The story doesn't get crazy good until the 30-35% mark. I won't spoil anything story wise, but by that time you get access to more gear, more guns, more information, and more collectables. Plus the story picks up quite a bit.
Basically you get way more attached to the characters, get way cooler shit, more money, and you are given even more stuff to do.

The only game that can feasibly equal those heavily scripted E3 demos in actual gameplay. I urge anyone to try playing without HUD elements for a bit and experience the immersive gameplay the game creates around the player.
The game that truly benefits from 4k resolution. Its a night and day difference from i.e. 1440p. You should try it. Google for the "white collar beta 2" DLSS from Nvidia, then DSR from 4K down to 1440p.

Yeah the stuttering in certain areas has always sucked.

Fuck it. I'm downloading the game again and doing another playthrough. I always meant to go back and get all the hunting shit.
This thread has given me blue balls for the cowboy bullshit that the game readily provides.

Game of the last generation.
Wish rockstar would take a break from releasing GTAV and release a current gen patch

This was the last game that made my cold, hard heart cry. That final ride, that music. What a game, what an experience! Unrivaled by anything out there.

I had some issues with the gameplay, and open world games have never been my cup of tea. I'm just lost in them. If I could find a way to play RDR2 going from A to B in a sense maybe I could get through. Because the game is crazy impressive in so many ways, and I loved the intro.

I didn't like it much.
As a technical accomplishment it is unrivalled.
As a story it is fairly bland and saved by a fascinating and brilliantly written (and acted) Arthur Morgan.
As a videogame I personally believe it falls flat. It feels awkward at the start and gets no better as you move on. None of the game is 'fun' to play. When I finished it, I realised at no point did I enjoy any of it.

I'm currently playing it in small bouts, I was enjoying it and absolutely loved the opening section of the game, the atmosphere, the story set up, it was perfect but as I got further into the game i find myself having to drag myself to play it, I'm at the second camp and have done a few missions but it's just not clicking for me. Sure the world is incredible, second to none but it's just I don't know... With Witcher3 I was herding her off to bed to play it and sticking it on any free time I had, with Red I'm meh hell I'm back replaying through the Uncharted series again even though I know there's an epic game in there I'd still rather replay through the story in uncharted

But is there more to it than that? How do you get the strips to mirror the colors on a tv?People generally use led strips:

Ask me about my Stream Deck
Sorry to bump an old thread but I couldn't find anything while searching so I thought I would ask.
Has there been any talk or rumor of a current gen console patch or full version? Is the Steam/PC version the only way to get somewhere close to current gen performance?

Would love to replay it but I would for sure not play the boring epilogue. It ruined the true ending of the game... the emotion. Credits should roll there, not fucking john marston in a wagon.
Anyway - The game is still very bloated and hard to replay because of that.
But I want to replay it. Enjoyed it a lot on release

I'm close to 130 hours and have completed less than 50% of the story. I just keep getting lost in the "cowboy fantasy" and living out those fantasies of childhood. The world is so absorbing, and just roaming and soaking it in is so engaging. I've been picking up the pace on the story recently though. I can't keep pretending that I'm a cowboy forever.

No, nothing.
Even if you assume that they will soon bring out such a patch, it will probably come in 2 years at the earliest. It took R* 2 years to release the "Next Gen Patch" for GTA V, too. Since RDO is not really updated any more, I don't expect R* to make the effort for such an update. They are probably concentrating fully on GTA VI and GTA Online now.
It' i quite a pity from my point of view. The single player is simply terrific. It's actually a shame that they don't give the game an appropriate update. They should have invested in a signee player expansion from the beginning.

Can't think of a game that aged as poorly as this one. Still one of my all time favorite single player experiences but boy oh boy did Rockstar fuck themselves and their fans with no DLC and bullshit scam Online all while still pump and dumping every idiot still giving money to GTA5
Rockstar used to make quality games, now they make micro transaction games.

One thing I've grown to hate about Rockstar games with each new release is where you have tight parameters and it's mission failed otherwise.
I remember GTA III where one mission I had to chase a guy in Chinatwon and he would run to his car and you'd chase him. In the game you could steal his car beforehand and rig it with a bomb so when you'd chase him he would run to the car and it would blow up.
Rockstar have to allow for non scripted ways to finish missions.

RDR1 is better.
RDR2's story drags after Chapter 2 and doesn't pick up again until Chapter 6. The forced animations for every bespoke action get old quickly, having a toggle to turn these off would have been appreciate. Not having access to New Austin until the Epilogue sucked, as did the absence of Mexico despite the full map being there.

Amazing game
but always brings a bittersweet memory for me
Xmas 2018 I played this on Xbox One, during my week off
worked hard, needed a break, hadn't gamed in a long time
little did I realize at the time that it would be my last holiday season with my dad as he passed away in 2019, for me, unexpectedly but he had been ill
I always associated this game and playing it that week with a missed opportunity to spend time with him
Le Sigh. Anyways - doesnt take away from the fact its a great game or that my pops was an amazing human, just bring a sad memory and associate the game with that winter

I still remember when I got my copy of the game on PS4 Pro, I was so in shock I sell it right away to buy it later on PC and play it at the glorious 4K 60fps on PC.
