I've been trying for a few weeks, on and off, to kill the legendary buck. How are you supposed to do it? I can get in a few head shots between tracking it each time it runs off - but the trail always disappears. Am I supposed to sneak up and lasso it or something?

The original Deus Ex had a lot of nightclubs in it. It also had a lot of toilets. Probably the most toilets of any game.

Not sure if this was scripted: I approach a campfire. An angry old man jumps up. “What the hell are you doing here?” ”Just minding my own business.” ”Git the hell away from here!” With that, he jumps up with his gun, trips into the campfire, falls down screaming on fire, and his horse gets scared - tumbles down a hill and dies also.

I was hunting and there was some twat nearby shooting - one of the ones who challenge you to a shooting competition. But his gunshots were frightening the wildlife. So I lassoed him, he went berserk - speed-shooting at me even as he was falling and lying on the ground and then getting tied up. Never seen that before. He almost killed my horse. It was straight in the river for him.

Walking OUT of the gun shop as it was closing and getting stuck in the door angered the shopkeeper and, for some reason, a pedestrian outside the door - who started stabbing me. All it took was one punch in retaliation to get 5 or 6 lawmen on my trail. It's funny how situations build up from nothing.

Oh for fuck's sake! I eventually found one, tried the tracking R3/L3 thing, followed his trail for a while - it turned out I was tracking a squirrel. I want to smash the controller through the screen.

I think I'm going to give up on the hunting and crafting. I'm finding it more frustrating than fun; I've spent hours stalking whitetail buck unable to find any more than 2 stars.

How well would a hacked SNES mini emulate PS1 games compared to this?

It’s frustrating because it doesn’t feel like I’ve done anything wrong. How was I supposed to know that would end in my death rather than the gang kicking the KKK member to death? Similarly, when I encountered the KKK in the woods near camp. I angered them but as it was close to camp, it also counted as “leading enemies back to camp.”

I rode back into camp with a hogtied Klu Klux Klan member on the horse. Really bad idea. When I got near, there was a message saying you can’t bring prisoners into the camp. Arthur pushed him off the horse, automatically jumped off and cut him free “you owe me one”. This was all without any player input. This counted as drawing enemies to the camp and so was instant death.

Ok - so kicking small rodents to death doesn't get you a perfect pelt. I guess that makes sense: it would get all scuffed up and covered in horseshit.

I got a raccoon! It was a bastard to track. Shit, I've now seen some Klu Klux Klan twats. I feel obliged to take a potshot but just know I'm going to end up dead and lose the pelt.

Hunting is incredibly slow-going. I'm trying to craft better satchels (although I haven't crafted a single thing yet). I've managed 3 perfect deer pelts and... nothing else. I'm waiting round for hours trying to find animals in the locations they are supposed to appear. Should I be using bait or scent cover or something? I don't understand the tracking thing - I'm not finding any trails and it runs out really quickly. edit: Do pelts go bad like meat if you keep them stored on your horse?

With my V1, I've had the screen blanking issue a few times - but more common is a corrupted image (on the TV), which seems to also cause slowdown and juddere on the headset. Resetting both PS4 and the headset always fixes it.

Wasn’t there a bug with WipeOut, PSVR and PS4 Pro? Something about needing to have the right settings turned off (boost mode or upscaling)?
