there's a frog in my snake oil

More on the VR end of things here, but hey, it's a '2D' game too
The GTAV modder has done RDR2. And he's worked miracles again. Damn thing works...
Tried out the RDR2 mod. The guy seems to have worked his magic again. The whole damn giant story world is there, functional, and pretty darn pretty with it too even on the 'Medium' preset he provides. (It crashed on 'High' preset, go guess that's where I'll stay

)
The cut scenes are still a bit odd, but improved a lot on his initial GTA V attempts. The cuts between scenes are pretty sharp, which can be disorientating, but being able to look around each scene is pretty crazy in its own way (especially in the outdoor settings, with freezing brooks bubbling past and storm buffeted mountains behind you etc). Although I did notice a corpse breathing out steam, which I don't think was intended
There are various oddities in there, like when you're holding a lamp on horseback, it's basically attached to your view. Lamp face. And the golden snow flurries looked more like the overlay they are than 3D flurries.
But despite little understandable issues like that, it all works surprisingly well and robustly.
The headlook aiming is again a decent solution. (Although it may take me a while to be completely comfortable shooting things behind me on horseback

)
Could totally see playing the whole game through, if it holds my interest.
Look ma, I can see my feet!
