Can we talk about the clouds in this game?!



Unrivaled. So good, and the level of post processing and light/shadow rendering is mind boggling on this scale.

My only complaint is that they look a little lower res/grainier than I would like at times and that some clouds in the distance have choppy movement but otherwise they are amazing. I still haven't been in a thunderstorm which bothers me lol I've had rain but no thunderstorms

I just had a thunderstorm two days in a row... looks crazy as hell, I thought a tornado was about to kick in or something.

Damn it!! I love the thunderstorms in GTAV and even the original RDR and I've been waiting for one with this game but haven't gotten it yet. I hope they have weather cheats like they did for their old games, if it comes to that I'll use one lol.

I'm pretty sure I took these shots just before each one. Very cool stuff.

My only complaint is the sound isn't as awesome as it could be with headphones, oddly enough f***ing PUBG does storm sounds better than anything else I've played (actually Sea of Thieves is a really close second).

Yeah, that slight dithering/low res effect is the only fault, but it really is leagues better than anything out there- Zero Dawn being the next in line.

I wish I had internet at my house right now- I've got a number of great cloud shots.

Are those Pro screen shots? Doesn't look as detailed as what I'm used to seeing on the X... or maybe compressed?

Probably imgur funking up pictures, it changes them from lossless pngs to jpg and then does some other funky stuff.
 
Doesn't rain enough is an odd complaint but it's one I have. Loves great
 
I rarely use the cinematic camera option but I'm glad I did here, it's a small thing but funny (at least to me lol)

He gets knocked down, but he gets up again!

Upcoming ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ Expansion Allows Players To Experience Story From Horse’s Perspective
NEW YORK—Promising gamers the most authentic equine experience in gaming history, Rockstar Games announced Wednesday that the first downloadable content update to their record-setting open-world Western game Red Dead Redemption 2 will have players reliving the game’s story from the perspective of their favorite horse. “This new mode adds tons of depth to your tamed-ungulate experience with over 100 hours of additional herd-animal content in the lush and vibrant setting of Red Dead Redemption,” said lead designer Christian Cantamessa, who revealed that players can now control their horse directly while walking around painstakingly detailed stables, whinnying at random, or grazing for hours outside the camp of protagonist Arthur Morgan.​
“Player-horses will eventually be given a huge variety of apples, beets, hay, and oatcakes to boost their horse, and they will witness a cinematic story as seen through the eyes of a horse being lead around or ridden by its owner. We’ve even expanded the honor system so you can become either a ‘good boah’ by obediently following a trail or a ‘bad boah’ by bucking off your rider, though of course you never really get to choose where you go.” The as-yet untitled expansion will also contain a complete graphic makeover to accurately simulate the 350-degree field of a horse’s dichromatic blue/green-and-white vision.​

It's really more "Guu'Boeh", or " G'Boah" than "good boah"... This is how I know this is a fake story....
 
I would love some single player expansion stories for this game, I know Rockstar ignored that with GTAV but a story focusing on Charles would be great IMO, especially if it takes place before he joined the gang.

I agree. I want to know more about him. He's one of my favorite characters.

Could be such an interesting story, a half Native American half African American in that time, what their life could have been like etc.
 
The characters are great. Id like to end reverend Swansons existence though, he annoys me.
Him and Micha...

... speaking of a******s, I ran across a Klan rally in the middle of the night. Decided to toss a couple sticks of dynamite in the middle of 'em, lol. Pump action for the rest. No moral penalty either!

I later saw 3 of them setting up a cross when it slipped and crushed 2 of them. Shotgunned the last guy. Pretty satisfying dark fantasy fullfillment there XD

I have a video of me throwing a stick of dynamite into that rally too lol, I was pissed when my Xbox didn't record the second event you spoke of. I watched the cross fall on them, beat up the other guy and then shot the lantern setting the cross on fire burning the bodies underneath.

Micha doesn't bother me that much but Strauss does.

It's more amusing watching what they do to themselves when they're in the circle. I also saw the cross drop on those 2 goons outside the camp in chapter 3. I'm not sure if they continue popping up throughout the game or if there's only 2 times of seeing them.
 
I like how you made no effort to help the guy out. 😆

That guy was bossy so I was on the bear's side!....well until he came after me which the video doesn't show, then I had to put him down unfortunately lol.
