Still at 70% completion but just checked and my playtime so far is 103 hours

how do you check that?
Bought an Ardennes last night. It's an absolute unit.
Well, getting through the story without it is easy, so what do you need it for? Surely for things that you can just as easily do after the story ends?
It’s a lot thicker, it is probably about the same height, it’s not that much shorter than my Turkoman. noticed the thoroughbred is tied with the Foxtrotter for top end but Foxtrotter has a lot more health.
I saw this huuuuge beauty of a horse which was a shire horse but it was in a bronze colour. I was tempted to make it my new ride. The thing was massive but probably moves like a tanker.
Ah really. I need to upgrade. I'm sure my 2nd Thoroughbred isn't as fast as my first.
only just started playing this - incredible. but a bit annoying that getting the camp out of the red into the yellow (provisions etc) costs a fortune - most of my money has just gone on that
Anyone got any decent names for their horses? I was hoping mine would be male so I could call it Duke - but it was female (the white awesome one you can find up in the snow) so I've called it Willow - which isn't anywhere near as good. Tempted by 'White Lightning' but I'm not sure any decent cowboy would have called their horse that.

I’m beginning to think horses have their own personalities. Not sure if it’s based on breed or sex. But even well into bonding with my big Turk, he’s still a right bastard. He kicked me for standing behind him while I was distracted for a few moments. Always whinnying... have to calm him down constantly.
I don’t know what his problem is...

UMMMMMM!! anyone come across the “wolfman” yet? Just chased some butt naked dude who was howling and growling at me back to his cave.
got to his cave and he set two wolves on me so I killed them and now he is curled up crying on the floor butt naked. Not sure if I should just kill him or let him be. [/spoilers]
I used the Xbox app on my phone under Acheivements (think its on the console too)

Is there really any benefit from developing the camp? I have only finished 30% of the story and have barely touched my camp yet but I don't see how it would help as the game is easy enough without it. I got $2,500 in my pocket right now though, having already paid over $800 of bounties (I have no bounty on me anywhere) and bought a horse for $550 in total (I wanted $1,500 one but they were not available in any of the stables when I went shopping for them), I don't really know what I can spend the remaining $2,500 on. Maybe I'll donate a thousand or so to the camp.
The world is so massive, not just in size but also in detail. I came across an injured fellow in the woods around Rhodes yesterday and he wanted to go to a doctor in Saint Denis. This was the first time I rode to Saint Denis and dear, was I blown away by that city. I think I will actually need to come back there for proper missions within the next 20 hours so I'll leave more explarations until then. I am yet to travel to New Austin too, have not been there even once. Part of me just wants to ride around as much as possible and explore, I don't want to speed up the story in this game at all as I want to be playing this into 2019 and not finish this until at least mid-January.
Ffs. Do you think the money given at the end corresponds to how much you made before, seems a bit pointless to do loads of treasure hunts, get loads of dosh, then it all just doesn't count. Bullshit.

Ya I'm working my way through the hunting for those satchels now, just another bit off yet!
Not sure if you want to know exactly but I had $3000 with Arthur and the money they gave me at the end of the epilogue was
Don't know if they always give the same amount or if it depends on how much you had
$20000
Just got to Chapter V. Wasn’t expecting that!
How many chapters are there? Wanna finish this now so I can focus on Battlefield V tomorrow onwards.

Good luck with that! There's 6 chapters and 2 epilogues. You're not finishing it within the day, unless you've got literally nothing else to do.
I believe you can buy them from a fence. Don't think you need any pelts, just money.
RIP old man, I'll look after Buell.
I loved spending time with him tbh.
I had to abandon the Buell side mission because I couldn’t tame him.
Hate that fecking horse.

Were you trying to lasso him and then tame him?
well, i feel a little dead inside now. One mission into the epilogue and I'm missing Arthur already.
Don’t lasso him. Just calm him down.
It's a strange experience for me. In that the world and it's 'encounters', small tasks/side missions, exploration and hunting is the meat of the experience, whereas the actual story and gameplay are a distant side dish. Which is, in a way, a bit of a shame to be honest. Right now, I have very little interest in the story - like you say, were playing a bunch of crooks. There isn't that much to be invested in.I can't give much of a shit about Arthur and Dutch's 'problems' when they're merrily going around shooting and robbing just about anyone.
And the gameplay is just so incredibly basic. The combat literally exists for you to feel involved and in control. There's so little depth to it.
But, like I said, the world and the experience of it is just wonderful. I can see myself in it for a long time to come, and that in itself coupled with a story/narrative that isn't, so far, badly done by means (just not great), makes this an excellent all round game in itself. Just as of now, it's not one of the greats. Lots of time for that to change.
The voice actor for Javier followed me on twitter which is pretty cool.
Does Marston's voice sound different compared to the first game? Someone mentioned being it being annoying. And while I agree, I don't remember it being as grating in RDR 1. I suppose it is a younger Marston after all.
Not to me, sounds the same.
I really hope GTA 6 gets a new game engine. The gameplay in this feels so clunky and dated.
Great game but I just want to finish it now, it’s very repetitive.

It sounds the same to me and it is the same guy.
Just started chapter 4 last night. I only wanted to drop off some perfect pelts to Pearson but as soon as I set foot in camp the final chapter 3 mission activated. Quite enjoyed hunting on my own for a couple of days in the wilderness. Charles came and tracked me down at one point to find out what I was doing and ask me to come back back with him which was a nice touch.
GTA 6 will almost certainly be a next gen game so I’d imagine they’d build a new engine for it. This isn’t Bethesda we’re talking about.
CD Projekt red will probably raise the bar so high with Cyberpunk 2077 Rockstar will feel obligated to catch up.
that's pretty cool. I think what always amazes me about this game are the small little things people say happen to them in it that never happened in mine. So many camp conversations I just never saw, or random shit in the wilderness (although i wish the damn KKK would show up for me). Really makes you feel like it's not all just completely scripted and immerses me in it.
So is there any point to crafting the camp upgrades with Pearson, like the antlers and the rugs around camp? Or is it just purely cosmetic?
What's the point of hunting ? Other than Legendary animals, is there any real benefit? I think I've been hunting all wrong. My sachel is full so I have not been getting all the parts which I assume must be of some use when crafting
The parts you don't get are things like fat and meat used for cooking and crafting. Hunting is really just to upgrade your satchels.
Hunting and all of that secondary stuff like pouring funds into the camp is pretty pointless I found. I’m at the end of Chapter 6 now and wish that I didn’t waste so much time on the camp etc.
The game is easy enough without doing the other stuff.
Hmmm. Doesn't seem like I'd be missing out if I avoided it altogether apart from for shits and giggles.
