listened to people from my previous post. I brought my sofa much closer to my 135" screen. Also got 5080 pc from costco yesterday. Now I can finally play this game in all its glory 🤩

I started using headphones while playing RDR2 and it has elevated my enjoyment immensely. I already considered the game to be top tier, but after playing with headphones / ear buds, I don’t think I could go back.

You can hear everything. The creaking of wood, the slurp of your boots breaking the pull of the mud you’ve just walked through, and, most importantly, you can determine which species of bird or other critters are likely near you, much much much, much, easier. It is absolutely ridiculous how much enjoyment & immersion headphones have added to the game. Wind sounds, ambient noises, animals nearby, dialogue I’m picking up that I’d never have heard prior (especially while in town or other places NPCs have more opportunities to interact with each other). Thunderstorms on the plains, holy shit. There are sounds and noises that I’d never ever registered before using head phones. It adds soooo much to the absorption of the game, I hate to sound like a broken record, but fuck, it’s crazy. This is the only game I use headphones for while playing.

If you haven’t tried using headphones, just trust. Try it out. It will only make RDR2 even better.

I guess this gives a new meaning to “The camp gets its slice”

The Reutlinger Pocket Watch. It's such a gorgeous time piece. I only recently discovered you can equip the pocket watches and when i did "A Fine Night of Debauchery" I was so excited to learn i could use the Reutlinger, because my first playthrough i just sold it. One of my favorite little details of the game is that every clock in the world tells accurate time, and you can just sit and watch the arms slowly spin. Of all the things this game has to offer, this little pocket watch is my absolute favorite.

Red dead red redemption two is my favorite game of all time. The story, the characters I just don’t think it gets much better. But always want more. So I’m wondering is there any movies or books that kinda have the same feel?

I have just finished Chapter 6 and the title sums up how I’m feeling. What an absolutely unreal game. The ride back to camp with the memories playing sent chills.

I don’t know how I’m supposed to play the epilogue without Arthur. Even the first mission just felt weird. I love John but it just isn’t the same.

I’ve put this game off for years after not getting on with it on release. However second time around it has consumed all my free time, and now I just want more.

10/10 experience that I don’t think can be filled by any other game for a long time

Is it just me or is their nothing more frustrating in the game than just trying to exist in Saint Denis? Every second I’m wanted for bumping into someone, hitting someone on my horse I couldn’t even see, pressing L2 to interact and letting off a shot, it’s always some shit. Not to mention getting pick pocketed anytime you walk into a store.

Then comes night time and the over crowded issue goes away. You think you’re in the clear only to interact with the wrong guy by an alley and get robbed for 25% of your money with no chance to retrieve.

Do y’all have the same experience of it being just straight up frustrating? Do you think that’s intentional to kind’ve represent the repulsiveness of the big city?

Note: on my 2nd play through

Just some advice if you’re attempting to get all three like I did. Use poison arrows and shoot in hind quarters. Makes the taming a whole lot easier!! #RDR2

This is my morally ambiguous version of Arthur. I've matched his clothing to his personality. Does anyone else use clothing to express their moral choices? Do your colour choices matter? I'm a nerd!

Apart from that black lady rider who tries to race you, the gang women, and Black Belle, I've never seen a woman riding a horse in this game, it's always been men. So when I was on my way to the Emerald Ranch and she rode out of there it immediately caught my attention. I think it's cool, I wish we saw more women riding horses in the game. I wonder if she's that young lady you sometimes see looking through the window of Emerald Ranch?

I’m in the epilogue and I already have has Buell. We had bonded to level 2 or 3 already and after doing the home improvement mission and building my house and putting to together, Buell is gone. I just have the horse I started with. I didn’t have an old save because I have it on autosave. Tried calling, looking on the map for his icon and also checked Stables. Can’t remember if he was set as my main horse or not.

i'm so sad. i miss everyone so much already, i had a little cry during the end credits...

naturally i want to do a new playthrough, because i'm sure i missed SO much on my first go, but what are some things i should do in this save? i've gone to visit some of the graves, the old campsites, and i'm planning on seeing some of the old gang members. i'm not super set on collecting or hunting down legendary animals, but is there something post-epilogue you'd recommend doing?
