The urination hotkey is P, because of course it is. E: I also wonder how a mod like that works with long time skips like Guarma, or if it's designed for the postgame. E2: for Teriyaki, you make small game arrows by combining a shotgun shell, an arrow, and a flight feather in the crafting menu. You don't need a recipe. They're only good for squirrels and sparrows and such, rabbits don't die from an SGA. For those guys you need a varmint rifle. Philippe fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Jan 6, 2024 |

What do you do with money after you've bought out the guns you want, pimped out your horse/clothes, bought all camp upgrades, etc? I'm sitting at about $2k after using this guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqBDge3h46U ) plus doing the Poison Trail treasure hunt and buying everything I could possibly need. Also I unfortunately just found out that both Greenshot and the Microsoft HDR view capture both don't work well with this game, so a lot of the really nice views I've seen are just screenshots of the pause menu or whatever. Guess I'll have to use Steam's built-in screenshot capture instead from now on. Still, this game looks really, really amazing at max settings on PC. Example of a night scene in Valentine:  My pimped out Arthur (need to put his black tie back on, Saint Denis is primo for classy suited up cowboy clothes):  E: this game really deserves either a big TV or a good OLED monitor to play on to bring out its full beauty.

Greenshot doesn't work for you? I got it to work real well, but I used the crop tool (ctrl+prntscrn) and had the game in borderless windowed mode.

I've used it a bunch for  games, all by using the crop function on the entire screen. Never had an issue. I don't recommend using it in games without a photo mode, because the screen freezes while the game carries on.

The implementation of HDR on PC is definitely just poo poo in this game, and probably quite likely due to Windows as much as R* but this is still up there for best looking game available. A fully tricked out Cyberpunk with RT Path Tracing probably takes it in raw fidelity, but the art direction of RDR2 is something else. A path traced RDR 2 would be obscene.

I stayed up until 5 am last night just whiling away at RDR2 and finally got to the same story beat where I stopped two years ago (ie after they finish fishing and arrive at their new lake campsite). This time around, however, I've been "taking breaks" in between missions by going out hunting, collecting bounties etc and it's soooo much better this way. Like there was a heavy beat with Arthur contemplating their inevitable extinction as outlaws, so I decide to RP it as "gently caress it, I'm gonna chill out by heading to the mountains and hunting down a legendary buck". I mean, that's what I'd do under the circumstances. Doing what you can to get into Arthur's shoes makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable and immersive. Highly recommend!

Yeah that's the main thing I like about this game. You're encouraged to take breaks, pick flowers, go hunting, etc. I'm doing more camp stuff this time around (I always end my sessions by going back to camp and sleeping, I do chores at the start, and I pay attention to conversations and such). I think I'm gonna get most of the cosmetic upgrades, because they look nice and it's a reason to go out and find specific things.

I suspect some of the crowd density is only going to be there on mission, which is fine. There's a small number of animations in RDR2 where they do the same sort of next level poo poo, like when someone chucks a shotgun to Arthur.

So, uh, how do I do heists/robberies without it becoming a huge shoot-out with the whole town? I did the one at the gun shop in Saint Denis with the illicit poker room upstairs and they took too long to open the safe, so a police officer wandered in which commenced a huge massacre of the entire Saint Denis police force, resulting in a total of about $430 in fines, meaning it was a huge net loss. Exciting, but thoroughly unprofitable/costly.

I've been in the mood of completing collection quests and trinkets/talismans lately, so I did the rock carving collection quest last night: That was pretty trippy seeing the ending of that quest line with Sinclair actually being a baby. I'm guessing he needed to piece together a blueprint to travel through time to ensure his own birth? Weird stuff. Is it possible to complete the Legendary Animals collection in chapter 3? I think there are 4 animals left that are gated behind main story content, but I'm reluctant to check since there are warnings of spoilers.

I installed the 4 seasons mod and Vestigia, but I might've used the wrong version because it says it's summer and 26 degrees, but it's not hot, and three was also a snowstorm in Valentine  Maybe I installed a climate change mod by accident. Also I only just discovered that (o)possums will actually play possum if you get too close to them! You even get the skin/pick up carcass options, lol. This game...

Okay, so for my legendary animal checklist I still have panther, cougar, pronghorn, tatanka bison, and alligator left. I think somebody said 4 of these are still gated behind story missions, but I'm counting five. Is there one I can still get in the middle of chapter three?

You can kill the alligator after a certain mission in chapter 4, the other ones unlock in the epilogue.

To actually talk about the game design, I really enjoy how adeptly Rockstar is able to integrate its thematic elements into gameplay. When you get to Saint Denis you also begin getting more modern weapons, and with how theyve chosen to make using the action of the guns a distinct button press, getting semi-automatic weapons immediately makes you more casually lethal. I really love how this falls into the wider theme of how the modern, industrialized world has a much more callous disregard for human life Another place this is used is the epilogue, also to great effect. When you, as John Marston finally ride out to fight the rustlers hassling your employer it feels really cathartic. Maybe this is just me, but when it happened I thought to myself "Hell yeah, time for a gunfight again." And this moment really I think explains why Abigail chooses to leave, which a lot of people misinterpret. When that moment happens, the player feels probably how John Marston feels, ready to engage in brutal violence to escape the drudgery of ranching life. Which makes how fun the homebuilding section is also work really well, because it represents John AND the player finally ready to put down violence and find joy in domestic life. tldr: Rockstar really captured how to integrate gameplay into wider narrative themes in this game
