Am I missing something or is robbing trains not worth it? You get a huge bounty on you no matter what

You do that to get shit to eat

So far my favorite thing has been robbing shit. Twice I've found a house and the chimney had like $150 in it. Finding cool shit/lots of money is fun.

I'm guessing there's nothing cool on those islands, huh? I can buy the boat but I feel like there won't be anything cool.

While RDR2 is a good game, it's objectively inferior to RDR1 in every way except graphics.

fucking how?

depends...for me i only wanted to get into shoot outs/combat, but id have sessions where no enemy camps would spawn. plus the auto aim kinda and character movement didn't make it nearly as satisfying.

eventually went online which was fun for a few weeks, you could literally take on posses of other players by yourself.

but then everyone got money and bought the perks that makes your hat bullet proof, people drink up tonics that make you even more like a tank and that's when i had enough of the fuckery that is rdr.

>shoot someone's kneecaps in RDR1, they stay on their knee
>shoot someone's kneecaps in RDR2, they stand up

Thanks for proving my point.

>crime doesn't pay
color me surprised

why would they leave that out?

Get the Arabian horse (best in game), play story up until you have thousands, buy everything, look up Easter eggs. That's the most fun

>worse AI, worse fist fighting, can't spear people while running, no duel wielding, no dismemberment, worse physics in RDR1

I can go on

pride is the worse sin easily

people just can't admit to being wrong and it's terrible

they're literally identical in terms of focus and direction, next gen just has more memory to add more graphic fidelity and detail. character movement was better in the first game though.

It's a comfy sim user, you don't get to be an outlaw.

The economy is completely fucked in RDR2, you will never have to commit a single crime outside of the main missions and you'll be rich enough to buy everything in the game multiple times over even before the end.

id rather have it like that, than have it where money is scarce on top of the shitty bounty system.

>entire game is about how being an outlaw is a dying way of life that doesn't pay
>woaah why is the bounties so high it just isn't worth it

>being this retarded
no one complained about the price of bounties, it was the pyschic cops, law spawning out of thin air, being seen through masks and when you're hiding behind cover. the instantaneous price on your head when you haven't even been spotted to begin with etc etc...not the actual amount.

I'd rather not be filthy rich by not even bothering to engage in any of the side activities.

Huntings fun until you're looking for an animal you actually need then it mysteriously vanishes from the world. Spending weeks looking for a 3 star Opossum is probably the most miserable I've ever been in a game.

>story should take precedence over gameplay and having fun
Eat Shit Neil Druckmann. Stop posting on Yea Forums.

>doubling down on being retarded
nicely done, user.

>Does this game reward outlaw behavior at all?
Not really. That's one of the main themes of the game. The opening pretty much spells it out

>By 1899, the age of outlaws and gunslingers was at an end
>America was becoming a land of laws
>Even the West had mostly been tamed
>A few gangs still roamed, but they were being hunted down and destroyed

If you want to rob trains though, you can do it on a bridge. You'll easily make more than triple what your bounty will be.

lol mario is over there kid, hurry along the grown ups are talking about adult games

So fucking glad I didn't buy into the hype and get this at launch. I had a feeling it was just going to be a pretty game but all the bullshit that's in GTA would transfer over and I was right.
I was considering getting an eventually goty version with all dlc included but now I don't even think it'll be worth that.

i got it at launch. it's funny to see all the people who havent played it feeling like they missed out. don't get me wrong, the game looks amazing and the production value is there...lol but its' pretty fucking lame relative to the hype. every intuition you have when entering the game, it's all wrong. you can't do anything you would instinctively want to do. your stuck in a literal script and an external script of in game laws.

honestly, if you played the first red dead, you're fine.

>crime doesn't pay in 1899
>crime does pay in 2013, in GTA5
What did they mean by this?

>crime does pay in 2013, in GTA5
Sort of. You made more money from Franklin's White collar hitmaning, and stock manipulation than you did from Michael and Trevor's heists.

>mature games for mature gamers such as myself
holy shit, how's it feel being a walking meme?

its called being a brown nosing apologist for R* / retard.

They're two completely different series'. The themes don't have to be consistent between them, brainlet.

The logic behind the story should be consistent. You should be able to commit crimes and escape fairly easily in RDR2, if it wasn't for the magic policemen. If it was explained why you're immediately spotted and bounty hunters teleport to your location the moment you commit a crime it would make sense.

this game was the biggest fucking disappointment. rockstar fell for the snoy cinematic meme

Rockstar lost their Midas touch.

hausers did this, not sony

What do you mean by magic policeman? I found committing crimes in the wilderness (as in outside of towns) to be very easy.

See the OP

>get a Nokota from some random bandit out in the wilds
>can't sell it at the stable or the horse fence
>forced to kill it so it stops taking up space in my inventory
Speaking of annoying things in my first run so far why can't I just dismiss certain horses whenever?

There is you can easily make 200 bucks from a train robbery blow up the safes

It's amazing how you get these canned responses from snoyboys every time you criticize their movie games

No.

There are supposed to be SYSTEMS in the game to help you deal with this, like changing your appearance before performing these behaviors, robbing trains in isolated areas, and the mask system - but I've found none of them to be effective or work as the developers intended. Sadly, by a certain point in the game, mid-way, you'll be swimming in more money than you have any logical thing to spend it on.

Still a great game, but R* blunders in a few areas.

proved my point, what's the matter? Too deep for you? go back to reading harry potter books

>proved my point
That's not how this works sweetie

There's rare animals, a wrecked ship with a pirate tricorn hat.

The most fun part of the game is exploring, and finding random events and getting into skirmishes. Just let yourself be immersed, it's not that hard.

No. Ignore the main plot, live in the city as a master huntsman, never contract TB, and live out a life of wealth and joy having forsaken the life of a bandit.

DURR WHY DO THEY KNOW ITS ARTHUR

I robbed trains on bridges, so it was easy.

Dumb nigger you can blow up the safes with tnt they only spawn on the trains with passengers

online poker when?

I merely rob the freight trains with the open platforms, there is usually an unguarded chest with $20 and a jewelry item in it.

hate for this game is total fabrication and its obvious

When the game is out of beta and the economy is sound, I would assume.

That's why they split the gold/money. You'll gamble with ingame money, and not gold because you can't have paid gambling in a video game in the year of our lord 2019.

I wouldn't call it fabrication, I can see why the slow paced gameplay would frustrate some players. Not enough bing bing wahoo for them, and seemingly unable to appreciate a slow burn story.

you can bet on races in GTAV with the paid currency

I don't think they consider betting like that gambling. Although I see your point.

What's the best thing to do with pelts and other animal parts? The trapper doesn't sell for much and I don't have the right stuff for the gear

Buy train ticket to Annesberg. When you get there stay on the train as it starts to go again. Whistle for horse so it follows the train. Wait till you’re up in the mountains near the waterfalls. Put on your mask and kill the guards and work your way up to seize control of the train. Drive the train into the long tunnel and park it inside. Take out your lantern and rob all the passengers and blow the safes. For extra evil and money kill the passengers and loot their corpses. Law men rarely make it up into the tunnel. When ready get on horse and ride away. Stop to change clothing. If done right and with some luck you won’t get a bounty because no one who saw you is alive or able to identify you.

Crimes are such a pain in the ass to perform , I actually avoid taking out my gun
