gathering memories too
Red Dead Redemption 2
not gunna lie, I love this game but permanently losing your horse from ambushes feels like contempt for the player
it's a gross / incoherent mechanic, esp later in the game where ambushes are huge, unavoidable and sometimes nearly impossible to defeat
i've lost the 1000 arabian horse twice now, both times from ambushes with like 15 guys that surrounded was dead in less than 5 seconds

Best strategy is to ride like hell upon ambush then turn heel and dead eye that shit.
I'm still at 28% of the story, so I haven't encountered many ambushes, but I just do what Armand does.
Plus can't you revive yer horse?

Cil, my horse doesn't die. I do. RDR2 has this weird mechanic where if you die from an ambush you don't respawn with your horse.
Instead, very very weirdly, you default to a "clone" of your Tennessee Walker with the stats it had at the start of the game. That's what I mean by "contempt for the player."
I didn't even know this mechanic existed until a couple days ago, then it just happened again in more or less the same place. There's a "new" ambush where you get surrounded in swampland and by the time I turn around I'm dead cuz they surround you.
love this game to pieces but not gunna lie this pissed me off lol

Finally purchased this. Holy frozen horse balls Batman. I’m only to where you capture that o Driscoll guy and bring him back to camp, but damn I can tell this game is already a masterpiece

I mean... I haven't... Like, ambushes usually means 3-4 enemies max, how can that kill you, literally never been in an ambush with 15 guys
Ive read this anyway https://www.rdr2.org/news/red-dead-rede ... appearing/ but Ive also never gotten or looked for any elite horsebreeds
Also btw wanted to tell you and others therell be plenty of reason to keep playing and doing side stuff after the story, i basically almost left all of that for afterwards and the game kind of wants you to
