Just persevere through the opening snow section

I liked the snow section. I don't get the gripes with it. I want to be buried in atmosphere and story early on in a game and I think it did it well. Stick me straight into an open world with no direction or understanding of it like ER does and I'll lose interest very fast. I appreciated how RDR2 starts but that's not the consensus round here iirc.

Definitely too many enemies to shoot. Gunfights should be short, sharp, dangerous things. Fewer enemies that hit harder would have been better, I've said that about the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games too

For me the big change is the ssd drive. This is such a better experience on the series s than the one ever produced.

The controls aren't that bad now that I'm used to them but there's still the odd time were I pull a gun.

Overall loving it to bits. Yes, too many enemies (although I wouldn't necessarily want bullet sponges there either - just smarter) but I think I'll take everything else. The atmosphere is just wonderful.

I'm terms of enemies for me, I would have liked it if there were less of them and they were harder to hit. Your aim is less accurate over distance, and if you're coming under fire yourself, and if you're moving. But, enemies' will to fight drops the more they experience near misses, so if you are peppering them/their cover with shots eventually they will turn tail and run.

The controls are clunky in the sense of, there are a lot and a lot of context sensitive stuff, but it all works. Shooting is quick lock on and enemies going down fast for the most part. The lock-up-headshot is always satisfying. I definitely did some controller mishaps but I don't think it's anywhere as bad as the memes, which I enjoy.

i pressed B and rode my gun so confusing

First impressions of this are that it’s incredible.

Love reading about new folks playing this, regular updates pls, Noxy

Back in Saint Denis and just found out that . I found it strangely upsetting - one of the first times i can remember a game having an effect on my emotions the same way that a good TV series or film could.

Anyway, that was quickly followed up by a mission on a hot air balloon that was just superb fun and visually absolutely stunning. Almost caught a king fish too, bit it got away in the end.

This is utterly glorious. I love Rockstar’s approach to this; the pace, attention to detail, actually everything about it. And fuck it looks so good! Sometimes I can almost smell these locations, or feel the humidity in the air. What a treat

Another tip Code, don't fast travel, use the cinematic camera and kick back. If there's a particularly rousing bit of music on all the better.

Yeah this is one of the only games where I basically never used fast travel at all, was happy just trotting to destinations and seeing what happened on the way.

Glad you're enjoying it, Nox.

This is unreal. The wind, rain and sludge. Really glad I avoided most of the media when it was released. My only minor gripe is that I don’t seem able to load a wagon full of carcasses, but that’s hardly even worth mentioning.
