Took this one of Arthur feeding his horse.
So, I guess the PC version of this is still super buggy or something? Figured I’d wait awhile to start this to let Rockstar get all the kinks out, and a) it tells me I need to have NVidia driver 442.29, yet the latest I can find is 442.19. And then, after starting it anyway, the game CTD after finishing the first mission (where you ‘recruit’ Sadie), and I have to play that whole, long mission again.
I mean, WTF, Rockstar? Just damned terrible.
BTW - I did do a bit of searching, and found a way to d/l and install a hotfix that took up up to 442.37. Still shouldn’t have to do that. If a game requires a later driver than what’s available through the app or the latest listed on the online site, then wait to post the fix until the driver is available. Just not that hard.
The photo mode is fun to play around with

Holy cow, look at the texture detail there. Like Arthur’s expression.

Ok, now get an action shot of Arthur punching his horse.
I received no such message when I installed the game the other day, and I’m running 425.31 on a 1070FE. So far, it appears to be running just fine, but I haven’t finished the first mission yet, so maybe I have bad times in store for me later.
You’re a monster, @Kolbex
That genuinely made me feel like crap! Someone ran off to get the law so I just sat there and waited for him to come arrest me.
I’ve decided to finish chapter 6 , dammit Dutch seriously every plan is horrible.

Isn’t that the Subtitle on Chapter 6? :-D

I decided to reload RDR2 just to learn the controls again before trying RDO, also wanted to be able to help someone who has started it for the first time and is in Chapter 2 and I couldn’t remember some tips and tricks. Had no desire to actually replay it, since I know how most things turn out. But dammit, I started riding around the beautiful countryside, exploring, and I’m hooked again. In fact, knowing what I know now makes some of the interactions in the game even more interesting. Just wish I could kill the damned German guy who makes you go collect debts. 'Nuff said on that.
And chapter 6 complete, what a shitshow up on that mountain.
Arthur Spoilers
So does it end the same for everyone? Arthur and John try to escape up the mountain, Arthur keeps back and holds the high ground to let John get away. Micha shows up and an epic fist fight occurs, but out of nowhere Dutch shows up to prevent Arthur from killing Micha with his revolver. Then Dutch walks away, Micha runs down the hill and escapes, and Arthur dies staring out into the valley as the sun sets.

That’s the good ending. The bad one goes way worse.

The bad ending:. Same fight, but Micah shoots Arthur in the head and and leaves him there. No quiet peaceful death. Your honor determines your ending.
I am a dozen or so missions after chapter 6 now and this game just keeps delivering.
@Guap that bad ending would have pissed me off even more. :)

Since I guess we’re not spoilering these words anymore: the “good” (really, high honor) ending makes no damn sense to me, re: Micah’s actions. It’s out of character. Both of those depend on your choice to help John, too. If you instead go back for the money, similar but somewhat different things occur.

Had no intent of replaying RDR2, just getting used to the controls before RDO, as I said, but damn I am so hooked again. I’ve already seen at least one thing I missed the first time around and I’m only Chapter 2. Knowing the future adds an eerie dimension to the people and stories, in a good way.
I immediately went to the burned out town to get the big load of gold bars, but it appears that has been patched out. Only got one. Then trudged all the way up to the NW part of the map to get the White Arabian. Took all the time to slowly close in on it, calm it, being VERY patient, then used a trick I saw online that made it trivial to break it (about 10 seconds.) Now I have my White Arabian, Destiny, who I will stick with for the entire story (even if there are “better” horses in Chapter 6, because she will be my partner for the entire story.
Playing in HDR this time on my new 65" Sony 950G - sure is pretty.
