gehenna: @reven Just wondering did you play the first one?

yup.  loved RDR1 and GTA5.

@reven I find it to be quite similar to RDR1 in terms of gameplay mechanics.  The levelling/health/loot/item system is a bit different, but in terms of movement and combat it feels the same to me.  The only thing that consistently frustrates me about movement is that when you're riding the horse through thick bush or trees, your ability to steer seems to be taken over by AI.  

Anyone come across anything spooky and/or weird in the Lakay/Lagras areas?  I was in the bayou at night in the mist and my horse freaked.  I saw a wagon with a turkey vulture eating a cow carcass so i shot it and plucked it, then went after my horse as it had run away.  As I was walking through the trees I could see a young boy running ahead of me, then he disappeared. The next thing I knew some crazy guy had knocked me down and killed me with a machete.  It was the strangest thing.  I've been back there a few times day and night and can't see anything again.  It's near a tiny church if you've found that.

Yup, some weird things go on there. Apparently you get a surprise if you look up into the night sky around there.

Who said this game isn't very good?

I'm struggling to get the white horse..

 

I get on it but he throws me every time.. just can't seem to hold on ok..

 

I've practised with other horses and I get them ok.. just this white one's a bugger to break..

 

Any tips?

 

xbox too btw..

 

 

Ive found that lasooing it and then trying to jump on is futile, even tho it seems to work on other horses. Have to do the calm it constantly as walking up to it thing.

 

Thanks.. that's how I've been trying it.. I did see on a youtube clip some guy did it that way..

However.. I'm willing to try it...

Do you guys know about cinematic mode hands free travel?  set a waypoint, go on a track and then go into cinematic mode and then tap run..

Hands free running to your way point.. so you can get up for another beer.. ;)

Until you are ambushed and are in another room holding down X

Just watching this new Coen Brothers’ movie on Netflix - very reminiscent of RDR2:

gehenna: In the sense that it is a western or something more?

gehenna: Just finished the main story. What a ride!

My saves are still saying 83 or so percent so I am guessing that I missed something that actually counted. Might do another run thru and do more of the white icon tasks since I was basically ignoring them. \

Did anyone manage to get into new austin before the "2 years later" part. Everytime I tried going in there it was insanly heavily patroled at that point of time, moreso than when any other part has dead or allive on it which I can freely wander around and only have the odd problem.
