Exploring New Austin post game and found a corpse near the southwestern most point of the map. Went up to inspect it and it was the body of a Jesuit Missionary. John opens up the journal and sketches it, and makes a little note about "found a poor old man and it chilled me for whatever reason." It's been a long time since I've played RDR but is that a reference to something in that game perhaps? Just kind of weird, there didn't seem to be anything else for me to do there.

Has anybody been able to get those gold duplication glitches to work? I had it work once but now I can only pic up 2 bars/billfolds and that's it.

loving Pearson doesn't even acknowledge you post game, what the hell. We were family, Pearson. Also I had a grand time rolling through New Austin wasting the Del Lobos. Got myself a permanently unlockable sombrero from the ol' Twin Rocks hideout. Made a pretty stupid mistake that was kind of hilarious too. After seeing the state of Armadillo and seeing that Thieve's Landing was a gang hideout, I decided to head into Tumbleweed thinking that it probably was too. Sure enough, place looks deserted upon first approach. I go to the church at the beginning of town and see it has a fat padlock on it. Since you can shoot locks in the game, I try to shoot the lock off, but to no avail. What does happen is a crime is witnessed, and I see a guy running toward me and shouting. I panic and put a load of buckshot into his guy only to discover I just killed a lawman. One rolling gunfight out of Tumbleweed later and I am quickly bemoaning the lack of places to pay off a bounty in New Austin. At some point I head back there and see an event where a guy drags a bounty up to Tumbleweed's sheriff. Well the sheriff there is apparently beyond sick of the Del Lobos poo poo and executes the guy in the middle of town. There's some flavor dialogue from a guy in the saloon talking about how Tumbleweed is a dying town anyway, which I thought was kind of a neat touch. Overall I have found New Austin to be a bizarre mishmash of good poo poo and complete lack of effort, and it certainly makes me wonder if despite the game's delay, some New Austin content ended up getting left on the cutting room floor. Oh, and you can have a decently long conversation with a guy at McFarland's ranch that explains why Ms. McFarland and her pa aren't present.

Anyone notice the similarities between the first mission of the game and the last? Same characters are there -Arthur +John.

emdash posted:Anyone know the significance of the "Panoramic Map" you can find at a camp where two people froze to death? I wondered if it was a historical reference or just something I'm too stupid to get The map definitely points to the top of Mt Shann, and if you head up there you can find some lines on a rock that are very similar in design and a compass. Nearby you can see a UFO at night and there are also the bones of a giant man. As far as I know no one has found anything beyond that or if the new lines + compass are a map to another easter egg. e: this is the spoiler thread, no need for spoiler tags!

I was leaving St. Denis and came across a guy on horseback who was bloody and needed taken to the doctor. Where I saw his arm get cut off with a bonesaw.

Man, I just can't get into the post-game freeroam at all, it just feels weird running around New Austin as John. I like how everyone was going "gently caress you Rockstar we want to post-game freeroam as John" for years after RDR1 came out, and now that we're finally able to do so in this game we're all complaining about having to play as John instead of someone cool like Sadie.

I beat chapter 6, and if Micah didn't survive that ending I probably wouldn't even bother with the epilogue. John is so boring compared to Arthur, Sadie, and Charles .

Arthur says "you damned idiots" and it sounds like he's pissed off at their stupidity. John says "you damned idiots" and it sounds like he's about to follow up with "Marston Ranch rules!"

RDR2 is actually pretty revolutionary in that regard (even though you still end up doing lots of dumb poo poo for dumb people).

My fave is that he only has like two voice clips for "greet" when you're riding faster than a trot and one of them is just "HEY!"

John's drawings suck and it upsets me with how much that bothers me. The postgame in general is a pretty big letdown for me. For a game that just told a story that I really enjoyed, to then shrug and say "just ride around or whatever..." I don't know. There's a vague premise of making money to keep the ranch going, but I've got more money now than I know what to do with and it seems pretty lovely to leave Abigail at home with a drunk and a bookish teenager. Who's gonna milk the cow, carry the milk to the wagon, feed the chickens, carry the eggs to the wagon, water the livestock and sell all the products while I'm gone? That said, I loving loved the game. Thoroughly enjoyed Arthur's story and him as a character. Just hanging out in the world, smoking premium cigarettes an chopping wood was good. At times it got kinda hokey, and some parts were definitely longer than they had to be, but as Arthur drew his last breath on that mountain I was genuinely moved and sad that he didn't get to ride into the sunset like he deserved. And I got pretty misty eyed when Buell died. I promised I'd take good care of him dammit.

I love John's lovely drawings, but it does make me want to do a playthrough more thoroughly with Arthur to see all this stuff properly. Also I too took Buell into that final ride and it felt amazingly appropriate when Arthur went back to thank him. It made the moment more maudlin than just saying goodbye to some horse I bought with game dollars because I had to replace a horse that got gunned down by Murfrees or whatever.

I just reloaded a save from chapter three to fill the journal with as much of Arthur's drawings as possible. That's what this game did to me. I need to have my computer man see the meteor shack and try the Lemmy hat, because I know he'd get a kick out of that. Christ. And yeah, Buell. I loved Tar, my black arabian, but when Hamish asked me to care for Buell... I don't know. By that time any ray of sunshine was gold. Watching Arthur make a friend felt so good. The one cutscene where they just hang out in the cabin, shooting the poo poo. Two veterans of different wars. Chapter 6 needed that. I needed that. The missions with Charlotte as well. I'm just gushing right now. Helluva game. Edit: popewiles posted:John's lovely drawings are hilarious and I love that detail you madman. Haha, I agree. The detail is awesome. That's why it upsets me that it bothers me. Runaway Legs fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Nov 14, 2018 |

I find it weird that I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere that the Braithwaite mansion entrance is extremely similar to DiCaprio’s place in Django Unchained, with the extremely long path down lined by trees on either side. And of course that they both burn down in the end

It’s an old Southern plantation manor. A lot of them look like that, long drive with the trees and all, and one burning is a pretty iconic image given how the Civil War played out. Both RDR2 and Django are drawing from the same imagery, which is IRL. It’d be like mentioning both Red Dead and Django have horses.

So I pushed through the story because playing as sick Arthur sucked. Then I hit the end game after the epilogues and I just lost all steam. I still want to 100% the game, but I already have most of the legendary hunts and a lot of challenges done. I don't have the heart to start the game over from scratch to do them all again as Arthur, there are too many other good games to play right now.

You can shoot down the torso that a serial killer strung up under the bridge near Valentine. You can also lasso it and drag it through the streets.

I have mixed feelings about that epilogue. It’s good they show off the struggle and failures of Marston trying to get away from the outlaw life, but it honestly needed less chore missions and more build up to the Micah confrontation. It almost came out of nowhere and a lot of the impetus for avenging Arthur was burnt out from milking cows and getting yelled at by Abigail for helping your employer.

Maybe have a few missions showing John building the ranch and working, but have like 4 or 5 including the one where he asks Abigail to marry him. I was real happy to kill Micah, but would have liked to not have to play hours to get to that point.

I feel like the Dutch betrayal, Micah betrayal and Arthur caring about John cane in way to fast and wasn’t organically spread throughout the game. Also it was stupidly obvious that Micah was the bad guy. The other problem I had was that Bill and Javier never had a good turn to being bad or against Arthur. It was like they all saved Javier in Guam and everything’s ok then all of a sudden Bill and Javier hate you. That’s kinda what I wish was expanded more in this game was those two. Maybe have Bill be the rat and that’s the reason he goes and forms his own gang etc.

The best we can hope for is that Sadie will be your intro character for online who welcomes you into town and sets you up with your first job, like Lamar from GTA online.
