What Games Are You Playing Right Now?

Omg I got eaten by an alligator

 

Hmm. I keep losing my hat. the hat is just as big of a deal on my Arthur as my hat is to me. Granted, I know one hat is in a alligator but my other one is on a train and it trained away while I had a criminal to take back to a town, which I've now been asked not to cause trouble in, after I remember shooting up last year.

 

If I recall right you don't lose your bought hats permanently. If you get on your horse again its there in the inventory.
There are little differences in singleplayer mode and online though, but im pretty sure this counts for both!

Another I have to be mindful of if i get into singleplayer again is that you can't whistle your horse from anywhere. Singleplayer is so realistic the horse will stay where you left it behind. So when you get on a train, coach and you think you're not gonna return soon; whistle from the train or coach and the horse follows it.
In online this is made more userfriendly, if you traveled to the other side of the map without horse you can still whistle it and it comes

So, keep your horse with you at all times (unless you don't mind making yourself guilty of repeteaded horsetheft, after all it is GTH in a way ) and don't bother picking your hat of the ground everytime; its in your horse inventory too.
Oh yeah, and clean your guns!

 

yes i need to clean my guns for sure i dont think ive done that

 

They're no good at all in their worse state. I love this little detail now but yeah, you have to get used to it. Same with eating enough. Sure, when you wanna acomplish some progress you sometimes gonna think what is this shit.. Have to make camp again, cook up some game meat (or just eat some baked beans and canned pineapple lol. I always have some canned goods in my inventory after i made some money), but it actually makes the roaming gunslinger experience you know? I can see (and have frequently heard ) its not for everyone. Especially when you're in a rush to find out more about the story.
I enjoy all the little details, like how he flips the cartridges in the rifle when he reloads, how an animal behaves when you shoot it wrong (damn, those sounds...), how all these NPCs are behaving.

 

That's true, I definitely do not eat enough either. I bring the deer's back to camp but. If only sex was a part of the game for energy or stamina lol, I'd probably make sure he scored twice a day.

 

i don't remember having to eat? i think there must be some other way to accomplish whatever benefits eating gave, because i'm pretty sure i almost never ate, except in a pinch.

 

Bathing has its use as well (closest thing to sex in the game if you let a whore wash you), I didn't bathe for the longest time and while standing in a train the woman next to me clearly was bothered by my body odor lol. Fantastic game :-D

If you rarely ate you must have become minimum weight and then your cores drain faster. It's pretty doable I became minimum weight too and that while I was eating every now and then (but apparently not enough )

 

I think all my cores are drained because they are always flashing and so I drink all the tonics but they never seem to do anything. This is probably a reason why I get killed so easily hey like I can't take on a gang cause I die quickly.

 

That's a common but important mistake! The tonics are for the circles around the core. That is what drains when you lose health or use stamina or deadeye. The cores are not your standard health (or stamina or deadeye) but affects them.
So if your cores are flashing red and black i think, they're empty and you need food to fill em up again.

If you don't wanna spend time hunting and you have some dollars just buy canned beans and canned fruits. Or use a lot of tonics. That's a viable option too. But if you eat regularly you have to consume far less tonics.

 

RDR must be an awesome set of games.

 

The amount of depth and details in the world makes RDR2 spectacular imo. This is especially a lot of fun if you dig the western setting (like me )

btw: @ irms and undies; you can buy meals at saloons too. And you can get a free meal every day at your gangs camp (Pearson's camp stew )

 

I wouldn't mind the Western setting at all

 

I was thinking about a Switch as a xmas gift for the needy, but they're too rich for my blood. The switch lite is only $199 though.

 

i think that must be what i do. typically i just try to set up camp whenever it gets dark so that my cores are basically always full, plus it's easier to see what's going on when it's light out.

i actually just started a new game tonight. i've been thinking about it for a few days now. i'm getting bored with all my other games right now. got through the snowy part and played around in chapter 2 for maybe an hour.

 

Oh yeah, sleeping also replenish your cores! Good one. But... keeping your weight in check keeps them from being drained faster. I would just make it a habit to grab some stew at main camp too when you're there. And buy a meal at the saloon. Thing is: if you don't do this often enough you still lose weight. Which technically makes sense. One meal a day doesn't compensate for all the burned calories right

I wanna go through storymode again some time too. But don't think it will be any time soon.

 

as long you're pretty good about actually sleeping every night, the cores seem to stay pretty much full throughout the day. i think it's the times i get into something and don't make camp until the sun starts coming back up, that i notice the cores have started to drain significantly.

not that eating is ever a bad idea of course, but i think the game basically enforces that you either eat or sleep on a regular schedule, not necessarily both.

i do remember trying to feed my horse more often for some reason. i know it increases bonding, but i don't remember if there was some other reason it needed to eat more than i did or not.

 

I think so too, as long as you do either one regularly they are at least full until you get killed, or a day has past without resting/eating

If you have the same horse for awhile you will be at max. bonding level already. Your horse rests if you hitch it. If you don't let it rest you have to throw some food in it for the same reason your character needs it
Hay and carrots are best btw. Hay is really cheap too. There's more expensive horse food available but hay is best choice. Wild carrots can be picked for free.

If you're in an intensive piece of action with a horse with empty cores you will notice the difference. Its health and stamina are going down much faster.

 

^ i'm really not sure why i had such a habit of feeding it. maybe i just got in the habit before we were fully bonded and kept doing it for no reason afterward. i do always have the same horse for a while; i always just go and tame that badass white horse up in the mountains as soon as i can, and keep it until, well, i can't anymore. that's what i need to do next time i play actually. can't be riding around on that shitty $15 horse they make you buy at the beginning.

i also mostly rest by making camp in the wilderness. there's no hitch there, but i assume the horse still rests when camping?

 

Oh that's right they make you buy a horse lol. I miss Tennessee Williams and I can't find him anymore.
