On the topic of cigarette cards... I have started making sure I smoke a few packs so that I can collect any I find. What do you do with them though? You can sell them to the Fence, is this worth doing or do you then lose that card in terms of having collected it? So far I've just hung onto them all as I want to try and complete at least some of the sets.
I've collected quite a few but I keep finding a card from a new set though! How many cards are there?!
You send full sets off to some bloke, lost count of how many sets there are, might be 12 ish.....I've collected quite a few but I keep finding a card from a new set though! How many cards are there?!

Ah, cheers. I’m still finding cards all over the place.
In other news, I bagged the perfect badger I’ve been moaning about. Plus the legendary wolf and a perfect bear, all in quick succession on the same trip back from a robbery. Then I did a couple of story missions. Pretty productive evening!

There are 144 cigarette cards (12 sets of 12). They’re mostly on furniture inside buildings, but some are located outside and hard to find.
You can buy premium cigarettes from general stores and receive a random card each time which can give you a head start on the numbers. Though you have to keep on discarding the cigs to make space available.

... if anyone wants to mess around online a bunch of us from the GTA ONLINE (PS4) thread might be on at some point... is it too early to make a RDR ONLINE thread / wiki of players ??
Think that would be a good idea, though I haven't finished the story I'm doing all online at the moment.Have to say it's so much harder than story mode, not least because of equipment levels and trying to level up.
As per GTA though lots of griefers, had a mare this morning with a posse being cocks while i was treasure hunting in the swamp.
Came across the bear stuck in the shack event yesterday.
Don't understand how people have fallen foul of this as when I arrived he was making plenty of noise.
He's also very visible through the window at the side AND there's a door round the back that's been knocked off it's hinges and the bear insists on staring at the front door!
One stick of dynamite later, bear kebabs all round.

My friend told me about this, i have heard about people just throwing in dynamite so i was going to do this....
.... i approached from the rear and could hear it growling inside.... was still on my horse about 6 metres from the back door and it burst out, taking the foor with it, horse threw me and it was a mad scramble to equip a weapon to take it out

How do I stop myself getting bored of the game?
Everyone raved about it when it came out, I bought it on day one but had little time when it first came out to really get into it, and have struggled to make time to play it. When I have played it I haven't found myself particularly immersed in the same way I was with, say, God of War, Last of Us, etc.
RDR2 feels very Rockstar in so much as superficially there is loads to do but the missions have left me cold. Ride here, shoot some people or find something, done. I'm finding myself bored with the arbitrary riding parts, even with the conversations.
I'm only up to about Chapter 4 so perhaps it ramps up, but I'm really struggling to energise myself to sit down and play it, and I feel like either I'm just not getting it or the hype was too much.
I never finished GTA 5 either.
So.. am I just the weird one here?

I didn't click with RDR2 either.
I was pretty into GTA5 but it coincided with a pretty dark time in my life and by the time I was a place where I could play it again PS4 had come out and I couldn't be bothered to start from scratch.
RDR2 kinda feels to me at the moment like it's a mile wide but an inch deep. The attention to detail is impressive, but that does not a immersive game make.

The game seems to have some epic moments followed by periods of pretty mediocre play when following the story. It isn't something you can pick up and play for a ten minute blast, you need to invest time. I can see why some don't gel with it but overall I think it's a pretty amazing game and not like anything else I've experienced before.

Stick with it. It's been pretty universally agreed and talked to death that the first 3 chapters are essentially a tutorial.I never finished GTA 5 either.
Keep going and enjoy the wonderful randomness of it outside of the main storyline.
I can't help to defend not liking GTA5 though..that's remarkably odd..

I didn't not like GTA5, that was a poor comparison really. I got so far in GTA5 and then circumstances meant I had to take an extended break from gaming and by the time I got back the PS4 was out and I didn't want to start afresh. I wasn't hooked on GTA5 though.Keep going and enjoy the wonderful randomness of it outside of the main storyline.

Finished the main story line last night....been playing since release day so I've certainly had my money's worth.
A couple of gripes.
It was too easy. After a point - money is not an issue for Arthur. I enjoyed it more when you were forced to loot, rob, hunt and explore to make $s. Once you have say $1000 in the bank the economy in the game breaks and that early struggle is no longer there.
The hunting, gathering and crafting layer is a little pointless, I can absolutely see the the fun in stalking legendary animals - the potions are so easily bought or looted that gathering becomes a waste of time.
I think a "survival" mode would be great, forcing you to scavenge, hunt, craft and rob to make progress. Maybe not for everyone but I think it would immerse you more deeply into what is a fantastic open world.
Having said that - I thought it was an absolutely phenomenal gaming experience. One point the final ride back into camp having spent hours with Arthur and his horse was every bit as moving and cinematic for me as having Jose Gonzalez playing as John Marston rides into Mexico in Red Dead Redemption 1.

I think they will do another zombie style DLC for it at some point.A couple of gripes.

Agree about the final ride back into camp, was genuinely a bit sad for it to end
