    Confused! So thought I'd dedicate a couple of hours to it last night. Went through a character creation and tutorial which ended up with me then teaming up with other people online to steal horses? Is that an online version of the game? Given I'm not interested in that, should I even be doing that?

    Is that required before going into the solo game?

    no, the online aspect is totally separate from the main game. there should be an option in the main menu to switch between the story and the online mode.

    So the 4-5hr intro everyone has talking about has nothing to do with the 2hrs or so of the online game I've gone through so far? Grrr...

    No.

    Red Dead Online is a separate mode entirely. You need to get your butt onto the single play story mode. You'll find yourself playing as Arthur Morgan.

    Annoying, sure - but it's worth it.

    Not sure how you confused the two modes, mind.

    Just thinking about it ... ... are RDR2 and RDR Online available to purchase as separate entities? I'm starting to think I saw them being sold separately on the Xbox store a while back. Have you definitely bought the full game, or have you accidentally only bought the online version (which doesn't include the single player)?

    I think I went to start a new game and it took me into "Online" by default, and I should have taken a skip option... I was just wary of skipping part of the very tutorial I was suppose to be taking

    Hmmm ... that doesn't sound right at all.

    To be fair, when I started RDR2 the online component hadn't been released yet, so there was only the single player - but I'd check again, if I were you, to see whether you've accidentally bought the 'online only' version which doesn't include the single player.

    There's no 'skip' option for single player as far as I'm aware, and there's certainly no 'character creation' because you play as Arthur Morgan (you can customise him during the game - clothing, weapons, hair/beard).

    Right, good, you're on the right track again.

    You'll find yourself for a brief spell in a snow-bound abandoned town, but then IIRC after a handful of small missions there you and your gang all move down into the main map.

    There's a lot of controls and mechanics to learn (I think Rockstar made them too complex, to be honest), but you get into them eventually.

    It's certainly working my graphics card. Sitting at around 35-60fps on the default settings the game adopted.

    I was going to upgrade a while back to a 3070, but then CV19 hit, card supplies dried up and now they are super silly expensive being like 40-50% more now
