Usually carrying the Lancaster repeater on the horse. Customized up with Express velocity bullets.

Granger revolver with express velocity on the hip. Have a solid amount of revolvers and a pistol.

Have a double barrel and short shotgun...but never use it.

I love the shotguns. Getting in real close and then mowing someone down with one shot. Just like Halo.

I haven't unlocked any cool guns yet, though, just upgraded my own.

If you do the mission with the photographer in valentine on the side saloon...finding the ex gunfighters will open up for better handguns. That’s a cool side mission too.

I don’t like to get too close...keeping distance with the Lancaster repeater with dead eye, especially dealing with various outlaw gangs, attempted mugging or police...that’s my jam

I recently made it to chapter 3, stopped doing missions, and started collecting stuff/hunting legendary animals/etc. I'm 24% done the story and 42% completion.

I got the White Arabian and named her Esmeralda, I keep my War Horse, Mr Joshua, in the stable with my American Standardbred, Captain Howdy. I'm always on the look out for a Missouri Fox Trotter.

This is the first game in a decade where I feel like I don't want to finish it because it is so good and so much fun.

[MTK]

I'm definitely taking my time too

Is RD2 a game I can jump in and play for maybe 30 minutes to an hour a couple of days a week or do you need to invest a lot of time?

Seems interesting but I typically have only played sports or FPS games since I can jump in and play a few rounds then turn it off.

Sure, it's an open world game so you can definitely set your own pace as far as doing main missions or side stuff.

How are you coming along Matty?

I'm just over 50% total completion and somewhere around 30% story.

Dynamite arrows are my favorite thing!

I'm trying to complete all the challenges right now, have you done the 80 ft tomahawk throw? I'm having a tough time there.

I just started chapter 4.

[los panda]

I'm a little behind you.

My current challenge is giving me trouble: disarm 3 enemies with reloading or switching. Have you completed that one?

I don't remember that, which mission was that one

[los panda]

It's one of the side challenges, I finally got it.

The next one in the (I think sharpshooter) series is to shoot the hat off of 3 people in the same dead eye. I only tried it once but I shot all 3 in the head as opposed to just the hat, oops.

Ace Combat 7 coming out tomorrow. I'm pretty sure someone gifted me the pre-order for Christmas so I should receive it tomorrow.

I'm still working my way thru RDR2, took a bunch of time off with the holidays and visits and started a new job.

Spoiler alert: RDR2 spoiler in white text below, highlight to read.

I just found out that Arthur has Tuberculosis.

What’s people playing on ps4?

[MTK]

Just started Far Cry New Dawn.

Still finding it hard to break away from RDR2 for long though. Thinking of starting up a new game and playing it over.

[jamf]

I have a hard time getting hooked on RDR2.
I'm not more than an hour into the game and I've had it for over a month.

What game mode do you recommend?
