Oh and it seemed like the Litchfield Repeater was better than the Lancaster Repeater in every regard but I swear it is worse. Especially in accuracy. Lancaster was my most used weapon. Too good of weapon. 

I feel like I mainly see the difference in weapons in animals. In humans it's really only 'does this splatter their head' or not since I mostly try to land headshots anyway. The weapon stats don't really seem to make much of a difference on humans. 

 

That double-barreled long barrel shotgun is the best as far as I'm concerned in terms of feeling. Blowing someone's head off with that thing is great.

Just beat this last night, loved the whole thing but after the 3rd chapter the pacing really picked up as well as my love for Arthur as a character and it was hard to put down. I’m not sure if it’s my favorite game of the year, but it’s close to GOW. It was a lot of what I wanted, but GOW as a game is superior. My favorite story this year though, and what a remarkable technical achievement.

Yeah money becomes irrelevant.  I'm sitting on 9000 and in chapter 6 as well. I've started to wonder how much Dutch wants to steal to finance their future because I feel like my Arthur already has the money and is being selfish 

So it's a Rockstar game.

 

"NICO, MY COUSIN, WE'RE BUT POOR IMMIGRANTS FORCED INTO THIS HARD LIFE! WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE BUT TO DO THIS MISSION FOR $250? YOU HAVE $3M IN CASH ON YOU RIGHT NOW? FUCK THAT GO MURDER THIS GUY AND GET PAID IN HOT POCKETS!"

What's up with balancing in general? Why would I ever do a side quest that pays me $10 when even in Chapter 2 I was consistently at $400 in my pocket at the very least and had nothing to spend it on because the game locks everything based on story progression instead of XP.

Rockstar.

Im still not finished. Stalled on chapter 6, went back to hunting for legendary fish and animals (and playing BFV)... but I agree. 

 

I already know my GOTY order:

 

1.) GOW

2.) RDR2

3.) Spiderman

If you use the high end ammo on the better repeaters you can one shot many humans with a body shot. If you're hitting them in the head, I think you're right that stats don't matter much.

So i got lucky and found that Arabian horse while just exploring and it took me forever to catch him.  I really suck at horse breaking.  Then after carefully reading instructions I was doing it all wrong this whole time :|

So are you supposed to get off your horse and creep at them.  Thinking of getting her tonite

Yes and watch the calm meter bottom right and make sure it never goes red.

Don't pat the horse either, for some reason that Arabian one does not like it and kicks you.

 

What I was doing wrong is only moving the Left stick when I saw Arthur leaning....you have to go the opposite direction the horse is bucking, not the opposite direction Arthur is leaning.  If he's leaning looking to fall off it's already over.

You guys caught the Arabian in the wild? I just bought it at one of the stables.

i have reached Saint Denis and the fucking people need to gtfo when im riding down the street.  i always try to avoid them and when they do their "out of the way" animation its always in my path so i end up running them over and getting police after me

Saint Denis The Menace

 

I had cops after me every single time I was in that town and subsequently avoided it. It's really gorgeous but entirely to easy to fuck up in.

Is there a glitch that your horse won't spawn after fast traveling via train?  About 90% of the time my horse spawns but there are those few times it doesn't and it's annoying.

 

Well, if you jump off your horse, buy a ticket on a train and then speed off in the distance, what is your horse supposed to do? Buy a ticket as well? You just abandoned him! 

 

For real though, before I buy a stagecoach or train ticket, I always whistle for my horse to come to me. Seems to do the trick, and it's waiting for me on the other end.

Most of the time it's there waiting for you from my experience.  Never had to whistle.  About 2 times it seemed to have stayed or got "stuck" on the way so I'm guessing there is something holding it back.

This can most certainly happen. The horse can get stuck on geometry or whatever when following you so it could be related to that.

so I did this and like super slow with multiple fails.  Still, have no idea why the horse kept getting spooked.  Honesty, I love the game but so many times things just straight up don't work right or are beyond poorly explained.  Like should I 'CALL' to the horse first.  Because that seems like a bad idea and the first few times that would cause immediate spook.  BUT turns out you have to do it to initiate the whole process (AND IM NOT EVEN SURE ABOUT FUCKING THAT!) should have just lasso'd the fucker.

Also, the cinematic view thing won’t automatically keep your horse going when you’re following somebody (since you don’t know where you’re going you can’t set a waypoint), which is annoying because the game knows where we’re going. 

yeah but you can still whistle in cine mode
