their way, isn't a fun mechanic.

Well it seems it not only spooked the animal it spooked it to death. I somehow have the skin but didn't kill it.



Guess it's forever stuck at 66%. Hope it means I still get the outfits...

I’ve spent way too much time creeping around people’s houses out in the woods with the sack mask on and taking everything they own. I don’t know why you’d spend all that time hunting when you can just steal everyone’s canned vegetables and bits of bread.

flight feathers and animal fat for making stuff, esp. fire arrows and explosive rifle rounds (get both from geese, ducks)

i cannot wrap my head around the difficulty people are having with the bounty system. literally just leave the scene of the crime. you have so much time to leave. don’t loving worry about the witness, someone will just wind up seeing you silence the witness and you’re still hosed. but if you just aren’t actively still at the crime scene when the law finally shows up you won’t be caught

it’s literally just that John Mulaney bit about crime in the 30s, except it also applies to crime in the 1800s

https://youtu.be/rmcwqe5-Si0

i don’t think I’ve gotten a bounty once outside of story mandatory ones, and I’ve never bothered with the bandana or anything. my big secret maneuver is to just not actively still be doing a crime when the law shows up

if you’re getting a bounty because a bunch of lawmen actively see you doing a crime, then I mean, yeah

Alright, the mission in Chapter 6 where (minor objective spoilers) you need to retrieve the sacred items from the army campsite without the soldiers noticing. Just... how in the goddamn hell am I supposed to stealth my way through the camp without anyone getting alerted? I'm gonna assume there's no real penalty for having to gun down all those idiots aside from maybe Rains Fall yelling at you for your incompetence, but I'd like to do this properly and it's just not happening because one of those jerks always spots me when I'm doing a stealth knockout or something.

Is this game really meant for a PS4 Pro or something? I have had this game crash to dashboard more times than any other console game I can remember, and that includes Bethesda Fallout games which always crash. It's getting ridiculous. I have a 2015ish PS4.

So fishing talk, when I get a fish that pulls the line back out when it struggles am I supposed to hold the R3 button down or just tap it to keep the line from dragging out? I also saw someone say holding R2 during the struggle keeps your line from dragging.

Yeah of all the real issues this game has with unreliable controls and obtuse systems, accidentally getting bounties isn't really something I'm experiencing - often I'll do poo poo and be surprised to find later that I did not get a bounty when I could have sworn I did. When I do it's because i don't mind, and when this happens it's just a few bucks paid to the telegram office. I'm pretty fast and loose with my casual trail robberies too.

Man I had to pay off like $450+ western buckeroos because of all the gotdang bounties on my head after killing an army of lawmen and bounty hunters across two townships or someshit and now I'm broke as HELL.

I better buckle down and do some story missions or something because I ain't winning any high stakes poker games anytime soon.

Excellent, thanks. Really helps when you have some idea where the stuff actually is. I still almost hosed that up because I got Arthur got stuck on some barrels as I was leaving. :downs: Also, one guy was glitching out and walking in place, but didn't see me despite looking right at me.

I've played about 50 hours on a standard PS4 and maybe 5 hours on a One X and the One X is vastly, vastly better. Don't know what you're upgrading from but I would do it if you can reasonably afford to.
