iLewk Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Ok, we get it, Christmas time, snow all over RDO, pretty cool from a programming standpoint that you can do it. - Can we turn it off now? j_jesser, jazzbone, netnow66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already a snow thread...but hey, we only get this for a brief time, why not just enjoy it? Sure it's more challenging, but so what? this game is easy anyway. I just love it. Rev.

zPhoenix Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It isn't so much the snow, it is the lack of sunshine.... the constant fog is depressing (besides getting in the way of gameplay). jazzbone, netnow66, darkmaster234 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is just gray (to me) now and I really hate it. To go from the colorful spectacle I enjoyed to this is rather depressing, at least to me.

Imagine there are people IRL who live with this stuff for months on end. When I drove a truck I spent most of my winter driving around up north and in the NW dealing with this dreariness all the while. I can deal with it for a week or two. Be thankful all the leaves haven't dropped off the trees which is even more gloomy. It is old always having the same weather all the time. If it's that bad find something else to do and come back Tuesday. But if it's like last year, there will be a 2nd week of this after New Year. Edited December 27, 2020 by StyxTx netnow66, Rev.

zPhoenix Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 IRL I love the snow, so long as the sun is out. I positively hate the gloomy gray skies and washed out colors of everything. I think it would be the same in game. Snow and sun with only an occasional blizzard, plus some fixes so that you can see small animals and Eagle Eye trails easily... would make the Christmas event enjoyable instead of dreary. j_jesser, netnow66, jazzbone and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBuffalo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) They might as well leave it on until Tuesday the 4th. 2 weeks out of the year it snows in game...even if you don't like it, its really not worth making a thread about you how don't like it.

Be glad you don't live in Seattle. They have way more cloudy days per year than sunny ones, something like 62% of the days cloudy annually. The NE is pretty dreary all winter. I hated going up there in winter. It's not so bad when I'm sitting at home playing a game that's snowy. netnow66 and j_jesser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHeartache Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 cmon we only have this white beauty one time in the year, horses are not like GTA cars, and we don't have any aircraft so no need to worry about crashing , enjoy, after this we go back to the long hiatus after a new update whit the same sunny sky darkmaster234, Zephyrsbheka and Lonely-Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmlaughlin76 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 From Sunny MN here! For Christmas our present was two 18" of snow. It was pretty awesome. you get used to it. (kind of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammsbro Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Mist makes the game really hard to see normally but add to it snow and the game is just a gray/white screen. I absolutely hate it. Add to that when the weather is bad I have literally had full on whiteouts where I can see nothing at all. When the game is almost entirely visual it is stupid to have this.

ghostsoap01 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 As a Canadian who lives through the snow 5 months a year, I can sincerely say f* snow. You southerners don't know how good you have it. De-snowing the car every morning, leaving early to get to work on-time. People driving half their usual speed over a centimeter of snow on the road when its not even risky. Then on the flip side driving on ice and sliding around, wheels spinning at every stop sign, risking accidents when its a blizzard out but you still gotta go to work. Why couldn't I have been born in the southwestern US ? Of course there are some positives, like snowball fights, all the winter activities like sledding and skating; and things like snow-taffy (tire de neige in QC, its literally maple syrup hardened / partially frozen by sitting on a bed of snow). All of that being said, I LOVE snow in games, since there is none of the irl inconveniences attached to it. At least in red dead it leaves immediately after the holidays, we're not stuck with it until late April. j_jesser and IamCourtney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyxTx Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) The snow makes things a bit more difficult for a while. That's actually a good thing IMO. There are other things one can do other than play RDRO during the snow and there sure are many more serious issues with the game to be upset about.

Krommer Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It isn't the snow so much as how they should have tracking trails/herb highlights when eagle eye show up as some other color than WHITE. Make them purple or something, during the snow event thing. 9 hours ago, dmlaughlin76 said: YOU DON'T HAVE TO play Infidel!

djb204 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I’m from Canada, it’s cold and snow covered here right now. So what? I don’t get the argument of “I live in snow, so I can’t stand snow in game’ LOL. The snow is a nice change. It’s gonna go back to a constant summer time for the next year. It’s 2 weeks of snow out of an entire year. It’s harmless, it’s NOT permanent, and it will be over before you know it.

jazzbone Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yea one day of the cruddy annual winter weather effects is all i don't want.

Megadeus Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hell no. I love the snow in this game.. If it were up to me we'd have snow all the way through February. And I live in an area where I deal with snow all winter long in real life too, so quit complaining. As a matter of fact I wish there were more snowy areas in this game generally. We've got all these animal fur garment sets and cool outfits that can only be worn in the cold... and we hardly ever get to wear em. j_jesser and Lonely-Martin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCourtney Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I don't mind the snow and low temperatures but I will admit the general grey gloom is getting to me a bit. It's not like there aren't any bright, sunny days in winter. Ah well, on the whole I still like the bit of variety. j_jesser, netnow66 and Saffa-Scotty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places are gloomy just about every day for a few months in winter. I wonder how the suicide rate isn't higher in those places. But a week of gloom definitely is not rare IRL. netnow66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandardDonkey Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I feel the same way about snow in game as I do in real life. Excited when it gets here, but after a week or two I get tired of it. It also annoys me to no end seeing snow covering my bed and everything on the INSIDE of my tent.
