Was out hunting for deer and accidentally killed a wild horse with my bow - thought it was a deer from a distance. Felt terrible. First rule of hunting - identity your target.

Then when I shot a deer, it was running around wounded with two arrows sticking out of it - because of my poor aiming. Then it stopped running and my hunting tutor made me put it out of its misery with my knife.

 

I keep shooting when I get on a horse, because I am so used to pressing accelerator when getting into a vehicle, and R2 is shoot here.

 

Also I punched my horse once instead of brushing it because I always mess up the playstation controls since I hardly use it and mix up O and square. Why would you have a thing to punch your own horse? Anyway, it ran away from me and I had to chase it down since the whistle didnt get it back. I think it hated me after that.

It seems smooth on my PS pro, but the graphics are quite nasty in parts - can see blockies on the edges of things and weird frame blending like stuff happening. Supposed to be 4k isnt it? Most of it looks 1080 with bodges. Cinematic cam also seems to do some weird blur filtering which makes it hard to watch but its nice how you dont have to steer the horse in it.


Only had 2 bethesta grade messups so far, lenny was reading, but the book was missing, and there were some cans floating in mid air by the food cart.



I don't have any graphics concerns. It looks amazing. Just the frame rate is a bit inconsistent. Hopefully patchable

Havent done a single mission yet except the obvious starting ones.... accidentally shot someone so now have a bounty on my head.

 

Oops....

 

 

hahaha yeah I stabbed a guy when I thought I was just going to punch him.  I feel like the frame rate is dropping slightly on PS4 Pro which is why I asked what console.  Does it feel smooth on XBO?  Is it the X?

 

 

Not X - seems fine to me, havent noticed anything causing me to think "what crap performance"

I keep losing my hat during fights etc.....  had to buy a new one. Then lost it again....thankfully found it again after about 5mins looking around.

 

Its taking me a little while to settle in with the controls as theyre slightly different to the original RDR ones.

The hat goes back to the horse I thought? Ive lost mine several times and there is always the 3 that I had in there still in there when I go to swap them.

 

I keep getting a flashing red thing on the horse health meter, no idea what it means.

Punching a horse then nearly riding it to death - lucky there’s no SPCA in the game - you’d be Wanted 😁




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

This has been slightly torturous seeing you guys talking about the game when I can't play it for 3 more days. 

 

Game is sitting at my office.

I got a bounty put on my head when some idiot walked in front of my horse while I was riding slowly through Valentine. Worst thing was, I was dropping off a random encounter person at the time which would've given me some good rep..

I turned off Super-Sampling on my PS4 Pro (1080p TV) - this stabilised the frame rate a fair bit and I didn't notice a significant hit to the image quality. Haven't noticed any weird blending issues - assume this is because it is both rendering and outputting at 1080p now and not using the chequer-board upscaling

Make sure you manually save a lot in the early hours for just this reason.  I was about to sell some stuff to the local butcher in Valentine when I got my buttons mixed up, which launched my character at someone on the road and gave them the bash.  Which put me in Wanted status after lots of witnesses reported me.

Didn't even know there was a manual save! Would've been handy for those times I've been ambushed on the road and killed...or ridden off a cliff when being chased hahaha
