Classic

Howdy! I’m new to these parts. But you all seem to be a friendly bunch, so I figure I ought to stay a spell and get to know ya. Red Dead Redemption 2 looks like it’s going to be amazing. Feels like the release date is still an eternity away. I’m on Xbox 1. My gamer tag is: Grey Gato If anyone wants to ride out together when RDRO is released, just give me a holler. How does one rustle up a beer on these forums? -Grey Gato

I like your avatar and name 😊 I think we have another member with a similar name, Gato something. I am not very good at Spanish but I think that means cat. haha I hope you enjoy it here and really enjoy RDR2 when it comes out!

If it helps, I have the opposite feeling with these guys sometimes lol

Yeah if works out just like GTA V, I would be fine with it. I don't want to be forced to spend real money to enjoy a game or keep up with others.

MAY THE LORD OPEN

That was @BropolloCreed79, but I'm sure he could forward her over.

My girlfriend is a slow cooker

Me neither (not worried). I never thought the model for GTAVO was bad either as you could always still make money in game and acquire the same items. ....although the price for items is rather high. There are dozens of YT videos showing you how to make money fast in the game. Although once the tasks, missions, etc. which make you money are no longer fun to do, then that's when I typically stop playing. I never purchased a shark card in my life and never will. In either case, I think GTAV:O has proven to be one of the most successful online games in history regardless of whether folks disagree with their business model or not. Personally, I would be ok if RDR2 is similar as long as there are still a variety of fun activities I can do to make in-game money. It's when companies start moving to a pay to win model, loot box system, etc. when I take issue. ....and I believe R* when they said they are not interested in going down that road.

That's my favourite as well, this is a close second.

If you're interested in experiencing RDR, I would play it first if you can. Personally, I don't think I could handle going back to the old graphics, clunky mechanics, etc. after playing RDR2. ....just wouldn't be worth it to me. In fact, PS4 currently has a 7 day free trial for their PS Now. I have been playing RDR for the past 2 nights. ....although I am beginning to realize why some folks hate this service as it has proven to be pretty stuttery. I may just end up bringing my PS3 from upstairs and plugging it in next to my PS4 so I can play RDR from the disk.

As a newcomer to the series it may actually make sense for them to play the games backwards, so RDR2 first then play RDR1. The only problem being that it will feel like a major step backwards in terms of gameplay and graphics, but from a story perspective it would link up nicely, especially if, as has been speculated, we end RDR2 playing as John Marston. It is a unique opportunity that majority of us wouldn’t get to experience as we have played the original already.

One of my favourite Freddie Mercury anecdotes.

It's a sci-fi, but not hard sci-fi like spaceships etc, more of a thriller based in a scientific future. Ryan Rinsler is my pen name.

I imagine I will still be playing RDR2 regularly a week later when the 4th rolls around in the US. I’m looking forward to getting that extra hour in on RDR2 on the second weekend.

Beer. And a bottle opener. Any ideas on how much beer can be stored in our saddlebags?

My girl and I play games all the time and anytime we would openly chat in a public online lobby, people would think she was a little boy because of her voice and say things like "Come back when your balls drop" and all that. She never corrects them and jabs them right back. It is all in fun. I have no issue with female gamers so long as the thirsty virgin male gamers don't start pitching tents and make uneven matchups for the rest of us in a public setting. I have seen it happen a few times in GTA V as well as CoD games. It is 2018, girls can game too. Keep it in your pants sheesh! (Not you OP, the thirsty virgins lol)

My "baby brother" (who comes in at 6'6", 245 lbs) does that LARP stuff. He's broken his arm, chipped his elbow, and now has a rod and three pins in the pinky of his 'sword hand". All those injuries came from fighting with wooden swords wrapped in foam, swung by dudes and dudettes that don't want to spend time in the gym. To be fair, neither do I, but I drink to hide the pain.

I know. My next door neighbor went to one a couple months ago. I caught him and his family on their way out (wondered what the costumes were for). .....I just smiled and said "that's cool".

Damn guys, that's my dad....

Syphilis.

If I remember, @BelleStarr is a lady gamer. What do you think about this? Personally I think it's funny how kids put their bow tie on and try to act cool in front of a random gamer just because they are a girl. You're at level 99/100 on a shooter game kid, you're never gonna look cool.

This kind of stuff adds length to the game so I wouldn't complain too much about it. Now if it ends up being repetitive and you really don't gain much from it, then I would say yeah that would suck.

I prefer sex, money, and rock and roll myself. Did they get a parent of the year award for that? I wish that was a thing you could actually mail someone for doing something incredibly stupid with a kid.

Well they added testicle physics so we don't have to. Rockstar was thinking ahead on that one.

What about a light breeze have you thought about that

Nah, bro, it's all good. I plan on shooting for a fat Fabio hillbilly Kaitlyn Jenner in overalls vibe.
