Don't.

Totally agree!

Have you guys seen the big stink over the suffragette killing videos?

Lol, feminists on twitter saying it’s an act of hate. They’ll want people arrested for it soon!

Yup seems any excuse to get their knickers in a twist these days :rolleyes:

next it will be animal pixelated rights or something

7.8 is a very precise score - what was your criteria and scoring system there @MOOGLEYS

It’s not quite good enough for an 8 but a bit better than a 7.5......

But just closer to an 8 than a 7. 5 right

Have to say I'm overall disappointed in the legendary fish. They are far too easy to catch. If you are in a legendary fish location and you cast out the special lure, you will definitely get a bite from the legendary fish first time no matter where you cast it as far as I can tell.

Boge · 8 Nov 2018 at 19:59

So you'd rather sit there for 3 or 4 days waiting for a bite, like proper carp fishing or something?

It's a game ffs. And it has a bit of fishing in it. innit.

Go to the Fence, when you interact with him, there'll be Buy, Sell & Craft. It's the craft option you want (Square on PS4).

Ahh cheers!! Can't believe I missed that option

Wow. Your comprehension is impressive!

I was commenting that I am disappointed, as the legendary fish ate actually easier to catch than regular fish. The game tells you when you are close, what bait to use and you are guaranteed a bite on your first cast wherever you cast inside the area.

Boge · 8 Nov 2018 at 20:16

Actually. Thinking about it. Has anyone ever done a carp fishing simulator? Y'know. Cook and roll your own boilies. Different recipes. Corned beef hash and anchovies (bit of a secret that was, on a certain lake that I spent far too much time on many moons ago)

Games not booting at all for me the past two days, just stuck on the loading images. Xbx disc version, not had the disk out of the brand new console since release any ideas?

Sounds obvious but have for forced the console to do a full system restart?

Yep, taken disk out etc

Strange bug

Is it strange that I'm not enjoying red dead redemption 2 at all? The combat seems terrible, the mission structure linear and all the open world survival stuff a chore.

If it wasn't for the promise of what the multiplayer stuff might bring to the table when it arrives next month I'd have sold it!

JakePNEFC · 8 Nov 2018 at 23:16

Chapter 5 garbage, screen has only just stopped shaking :rolleyes:

Kerplunk · 8 Nov 2018 at 23:28

Why is chapter 5 garbage? I'm on chapter 4 and enjoying it so far...

There are many reasons which I could go in to, but you don't want to know if you haven't played it yet!...Maybe you'll love it.

Imo, if they completely removed chapter 5 from the game in a patch tomorrow it would be a better game.

I noticed earlier that you can get more control over your horse and avoid being pulled into trees by going into the control options, the default setting seems to link the horse steering to the direction of the camera.

Andr3w · 9 Nov 2018 at 08:01

I've just started chapter 5....bit weird!

Nope, I'm in the same boat as you. I was really enjoying it at the start. But now all I do is ride from one place to another, button bash some menial tasks (NEED TO BRUSH MY HORSE AGAIN FFS) and get forced into a bit of shooting on occasion.

Can't deny the scale and detail of the game is impressive, but it's just missing something in my opinion.

Yep, just print off page 165 of the guide I linked to

Pighardia said:
Yes. Go to the trapper and go to sell. You can then go through the catalogue of things he can craft and what is needed for each thing.

Thanks, I have the guide book already so will give the hunting/crafting a go, need to slow down on the main story, up to chapter 3 and feel thats a good point to do other things.
