Pouring shots is fun

that mission seemed glitched to me, in the chase scene i was forced to use a scoped rifle, if i switched to using revolvers it wouldn't work and none of the controls would work. I'd just end up sitting there waiting for all those giving chase to kill me, had to skip that part of the mission to finish it.

Increasing your honour can unlock new and outfits and can get you as much as 50% discount in all shops apparently. On the other end of the scale having very low honour increases drop rate of things like tonics, tobacco, money and dead eye when you loot people

Bought a new 4k TV today.. so the general consensus is to turn off HDR right? my 10yr old tv didnt have the feature back then. having hdr turned on doesnt seem to look right, seems to make it worse, a little washed out, doesnt make blacks look black but rather a dark grey,.

i do wonder to myself if there is a limit to how many horses can follow you at one time. as we speak i am riding a newly calmed horse + my main one and another calmed horse is following me.

How do you get a horse to follow you? I have done this when taming and just whistling to my original horse, but would be useful to have another couple when out hunting

it's up on the d-pad (ps4) to whistle for your horse. with newly calmed/acquired horses you need to bond with them enough for the notification to say you've reached level 1 bonding. from there on that horse will follow you whenever you whistle. bear in mind that it's only level 1 so the distance you can whistle it to follow is not as large as other bonding levels.

on this occasion i went to do a robbery in the middle of nowhere with my 1 horse. I picked up one of the horses from the location and bonded with it. whistled my main horse to follow. after bonding i found another horse, i calmed it, bonded with it. then whistled, I then had my main horse and the calmed horse following me (while riding the one i just calmed).

reason i ask this is i cant see much data on how much horses can sell for (i'm only at chapter 3)., i think it would be pretty hilarious to calm & bond a dozen horses and have them all follow you to the person you can sell horses to for better money than you can stables.

I don't have many weapons, but for some reason, I've lost my bloody carbine. No idea what happened to it.

if you dropped it to pick up another weapon it would be back in your saddle on your main horse.

I've noticed quite afew times for no reason whatsoever the fish in the swampy areas south east of rhodes the fish would just swim themselves to 'death' on shore for you to just pick up. no reason behind it.. very strange.

I just booted up the game Settings > Display > HUD Safezone.
adjust how you see fit.

The PS4 has it's own settings too under settings > sound and screen > display area settings.

I'm yet to play it online but..i'm not sure why people are whigning about how much things cost. From what i understand the gold bars are for purchasing things you aren't a high enough level to unlock yet.. so obviously it's going to be impractical trying to grind for that, just level up/earn money and once you unlock it then buy it. the gold bars seem to relate to microtransactions, which is nothing new, but in GTAV it was never forced. The thing is still a beta so i'm sure R* will make adjustments, they did the same with GTAO and how much you earned.

Just read up about a location North of Saint Denis that spawns all horses randomly, wish I knew about it before I spent money on a turkoman only afew hours earlier! the first time i went to the location I found a missouri fox trotter. spend about 30min going back and forth respawning all sorts, eventually a white arabian spawned, took it to my stable for safe keeping.

Internet suggests that's been patched.

still works for me. managed to get the above, including turkomans, american throughbreds etc.. having said that I haven't updated the game with the new online patch as I don't have room.

[ambuletz]

being good will increase the discount on store purchases and unlock outfits.. at it's max you can get 50% discount on things.
being bad increases the drop rate and yeild rate from when you loot enemies. at it's max you're more likely to pick up items that will restore your dead eye, and better drop rates rarer items, throwing knives, more loot etc..

Same, I'm only at chapter 4 but have quite alot of money, have bought a good horse (turkoman), I picked up a white arabian with the random spawn glitch but aren't using it, everythings been upgraded.

I think once you've earnt a couple of thousand money isnt an issue anymore, I remmeber in chapter 2 thinking to myself 'fk, i just gave myself a bounty of $50 and i've only got $200 on me!' I would make sure to loot every enemy so I could sell their valuables for cash. not much of an issue now but i only do it incase someone has something rare/missable.

Just been gifted $250 in RDR Online by Rockstar - didn’t know that was coming...

they've balanced out how much things cost/how much you earn from things, as a result they decided to refund people the difference on any purchases they made thus far.

[ambuletz]

surely the bounty means walking around town isn't a good idea, if police spot you the chase is on.

only thing that annoys me about bounty hunters coming after you is that sometimes i want to nick their horse and ride away with it. but soon as you shoot them off the horse bolts it, never to be seen.

[ambuletz]

Having not played my PS4 all year i fired it up the other day to play this. I think i reached chapter 5 or 6 in my other save, with 53% completion. however i I'm starting from scratch.


Gotta be careful with that auto save feature, otherwise you end up saving over your old saves, its stupid.

In all my previous games I'd use the top save for my first game, then use the slots at the very bottom for any new games. tried to do this with this game, however you can't deliberately choose to have the bottom save slot, it just organises your saves by most recent.

How far into the game are you? There are some you can only do after completing other tasks, etc.

Same with the fish, which I didn't realise til after I'd finished the game.
