Which other card do you use? I've seen someone go from rank 1 to 100+ on their 2nd account, with an empty 4th card slot even though I've advised to put on NWO.

No offence ever taken, I enjoy discussing and learning more. I get your point but feel the strategy should come from the gameplay more than a fantasy element that for me, ruins that immersion of a more realistic approach. I love that these games are a game of choice, but if in a combat game mode, it's off putting because I won't buy those items but the opposition does (for the most part), so it takes PvP aspects even further away from me and leaves it that much more noticeable how little other content there is. I do feel it's a valid point. tonko and R3CON 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free aim is for people who are about skills, not a stupid ability loadout for kids Reticule shake? Auto aim is about skills too. Ability loadouts for kids? Imo it might even be for the more mature player base. You gotta buy them wisely and think about what kind of style you wanna play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don‘t take it personal, but after 40 levels of playing showdowns (i started playing showdowns at lvl 90 or so), I can‘t take this arguments about skill serious anymore. edit: if figuring out different card set ups is too confusing and difficult for you, you might want to think about sticking with plain shooters instead.

In the last 10 lvls or so, I‘ve only used Paint it black (which is the best dead eye card imo, didnt use it before that and realized how fcking op it is), eye for an eye, strange medicine. The 4th card usually depends on the situation. Lately I‘ve almost always used the one that decreases damage taken while sprinting. I once fighted one who had it tier 3 too, that‘s when i realized that a lot of shots just didn‘t hit the player although they should have. Like perfect lined up shots, express ammo, perfect condition and mid-range with lancaster, but I could only hit him at the 2nd to 3rd shot. That‘s when the player already noticed where I am and changed his aim towards me. After that situation I decided to level it up too haha however if someone aims at your head from close range while you are not moving, he will kill you. But as long as you‘re moving and not too close I find it very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, i'll explain what "skill" that was. All he did is: 1. Buy, equip and use Slippery bastard, 2. Buy enough dead eye tonics 3. Use said card Important thing to remember after reading this is: RDR 2 is a western game. Not a horror game. Not a fantasy game. Term Western is very important here. Muscle memory: Move, aim, shoot, repeat. Move, evade, aim, shoot, repeat. Some guys are just faster and better. That's skill. That's speed. Proper use of cards as a skill? Let's see: buy, plan your setup, equip, tonic drinking and activate. So we have Muscle memory and Ability Cards. Which of those gravitate more to the definition of "skill"? Muscle memory is the corrrect answer here. 4 minutes ago, rusbeckia said: You‘re right!

I get ya regarding the roasting, but the clash of freeaim and auto is a symptom of bad design that contributes towards some feeling it's a bad game, I feel. Much like the clash in PvP and PvE, IMO. It's stuff like that where R* are forcing or ignoring these issues that really hurts the game for some as much as bugs, lack of content, or dripfeeding this early.
