Exactly why I have a "go-to" list of 5-10 places I know Mrs. Creed won't say "no" to. It covers an array of cultural culinary options, and it's never failed. Pro tip: always have your S.O.'s favorite desert option on the list. I know that for Mrs. Creed, every so often, I'll be going to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard instead of an actual meal. Which is fine with me because I pass the best tacos in town on the way back.

PVE players and passive players can easily accumulate resources, but they take more time to do so. For R*, we are useless and unprofitable players consuming server resources. Usually these players will not spend real money on the game, as they don't have a competitive profile and they tend to have more patience to accumulate resources. PVPs needs to improve fast, so they tend to spend real money to accelerate the proccess and increase their chances against others PVP players (who improves fast too). Of Course, R* likes that! Players who consume long time server resources and do not pay real money are a R * nightmare. R * will do anything possible to get these people away from the game. And the Griefers are R*' s great friends to achieve this. R* creates perfect scenarios to let griefers make PVE gameplay like an inferno! Unfortunately, I'm a passive player. I clearly feel that my gameplay style is not well seen by R * and it tries hard to create situations to keep me away from the game. Commercially speaking, I have already paid the license of the game. From now on, every minute online means only losses for R *. And R* is reaching its objective!

Hey! I definitely felt ashamed when my buddy caught me scrolling through facebook yesterday! I know better than that...

Well, I didn't say it was a model that didn't favor PvP. ....but R* is clearly trying to sell the PvE aspect of it as well to players and if they can add some balance, I don't see why RDO couldn't be more enjoyable for coop / PvEers like myself.

Take Two immediately counter-sued for the right to include the two characters in the game. Being a Swede has nothing to do with it IMO. Pinkerton doesn't represent you or your fellow citizens, right? ....it's just a company regardless of who they're owned by.

There is very little between the 2 of them They are both multi grade horses, the Turkoman is war/race and excellent in gunfights noise doesnt bother it a deal its Heart core is a full circle giving it great defense against damage speed wise pretty quick but not as fast as the Fox trotter but there isnt much speed difference its also pretty good around predator animals standing its ground well. Fox trotter is a Work/race horse si is extremely good around predator animals mine has actually killed a grizzly and a wolf stamina is excellent but hear cores not as good as the Turkoman So basiaclly either are good all rounders with small benefits either way I use Turkoman for mission etc where gunfights are the norm and use the Trotter for hunting and travelling great distances at speed End of the day its what you like and want out of the game but as dollars are easy enough to earn why not buy both

Well their actions are .. at the moment are just "Killing Players'. And Killing players is not something that only griefers do. So anything that effects killing other players always needs to be looked at from all angles. Not just from the lense of Griefers. Lets say for example they make it so killing players gives a penalty.. So now players defending themselves get punished? Friends who fight each other for fun get punished? And... lets say they added a Passive option. Well, now griefers are tossing TNT at the fish where you're fishing OR shooting Perfect Animals (to downgrade to Poor) right after you kill an animal. And now, you can't shoot them. So you have to leave the game anyways... The cycle really ends. I like griefers.. I don't LIKE LIKE them. But without them, id have no one to fight. I need them..

Just a heads up. Just recently I've started coming across more and more higher level players that are toting around explosive ammo. This ammo can 1 shot you and your horse frem nearly any range and hit any part of your body to do it. I recently purchased the pamphlet required to make this in case they try this on me but unless your level 91-92 you wont be able to buy it(also costs $1000...yeah). They can only carry 10 of each weapon type of this ammo which is 40 rounds but that's a lot of dying before it's a fair fight so be warned. Usually these are only used by either cowards who cant hold their own (especially if you are wrecking their whole crew in a 1v3 or. Sometimes used by a few players just having a laugh but I find it near impossible to deal with if you dont have the same ammo. Even with dead eye abilities cards maxed and fortified health it will knock you on your ass long enough for them to get the killshot in. Its OP AF.. with the only limiting factor is the amount you can carry. Still...just thought I'd share.

The Beta was easy to stomach for many people at 1st. Because it was called a 'beta', most of us thought it would only be for a week or two. So it was just fun to play with friends and experience the game. But now R* says the beta will last for a 'few' more months. And the only thing they talked about is minor changes to help against 'griefing'.. When griefing is the least important thing. Unless R* pulls its head of its ass soon. This game will be a ghost town soon. This game needs free aim lobbies and private lobbies. The choice for players to HOST their own co-op and pvp missions. Be it public or private with options to suit taste. The ability to pick what pvp modes they want to play. NOT Show down.. If players want to play team shoot outs ONLY, let them. Just like the OLD RDR. BASIC things that ALL online R* games have had the past 10 year. R* has decided to NOT do it. They sure as hell made sure to get their Gold Bar store open ASAP tho. But in terms of game play they're literally treating their players like cattle. No choice and no control. Srry for the rant. But this is just starting to become frustrating. This is a billion dollar game dev. Not Gun Media...

i bought 25 gold bars by mistake for the ps4 and cant refund them so i'll be giving them away to whomever replies with the best reply about needing them. please, if you dont need them and $10 is no big deal to you dont reply so someone who could really use them can get them. thanks!

bandana's back then weren't worn for fashion. They had a purpose. Most men in those days didn't give a sh*t about fashion and wearing patterns, or if their shirt matched their spurs. etc. The only things that mattered about a bandanna was if it matched the colors if they were in a gang, (like The Cowboys and the Wild Bunch all wore red bandannas) to keep dust/dirt from their mouths, and conceal themselves if needed. I think the masks are stupid, masks back then were mainly worn in the cities by the rich and the suck-ups to their balls and parties. Men of the wild west didn't wear masks, they used their bandannas. About the only time you'd see a mask on an outlaw was their death photograph/drawing depending on the undertaker, or if they got shot in the face/head.

Ashamed? Quit using those fancy European words that Americans don't understand!

When you select a member from the player list, there is an option to invite, report, etc. and one where you can view their profile. This will open their PSN profile. If you select the box with "...", there you will have the option to block. For posses that are a problem, I go to "posse" within the menu and select the appropriate one. From there you select each of the members and then the rest is the same process. Hope that makes sense.

yes. And i still know how to use the Dewey decimal system to find the book or magazine in the library Those were the days, one dictionary, maybe 2, and 2 encyclopedias to find all your facts in, although around here the Encyclopedia Britannica was used more. And we had to have 3 resources listed in our papers to show we actually did the research or we would fail on that paper. I went back to college in 2014 to finish my degree and was amused to find that wikipedia is not (or was not then, may have changed now) recognized by universities as a valid source of information. If that site was cited on your papers you failed.

Pick your head up. Higher....

What a campy but watchable movie, although that "Stitch Jones" character Peebles co-starred as was annoying as hell. There are a couple others as well but he was probably the most irritating to me. .......thought so back when it released too.

NEVER be ashamed of being a Swede (warning, slightly NSFW for language): All kidding aside, things to be ashamed of should have more to do with what you've done as a person than where you're from. Me? I should be ashamed of the time I crapped my pants at work. But it's going to take more than that to rattle my cage.

This is the most true statement in this thread. R* should be making announcements about expected content changes once the beta concludes. Will additional content to free roam be available at "launch" or is it a backburner item? The biggest impediment to the game's long term viability is the lack of free roam content. By making it a PvP environment (sorry @Kean_1, but with friendly fire being a persistent state, the game is absolutely PvP, and not PvPvE, like The Elder Scrolls Online), there's little for players to do once they achieve max rank other than kill each other in the free roam environment until endgame content, like raids or dungeons, is implemented. Maybe they have instanced, gated content like robbing a wagon train, bank heists, storming a fort to rescue an NPC or Posse member, whatever.

If you want to gift him the gold specifically & not just a marketplace gift card, try Gamestop. They may have the RDO gold on a card you can buy or worst case, they may be able to sell it to you through their computer which prints out the code on a reciept.

We all know what game we're playing. It's also represented in all of R*'s marketing for the mode....... "blending narrative with competitive and cooperative gameplay in fun new ways", "Red Dead Online will be ready to be explored alone or with friends, and will also feature constant updates and adjustments to grow and evolve this experience for all players.", etc., etc. It's clear to me that R* wants to make Free Roam an experience for all to enjoy. Yes, it's a PvPvE model but it needs balance. Personally, I think there should be consequences for griefers. As it is now, there are none and they roam around the game world with impunity. There's no bounty, penalty, etc. Regardless of whether I enjoy skirmishes at times, it can be very frustrating and fun-ruining being trolled especially when you really just want to do your own thing solo or with friends. ......and especially when you are at a steep disadvantage whether that's being outnumbered or being bullied by a fully kitted player(s) dozens of levels above you. There is absolutely no fun in that IMO / IME. Even when I do have the advantage, killing someone over and over again because they won't go away is boring is not my idea of a great time. Regardless, R* has acknowledged that griefing is one of the most received complaints from fans and they have committed to trying to balance the gameplay as a result. Whether that puts some people off, it is all that matters to me. Private sessions are great and I would still love to see them materialize, but if GTAO is any indication, Free Roam may be the only option if you want to participate in most businesses and related missions. In that case, I would prefer R* address the Free Roam concern sooner rather than later. .....and I for one am glad they are listening. Let's face it.... These anti-griefing measures are not going to stop people from trolling. Some may even see the new bounty system, etc. as a challenge. I just hope the gameplay feels more balanced is all.

.. That's ONE SMALL side activity. This is Red Dead not a Hunting Simulator. Its fun to hunt and fish.... But you need to remember what game you're playn'. Game needs private lobbies tho.

you nailed it. the current generation would be very hard pressed to write a legitimate english (or whatever their language is) essay without their chat acronyms and slang. My english teacher way back when would be smacking her metal yardstick on her desk chewing them out for grammar and improper sentences lol.

Sue everyone for anything you can dream up has been the motto for people all over the world for the last 50 years or so. Pinkerton's will lose (and now i'm going to be sued for typing their name).

No. Every horse I have bought is on the brink of death. I just looked at my two back up horses, and all their core are red. Hope is gets fixed soon. I'm the only one in my posse that is effected by this. They thought I was crazy until we ran into another player this weekend that is experiencing the same thing.

I have the same issue. I filled out a ticket with R* and actually chatted with a rep on Friday. Apparently it is some kind of bug . It effects some players like me whenever they buy a new horse . I also have the issue of my horse constantly going back to Level 1 bonding. What seems to fix it is to either have your horse "flee" or going into a stable. R* is aware of the issue but didn't give a time table when it would be fixed.

While I agree that R* does like players attacking other players just to slow down their grind. GTA O is proof of that. You're whole narrative kinda falls apart when you posse up This is not a passive game and isn't meant to be played as one. You either outrun players, out gun them or out number them. Even NPCS can spawn out of no where and kill you. Hopefully R* adds private lobbies. So players who don't want to deal with other players can play there.

"THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! I want to bang one out when I please!!!" Sound accurate?

Bluewater Marsh as well as the shoreline west of Rhodes are both areas rich with the types of birds worth killing for the feathers. I.e. pelicans, loons, spoon bills, herons, cormorants, hawks and owls...all of which who's feathers range from $1.20 ea - $1.95 ea with ability to carry up to 10 at a time. Plus the shoreline also supports small and largemouth bass worth $2ea and Steelhead trout worth $2.50ea. All of which cannot be taken from you upon your death by griefers. These areas also have Muskrats and Rabbits. The marsh holds gators for big game meat and wild mint to fortify health with as well The shore has the occasional cougar and Ginseng/Tobacco. Plus a gang hideout that spawns. Great areas.

Historically, the last two "official" online game communities I've been a part of have devolved into cesspits of negative energy. It's one thing to have developers and people who work on the game actively engage the community, but not everyone is suited to handle communicating with "the public" or "the customer". That's where a lot of companies go wrong in that they not only allow, but encourage team members to answer on behalf of the company in an official capacity, when in reality they're irrefutably better off letting media professionals or community engagement specialists manage the process with limited, tightly controlled access to team members who actively work on a title. That's not to say that team members unilaterally incapable of interacting with the public, but the company stands to gain very little from the exposure and risk they create by allowing employees unfiltered access to interact with the customer base. In a case like R* and RDR2, the game has such an enormous install base that there isn't really much to gain by having an official community presence. By keeping official communication isolated to select gaming journalists, news outlets, and offical press releases, R* limits their exposure to potentially damaging communications by employees who aren't trained on how to effectively communicate with the public. Branding is VERY important in the modern culture. People get attached to brands and develop loyalty as a consumer, so it's imperative that a company find an effective way to not only obtain but RETAIN customers. An official online forum for specific games creates too much exposure to liability to be an asset worth pouring time and resources into, especially at the level that R* is at, when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. People here in the US seem to inaccurately adhere to the notion that the First Amendment, guaranteeing free speech, applies to the private sector. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Amendment is there to prevent the government from creating laws to restrict speech. Private companies absolutely retain the right to monitor employee activity both in and outside the workplace as a condition to employment. One of the biggest mistakes I see people make (particularly younger people) is the inability to segregate workplace and personal relationships in social media. I highly encourage everyone to maintain separate social media profiles for work and personal use, because you never know who is reading what you say/post online, and who may report what you're saying to your employer. Circling back to my original point, folks seem to forget that when they make comments in the public space (which includes online gaming communities), that their employer can be held accountable for their actions under the legal doctrine respondent superior . When employees participate in official communities of the companies they work for, it creates a very complicated situation for parties on all sides, so R* deciding to eschew an official online community (outside of the Rockstar Games Social Club) makes a lot of sense, especially from a legal and media management perspective. TL:DR; The most likely reason R* doesn't have an official online community is to limit their exposure in the event that an employee or agent says or does something stupid. And they really don't need one give the runaway financial success of their titles overall, and consumer brand loyalty.

I feel your pain dude. But if R* would have added Private Lobbies and Free Aim lobbies. In both cases, you would probably never have been headshotted so easily. (NPC ambushes would still happen tho) From there R* can then start talking about how to deal with 'griefers'. But from that stand point of players who WANT to be in the chaos that is public lobbies. I do agree about adding more Butchers.

Go ahead and kill as many larger animals as you like simply for the meat value and other items but yes. carrying over 4 pelts will cause you to forfeit payment for the majority. Deer skins are always the one that bugs out if you have a wide variety of pelts on your horse. Stick to birds and small game (spoonbills, and muskrats/rabbits) and after 4 pelts of larger animals stop storing them on your horse.

Guys.. Not for nothing but this topic isn't about Griefing. Its about R* not adding the basic and bare necessities to the game. From Free Aim, to Private Lobbies.. to actual in game Options. That have been included in every GTA O game for over 10 years. Someone simply read my comment about "Griefing being the least important thing" line when compared to what I listed, and kind of took offense to it. Many Players are sitting here waiting for R* to simply say. "Free Aim lobbies are coming.. Private Lobbies are coming". Instead we get a post about up coming changes to the game (Some of which tackles griefing). Griefing is the least important for R* to post about. Same with posting about how they will add NEW showdown modes.

Especially, when she corners Arthur and tells him how important it is to spend time with Jack. Usually, that is a thing a father wants to do and be a part of.

I think on the xbox the transaction goes through the Microsoft store. So a gift card for the Microsoft store should work, if they have those.

yea. the ps4 one is from game stop. goofy that you can do it with ps and not xbox.

Three of us tried different ways of contacting Sony regarding the blocking issue, posting, chatting and emailing. The direct quote that one of us got while doing an online chat was interesting. "We totally understand your situation and we are sorry to know that you are getting issues with those players, and you won't be on the same lobby if you block the player and you will avoid them and enjoy the game in a better way, sounds good?" The rest of the chat log rambled a little so I'm still not 100% sure. But I'll take it for what it's worth. Reporting is a step up from blocking but this Sony rep seemed to think that just blocking might keep us from the same lobby as griefers/bullies. I only wish there was some log of every griefer that has popped me so far (is there one online?) but I guess I'll just start today and ask my friends for names of those they've come across. This isn't much because there are a ton of people playing online but I'll feel a little better knowing that these clowns will only get a one shot attack on me (if it really works).

Just going out on a limb here but I already thought it was John marathons wife! I k ow this is a little far fetched but when they talk about jack it kind of makes sense!

Because anything that fixes 'griefing'.. Which is really just killing other players. Will also effect the players who defend themselves. So the game just becomes... .whats the word. Ugh? Some sort of yella bella city slicker type of horse shiiiit. Hell, the biggest griefers I deal with are mostly my friends.. Who when posse'd up kill each other, hog tie each other, drop each other off cliffs.. burn each other alive.. And when a random 'griefer' does show up. It turns into a massive feeding frenzy. Like all the zombies in the church in 28 days later poppin their heads up. (Fresh MeaT?) I play alone and set my profile offline all the time. Just so I can be attacked by 'griefers' in peace...lol

Well im not trying to be insulting.. Im just trying to be realistic about it. Like, If myself and friends just want to drink a case of beer, shoot animals and fish all night. We don't need other players around. We would just play in a private lobby. So much random and fun stuff can be done in private lobbies. Hell I want private lobbies, just for myself..lol Id be all for friendly public lobbies too.

Dude.. this is a WILD WEST game. If people bother you, you already have 3 choices. Out gun them, out number them OR find a new lobby. The only thing that's missing is private lobbies. That solves everything. They could also add friendly servers. But to try and fix something like randoms killings would be a Band- Aid. And R* has already proved with GTA O that anything they add to stop griefers gets used by griefers against players.

I agree. There are times when a gunfight is fun, even though I lose most of them, and there are times when I just want to fish or hunt in peace, and two servers would satisfy this. I can't see why this can't be done easily. Then you can chose what one you feel like entering.

How exactly am I wrong? This game needs BASIC game play options. Most of which would solve the griefing you complain about it. The only time a griefer killing you can really effect you.. Is when your horse has animals bodies or a fish on it. Since you can only carry one big fish on your horse, theres really no huge loss to being killed while fishing. Is it annoying.. Yes. But so is someone throwing tnt into the water while you fish What players should be doing is asking R* for private servers and free aim lobbies. Basically everything I listed. Private servers solve everything in terms of enjoying the game and not having to deal with pests. Some of use.. Like dealing with pests.

the 6 feet cable is the same cable. 3 feet is very short. It is the only cable with all the new 2.1 features in germany. On a 2.0b TV it uses only a higher signal, lower input lag, stable quality in all resolutions. The brightness is slightly higher. You can see that in apps like netflix or amazon prime too. It is different. The biggest difference is for me the witcher 3 with hdr. Ok, but this is the graphical blur issue thread of rdr2

Likewise. & sidenote for anyone reading this who is on the fence about joining: go ahead & fill out the application & download the Discord app. Its minimal effort & definitely worth it to play with a group of competent & like-minded people 🤠

When she starts growing a beard, that's when you should worry.

Ah I see, it was you who bought the HDMI cable.😀 I saw another person recommend this particular HDMI too and when you said it I thought that is person two who is going to try. I will buy it at the end of the week and will test on other games! I need that longer cable, otherwise I can't fit it from my LG SJ810V 49 inch to my newly PS4 PRO (CUH-7216B).

Clearly its not me who wants to argue. Because private lobbies does fix griefing in the sense that, you can't be griefed in private lobbies. (Well not by randoms anyways) You know how I deal with randoms in public lobbies who try and grief me.. ?

No its not.. I've rarely been griefed. When im alone, I just play it smart. With friends, we steam roll through everyone in our way. And if we had Private lobbies... Players like you who have a problem with being 'griefed'... would not be have any problems at all. Dumbing this game down more and more to suit the taste of players who don't want to be killed. Will only ruin the experience for players who like the 'anything can happen' feel of the game.

Does that work for squirells ?

Anyone saying that its an outlaw game, and you should kill and troll is stupid. Thats not how the wild west works. Thats how bad GTA multi player works. Real outlaws wouldn't kill randomly because there were consequences. All we ask is that there are severe punishments for trolls. Like being wanted and able to be killed for money by any player. And why not have a passive mode.
