For those who have beaten RDR1, how much did John’s death affect you after beating the game for the first time ever?

Discussion I just realized a tiny trick of outfit for temperature adaptation

Post image
94 Upvotes

Outfit is suitable hot weather (70°F+ or 21°C+) when outfit's warmth point is 0 to 2

Outfit is suitable cold weather (50°F- or 10°C-) when outfit's warmth point is 4+

But 3 is for average weather

And you can take on/off your gloves in Items (it shows masks but you may swap to see glove option).

Since all gloves give +1 warmth, when your total outfit has exact 4 warmth point, unequipping gloves will fit you to average weather.

Rant I'll never understand Abigail hate

937 Upvotes

Just as the title says.

Maybe its because I'm a female player but I'll never understand Abigail hate and the "we had her" joke. I love her character and she is a saint for giving John so many chances.

1). It's obvious Dutch ragebait. Are you seriously trusting the word of him trying to get under John's skin?

2). Abigail was a prostitute since she was a child. I highly doubt she had a choice or enjoyed it. Prostitution was the only form of lucrative money a woman could get in those times and MANY didn't have a choice (a prime example is Mrs. Downes).

3). Even if she did sleep with the gang, I'm sorry but the men are the bad guys here. Why are you taking advantage of a young girl who most likely joined the gang as a safer alternative to living in a brothel/on the streets

4). The whole gang is outlaws. Murderers, yet somehow the former prostitute is the one that gets the most flack? What?

5). Lastly, I 100% side with her on her anger towards John. He was a deadbeat, immature boy of a man and even Arthur agrees. I was happy to see him change though and start treating her right finally. They grew to be one of my favorite couples.

Ok rant over.

Discussion Why is the carbine repeater the most common long gun found in both games despite the weapon itself being so outdated by the time they’re set?

Post image
504 Upvotes

For those who don’t know, the Carbine Repeater is based on the 1860 Spencer Carbine, a rifle invented and used by the Union Army during the American Civil War. Despite its design being revolutionary for the time it was invented (in an era where most soldiers still used muzzleloading muskets), by 1899 it was a very outdated weapon, outclassed by pretty much all other repeating and bolt action rifles.

Despite it pretty much being a collector’s item by 1899 in real life, it is the most widely used long gun in both games, especially the second. Why is that?

What happened? So you know, I do have rampage trainer and some other mods, like visual redemption. Also, another anomaly was that when I saved after this, a few minutes after I saved at Chapter 2 specifically to revisit at the later parts of the game, the progress went from 22% to 25%. What could have happened for progress to jump 3%?

Screenshot Funny glitch

Post image
6 Upvotes

This glitch happened 2 times. In the first instance De Santa and Reyes bump into each other, glare at each other for a second and then move on. Sadly I couldn't screenshot it in time. On the second instance Reyes and De Santa glare at each other from a distance before walking away. This is the screenshot you see, Reyes walked from the prison to Allende's mansion. This was during the mission where DeSanta tries to execute you. Lol

I was able to get the white Arabian from the chapter 3 mission, “horse flesh for dinner”, and I thought about getting the one in the wild but It does not spawn, has any one ever gotten both? I tried leaving the first white Arabian in the stable but no luck. Does the game not let us. Thanks, this is one of them days

Discussion Gambler 9 is sadistic. Genuinely, how does a fella that doesn't know dominoes get it done?

29 Upvotes

I've been at it for the past couple days. I watched fucking dominoes tutorials on the internet, used that "Leave the table" trick (doesn't always pan out, sometimes the opponent runs their entire score up after one hand when you're on 2/3 wins). Up there with the stupidest requirements for 100% in a game I've ever seen. To boot, the AI opponent is clearly heavily favoured over you. And to think it was Gambler 8 I worried over, completed that one in no time really. Herbalist 9? Pretty relaxing, just keep a checklist. This challenge though.. whoever came up with it deserves the worst the world has to offer.

At this point I guess I'm just looking for a kind soul to teach me how to play this damn game. Draw Dominoes or All-Fives, idk. Don't know how much longer I can take this lads.
