I changed the run button from hold to toggle, reduced the aim assist a bit and increased the look sensitivity until it felt right. It also has separate settings for third person and first person. I don't know how you feel about the lock on targeting but you can turn that off entirely. You can also set it so you don't have to button tap and can turn those functions into holding the button (Sprinting and other actions). The controls (like GTA V) are very customizable and if folks take the time they can pretty much get the game to play and feel the way they want it to. The default controls do need tweaking in my opinion though. Thanks! Going to tweak my settings tonight when I start playing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom631 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 So I’ve got 14hrs in the clock (according to my Xbox). I have to agree whit the majority here and say that the controls are stiff, heavy and not intuitive at all. It feels like a Rockstar game, but slightly worse. I was hoping for a step forward from GTAV but this game feels like a solid step or 2 back. The game is still enjoyable but the controls definitely take away from that. So far the game says I’ve done 22 missions...the first chapter I felt was excellent. It set the mood of the game and it actually felt like a story. I guess I’m deep in to chapter 2 and I feel like nothing has really happened. It just feels likes a bunch of disconnected missions. I know what it’s inevitably leading up to...but let’s get on with it already. It must be 9-10hrs since I finished chapter 1 and things are still locked in the shops, clothing, can’t fish, etc. in other words, this game is in no rush to move the story along. It’s also obvious In the gameplay. They spread missions out so far between that it’s sometimes 10-15 minutes of just riding on horseback. Yes there are things to do in the open world, but not much for its size. I feel like a lot of time is simply clocked getting from place to place. If the story doesn’t pick up that is going to eventually get really dull. This game is a solid 8/10 so far. It’s suffering from the same overhype like GTA IV. With all that, I still can’t put it down. At the end of the day I’m really enjoying it. I just hope the pace picks up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firewithin Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 just ran across the guy who was tending to his horse and the horse kicks him. i was laughing so hard put maybe 10 hours or so and have no idea what missions are story related but really just running around doing bounties or side quests. i need to unlock fast travel some because damn there is a lot of horse riding to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I’m enjoying the story and character interactions so far. The convoluted gameplay is the problem. Shit could be made much easier but they tried to pack so much shit into the game it made too many things a chore. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

Dutch's string our missions are the main story ones. Also this was pretty cool Spoiler I found a creepy shack in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of skeletons in beds and and another skeleton at the head of a table... after reading the note I found there, it seems to be part of some cult.

You can get used to it but you really never stop shaking your head at it Riding horse Hold L1 to open Satchel,R1 to cycle thru each satchel,use L3 to cycle to item,release L1 to use item and in some cases releasing L1 wont actually use the item if the game decides your moving to fast but you never get a pop up that says why the item wasnt used. My personnel favorites are Hold button for 3 seconds to open drawer,Hold button for 3 seconds to search drawer,Hold button for 3 seconds to take each item. RPG games solved this issue long ago by have text box pop up with the items in the drawer and having the player choose the items they want. No running in camp. The game removing your load out constantly for some unknown reason. Finish a story quest, see a pristine animal run by, hop off the horse,have to grab bow from horse even though not 2 seconds before i finished the story quest it was on my back.

Dodger Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I’m liking free slow burn. Sure the controls are a bit janky and I get annoyed making sure Arthur’s takes his morning shit every day but it’s a beautiful (at least on the x) detailed world where I easily get lost and side tracked. After a game like Far Cry 5 where you can have a silenced machine gun that doubles as a sniper rifle within a couple of hours I’m liking the slower pace here. i would say say it’s a quintessential rockstar game. A big beautiful detailed world with some janky controls you have to get used to. If you didn’t like GTAV you probably won’t like this. If you enjoyed that you will enjoy this.

I am pretty sure I know how to play the game. I still don't get what you mean by this as well. What do I need to learn? I know how to play Dark Souls 2, but I fucking hate the way that game feels. Everything in that game just always felt off when compared to Dark Souls 1 and then Dark Souls 3. That is how it is with RDR2, everything feels off and it is intended to feel that way. 3 hours ago, skillzdadirecta said: I didn't change much but you can tweak a lot.

This one drives me nuts. You just can't expect to have your weapons from one moment to the next, and the real question is why wouldn't you want them? Are they removing them simply so my character doesn't always have a bow slung over his shoulder for appearance's sake? Frankly, I'd rather that be my choice.

EternallDarkness Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 played through the end of chapter 1 last night. Pretty good so far. I do wish the tracking was easier to see, maybe I just need to adjust the contrast on my tv but the white on white in the snow is almost invisible for me...but then I'm old and maybe my eyes are going, lol. I will say the environment with the blowing snow is awesome. I've been in crazy snow like that and they nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got off the ground expecting to be able to apologize to the guy and be on my way... well, the other guy got up and started shooting at me so I ran at him and punched him. Evidently, I killed him with one punch and there was a witness so instead of going after the witness I just ran and got on my horse and took off. Few minutes later, I went and paid my $10 bounty. ...and I have never needed to buy horse food as of yet in the game and I would venture to guess that I am pretty far into Chapter 2. My only high bounty right now is $300 in a certain town that seemed like things kept getting worse as the mission went on... no spoilers. In regards to people seemingly not enjoying the game... I heard that it's OK for others to have different opinions. You be you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
