Red Dead Redemption 2 (spoilers)
- Thread starter Gemini
- Start date
Here's why...
Yeah, I captured the White Arabian.
Used it for quite awhile, but eventually I switched to another horse. And never looked back. You might disagree, but personally I think those Arabian horses in the game are a little too 'skittish' & will tend to buck/throw you off, whenever a dangerous predator is in their vicinity.
However, if you level up certain horses (like the Missouri Fox Trotter, Andalusian, Dutch Warmblood or the Turkoman)... they are not quite as fast as Arabians... but they tougher & more sturdy... and tend not to get rattled as easily by enemy gunshots, or large predators.
Granted, the Top Speed of the Arabian is fantastic.... But some folks prefer a horse that won't buckle/bolt as quickly as the Arabian, whenever shit hits the fan.
(I know I do. )For Example >> that 'Cremello Gold' colored Dutch Warmblood is a BRUTE.
Great for hunting & combat. Even though he's not as fast as the Arabian... He's STURDY as hell in a firefight / or an ambush. And he has ALOT of stamina that doesn't run out very quickly.Considering the tradeoffs between Top Speed, Acceleration, Health, Stamina & Ruggedness... I like the Cremello Gold Dutch Warmblood best.
I think it's the best horse in the game, in my opinion.
I can sacrifice a bit of Speed.... for more Ruggedness.
But that's just me. (Maybe I'm not alone
)

I have that same reaction ...
"Aww man I killed a black person"
I only been set up by a black person once. He picked my pocket and bolted. I chased him down, hog-tie him, got my money back then set him free.
How is the game compared with the previous one? I'm not a gamer, but it's cool hearing/reading everyone's thoughts online.
I played all 3 of the Red Dead games.
This one is EPIC... compared to the others... and compared to all the GTA games.
Game of the Year. Most likely.
(And quite possibly 'the best game' ever made on this current generation of consoles.)
Every generation of gaming consoles has a game (or two) that 'defines' it.
This is one of them.
No question.

Nice! Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear people are loving the game.
Unlike anything I've ever played. It's so totally random, your gameplay experience will be nothing like mine
I've been on chapter two forever it's so much to do I dont want to progress and miss out on something.
Missed out on the gold glitch so I tried restarting. This time around on the hunting mission the bear kicked my ass. After that I said fuck that gold and went back to my old save

There's some truth to this about that damn Arabian.
I love that horse but man it is JUMPY! I'm at a bonding level of like 8 out of 10. I was going to rob Catfish Jackson... Hit a corner and I see a fast approaching red dot coming at me from the woods. First thought was SNAKE but I look up and it's a fuckin puma! Luckily I was already holding my pump action shotgun so I hit dead eye and put it down. I come out of dead eye and noticed that fuckin horse was in the process of bucking me off as I was shooting the big cat.
Had I not reacted the way I did and as quickly as I did I'd have been a lunchable...
when you die in free roam you lose a small % of your money between 5-20% ...lets say you die 6 times in 1 hour you lose 20% of your money
I bought all of those already
granted that last part is not that exciting to me but my complaint is you have this gorgeous game but R* does little cheat code shit that forces you into eventually doing the big missions or side missions in a particular order to unlock certain shit...it’s “open-world” in the sense that yes there’s a lot to see and many places to go but you can’t experience/do certain things until you’ve completed certain missions...some will say that’s “every” game but I’ve been spoiled by “breath of the wild” where you were able to do everything out the jump...the game could be completed in 40 minutes or 40 hours...there was complete freedom in the game to play it exactly how you wanted to...nothing was “locked” based on rank/completion level...I’ve been wanting R* to take their games to that level since ‘san andreas’...they offer a restricted sandbox environment imo
ya I “unlocked” that ability a couple days ago...I’m not downing the game completely but it’s just frustrating when you have a game of this immensity and it’s still hampered by old school video game “rules”...this game borrows a lot from BOTW ironically but it’s not as free
I dunno if it's been posted but I just noticed something...
The best way to use dead eye is to dip in and out. Meaning go into dead eye, get your kill with one shot or two max, go out of dead eye, then go back into dead eye to get your next target. When you do it like that you don't have to reload... It does it automatically... And it saves your dead eye, making it last longer
It's bad ass to kill as many people as possible in dead eye but in long, drawn out firefights you will deplete dead eye quicker that way, then you'll have to get a tonic or food in the middle of the fight, and that shit can cost you a gold medal...
Also, if you tap the run button IMMEDIATELY after aiming down the sights, Arthur will move a bit faster while shooting. For us run n gun gta online players, this makes it feel a little more comfortable

ya there was a clip that chrislee posted that briefly mentioned the dead eye/reload trick...definitely good info tho
I thought I was only one disappointed with the Arabian. Im headed to the Trapper in West Elizabeth with 4 perfect pelts. I'm about 100ft from the Trapper when a cougar runs up on us. My bitch ass horse bucks me off and I'm dead before I can even get up. If I didn't have a back up save I would've probably quit playing for a min.
What horses are y'all using?

the white war horse I got when I accessed the first stable...there’s an ongoing “debate” that started a couple pages back
Rose Grey Bay Arabian. Fully bonded it's still skittish but runs forever and is a bullet sponge.
Man I can't wait til more of us finish it so I ain't gotta be mad all by myself.

damn...you finished the game already?
In the couple I've gotten like that they give sometype of location name, you just have to find it on the map.
There not on the map. You're have to look them up on YouTube for the exact location. You can click left to bring up the side objectives if you prefer to explore.
I may be thinking of something different, but most houses/areas have some type of name associated with it, you just have to zoom in on the map.

I actually took a break from doing challenges and finished Chapter 2
another example of random
-I was riding around a bend and had a full speed head on collision with another horse that was fleeing 6 wolves - before I could get up 3 of the wolves had already in process of killing 1 horse - my horse kicked one wolf and ran and Arthur is just getting on his knees surrounded by 5 wolves and 1 hurt wolf...
got a few bites - first time I saw animation of hitting wolf with gun stock - all shots were at point blank range- no clean kills all pelts worthless and Arthur was covered in blood...
its an evolution of rdr1 - everything is more detailed and complex... the map is largest I've ever ever seen - the detail of certain areas and even cities can be overwhelming
start to fight tactically... against larger groups +6
shoot from proper cover and when possible move to cover, make them come to you
if you are caught in the open, crouch and keep moving to some form of cover
-if you starting the fight - using dynamite and explosive rounds disorient NPCs
I sent a dynamite arrow into the middle of a group of soldiers - the survivors were shooting in every direction except where I was coming in from
hmm...dynamite...you shouldn’t have reminded me of that lol
