What the hell!? I wonder if there is a bug then because mine has never come back.
I have the opposite problem. My partner loved it so much she's booted me off it!
How do you see the amount of hours you've played? I'm sure it's been asked a million times before, so, sorry for asking again. ^^
Take it to the trapper, sell him it then you can use the skin to craft outfits etc
lol...It does feel like that.
Lots of things could have been better designed but not done just because developers were high on making epic movie first than a game with better user experience.
Few examples:
- Not allowing running as default action. I can live with developers wanting to play games as they envision but don't force it. You have already implemented running/sprint in the game, just let people do what they want. Make this kind of thing optional/configurable.
- Cinematic camera for traveling: Why implement this feature and force people to keep mashing or holding button? You added "cinematic" camera, automatic path finding, and just for shit and giggles, didn't implement one last thing. Assassin's Creed does this best.
- Reading journal: since most people can't read as it, you would end up press button to read in clear text. Now instead of allowing you to flip page in the same view, you are forced to click button to back out, click one more time to flip the page, click one more time to read it and so on..
Oh well...on to chapter 2
Main campaign excluding epilogue took me close to 40 hours.
Sometimes I don't get the game... picking up a gun is on L1, doing specific actions requires you to press R1, picking up objects is on square, pulling someone up is on x, and inspecting a thing is on triangle. Okay, these are controls. But then I was just doing a mission where I killed members of this other gang in their hideout. Shortly afterwards the law was on me because I still stuck around (thanks to controls, I mean, everything takes just a really long time). I killed them all, survived barely. My horse didn't make it. I just saw alfuckingready six other law-men, with fucking dogs, approaching on the mini map (why were the first bunch after me in the first place? I killed bastards as bad as worse as myself), but I didn't want to leave my horse like that. Damn, If had knewn how long does is take to kill the horse with square "kill", I would have shot him straight in the head. Of course the dogs catched me – dead eye, dead empty. No Max Payne 3 precision controls, no chance in hitting them. Without dead eye, I feel almost useless when not in cover. Dog bit my arm, I got loose and kept running, but I only survived some five more meters until the final and lethal bullet me, making me fall and die with one of the most amazing animation.
This is by the way second time I died outside of a mission's "parameter" because something didn't work how I supposed it would. The other time, I wanted to jump from the train on my horse. In the moment I pressed the interaction button, my horse hesitatet, the context-sensitive button vanished, I jumped from the train, landed badly, and felt right into the train on the tracks. Dead.
Boy, the mission-shootouts are easy as fuck; just stay in cover and with the snap-to-aim feature it's easy to shoot them all. But as soon you don't have any cover and no dead eye, controls are giving a really hard time to surive.
Apart from that I really enjoy everything else the game offers.

Appreciate the long answer. I'll try skinning more.
Not yet, I'm plannning on that one next. I'll see if it changes.
Have unlocked the ledger yet but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.
There's an Amazon like store where you can purchase items and unlock them the next time you boot up the game.

The side quest here are overall better than the Witcher 3's, nothing has surpassed The Bloody Baron yet, but they are consistently entertaining and unpredictable in a way I've never seen in an open world.
I keep accidentally shooting my gun when I'm trying to ride a horse. R2 feels like it should be a default "go" button
It's crazy how much I look forward to the gunplay after thinking it was pretty weak a few hours in.
They drip feed you the big shootouts but when they come I LOVE them. Not sure what it is, the noises, the feeling, or the fact that I feel like the AI responds to the way I play. Whether it's sitting in the back with a rifle, or running up to dudes with a shotgun. Also, tacking a dude + execute is good shit.
What a game.

Gotta find a compromise friend. What works for us is that my wife doesn't care what I play on the TV if she's watching Netflix on our computer.
Damn i was in the woods doing a mission killing a rival gang and looting their bodies and i get wanted?? Lol no one was around,saw the law men looking for me.
Most bizarre thing happened. Riding along to a waypoint. A bunch of dudes come out to kill me.
I kill them, then the screen fades to black, the sky loading animation pops up, and arthur is back at camp next to the fire.
Nothing was said. No indication wtf just happened.
I'm guessing that was a bug, lol.

Side quests are the best. I'm 40 hours in and still in chapter 3 lol!
I don't know if they're even called side quests. I found an escaped prisoner and helped him by shooting his shackles. Told me about a house I with a hidden stash I could rob (nothing marked on the map. Just gave me directions). Went there found a man with his son. Killed the man and threatened his son to tell me where the money was. Got the money and ran away. Few hours later, the son found me in a town and wanted to kill me.
It does, go to cinematic mode (hold the big camera button) whilst you're on a road, viola, auto ride (no hands required) all the way to your checkpoint/waypoint set.
Now, it's worth keeping an eye on though, as strangers and situations pop up normally so you dont wanna totally miss out on stuff whilst making a cup of tea between checkpoints...when I found this out, pure gamechanger.
So this random white trash couple invited me in for a meal. I don't know about this one guys. I'm currently sitting down watching them talk.. something ain't right with these folks.
Happened to me as well, just a few minutes ago:
You talking about the O'driscoll cabin mission? If so, there were civilians there at that camp who escape.
You can put the camera in cinematic mode and just hold A on Xbox and follow the road.
Ah yea that was it didnt know there was civilians there lol.
I wish this was a joke, but it's not. The same criticism happens of every R* game, and I find it unwarranted every time. And in this case, I just don't know how else people expect a 200 pound man to move. Maybe you're actually right, and this time they have gone way overboard with it, crossing the line, though I remain doubtful.
Regardless, I'm about to start the game, and I'll come back with impressions later.
I'm fucking weird about the hat. It makes me upset when some asshole knocks it off and my dumbass looks around on the ground to find the damn thing.
The joke was that someone who hasn't played the game is telling others who have played the game off for criticizing an aspect of the game.
I just did and it looks way better. So much more vibrant. Wtf.
Is there a chance they'll fix this?
It's insane how little problems I have with the controls in general for this game. Like I have no problem with any of it, except tapping X to sprint for Roach.
Like I got into a firefight yesterday with free aim and no aim assist against 4 or 5 guys and I had no problem taking them out. The slow pace of the gunfights and slower movement make this game pretty easy to take out enemies.
Remember everyone, TURN DOWN DEADZONE and UP AIM ACCELERATION. I had to fuck with it a little to make it feel better but once I did, mo problems.

Turn off HDR on any console you own, this game does not have good HDR.
Are y'all theme-naming your horse/horses? What did y'all name yours? I named mine Halloween and I'm doing holiday themed names
So I just helped this fucking idiot Micah
Even though I wore the damn mask I'm still now wanted dead or alive. The bounty is $300. That's like all my money. Should I just get myself killed to have it cleared? What are my options here?
and we slaughtered a whole damn town...

Someone called dibs on Bojack earlier in the thread so I called mine Horseman. It's not very imaginative, but at least it's better than Roach, pffffff
Deal with it, pay it off, surrender. Dealing with it isn't that hard actually - I've had a bounty on my head for the majority of the game and I've only seen two groups of bountyhunters, lawmen have yet to attack me due to it (you do have to actually avoid them, though). Surrendering seems like a fine option if you have no money at all.
Paying it off is the easiest course, but you won't have that kinda money very easily in a while. Later chapter 2 and 3 missions throw money at you, though, so sooner or later you'll have more than enough to pay them off.
