I have it on PS4 since 1 year: please devs make night\day cycle longer.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

I wish I could enjoy RDR2 without thinking that the day will just go so fast I can't even think.
Why is it so fast? It ruins the entire experience. I play the game since 1 year and i am always around 30% of completion... and I just hate the fact that it goes so fast ... please reduce the speed.. !! It soooo annoying to have a so fast day.\ night cycle.

I am saying this for realism reasons: sometime is tay awake for 2 3 4 5 days without even going to sleep. It's so stupid ... I want a longer day night cycle, please!!

[V I D A L]

This is one of the main issue for me in every open world game... especially when I'm trying to role play.

I think Watch Dogs 2 was the worse offender, but this one could use a day cycle at least twice as long. Maybe they could add an option... otherwise we can hope for a mod.

It's really lame when I specifically keep a night time for a mission that would make sense to do at night... and in game it feels like it should be a 2 hours job (realistically speaking) but by the time the mission is finished, it's like 1pm in the next afternoon... It's like took over 10 hours to do a simple mission that should have been only 2 in game hours.

Nexus has a mod to make day and night longer. I may try it eventually.

It says Longer Days but it makes the nights longer too. It works for some, others it doesn't but maybe it'll work for us.

The problem is that I am on PS4 for this.. for everything almost i am on pc but for this game I am not.

Yes this is such a EXPERIENCE-cannibalizer.
I understand they tried to BALANCE the experience of players. The game is slow paced and if they did not put this the majority of the consumers (the masses) would have not liked it.

The problem is that this is a totally INCONSISTENT choice : the one they took.

I don't see any technical danger in making it longer, yes at least twice.

From what I know Mods are basically forbidden like for Ubisoft (that anyway bases it's game offer just making mods of an original game,, what a contradiction!) but yes, rockstars for the issues they had with hackers offenders with MTX introduced and exploited, I don't think will introduce it.

I really wish they added this thing via PS4 network download. I can't really enjoy the game with this time cycle.. and I have the game sitting there...

They kill the realism you are searching..I go hunting and after a few preys ... it gets the day after.. because I do not use HUD and helpers.. and because I take it seriously well...

How can they after so much time not solved this issue yet?

----

I understand it may sound stupid... I bought the game last year around february... or earlier, and now... now I ask for this? well yes.. because the more I play it the more I see there is something wrong. I often go sleep in plain dailight... we mostly all play it at night (IRL i mean) and when I go sleep and it's day it's a nonsense... but also having to spend 3- 7 days without sleeping.. just killing the immersion and the survival feeling.

Well I'm sorry this issue is so heavy on you but if you stay on PS4 I doubt they will hear you and never fix this issue.
As you can see on PC you can solve it with a mod to make a day last as long as you want and if you plan to play single player only you can mod the game all you want and have zero worries about player or rockstar taking any action against you.

Theres a mod for that on pc masterrace

[T-Murdah]

It's a shame that when the stormy, rainy weather comes pouring down, it will be over long before you reach a shelter or set up a camp with a tent. It serves almost no function other than the visuals and the cold/mid/warm temperatur types.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

Also for the numerous fix they seem to have to put in place, and also because I dnt think I have time to play it, I won't buy it again, now. Or maybe i should just sellt the one on ps4 and actually buy the one on pc?
However making the day long as much as one wants (night included) is a crucial point of the experience, whether one is role playing or not, it's important for the immersion.

Unfortuantely mods are not stable.
I expect them to make it vanilla\official. I won't put my money on a mod.
It would just be irrational\stupid.

Trust me mod are the best thing on PC since you or the community can actually mold the game any way you can.
When done right mods are actually better than vanilla and I don't think a mod like this will have any stability issue on the game, they even made so that the required script won't start Red Dead Online and force close it if you forget to delete it.
Since you crave immersion and single player just sell the PS4 copy, get RDR2 on PC, mod it (following the instructions) and you'll be happy to play the way you always wanted to.

I plan on playing multiplayer. I can get banned for single player mods?

No idea, just google it. Judging from what I've seen on GTA V years ago, I would say it's unlikely if you don't harass other players, because Rockstar cares more about the money they can earn from Online play than actually blocking cheats/cheaters.

Don't worry I play PC since 2.86 (earlier anybody here maybe was born) but I just got a console in the meanwhile since you get good quality Gate Kept exclusives there. I also got xbox once but then I am trying to sell it away for a few eurodollars..

However for a game lover PS is a must.

Yes don't worry I know how pc works. However mods are often a chore and often can create issues to the pc or game etc.

I just hope they add this option in the menu (nothing hard to do for them programmers) also for PStation network ...

Yes I agree, that's maybe the only way. I should have just waited until today and just played it on PC. However i never buy full price games.. also because I am not actually on a light backlog myself so I just wait because I naturally am playing games that were released time ago...

yes for me immersion is crucial, I don't want to have just a game in my hands.. I got so many so much time ago and so many other cultural experiences that basic experience for me isn't enough...

No.. i won't buy it again.. it's marked more than once. It's broken, it can break, I won't resort to artisan type of solution for a game I spend for to play itn a way that is not stable...

posts are very clear on its instability.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

I saw this indeed...I wrote anyway a message to Rockstars via their social club, to support team. Let's see what they answer me., of course they won't give me any EXCLUSIVE peek onto their development work. Maybe they will tell me they will support such thing for hardcorers.

I mean .. this defines how much people will play their game... it's a matter of beauty!

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

Just an update: I have actually asked them this: they told me that they need me to write in the feedback section of their web site... and if it's constructive and well seen by their developers might be welcomed and developed.

https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/feedback

Here.

So if you request this both that you are console or pc owner of the game it will help us have more fun instead of relying on unstable MODS that might work or not..
Thanks.

night/day longer? thats it? I expected much more for pc version

all we got is trash port with unreliable unnecessary launcher

How about hard difficulty,less ammo,less money,dead eye cooldown,tougher enemies,no autoheal?

This game is just a huge waste of potential.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

Oh, absolutely! I am talking of PS 4 to play the game at least as it is.. those things u are saying will come via Mods (unofficial) pretty surely... just give them time.

Surely, it's a huge amazing game and I agree it has a huge really huge potential. You can still do it by yourself:do not use the dead eye.. i do not. but it's hard if you don't in hunting challenges with mexicanos ;)
and generally for regeneration with potions .. well also that.. what's that? fantasy...

When enemy shoot they get you most of times, it should be a 2 3 shot deal (to be dead). Instead we are bullet sponges.

But this is about asking for PS4 a longer time cycle..

I understand I am asking for dream land. I should just play it ps4 as it is and then see if they do something in the next years or mods come in a year or 2 for pc.
I wanted to buy the pc version to play it online with a posse of friends...

Right now I am focusing on Ghost mode Wildlands Hardcore role played strategy story extreme difficulty and of course no hud. But it's so hard to find serious players that know how to play tactical and use mic etc.. just basic things. And open to create a stable team... some are really putting the effort, but it's hard to find more than 3 or more than 4...
