I've been playing all afternoon on my old 1080p set in SDR and it looks gorgeous. Last night I was playing on 4K HDR and constantly swapping back and forth while fiddling with the HDR calibration, never getting it to look right. Nights are too bright, shadows are washed out, dark crush is still the same just more greyish. It doesn't seem to be HDR at all, just the brightness stretched for an overall brighter picture.
I'll be playing on the 4K set again tonight and leave HDR off. It's just a shame that restricts it to 8 bit color. Compared to GT Sport, SotC, God of War, Spiderman, this is not what HDR is supposed to be like.
Regarding the survival elements, I have been ignoring them. It seems to only result in more nagging, the lower health and stamina regeneration don't really matter so far. Turn the hud off to get rid of the red flashing icons, problem solved.
I prefer the hunting and crafting system from HZD. That felt like you were working for a worthy upgrade to actual game play. Plus the different tasks and vastly different machines to hunt kept it interesting. In RDR2 you get an overwhelming list of possibilities and samey animals to kill for stuff that doesn't really matter. At least that's how it feels like so far. Far cry 4 did it right for hunting animals. RDR2 takes it too far. 200 species to track, kill, skin, put on horse, ride back to camp or trapper, gather different components from each. It's a completionist's nightmare!
I'm kinda having an identity crisis in this game lol. What am I, outlaw, do-gooder, problem solver, negotiator, game hunter, bounty hunter, drunken idiot, homesteader. One moment I'm helping someone out, the next beating up a defenseless sick man for some loan or tying up a crazy women to drag to jail. Then I capture a witness to a crime I supposedly committed, no clue what to do with him so I drop him off a remote cliff then shoot him in the head as he didn't die from the fall. No bounty on my head.
