Red Dead Redemption 2

if xess works that'll probably be OK. I'll take a look, but if you can't adjust the HUD and that's super bright it's going to kill my OLED

You can adjust the hud in Reno, I use 100nits for HUD and 203 for paperwhite

I actually played this for the first time this year. Somehow I'd managed to avoid all spoilers entirely, and oh my god, what a game it is!! Loved it so much I bought RDR1 on Steam when it was on offer recently! Both fantastic games!!

Need to try and get into this again.

I got to the camp and was really enjoying it.

Then understood you got to feed the horse and realised there were a load of RPG elements to it and I literally CBA as it's tedium / time consuming (don't have much).

Given the "status" of the title, should try it again.

It's a difficult one IMO. Clearly there are a lot of people who love it and think it's the greatest thing ever.

Personally, I totally agree that the story is great, scripting and acting very good as well. But the tedium doesn't really end (not for me, anyway). By the end I was just willing it to end, and so fed up of watching a horse's backside bobbing up and down. Still a good game, but if you feel tedium at the beginning there's every chance that feeling will only grow.

You can feed the horse whilst riding, and generally after a while a lot of these elements do get dialled back they're not as big a deal as their intro makes them out to be.

Remember to put some upgrades into camp, arthurs tent in particular unlocks fast travel but also upgrading the other supplies will mean you dont need to be bringing back food every 5 minutes.

This. If tedium's not your thing, wait until you reach the end missions which were unnecessary in my opinion. Like watching paint dry.

I solved this by getting a trainer off Lennys Mods I think it’s called. Just turned off the stuff that I found annoying. Certainly not for everyone but after struggling to get into it I absolutely loved it once I’d tinkered a bit

I've been trying to play Read Dead Online with a mate this week, having not touched RDR2 for quite a few years.

I say "trying" as every session has been ruined by cheaters... people teleporting next to you and killing you over and over and over again or dropping explosions all over town.

We just want some PVE time in RDO - is there any way to do that or is it just time to uninstall and move on?

I was part of a few RDR2 social pages and it seems from reading them the online part of the game is a mess and ruined. I have however never tried online so could be wrong ...

Rockstar+online=hack central.

I'd stick to the single player and forget the online stuff.

Well, I googled around and found the "RDO Lobby Manager" mod, which implements private lobbies...

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/772

We were about to just uninstall and give up on RDO but gave this mod a go and it works a treat... have played a couple of 3+ hour sessions and never seen anyone else on the Players list.

Bliss!
