hold w on missions, and hold w + right-click (near target character) to lock on and follow
You're on the PC forums, my friend.
Uhm yea, and?
Anyone know if this is actually working? I try to do this and it seems to work for about 2-3 seconds then my horse just sorta drifts off and stops.
i'm having the same issue. I cannot tell if i ever knew how to do this.
The instructions are not in the controls menu, the help menu for the horse(don't even know where else to look for this info, and the information for everything is scattered all over the place) nor is there a context message when you're following someone again (why would they not do this? Aside from this, this game has a lot of shortcomings compared to what I read online from people. This game is pissing me off. A lot).
I haven't played GTA 5, but I'm pretty shocked that a game from Rockstar has this many issues with the controls and in-game information. Why are there a million different menus for information? Why does Arthur carry a journal that has SOME of the mission info in it, then there are 2 or 3 other menus with bits of information in it. I can't even remember where everything is, and I have a feeling I'm supposed to check these menus for critical information.
On the journal again, what's the point of this? Is this supposed to be immersive? Because I HAVE to access the start menu for a lot of information plus the in-game map. Also, I don't really want to read from a journal like that; this feels more like the devs getting high on their own supply here. Rather than make an option to read stuff in plain text, just have it convert the text on the pages from handwritten to computer text, if we must do the "IRL" journal thing.
Back to the controls, there are going to have to be context menus up all the time for which actions are available at a given time, with an option to turn them off PROPERLY displayed in the menus (the CONTROLS menu and NOWHERE ELSE). I'm trying to use a controller because of how many different controls there are, and I found with Doom Eternal that games nowadays have so many different things the player can do that there's no choice except using a controller, even though the game is begging me at times to use a keyboard and MOUSE. The issues with controls need to be worked on. I just re-entered gaming after 10-12 years of nearly no gaming at all, and this could be construed as user-hostile.
Tapping the shift button once while holding W while you're near the person you want to follow does the trick. Holding both the shift button and the W button also works, as your horse automatically adjusts speed when you're near the person you want to follow.
You can read any of the readable stuff (Journal entries, letters, leaflets, posters, everything) in plain text using the space bar (for the journal) and R for anything else, since the space bar is used to flip the pieces of readable paper. The option always shows up on the bottom right corner of the screen, with the word 'Read' before the button that is assigned to it. I don't know how you can miss that.
It tells you how to do it in the tut mission.
I know, but I wasn't using a controller at that point in time, and I can't easily go back to redo it. By the way, the game seems to still be in tutorial mode, and I've already set up camp with everyone, sold a horse gone on that irritating hunting mission, and I'm still getting game-critical information.
In that case, there really isn't a problem. The journal is a completely optional thing, as it doesn't provide any gameplay critical information, and only serves as an insight to Arthur's thoughts as he comes across things in-game. You can play through the story without opening it once, and it won't hinder your experience unless you're interested in Arthur's monologues.
It's basically how MGSV's casette tapes should have been, as they serve only as introspection for Arthur rather than tucking away the lore on something the players can miss.
