I wouldn't mind being able to play as Micah. There are plenty of bridges to throw myself off of! I'd probably be more creative about it though (insert video of @BropolloCreed79 being kicked off a bridge by his horse)

Makes sense. Given the creepy/weird/supernatural elements that are already in the game as side quests and/or Easter Eggs, I fully expect them to incorporate some element of that into DLC, although maybe not until later on, to coincide with Halloween later this year. Releasing "Undead" content or a variation of that in February or March hardly seems appropriate. First of all, I'm stealing this idea and creating a "Micah" for online play. It'd be worth sitting through the cinematic again. Second, anyone can go out with a bang like that, but a true "Micah" player would be the ultimate troll: betraying everyone in his groups during online play, driving stagecoaches of NPC's directly into a game of "Chicken" with a locomotive, or even just shooting eveyone's horses out from under them for hours on end...

What an entertaining thread this turned out to be, been real busy lately so I haven't been on the forum much so I feel a bit late to the party but it's been hilarious to read through the comments nonetheless. Poor moron trying and failing to promote his mediocre content gets salty when others critic his stupidity and lack of skill, I love it.

Like me. I hit 84 today

You just haven't got the right recipes yet...

Ron America became the behemoth it is today because substantively of the two world wars.... Wars which it stepped into at the most opportune moment for itself and it's currency. Whilst I see nothing wrong with that per se, that is the reality... It worked the wars to build the replacement for the tangible European empires it denounced at Versailles in 1919 and created a hegemonic fiscal power base, an intangible empire if you will.... That has not lasted.... Because capitalism turns and the USA along with the UK are now majorly 5th world countries, post industrial and wandering a wasteland of economic misery ..... Both were built on vast export power and control of other countries trade... But that has all withered and now they are left with the patriotic sentiment of power, but not the actual export/fiscal power. It is difficult to explain this highly complex subject, simply ..... For an economy to grow in a capitalist model, one must have immigration of poor people ... They in fact do not take jobs, they create work by their presence... They are willing to work longer and harder for less money than 'a local' because in their view, the money has more value. This creates new work....... It is somewhat strange that America, entirely built on immigration now wants a wall... well, the lower classes and less educated of course. There are many parallels to be drawn between the conditions both social and political of the US and the UK presently with European conditions of the 1920's ... The masses are swallowing the exact same propaganda for the self same reasons..... Economic demise, poverty and mostly fear of the unknown. Whilst businessmen say "Leave me alone so I may prosper' .... The working class/blue collar say "I must be given work" ... When there is no work to be had they look for someone or something to blame ... Immigrants are a very simple target but not the issue in any manner. But people like Trump and the Brexit mob, they pounce on this ignorance and they preach FEAR - GREED - HATE, just like the Fascists or National Socialists or Ultra Nationalists or indeed, Communists .... "Your life is awful because of those people... they are taking what is yours and laughing at you...." Then the masses work out the hate part on their own ... Now the clever part, because they fill in the hate, all of a sudden they think it was all their idea ... as Dr P Joseph Goebbels correctly identified "Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will" Jobs did not leave the USA or UK because of cheap wages per se, they left because the wages of the masses in those countries were dropping in real terms...... In the UK for example, ordinary workers have not seen a rise in their real income since the early 1970's and I suspect the US is the same...... So to sell them goods, one has to make them cheaper... so one sends the work elsewhere ... Today in China they send much work to Myanmar, because China has become too expensive for many products to be made there for it's local economy. The capitalist wheel never stops turning. However it gets worse, much worse very soon ....... The real issue and the change from 20th century Europe is Ai and AGi ...... Ai, Artificial Intelligence and the more problematic, AGi .....Artificial General Intelligence. Ai means we program a robotic machine to do something and it follows those instructions to the letter ... Nothing more or less... If you tell it to paint the car pink, it paints the car pink until told to stop. Or pours coffee or flips burgers ........ Whilst AGI means a computer brain which says ... I think, therefore I am and it learns exponentionally by it;s own powers as a human child does.... but at billions of times the speed In tests so far the issues start when these AGi units talk to another, the fact there is another 'brain' tells them they are in existence, they have something to make comparison with. .... So quite soon while you might tell it paint cars pink, it might decide it prefers blue, or you have too many pink cars. The real upshot is this ... The turn of capitalism has created the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs in the USA & UK ... for them to be replaced by poorly paid service industry work .... But within 30 years there will be no service industry work either, because AGi and Ai will be doing it. Then one has to start to talk about a Universal Basic Income model, as is already happening in the halls of power ... Somehow people, the masses, they have to be sustained when there is simply no work for them...... We are returning to Rome and 'Bread and Circus', or maybe 'Rollerball' ...... But certainly free food and free entertainment. The fundamental issue with that, as my wife a Dr of Psychology will tell you, is the complete loss of hope. Who really buys lottery tickets? Plays bingo and other non-skilled gambling? Poorer people.... Whilst it is often millions and millions to one that they will win.... they still expend a relatively high % of their income on hope. That is what they are buying, hope. So when you have no job, no possibility of a job, when your life choices are very limited and almost totally dictated ... where is the hope? Just as these same people say 'I must be given work', then 'I must be given food and entertainment' they will soon say 'I must be given hope' It is a conundrum yet to be answered ... But the wall? That's just a smoke screen to stop the masses thinking.

Howdy everyone, Padalex here. I’ve been playing RDR2 for 2 months now I think and have completed the story, on my second playthrough right now. I also play Online with some of my friends, but spend most of my time in single player until more Online content comes out. I am a down to earth person who talks about everything and I love game photography (and so happy that this game has a fully functional 19th century camera). My playstyle is varied, but I usually like to take my time and explore everything, else I feel like I got to backtrack all the time or even do everything over again to get the full experience. Looking forward to get to know some of you! (I’d say everyone, but that’s virtually impossible).

read this wrong, you're talking expansion to the game. We know what happens with John after RDR2, why not the rest? I think it would be fun to play as Sadie and see her story expanded. Or play as Bill/Dutch/Charles up until they get killed by John in RDR. Or why not go farther back and see how each member (and the ladies) got to be in the gang.

The exact reason why I urged folks repeatedly to delay in purchasing gold. Anything purchased during beta could be subject to rollbacks or worse. There's little in terms of recourse for consumers/customers either, thanks to the standard EULA boilerplate language that guarantees arbitration instead of litigation in the event someone wants to challenge this. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a leg to stand on. Review the EULA; the best you can hope or is arbitration.l

I think more coop missions would be cool

I think your biggest issue is expecting it to be resolved immediately. You were told that they're working on it. Just have a little patience. If you REALLY needed that $20, you wouldn't have spent it on in-game currency in the first place.

gotcha… very helpful. Thank you so much!

Like I said, you can be a posse leader and be a member of multiple other posses. If you as a leader want to hop over to another posse that's active, just stand down(NOT DISBAND, stand down deactivates, disband deletes) your posse and join theirs if you are already a member or wait for an invite if you aren't. Also, keep in mind that in addition to having up to 4 active members for a small camp/temporary posse and up to 7 for a large camp/persistent posse, there's a limit to the total number of invitations a leader can send out. I think it's around 11. When you hit that limit, you have to delete somebody to send out another invite.

Congrats! I don't think i'll get 100%. After restoring my game way back when to get the white horse back i can't get some of the challenges again. Trying the same way i did the first time and i'm unable to complete them.

How do you miss a main mission? Aren't those forced on you? I know there are optional side missions, are those required for 100%? I only used the guide for the chapter 6 and the epilogue (regarding missions). I guess I just got lucky, I got my 100% on Sunday.

I tried to name my horse "Fritz". It turns out I'm a racist.

It's a personal thing, but I still don't see how anyone can remotely compare story mode to online. The simplest illustration of that for me is, how much does your online character physically look like the story character? There are thousands of other examples, but that to me is the simplest. You are right though about not quitting the game. At least give Rockstar a chance to implement their anti griefing measures. But I'm not going to "get better" just to fight off someone I'd probably never associate with in game or in real life. My opinion, but griefers are inherently bullies and not worth my time. When I want to shoot it out, I go into those quick matches. That's what they're there for, in my opinion. I'm weary of hearing the "but it's the Wild West" arguments which would only make sense to me if players would have to suffer severe consequences as those in the Wild West did (a "hanging judge" was no joke). Mutual combat was one thing back then but murder was quite another. In this game, the in game punishments do not fit the in game crimes. Until they do, the griefing won't stop. But I still say hang in there until Rockstar decides what it's going to do for us. And before I forget, someone here posted the feedback site awhile ago. I use it frequently, posting two suggestions this morning (one having to do with PvE servers the other with losing levels for killing players how do not consent to combat). Please, please, use the feedback forum. Let Rockstar know if you're not satisfied with the game as is. It's a little broken as far as I'm concerned. https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback

Yes, that would be correct. Everyone sucks at the game. If you auto-aim, you suck. If you free aim you suck. Great there goes our self-esteem out the window. Thanks Everyone.

I never met ghost/cheater in RDO yet, maybe i'm lucky But for sure YodaMan is right: Some ability cards can gives you huge defensive advantage. Personnaly, i mixed "Slow and Steady III" (less general dammage and no insta-kill from headshot while using dead eye) with "Never without one III" (way less dammage if wearing a hat + block 1 headshot). Just with these two cards you are already 3x stronger than at the beginning.

See I disagree, people in real life have a tendency to play close to their heart. I can't say it isn't possible to play out of your comfort zone, but in reality are sure that isn't a nod to your ability control said traits. I have participated in RP games majority of my life and seen lots of strange characters and their players. When I started playing online and open chat was available. Listening to what some of the players was saying. Let's just say, you don't just walk down the street saying those things to people. Yes, they're are some that RP and I have seen them in RDR2. Majority of players aren't RPing. They're releasing stress from their lives. Players grief cause there is nothing in place to stop them. They apparently have no self-control to stop themselves. They get off on driving other players from the server, lobby, or game. Contrary to what some may think, Rockstar doesn't want to lose players regardless if the game mechanics stop you or not when it comes to griefing.

ALCON Haha y'all arguing over some thing like a bunch of 2nd graders. 1. Auto aim is definitely easier than free aim, hence its name "aim assist" 2. There is nothing wrong with using auto aim, if that helps you. 3. Have some humility and common sense...don't create a rhetorical post IOT brag about your video game prowess (hand/eye coordination, reaction time?) But thank you for the entertaining read. God Bless. v/r The Coca-Cola Kid

So, as a huge fan of the Single player, there is a couple of things i WISH, and hope they will include in the final RDO. These are just... A couple of realism inputs, and when the beta is over, and they fix all the glitches, lags, connection issues. What do you guys think? (I already made a feedback wish to Rockstar) - More life in the world (Like we saw in singleplayer) - More life in the cities (In small towns = Gun standoffs, and in the BIG cities common bar fight, and invite to a fight (The one in Saint denis with charles, etc) - Bring back the Single player stranger popups on the map, like the "Snake Suck Bite - Bear Trap - Woman Kidnapping) So on. - Bring in the minigames (Often placed in citys) , Like blackjack, poker, finger fillet, domino. etc. (I know the real life gambling issue, but that could be fixed by using ingame dollars) - House Building (i know it aint the sims, but somehow like the Epilogue with John) , and ofcourse to own propety and collect dollars. - Be able to ROB the stores, Houses and etc. Right now almost every house i entered, is empty. - Bring back real life beard & Hair Growth. - Lets be honest, that feature was awesome!! - And also do trimming in camp! Including shave! - Bring in a FEW voice spoken dialogs for your character. When you meet other players in the free roam, would be cool with a "Hey Mister, Hey Partner" or something!!? - More Gun twirling animations! - The one thats already there, is totaly awesome! - Able to bath, and maybe include a brothel! (In GTA there was prostitues, why not in RDO? - Afterall.. back then, that was a thing!) These where the things i just had in mind while playing the beta so far, having in mind its a beta ofcourse, i just hope they still go with the realism part. Am i way of hand here? 😂

Take off your pants..

What they did is messed up bro.

As you play on and slowly rise the bid, other players usually fold one after the other, once there is only 1 or 2 left, no matter what cards you have bet enough to make the one with less cash go all in, its 50/50 for him to call your bluff and then another 50/50 for you to actually win but if you do you bust him out. Its the way I did it anyways ;p took me like 10 mins I think. Hope it helps

My friend finally admitted to it, said he did it on a dare. To much drinking going on yesterday. He bought my 25 gold today so I could replace some of my stuff again.

I never could understand why someone would buy a game just to have someone else play it for them.

Thanks everyone, made a new cowpoke last night, will start leveling today at some point. Hate loosing all my stuff but hey, it's just a game. When you start getting older you can't afford to get worked up over a game.

Trolling a bear? See how long you can survive that horrifying chase. 😁

Thanks for the support, but I think you've over-egged your pudding. Bit strong. I'm not sure there's a direct line from troll to murderer, for example. I suspect the hyperbole here is ... Deliberate? But I do believe his actions and attempted justifications belie a character flaw, yes, a bullying mentality, and that probably does have real life correlations.

Seems like a lot of what’s in the single player is missing from online. - Making temporary camps to cook. - Hair growth and cut. - Bad rep in each region for bad doings increasingly giving you bounty and law after you. - Horse wrangling where you can keep the horse. Etc etc... all these features are what make the game. As well online is not multiplayer... it’s go play a watered down version of the game and either avoid or shoot on sight other players so you don’t continuously die. In the multiplayer world there’s more than pvp... that’s why rdr has the pvp challenges. What would be so wrong with playing the full game minus the story missions with other players... and if you want to be a bad guy have ever increasing consequences to deal with for your choices?

actually, they do. they have a whole group who does nothing but test. But even then there's no way in hell they can catch all the bugs and exploits and glitches. They mainly just test for major issues. Beta testing by players is by far the most effective testing for any game, but they usually do closed beta testing with a selected user base. I think it's cool they did RDR2 as open beta. Thins out the idiots you'd have to deal at release if they did closed beta

Yeah there is nothing from them on this so something went wrong with your account. Just give Rockstar a heads up and see if they can sort it out for ya!

That should not have happened. Contact RS and let them know.

Beer and bitches..

Actually no, I use Auto-Aim because it makes it easier due to my physical disabilities and it's people like you that make the case for games to include Auto-Aim as an accessibility feature fall short of delivering to include gamers like me. Your attitude and hunger for attention is shameful and embarrassing. Congrats because the only attention you're getting here is negative attention. I'm enjoying reading your nonsense and awaiting more roasts on you from other members... it keeps me warm on this brisk December afternoon

You're using auto aim.. And score boards don't care about RNG skills. Auto aim or free aim. So taking cover is noobish. Something that soldiers and police officers in real life learn to do in REAL shoot outs. But its noobish in video games.. Because your scraggly ass said so? I don't think so.. Again.. you're using auto aim. Oooh please. Real pros like me. Only shoot people in the nuts. All nuts shots.. All the time.

A fact that you can't back up.. Isn't a fact. Its an opinion. So let me get this straight... If people use free aim and go for body shots its noobish or just luck. But when you use auto aim.. Its 100% pure skill and you're the best ever. LMFAO.

Ever heard of forum rules "buddy": Haha.... 🙄

All I learned from that is that diving out of the way seems to be way over used. Did you really create a thread on an internet forum to call yourself the best RDR player? That's turd city bro. Also, isn't this what everyone does in online? Aim-flick-fire? You're not too bad at making montage videos though. Need to work on your narcissism.

I want my character name to be of more importance - show my character name not my account name

You know that there is an option for it already? Go to Options -> Settings -> Display -> Online Overhead You will have 3 options there.

Really dude? Just say it was you... I don't think anyone should brag about effective use of the auto aim system...

He really knows how to use that auto aim. He's obviously really talented.
