Oh shut up, im so sick of all this crying. R* the only company to not have a store open on launch day, we had 3 updates in 14 days. The biggest problem with rd2 is the player base, everone wants it easy, and complain when cheap exploits gets shut down. And no one hated on R* when they gave us all 250 and 20 gold.

I don't get the negative comments about R* here. I bought the game for the story. To my mind it is a masterpiece and worth every penny. RDO is an added bonus. R* have not tried to charge a fee to play, there is no Annual Pass required. So what if they offer the option to short cut the need to farm money to buy the best kit. In this game it doesn't make a heap of difference anyway. I shan't be purchasing gold bars anytime soon, but more than happy for R* to take the money. Also, they need to test the transactions work in Beta before full roll-out.

Well, it's not as if buying gold bars is a requirement to advance in the game, buy weapons, etc. The only thing locked behind this form of currency is essentially cosmetics. .....nearly everything else can be bought with in-game cash and in some cases gold as an alternative. Personally, I don't see the conflict and to be honest, some folks are going to complain about microtransactions regardless. Also, whether they are released right now or later, what's the difference? They are not required. People that find value in the items being offered at the time will buy them and those that don't, won't. Whether they implemented the store now or later has zero effect on my experience in the beta. Hell, I played GTAV:O for years without ever spending a dime on Shark Cards. .....I doubt RDO will be any different for me. Oh, and it appears we are getting more freebies from R* for participating in the beta:

Developing a game as big as Red Dead Redemption 2 is a daunting task, but Rockstar Games managed to do so and release a game that's relatively free of issues. Some glitches are still found here and there, but this isn't a particularly bad thing, as it has allowed some players to find some unused dialogue that may hint at future DLC. Before we proceed further, we have to warn you that there will be massive spoilers for both Red Dead Redemption 2 and the original Red Dead Redemption, so avoid reading further if you have yet to complete any of the two games. The post Red Dead Redemption 2 Unusued Dialogue Hints At Possible DLC appeared first on RDR2.org. Read the full story

So, this is the category I often fall into. I'm a working professional who puts in a lot of hours at work. I have kids and a wife who all have hobbies and commitments of their own that take time away from other things. While I have been an avid gamer for many years and have crushed many games with literally hundreds of hours grinding or campaigning to either advance or unlock new things, I simply do not have the time these days to make such a commitment to *any* game anymore. So for me, unless there is a micro-transaction option or some other means to mitigate some of that grind and commitment with any given game I generally avoid playing it. I do have friends in RDRO that have already far surpassed me in ranks simply because they have the time to grind them out. The micro-transactions provide me (theoretically) with at least the ability to "participate" with my friends even if only at a disadvantage for the lack of play time, ranks, and expertise. I do not support "Pay to Win" games but appreciate games that allow for a reasonable amount of "Pay to keep up" kind of model, for folks like me. Having said that, another great point that was brought up earlier is whether or not now is the time to invest real money into purchases for a game this early in development. For all the reasons discussed earlier, I am in agreement and do not plan to spend any real money on the game for some time, at least until I can reasonably know that the value of the investment is worth the cost.

People... Calm yer tits.. You don't actually have to buy any Gold, ya know.

Is it asking too much to play the game with friends? If I want to place someone on some train tracks and have some fun, there's no shortage of Lemyone, O'Driscoll, or Murfee boys to abscond away with for such a purpose. Hell, I drop them off train bridges for fun in single player all the time. But corpse stacking goes a lot quicker if there's someone to help. Like the old saying goes, "many hands make light work"

It does if the sheeple throw money at it, even in this beta state, with no regard as to when RDO goes "gold" or "live". Plenty of folks with no concern about tossing money at the game will have zero qualms about buying gold now, despite the lack of definitive, declarative statements about progress being maintained. Personally, they won't see a dime from me. The current game isn't a finished product, and as such, I am unable to make an informed decision as to how to spend my money, and whether or not I"ll choose to continue to play RDO. It's close, but not where it needs to be to hold my interest. Investing now by purchasing gold is a fool's errand, imo: without knowing how things will end up when the final product is rolled out, I can't be assured my investment will be worth the effort. If I buy gold now to dress my character in the most resplendent finery from the local haberdashery, only to find RDO to be a lawless frontier littered with flying locomotives, and bored trust fund babies outfit with the latest and greatest items, then I'll never feel the urge to play online just to be griefed/trolled into oblivion, no matter how well I rock those overalls.

Who would be penalized? GTAV:O has private session options and I suspect RDO will too. Some folks simply don't want to be exposed to the griefers that frequent public sessions / Free Roam. They just want more PvE / co-op options to enjoy with their friends. Those that like to troll will still have their free-for-all mode to harass people in.

I have several DLC for that title, including: Codependent Alcoholism Sarcasm Gourmet Baker Competitive Drive

R* really has some balls putting up the store before getting out of beta..

Alcohol. After I've had a few drinks I no longer care whether someone trolls me or not.

Rushing through a game and skipping half the content is really nothing to brag about. Your friend is completely missing the point of RDR2 if he things completing it in 48 hours is an achievement. I am on my second playthrough and I am doing EVERYTHING, taking my time with it. And only now do I understand what took Rockstar 8 years to craft. Possibly the best game I have ever played.

That glitch is interesting. It would seem they are indeed planning something there. I am hoping for it. Like I would love for them to add on to the single player with new stories every 3 or so months.

The same pros / cons invite-only sessions provide in GTAO. It allows friends to interact in the GTA game world without "randoms". To still participate in some activities, explore, etc. without the threat of being trolled. I see no cons personally except for the fact that (in GTAO for example) you can;t operate CEO or VP operations within one of these sessions. R* wants players to be under the constant threat of other players in public sessions when making money. Unfortunately, the only lucrative activities can only be performed in public. ....downside for those looking to make a buck but an upside for griefers. On the other hand, this keeps things "fair" as people can't make money in closed sessions and then dominate in public ones. ......but then they can always just buy their way through the game with Shark Cards. Personally, I don't like the idea of a forced blend of PvP and PvE gameplay. It attracts griefers and is rarely fun for those that want just PvE fun. Having said that, I understood it to an extent in the GTA universe but not so much (in its current format) in RDR. In RDO I believe there should be consequences, incentives, etc. to discourage trolling. ......vs. a griefer's paradise like GTAO is.

All underlined prices have been verified by me. I just hope it makes sense to everyone, I've added an asterisk next to animal size if it can be drug with the lasso. Any other Hunters, Huntresses or Anglers want to "ADD" me you are welcome to. I'm on PS4 same name. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/183ZjUE6ipmNJ3ThCorpE5NNynsnZL4Enp_ksAbJaPUw/edit?usp=sharing

I dunno..... Why do you whine about it you little ******!!!!! Go play the campaign if you can't handle it!!!! It's a PvP game, what did you expect!!!! I do it because it's fun!!!!! .....blah, blah, blah. (Just playing the devil's advocate. I hate griefers too and figured these would be their typical responses. )

I love how the vendors come back with bandages this was after

If they did reset, I'm sure that any gold purchased in Beta would be transferred; but you make a good point.

I can see why gold bars (or equivalent) would be useful in GTA V. If you come in late, then its very much an unfare playing field in terms of having decent weaponry, so its probably worth spending some $ to get a leg up. Plus, there's the matter of time. I am considerably older than most, and don't often have hundreds of hours spare, but can afford the cost of Bars, so I can see the benefit. However, in RDO there is very little difference in weapon performance; A varmint rifle can one-shot you. And I can't see many people spending £80 to buy fancy clothes and do up their camp (which always spawns on the other side of the map!). RDO is a freebie, R* are obviously looking to make cash and will obviously do what they can to encourage us to spend money. If you want to grind/grind. If you want to chuck money at it, do so. I can only see it being a problem if they start to introduce more deadly (but expensive) weapons that give a real advantage, but until then it makes no odds. As with most things; if its not for you don't do it. Certainly not worth getting all lemon about it.

The ONLY way I see you can "increase" your performance by setting your TV would be if you turn on the True Motion. That said, I wonder how anyone who plays with such garbage TV feature could complain about image quality.

......and possibly a sign that progress on this beta may continue to progress faster than some anticipated (e.g. more items and activities to be added soon). It doesn't benefit R* to implement an MTX system and then dally about.

Oooh please. This has nothing to do with crying or wanting things easy. This game doesn't have private or invite only lobbies. Doesn't have Free Aim lobbies .. All which is TOP PRIORITY. Yet.. R* adds its shop to sell gold bars.. (24 hours after nerfing gold payouts in missions)

The simple solution to fix trolling/griefing is private/invite only lobbies and free aim lobbies. And remove the always on blips. Its not really more complicated then that. I don't want to see R* add all these hurdles and punishments to the game that can be used against players who enjoy defending themselves and fighting back against griefers/trolls.

I've noticed this too. I checked last night, had a friend off me about 10 times in a few different ways/distances from my horse ( melee, gun, dragged to death, etc...). Looks like they fixed it, all my pelts stayed.

The list is being updated constantly, I was thinking about adding fish.

Well I get it when someone kills you at the butcher and tries to steal your pelts. Or when your doing a stranger misson and they try to steal your cart. But people who shoot someone just randomly without gaining anything or without reason is just retarded.

Sounds like a bit of a bawbag, man. I hate when people target my horse. I love my horse. Not in a weird way, mind..

Ok I figured it out. If you're as clueless about gaming consoles as I am here's the solution: My Xbox One X is NOT on power saving mode so the system never really turns off. I guess turning off the system in this mode actually puts it in a kind of sleep mode (?) <- My best guess. You have to hard restart the system by holding down the power button on the console for about 5 seconds or until it turns off completely and the system will fully shut off and the frame rate goes back to normal upon restart. I guess the update triggered lag or something. Hopefully this helps anyone else in my position.

Most likely kills kittens in real life.

Yeah some of the sights are not used correctly in the game such as resting the front sight completely ontop of the rear sight (standard cattleman sights) you would only need to have a sight picture like that if shooting looooog range IRL, that's the way Elmer Keith rolled. There's a few rifle sights that line up weird too,Spencer carbine for example. All of which I can deal with BUT... I get not having the sights oriented the way they would be IRL to allow for an easier sight picture. You're right the game is definitely geared towards third person , though I enjoy the hell out of FP, and it's much smoother than GTA 5 FP was. I mainly play FP, aim FP with sights bit I do use third person on horseback and when behind cover . However my point is they could at least make the sights on the Granger/ flaco centered and even . I mean they are crooked AF! LOL.

Mines the same after the most recent update. Everything was fine, now I have low FPS and audio issues.

I'm guessing most people don't know these forums exist, and it's the most recent update that's caused the problem. General rule, for every person that posts a complaint there are thousands experiencing the problem that don't post (which would be me if there were answers up already). Thanks for the response anyway

I need that shirt. Maybe my family will stop telling me to get a life then. lol Is that your puppo in your avatar? He/she is cute. You mentioned having a wife but no kids? That is the dream for a gamer LOL

I just had some homemade chili from my bro's. He actually puts bacon in his chili which a lot of people don't do and they need to do. I enjoy bacon when it is part of something but not by itself.

I think first person controls and views was an afterthought and not really designed properly for the game. I play it in third person and I do believe that is how it is intended. But I do feel that they should not have allowed us to play with first person controls if they cannot even line up a gun sight properly. Sorry for my English, I know my grammar is lacking.

So they do have something for the LBGTQXYZWTF people then

Trolls don't have to be trolls, they choose to be. That is why I don't completely blame Rockstar.

I doubt it is the same people that make the 3d models as those who fix glitches. It does not matter to you, but what is wrong with caring how others feel? If there was something other people were worried about that I did not care about i would not be against rockstar fixing them. For example, a lot of people are getting lipstick on their male characters when entering the barber chair. Also, beards have been vanishing from male characters. And since visiting the barber gives them makeup that can not be removed they can not put the beard back on. I don't have a male character, so it is not affecting me. That does not mean I am going to tell them not to complain so rockstar will fix the things I am concerned about instead. Rockstar will fix the bugs and glitches, no doubt, but the things I that I am worried about may never be fixed. Especially with people like you saying its fine.

That's in October... I talked it over with my buddy and came up with THE BEST plan. I'll make it a day after Christmas present! That way he gets to "win" Christmas, my nephew still gets the upgrade, and I piss off my brother more than I ever could've dreamed!

You are welcome to join "de Ruyter gang" we're growing fast.. add me on psn: YoMomsLovah

I shaved her head so you could see the eyebrows. I send this in as a bug report to rockstar. This is a bug, in creation I chose an eyebrow, and after the first cut scene it put another eyebrow in black on her face. So she has one that is black and one that is brown. its hard to tell in the lighting. No one in real life has two seperate eyebrows give me a break. I never said my character was hideous. i made this post on day one before I did any editing. There are only 3 okay looking presets for the females. The rest of them just look like a joke. And trust me it took me 3 days to get her to look decent. the preset is ugly without editing. She still is not anywhere near the female NPC's in the game, which I find unfair. And sense there are only a few decent presets every female looks the same (most are preset 11). I am not sure why they bothered making 11 presets when only a few are usable.

Hunting is my favorite things to do. I don't want the never ending nerf than buffing to mess up how the weapons work against animals. The Varmint rifle is used for small game and birds. If they reduce the range, how will I kill birds flying in the sky without damaging the carcass? The PVP is a joke in this game anyway. I would rather have PVE lobbies and leave the guns alone.

I am sick of people saying back them people were ugly. First of all, no they were not all ugly. And PLENTY of women today are beautiful without makeup, or plastic surgery. With the economy the way it is it is not like everyone can even afford a nose job. Secondly, why are so many of the women NPC's in the singe player beautiful then? Abigail, Charlotte, Sadie, Tilly, Penelope, Bonnie, Mary-Beth, Karen, and Mary to name a few. There is a really beautiful NPC in the Online story mission "Love and Honor" named Alison. And the men too. Almost all the males in the Van Der Linde gang are attractive as well. Even a some of the other NPC's are good looking that are not in the gang. Acting like you only see the back of your character is absurd. Your character is in cut scenes for goodness sake. Also, I like using photo mode to take pictures of my character. Why even let us customize our own characters if it did not matter how they look?

KILL THEM BACK!

Posse up to have others watch your back while you do the same for them. My posse and I have been in multiple gang war shootouts in the middle of town with other posses being assholes. We won't back down!

Doesnt the freeze symbol on your health core signify that you are losing health to exposure like in solo story?

As far as I know, nothing. I spend enough time wearing light clothing in the cold and haven't noticed anything negative. Maybe they hadn't added anything in for this.
