Small gripe but I am a fan of the smaller more quant things in games. Since launch my poses for self portraits (camera not at studio) have been broken. Can only do the one with the hands folded, and the two kneeling ones. And now with posse portraits, every time we go to do one, the posse leader will crash out of the game.

 

Yeah this has annoyed me every time I forget and open the camera to take a picture of my character.

Im starting to be bored with the roles, it was a great dlc with a lot of free roam stuff, but it now feels like everything is a repeat already.

 

Collector is a bit repetitive, doing the same bounty missions is repetitive and so are trader role.

I rarly get the poster with 4 or 6 targets, bounty wagon was a waist imo.
 

I have unlocked and bought all i want, and it didnt take that long.

Guess next dlc would be in december if we are lucky..

[ghostsoap01]

Camp keeps failing to set, and I've got a bunch of pelts. I thought R* fixed camp not spawning. Seriously, the trader role is pretty much broken and unplayable for me because of this.

Cripps has packed up your camp...

Maybe you can set it up in San Andreas.

 

Seriously if my camp can't be set up shouldn't I see other camps set in the area? Yet I ride past empty camp locations.  If the game can't handle 30 camps at a time they need to reduce the player count.  Hell I never see anyone with the latest updates any way, I may as well be in a solo session for as much player interaction as there is these days.

For your viewing pleasure, I present to you a clip of Cripps getting slapped the sh*t out of by an O'driscoll. I find it therapeutic during times like this.

It started when Cripps sent me to steal supplies at Wallace Station, which was just a few yards from where my camp was. I stole them and just ran back to the camp on foot, one of the guards followed me back to camp and this ensued.

I'm sure this has been mentioned....

 

But can my f*cking horse come to me.. Not 5 feet away but to me, right next to me.

 

I'm carrying sh*t, so get your butt over here..

why doesn’t the horse come to you if you whistle while in an animation??? also can the horse please come to you faster when it does because it literally walks 

[Foxwolfe]

It seems, whether intentional or not, that the horse will now only come when your character is able to make the audible whistle sound, even though the horse icon still pulsates when you try to whistle in an animation.

 

And yes, it does feel like they take way longer to get going when you call now, kinda annoying.

A quite petty change really. With all that's wrong with the game, that was on the list, lol.

The same rant I had in this very thread some pages ago. 

 

They probably wanted to make the bounty missions a little less easy by doing that. Which is frankly annoying because it affects hunting most of the time. 

 

They make the looting animation faster yet they make other things slower. Always taking some steps back.

Not tryna be a bitch about your bitching but I rather have it f*cking walk then appear out of thin air next to your feet like any vehicle you can call in GTA. 

 

Don't worry though, R* has heard your voice and this "inconvenience" will one day dissapear.... 

 

Gotta give the casuals what they want.

On this same note, having the Hunting Wagon magically disappear into thin air when "dismissed" kills my immersion. They might as well have given us a "Magic Pixie Sack" that we store our animals in and then click our heels three times to make it vanish. They might as well have cut out the middle man by having the Wagon transport directly to camp when dismissed because that's what its used for now.

Spawn wagon, put in animals, dismiss wagon, ride to camp, spawn wagon, give animals to Cripps. Just cut out the middle man and have it already spawned.

 

Personally I dont think you should be able to dismiss a Hunting Wagon with stuff in it. You then need to decide if its worth lugging around the Wagon.

Friend of mine just does this. Last night fishing at Wapiti, put 5 muskie in it, dismiss fast travel to valentine butcher call wagon sell rince and repeat. Clever yeah, but immersive no.

Oh yea, I do the same. I am not insane and I see the convenience but RDO seems to be already diverting radically from the amazing immersive experience that was RDR2 but, like you said, gotta cater to dem casuals.

Oh, that removes risk and speeds up travel.

 

Patch incoming: 'Sorry Dorothy, no heel tapping for you anymore' 

 

Though they'll call it 'various stability and gameplay fixes'

[netnow66]

Immersion...?

 

Magic cards that give you extraordinary powers...button presses that give you super/night vision...button press that gives you Max Payne powers...fast travel...etc,. etc.

 

But I guess it's up to the individual to decide what "too much" is because, theoretically, you could play the game without using any of those...but I bet no one does.

Rockstar, please let us store more photos and not make deleting photos a pain in the ass

Even I try to play in unglitched lobbies on occasion... I was taking a bounty back and was attacked by some of his followers. I dispatched them, got off and looted and jumped back on my horse. I didn't see the player coming over the small hill to my right at first but did see at the last minute as he slammed into me and my horse. I'm in Defensive mode, as usual. Sorry to say, instinctively, I flicked into dual wield and hit him with two incendiary rounds (I usually just go to another server--I don't want them to get the satisfaction of dragging me down to their level). Meanwhile, his posse member (who I didn't see) popped me from a hill on the left. When I came back, the option for me to Parlay wasn't there (I guess because I killed the first player?), so I calmly collected myself and did what I usually do. I was killed by them a few times as I used the in game menus to report them to Rockstar and block them on PSN.

 

If I didn't think that wasn't enough reinforcement of (what I feel is) Rockstar's griefing idiocy that perpetuates free roam, after I went to another server, there was a bounty on ME!!

 

Such a flawed but fun game....

 

 

[Bakkerbaard]

With all this talk of immersion whenever it seems like a good counterarguement, does anyone else here feel it's a little jarring when you pop a guy in the head and he doesn't keel over?

 

I was doing a delivery and this other fellow figured he'd go and make things exciting for me. I'm in defensive, so I decided to just take the pot shots and ride on, but then he starts lobbing fire bottles. Eventually he takes out the cart (or rather, sets the horse on fire). I can see Riggs Station from the smoldering ashes of my cart, so there's not really a problem, just two trips with the horse.

But I have to go through the guy to get my supplies and he's put me down twice already. Since he's the red dot and I'm the defensive blue dot I figure I have a fighting chance. I even manage to creep up on him, though I'm willing to believe he's just standing still out of pity. I line up the headshot, and bam, nothing.

The f*ck?

I try with dead eye but I can't even paint on him. I did get a couple more shots in of which one defenitely was a headshot which also didn't work. Finally I managed to put him toes up and at that point he just left me alone and I finished the delivery, so no real harm done. 

 

I understand people going "boo-hoo auto-aim headshot fix it!", but I feel that as soon as you go rogue you waive all rights to quality of life and you can get your head turned into a canoo again.

I thought the whole defensive mode thing should give you a decent edge, but quite frankly I feel like it did nothing that instance (and to be honest: The only instance).

Not to mention that everyone doing Trader is co-owner of the "Cripps Trading Company", and everyone has their own magical vat-grown Cripps clone at their camp.

 

...and we're all the one unique Chosen One who got framed for a crime we didn't commit, and got busted out by Horley on the way to execution after 6 months hard time. ALL of us.

 

But yeah, sure, R*, "immersion"...

[The Shakermaker]

PVP this morning. Had Public Enemy mode about five times on the trot.

Also, no new clothes today. Also bored of being a trader. I'm such a bitch

[Foxwolfe]

So did they change to a two week cycle for events/dripfeed and all that without saying anything after we've been on a weekly cycle for almost a year now? 

 

Edit: checked the newswire and they have a new event and whatnot but no dripfeed clothes I guess, boo.

Defensive mode is horrible. And the game insists on putting you into and leaving you in offensive mode after certain missions and bounties. I always forgot I've been put into offensive mode until some low level [email protected]@$$ just walks up and kills me. FFS. Happened today and somehow the guy goes right back into defensive mode. Something is genuinely broken in these modes.

Wish I had a video of this but one time I accepted trade route and was deposited on the train platform with, I kid you not, my head on fire. 

[hugh750]

i don't know if anyone else has had this bug after the new dlc came out, but so far i've lost my saddle twice after finishing a legendary bounty.

tonight i did the hootowl bounty and when i  finished it and spawned into a lobby my saddle was missing.

i had to once again go to a stable to get it back.

[blackwolfred]

So, I played a trade route and didn’t get the poncho afterwards... Are we getting them with the money later? Or like everything else that happens with this game did I get the shaft?
