Whether you're new to the game or not, doesn't matter. Ask me ANYTHING.

Note: I assume everyone asking is a new player, which is why I add spoilers. You can simply click them to reveal the text if you've played the game.

This game seems to find all kinds of ways to make you miserable and frustrated with the worst game design you've ever thought possible.

I just spent like half an hour trying to track down this 3 star deer and every single time I try and get a shot on it it just misses even though I'm pointed directly at its head. And then I run and run and run trying to chase it and having to press the two stick buttons to keep the tracking going, but then sometimes it just reverses my position and screws my sense of direction up, and after about three times doing this, I lose it.

Just a whole half hour of my life gone. In fact, FIVE hours of my life gone, because I deal with the same with anything I'm trying to hunt. Rabbits are the only thing I can consistently hunt perfect pelts of.

I hate this so much. I hate it because I feel like I HAVE to upgrade this painfully limited satchel. But I cant even get a damn SQUIRREL, because it requires the most perfect hitbox strike in the world or else it degrades the pelt. I've tracked like ten 3 star squirrels in this time trying to get one and every single time it either gets away or I shoot it and it's 1-2 stars(and yes I'm using small game arrows, though it's also ridiculous how specific your weapon needs to be).

It's absolutely infuriating. This crap is literally a waste of my goddamn life.

My horse have killed a lot of animals already in the short time i have played this game. I mean the random rabbits and small animals that runs across the road are understandable. The fishes when crossing water might be plausible. But just now my horse killed a flying bird, just ridiculous.

RDR2 should contain a horror warning, not because of the gore, the weird theories and uncanny npc's, but the GODDAMN BUCKS HITTING YOU FROM BEHIND! Man I have watched Arthur get jumped by nightfolk at 3 AM unphased but this animal just gave me a heart attack. 0/10 feature, still would recommend

There are some pieces of music from the game that I love. I did a deep dive the other day to listen to one of the (3?) multiple soundtrack albums available. I listened on Spotify and YouTube. I listened to the Willie Nelson track, D’Angelo, the Rhiannon Giddens and whoever else but it didn’t sound like anything I was looking for. I listened to the House Building EP and that’s not it. And of course I listened to the other tracks But I cannot find the tracks that I hear while riding along in the open world. None sounded like the cue music that plays.

Then I read that the game has an algorithm that changes the music by how you play (honorable on down) and I guess the speed by which you ride and your activities in the open world.
Has anybody had any luck finding the short music cues?
