I've noticed this as well. I sniped a 3 star Bison near Johns ranch, advanced time by a couple days by going to sleep, saved game and turned my console off. When I turned my console back on to play again I went to get another and the rotten carcass of the same Bison I had already killed was still there :wow:

Everything in this game is just creepy at night. I did the Miriam Easter egg where she just looks out the window and that was unnerving, she's not even a ghost but her being trapped in that house by her dad just made it creepy. I love how when you go to Tumbleweed you find out how it became a ghost town in RDR1.

Armadillo was the ghost town.

i never once liked john as a character... how you in a gang, doing gang shyt... they left you for dead or whatever... damn decade goes by... and now you working for the law, hunting down and killing them

not cause you wanted to... not cause you hated them.... but because the law got you shook up. From how I see it, if John went to them and asked to come back, they'd have let him. They wasn't thinking bout nor beefing with the nikka. Yet he's out here on a vendetta like they did him dirty

then i play rdr 2 and see he was a sucker nikka prior to all this too :camby:

I don't know if you finished the game yet, but the end of Chapter VI gives a good explanation as to why John would be motivated, plus the feds being down his neck.

As for the Epilogue, some may like and some won't.

There were a number of call backs to Arthur:

  • Finding the old gang and reminiscing
  • Locating Arthur's grave. If you finished with high honor, there are flowers at his site.
  • Speaking to strangers you met along the way.
  • When John proposes to Abigail he has Arthur's ring and the his picture with Mary. My heart sank seeing that.
A few years does pass too. Jack is now 12 years old and going through puberty. There's a significant jump between Chapter 6 and the Epilogue.

Just started playing this last week.

Visually, it’s one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen. That said...

Is this one of those games that get better the longer you stick with it? Cause right now... enh. This game can be obnoxiously self-indulgent. It forces you to indulge in it, whether you like the current objective or not.

That’s... an interesting way of creating a game in the ADD era of content consumption.

A couple of examples:
- Why are there no fast travel points to and from camp? In a game this big? If I don’t have time to go cinematic mode and gallop through 10 minutes of scenery, what am I supposed to do?
- For a game that emphasizes open adventure, it spends a lot of time putting you on rails. I just finished the mission where you rescue Jamie Linton. No matter what you say, he runs. He’s been gone long enough that someone had to come ask you to find him, devoted to a cult, but he’s still way faster than you on horseback (even though I bought a special edition and got gifted the Thoroughbred). And if you do catch up to him, dude gets a speed burst if you try to lasso him, because the game wants you to chase him to the train tracks. Why can’t I just rope him and drag his obnoxious ass home?
- Locked doors. You mean to tell me I can rob a moving train, dead shot 6 dudes in the head with one clip, I have a magic hat that respawns no matter how I lose it, and I can shoot a deer in the neck with an arrow from 150 yards away... but I can’t kick in a locked door? Or shoot and jump through any window?

The game is cool. I’m just tired of being forced to stare at it. And opening drawers. And being told to loot a field of bodies, then getting screamed at because it takes 5 minutes to loot all the bodies.

Hoping it picks up.
