I'm really enjoying it so far. Game is very beautiful. The blood and weather effects, the way they effect your clothing are all very impressive. I wish they would put a hat marker on the map.

I was finally able to sit down and play for about an hour last night, I think I made it through the initial tutorial missions and I'm just starting to get into the "game".
My initial impressions are that the controls are needlessly finicky and cumbersome. Hold this then press this while doing this but don't press that then go to your horse and hold this while you press this and then this to do this but not this and then if this one specific thing happens press this to do this but you have to press a different this to do a similar action for a different thing and on and on and on. Thank god for fucking on screen control prompts as I'm getting finger tied trying to play this thing. It also dawns on me how deeply out of practice I am with controller shooting mechanics. I aim like a drunkard, and even with the game's generous aim assist the few shootouts I've been in I feel very lucky to have survived. Its a beautiful game though... what of it I can see through snow blindness and blowing fog. |

I think I'm getting better at the controls... my main issue is that my brain keeps defaulting to GTA controls, and RDR2 seems to use a more layered approach.
I am a master of the howdy though. Also my horse's name is Gluestick, and the first thing I did in ARFCOM fashion was waste all my money upgrading my guns. |

I remember when I was like 13 or so trying to play Swordquest Earthworld, Haunted House, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Pitfall on an Atari 2600, and thinking "holy shit how do you play these games, they are like waaaaaaay too complicated".
... and here I am today holding down L2 and trying to press square while still holding X and trying to steer my horse just to say "hi" to some schmuck in a wagon that I inadvertently bump into because the camera shifts angle when I try to talk to someone causing the controller to rumble, the horse to whinny, and me to say "faaaaaaaaaaaaaack". But at least it is better than me accidentally drawing my pistol and nailing some guy right in the face when all I wanted to do was scare him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ya... I remember playing the first one and I loved it. This is a great game to me still but when I grabbed it on xbox I remember thinking "At least I'll be able to just chill on the couch and relax while playing", but man the layered controls are making me feel old and I'm barely 30. Can't wait til it eventually comes to PC and everything just has it's own button (hopefully). RDR2 is me cussing at the controller, cussing at the screen, cussing at the deer, cussing at the one guy shooting at me from ten feet away behind a rock as I drunkenly try to hit him manually because my deadeye is empty and I don't have any more magic matrix slomo juice to drink... and then my wife looks in and asks why I'm so angry and all I can say is "THIS FUCKING GAME IS FUN GOD DAMMIT THIS IS ME HAVING FUN YAAY." probably with a look on my face like I just stepped in dog shit wearing my church shoes. When this game is good it is good, but when it is bad it is just... so... frustrating. I don't remember RDR1 being this frustrating, with the notable exception of the finger knife gambling thing. I hate that goddamned game of simon finger knife gambling thing. |

Question for those who might know: I know clothes can get dirty, and the easiest way to "clean" them is to change clothes then change back... but do clothes "wear out"?
I ask because the outfit I'm wearing now looked brand new when I bought it, and now after wearing it for several in game days (and changing it twice due to mud) it looks a tad more ragged than I remember it being. I'm trying to figure out if I'm seeing things or if they actually put clothes aging into the game. |

I’ve been wearing the Earl outfit in warm areas and it seems to look as good as the day I bought it. I’ve been swimming in it several times as I try to boost my stamina. Could also be because I’m still rolling with 1080p.

So how does that work.. How do you know its a legendary fish? does it tell you when you hook it.. Or when you catch it and pull it out? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: No idea how much time I wasted, but I went two looooong rounds with the legendary sturgeon where it ultimately spit the lure. Shortened my retrieve and I had it out of the water under two minutes. The sturgeon, for instance, can only be caught from/near a particular railroad trestle. There was a small pucker factor when the first train came by, but standing on the very edge leaves enough room not to get run over. |
