Don't say the game has been downgraded in ANY way or you'll bring the "There was never any downgrades, the game is perfect now, your just hating on the game and making a fuss over everything " dudes here 😂

I will say it anyway, the game has been downgraded on numerous occasions. The 1.14 patch was and is the worst downgrade so far as it has literally made the game unplayable on some consoles, that is if one does not equate slideshow FPS with gaming... I am playing on the PS4-PRO and at 1080p the FPS is locked at 30 but the trees and grass is definitely downgraded when it comes to draw distance. I am certain the 1.14 patch screwed with many other things as it changed the menu when one sell stuff to the pelt person. Feathers from egrets and spoonbills can not be sold anymore and are only used for the quest with the guy that makes hats. 
 

So it definitely seems someone or even the entire office(s) at R* was partying and being drunk as they celebrated the PC version and did not have time to do any quality tests whatsoever with the 1.14 patch.

Oh and go to controls and click on third person controls or whatever so it displays the controller. It's literally a mess with this update lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and there's this weird loading bar on bootup now @Ironside

Yup, saw it earlier in a post and tried it instantly. It does support my theory about R* and vast amount of alcohol in combination with the  1.14 release. And yes, I also have the weird “loading bar”, or what he hell it is!?

The lanterns in front of the Valentine store are STILL off on PC. LMFAO they must really hate those lanterns

 

Also, WTF does third person FOV do? It does nothing on console

Exactly, the person that wants to buy the game again because the very company that made said game deliberately downgrades is... That person really needs to reconsider how one votes with the wallet.

You're right, but I read it wrong and quoted the wrong post initially. What you say still stands though.

[JC_HUMBLE 939]

There's definitely something shady about this new patch. 

- Arthur's head doesn't turn the direction of what I'm looking.

- When you enter cheats they appear with *** like passwords 

- WTF the game is giving me tutorials again lol

[Johnnyb17 133]

I think we can all agree unanimously that the single player has been downgraded with 1.14

 

but it’s been going on for ages... 

 

anyway lucky I didn’t update so i will play offline using 1.13. I would use 1.0 but 1.13 

has much more fluid combat and shooting mechanics. The 1.13 free aim is so fun and satisfying. I think from now i will wait a couple of days after a new patch comes out to survey the damage it may cause haha I suggest y’all do the same

[JC_HUMBLE 939]

Man this game... I can't select nothing from the wheel except for weapons, also Arthur went mute in a mission... I'm gonna load the game again

[Ripstart01 83]

I like the comments around people considering the way they vote with their wallet. 

 

I was a good lad and did as I was told, playing through single player to 100% and patching as required. I gave RDO a go for a couple of days to level 20 and I quickly realized it is complete and utter garbage, a greedy, cynical, and totally pathetic cash grab.

 

that is when I started doing my homework into each update. I went offline and reinstalled the game, started a new game on 1.00 from scratch and it has been by far the most enjoyable playthrough. Took it through to 100% again with saves before my favourite times in the game. The graphics are arguably better, Arthur has access to everything in the game and John even has the ability to wear customized outfits with no weapon equipment or satchel, he also doesn't look completely retarded. I made a big post about the experience/features/gameplay for each chapter on page 38 here: 

 

Like many others I am not happy having the product I purchased downgraded by force. To me this is illegal. I will play the game as it was released, and experience the product I paid for.

 

[~INDIO~ 1,221]

To start off with, i was unaware John looks like a retard in the latest patch. I mean, could you disrespect him any more Rockstar?

(On that note, check out John's face in the RDR1 mission where you find Louisa outside her burned down home, he actually has a human looking expression in this 11 year old game😱)

You've already done him BADLY in the epilogue being bossed around by some whining, random, ungrateful cunt named Sadie, who no one gives 2 sh*ts about.

She should have died in that f*cking fire

 

Secondly, Sam Houser was quoted as saying "We've poured everything we have into this game" just before release. Then why the f*ck would you just completely abandon it and not even fix simple issues?

All they've done to Story Mode is make it worse since it came out.

It just shows how much they care about the actual franchise fans.

It's all about online, dirty cash grabs with Take Two.

They have pushed aside Story Mode and the fans that let them continue to produce games, for a half assed Online mode that is failing just about everywhere you look.

 

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this game and have been a fan since Red Dead Revolver.

It's a huge game with an amazing amount of content, particularly the amount of Story Missions.

It just kinda annoys me that they've completely abandoned SP, when they could keep people interested by adding new weapons, hideouts and bounties.

I'm very willing to pay for this new content. Why the hell can't we buy the new stuff😕

A hell of a lot of people would pay for Story Mode content. This is the route they should have gone with this game, and left online mode to GTA.

I guess when there's absolute idiots in charge they have only themselves to blame.

The DLC for this game would have sold f*cking UNBELIEVABLY well. 

Massively missed opportunity

 

Gone back to RDR1 the last few weeks, missed this game. Must have played through it at least 30 times by now

As promised... Patch 1.14 is definitely the worst.

Also, when you are looking at something catching fire the FPS drops to 10 more or less, just horrible!!!

Will there be another update when they add the new bounties, hideouts, and weapons to consoles? If so, could they fix the problems from update 1.14? Those trees in the video look.... just..... my god.

They have added som “haze” effect to the fires. It is very easy to spot while making campfires and it may look better/different than before but it eats FPS on the weaker consoles even with small fires and does the same on the X and the PRO with enough fires. So yes, 1.14 really made the game worse in all aspects.

All the new content from PC is already on the consoles files just waiting to be activated, I found a new Kentucky Saddler today even though it's not officially released on XB1 and PS4.

I hope you all play RDR1 as it's an absolute masterpiece.

I have to be honest here though, I as said before would love to get to use the LeMat in sp. But if I have to choose between the new content paired with the sh*tty state of the game post 1.14 or no new stuff and 1.13, I would choose 1.13 without a second of hesitation. 

[Johnnyb17 133]

Phew glad I’ve been away from my Xbox and haven’t downloaded that sh*te update. 

 

1.13 for me until further notice

I have no hope that they will fix it at all to be honest. We have since long payed for our console editions of RDR2 and R* wants us to buy the PC version. I will not buy the PC version since I have no interest in online and I was happy enough with my “inferior” ps4-pro version of the game, that is until 1.14 dropped. Now I will take a hiatus from RDR2 story mode and play something else until and if R* ever decided to make the game playable again.

What would I give Rockstar to go back to Patch 1.10... I would prefer this over any new content if I had the choice.

Gotta say I was wrong and never wanted to believe the game was dowgraded and now I'm suffering for it

I understand you, it is easy to want the best when one really likes/loves something, even a game. Despite all the negative things I say here or maybe I say them because I truly like this game. RDR2 was one of the best games ever made despite all the lost opportunities. That is why it is so sad to see what is happening with the game, it is not the product I payed for anymore as it has become a pale and deformed shadow of what it was. 

[Johnnyb17 133]

Honestly I downgraded ages ago and have been playing patch 1.0 but out of curiosity upgraded last week to 1.13 and find that version quite superior in many ways -

combat is much better for example 1.0 your character cant do those slick melee finishers like in 1.13 which are so satisfying. I love the melee in this game. Also free aim in 1.13 is so good 

just all round superior. 

 

As for 1.14 i will never upgrade to that haha

Some more details I observed:

- Title screen is someway different, the picture of your last location is smaller, cropped

- Cattleman revolver has a new sound

- Some new and some weird dialogue. I’ve been in a conversation which the guy couldn’t decide if he was friendly or hostile, completely bugged

- Lancaster repeater kinda jammed on joys of tobacco mission

This a great idea, we should all post things we notice good or bad
