the atmospherics in RDR2 really are bonkers. after a long time away (a year, easy), i was dicking around in the rdr online with a friend a week ago. kind of re-learning how to do basic shit, exploring/remembering places, bow hunting, hand to hand fighting, roping/dragging npcs, etc in a few different areas. neither of us have upgraded our systems since before it came out and neither of us can even run it at max/ultra video settings either.

it still looks absolutely crazy in 4k at like medium/high settings.

they kinda eff'd us, imo, by not including the gta5 director mode thing for recording sequences in game for later render. i didn't really get into playing with that until a few years ago. the amount of high effort stupid videos i would make with rdr online would be mind boggling.
