I ran into that woman too, I was on the road going somewhere far away from valentine and ran into her. Helped her out, then realised you can offer her a lift. I couldn’t leave her there, so I took her all the way back to valentine. When I got her back to the hotel, it was dark and raining and muddy. Rather than going…

So I’m trotting through Valentine, and a dog runs in front of my and I run it down. Super bummed, but then the Wanted sign popped up, so I ran to the Post Office to wait to see what happens.

A few tips of my own:

OMG it takes 3 seconds to loot a body. Man, people have NO PATIENCE anymore.

For me, it’s not that nothing annoying ever happens, it’s just that you get used to it, and minor annoyances become so rare that I can’t really distinguish between them and control input mistakes in other games with “tighter” movement mechanics. I can make those sorts of mistakes in literally any game, and it’s no…

Why would they patch something that’s working as intended? It’s not their fault that you are intent on resisting, rather than getting used to, the movement control. Most people aren’t hung up on it.

Might as well skip every other game that isn’t an iteration of something you’ve already played!

So glad you’ve been relieved of the burden of playing this game. Thanks for sharing this critical update with your fans.

Giving absolutely no spoilers, but I've been playing all day and the emotional connection and atmosphere is extraordinary. Literally the only issue with the game is that I can't imagine ever enjoying RDR1 as much after this. The world, man. It actually feels alive. I keep forgetting I'm playing a game.

Most people aren’t having that much trouble with these movement mechanics. It’s the people who think only in terms of resisting the mechanics, rather than getting used to them, who seem to experience problems.

...I’ll have to spend two minutes trying to properly line up with a dead body to loot it.

no idea if this would help in your situation but reddit has been throwing this suggestion out for help with sluggish controls, etc:

I would have to agree. I like it because Arthur really has that groundedness to him, which in turn makes the world feel more real...you can’t jump off a cliff without dying, crossing a river takes time, and moving around is best done at a walk mostly...like real life. It allows me to more fully inhabit the character…

I see what you’re saying, i guess, but I absolutely love both the movement system and the somewhat opaque systems at play. It feels good that not everything is completely knowable and that sometimes things happen that don’t particularly make sense. One of the witnesses that saw your gunfight coulda been all “Dictata…

But that would be the smart thing to do and nobody wants to do the smart thing.

I really hope those with a PS4 don’t have that annoying thing where, after it downloads and installs something it then goes and copies it somewhere.

Tech Experts say it wasn’t downgraded for performance issues. It was actually in fact, upgraded. The removal of puddles is apparently an artistic choice by the developer.

This is almost as good a ‘fuck you’ as Blizzard’s t-shirt response to whiny nerds crying about the lighting in Diablo 3 being too bright.

Not cool but I’m surprised anyone has Airdrop on for anything more than Contacts only.

I think the game Arboretum’s final tie-breaker is for all tied players to plant a tree, wait 20 years, with the one with the most impressive tree at the end being the winner.
