Red Dead Redemption 2 (spoilers)

holy fuck I can’t even fire a warning shot during some missions w/o being forced to restart the shit...and to make it worse they put me all the way back @ the camp
 
I have done the gold bar glitch three times. On the second time I was only allowed to grab two then it disappeared. I saved the game, loaded the game again, went back to the spot and picked up 28 more bars.

Fuck riding. A lot of bad shits can happen along the way (wolves, I heard a cougar attacking somebody as I rode past with my gold. I suggest you catch the train to Saint Denis. It cost $10 but each gold bar you have it's worth $500. In San Denin you can catch the fence who will give you money for the gold. I haven't done much with it besides Buy a faster horse, get a good saddle & Stirrups.

I went to the one in Valentine. I'm still very early on in the game. I spend a lot of time doing side shit and running from the law.

Like after that big ass shootout at the O'Driscoll place, I guess I was taking too long looting the cabin... Next thing i know it lights up INVESTIGATING and 5 lawmen show up. I'm in the house, holding that 600 like FUCK I CAN'T KILL ALL OF THEM.

So I throw a mask on, run out the front door jump on my horse lone ranger style and get the fuck outta dodge. Somehow they didn't see me and I got so fuckin lost in the process.
They caught my dumb ass cause I tried to hide in the cabin:smh::angry:
 
Where do you sell the gold bars?
Fuck riding. A lot of bad shits can happen along the way (wolves, I heard a cougar attacking somebody as I rode past with my gold, you can also get robbed).

The fence is not that far from the post office
 
What rating would you guys give this after playing it for a while now?
Its definitely a perfect 10 game. I can see myself spending more time in sp than I did with GTA 5 sp. The real question is what will online be like. I can see them doing a battle royal mode. Since you can search and loot for supplies. I would love it if they can spawn in wildlife for hunting. Also they will probably have combat rolling in online despite its not being in sp.

9.8

not a 10 tho...presentation is incredible but some gameplay/game mechanics I’m just not happy w/ that have always been a personal issue for me w/ R* games
 
its not perfect... but holy shit I love this game

It really forces you to learn.... and its so random!
Since Sunday I'm trying to link up with Marston for a train robbery but I keep getting pulled into different crazy shit

-a hooker tried to kill me
-some crazy shit around Emerald farms (find the pig farm near there - only at night time)
-hidden O'Driscoll gambling den in a secret backroom of a doctor office

a bunch of other random crazy shit and NONE of the above are marked as stranger missions / side missions - I haven't done any of the question marked side missions


So far the pump action shot gun with slug ammo is the most effective weapon in medium range combat (creeping up on ODriscoll / Lemoyne Raiders/ Breichts camp sites OR needing to fight my way out of the Doctors office through ODriscolls sheriff and a posse )

Using a different horse, a unique outfit and full face mask during robberies really prevents the game from putting bounties on you (don't engrave your guns)


Also raiding in Lemoyne while the camp is still outside Valentine helps keeps you from getting bounties - because NPCs don't know / recognizes Arthur

Yeah a lot of your recommendations make sense. Its the small real life things that would help from being recognized. Just like turning off your radio when you're hiding in an alley to avoid cops in GTA 5.
 
The gold bar dupe glitch is still working. Gonna buy a saddle to give my horse a speed boost. Buy max provisions, fully upgrade the camp, buy some gear and a rifle or two them donate everything else. I'll leave myself with a grand or two. Any money I make going forward when be by normal means. This isn't GTA a couple thousand is game breaking.
Have you gotten the 4 bars? This dude to me drops the best tips fast traveling, legendary hunting etc


 
So last night... I accidently bumped into this damn dude while walking out of the saloon... I thought nothing of it.

I go to the General Store... Accidently bump into this woman..

And While I'm trying to shop.. This same dude from the Saloon Walks into the Store trying to fucking Fight me..

He throws the first punch ... I knock his ass out

and then I get hit with a Wanted notice...

Man this game is fucking crazy



Also... Make sure to ride nothing but Racing Horses..

Trust me...

I have a stable of them...
 
Thanks. What system are you playing it on?

Xbox One X..

This should have been the game that Microsoft used to show the power of the One X.

Like I've never seen anything like this.

This game shows me..

that the One X should be able to handle fucking Star Citizen with no problems..

If I was Microsoft.. I'd fucking open up the wallet and make it happen.

 
done hunting for these niggas...pearson asks me to get food...I hunt down a deer...bring it back to camp...some nigga speaks to me and I speak back...new mission...have to drop the deer on the ground cuz of course the game “locks up” once I start a new mission so I can do anything else basically but the new mission...complete the shit...saw a message that said more or less my deer would be there when I came back...it wasn’t...did another mission...completed it...saw a deer on the way back...brought it back to pearson or tried to...nigga sitting on a log talking about he’s closed or some shit...no option to drop the deer on the table or some shit...game is so restrictive and the shit is arbitrary as hell...every time I get into it I come across some bullshit limitations

Yeah I still don't know what to do with my legendary bear skin..

Tha gawd damn trapper is on the other side of the damn Planet. It would take me 3 hours to finally get my ass over there.

I was in the same boat, but I held out on restarting, found a stranger who gave me a map, found 2 gold bars, fenced them for $500.00 each, paid off bounty and built up my camp too!

Was it that dude with the accent..

I thought dude was trying to con me.. I wasn't paying 10.00 for that shit.

I ended up shooting dude in the back for his transgressions.
 
Another Random Tip >> Remember to “Save” your Game Manually. ALOT. :yes:

(From the Pause Menu >> Go to ‘Story’ >> ‘Save Game’)

There is an ‘autosave’ feature that works behind the scenes... but you can very easily spend a very long time running missions, or hunting wild animals, or catching bounties, or doing whatever... and one simple mistake can kill you... and you end up losing the last hour of gameplay progression / or cash / or items.

Not 100% sure about this :dunno: ... but I think the big difference is that the ‘AutoSave’ feature tends to save the game at the nearest ‘checkpoint’ (like at your Base Camp, or wherever you are as soon as you complete a mission) whereas, a ‘Manual Save’ will Save your EXACT location on the Map (which might save you some ‘travel time’ between missions, especially if you didn’t ‘save’ your progress for awhile & had to respawn from an AutoSave checkpoint that might be far away.)

I would add that it's important to have multiple fucking saves....

Like I purchased a bigger horse because I wanted to have no problems carrying the grizzly back..

Endup taking on a mission.. which required a fast horse ...

I could cast dude for shit and when the Mission failed ... I was at a part of the map that didn't have anything of interest.. and was more then a days ride from camp.

So I said fuck it... and booted up the save that I had right before I bought the wrong horse..

Bought my new racer that I call "Mary Jane" and I haven't looked back.

I got this big ass bear pelt and I don't know what to do with it. I almost lost it twice. On two occasions when I loaded the game (doing the gold duplication glitch) it wasn't on the back of my horse. When I reloaded the save it was there.

When I found the trapper, I thought I could buy a train ticket, but I couldn't buy the train ticket with the bear Pelt so now I have to ride through all kind of dangerous country hoping I don't get jacked or killed
