Ok so I`ve seen "Justified" a couple of times and yeah I know a bit about the hillbilly-culture out west but I didn`t really know to much about Appalachia until I recently stumbled over this "Appalachian storyteller" at youtube. Facinating part of the US`s history, worth looking up! But once again this game impresses. There is of course an Appalachian community in this game; from Butchers Creek and up to Beaver Hollow. An area where you`ll have to keep your gun loose in it`s holster, ready for anything. You can place you`re camp up there but you better sleep with one eye open..

I thought this was really cool. I know it isn't directly tied to RDR2 but for those of you that enjoy Minecraft, you might enjoy a bit of cross-over. You can download it here if you want to put it in game and check it out for yourself.

So the new missions they added recently involve some cool things. I love the throwback they hint at with this stuff and I think the quote above is right, Undead Nightmare is still the best expansion to date in all of their games. That being said, since this is just Volume 1, we should expect another after this. Maybe more than one. Who knows! I am pretty hyped! I am working on playing through the missions this week.

For anyone wondering about the featured series this month, I am making a list here so you know which dates are for which modes. I am also posting it here for my own reference, makes it easier for me to check lol July 1-7: Hardcore Pro Series July 8-14: Elimination Series Large July 15-21: Hardcore Showdown Series July 22-28: Hardcore Plunder and Spoils of War Series July 29-August 4: Hardcore Last Stand

I don't know if it is just mine or what but he is annoying to ride and any little thing spooks him and makes him run away. I have had this happen in the middle of shootouts and he wouldn't come back. Always trips too when riding. Like I maxed out bonding and everything but the horse just never improved for me. I read that these were some of the funnest horses to use and it has been a nightmare for me lol

Buy it for him? Online I think is only $20. If you can spare it, that would be a good way to get him to play it since it would be free for him. lol Like if someone bought me a game I would be inclined to at least try it.

This for me as well. Those missions were insane. Like I was shocked how dark the game got coming off of GTA 4. I was not prepared for it lol I still find RDR1 to be the better of the two in terms of story, characters, and just raw emotion.

Just for the stranger missions alone, RDR1 takes the cake. I mean those were DARK. And the ending of the game honestly broke my heart. Not in a bad way, it was just very emotional for me. I didn't get the same connection with RDR2's story. It was good don't get me wrong but man I felt like John Marston was a friend of mine.

Tbf here, most horses in RDR2 suck LOL Like I have tried every breed/type and they all have the same issues. I think the horse mechanics are probably one of the worst things about the game.

Yeah it sucks cause I actually prefer RDR2 online vs GTA 5 online. I just don't see this game getting anything major for it outside of an upgrade for the graphics and maybe some new edition that includes some stuff for the newer consoles.

How soon is soon? I have not seen anything about it yet. I know there are rumors but if they planned on releasing it in the fall, I would imagine we would know by August right?

I love history on the wild west! It was one of the few times I actually listened during history class haha I am going to watch both these videos in a bit. I am sure there will be stuff I have yet to know/learn about.

A good intro-video:

If anyone was waiting to play or hoping it would come to Xbox, it will be soon. On August 26th, it will be added. Not sure if this is going to be cross-platform or not when it is added. But I am excited to be playing it either way. Played for like 20 min at a friends and have wanted to play it since.

I would probably get about 1.5 buildings in and quite. I have no attention span for something like this. Any time I do anything in Minecraft, I download it in terms of builds. I am going to have to give this a test run.

I was just looking online. I did check in the store and it absolutely is there. I don't know what made me think it wasn't. I just assumed only the story was on the newer consoles, not the actual online end but yeah it is there lol My bad!

I think they look at profits more than players. GTA 5 obviously brought them in more money and probably continues to even though it is an older game than this one.

There is that too. Why would they waste money if the game works fine. Like there are issues but they are minor and not enough people care about the FPS rates. The game still looks good and functions.

Yeah me too for some reason. Maybe they did like you said and it just didn't get finalized, idk. I could have sworn they worked on a different title though. Like I remember watching a video on the history of the company.

I wouldn't mind going back to Jack Marston and having a story that focuses on his life. I also wouldn't mind if they introduced another character in another area and have some overlap ties from both games. Not sure what time period they would choose. RDR 2 is in 1899 and RDR 1 is in 1911. So maybe they decide to go further back in time again or we see Jack adjust into the world where the American frontier is quickly fading away.

Oh for sure. Like I would rate RDR 2 at a 7/10 but RDR 1 is a 9/10. Both are great games but the first one stood out big time for me and I still find everything about it other than the graphics to be better.

Yeah they stopped doing updates and adding to the game a number of years ago. Which is sad. It had the traction. I think when online launched, they couldn't get the issues under control fast enough and since they were already focusing on GTA 6, it just got shuffled to the side.

I never heard of Rockstar owning Rare games so this is a first lol I didn't think GTA was their first game though. I could have sworn it was something else. Maybe something that was never published? I might be thinking of a completely different studio though.

I miss playing with people and I have a few friends that would play online IF we didn't have to deal with hackers. Like anytime I go online, I just get harassed, so do they which is why they stopped playing the game. Tons of people stopped because of it. Is there any way we can convince Rockstar to add invite sessions to only play with friends?

So you have a horse but can't access it?? Did you add a saddle to the horse? This makes it your primary horse. Other wise you need to use a lasso and take it to a stable. There is also a glitch/bug that happens where people's horses randomly disappear. Not sure if this was fixed or not but it could have happened. Try taming another horse and putting a saddle on it.

Hmm.. Yeah it makes sense to only be for the new Switch when you consider everything you said. I am still hoping we get a more stable version for PS5/Xbox though but I am not going to count on it.

I don't think they have added anything "new" since 2022. It is all the same stuff in rotation. So we will see holiday/seasonal stuff but that is about it.

Currently watching the newest season of The Bear. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14452776/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1 Highly recommend. All episodes are good but some are straight bangers. Like some of the best TV I had ever watched.

Donkey Kong is Rare as is Conker's. I think you might be confusing the two? The first one released by Rockstar was the original GTA but it was under DMA Design which was their name prior to becoming Rockstar.

I have not played in awhile, since like 2022 and coming back and not seeing much added if anything? Yeah it is quite disappointing. Rockstar really dropped the fn ball with this game. Shame on them.

I feel this and it hurts lol I thought I was the only one with horses that can't muster two brain cells to rub together LOL

This is the one I was going to mention. It was the first mod I used and I have stuck with it since. It just makes the game so much better imo. Like I can't even play without it enabled.

I can't bring myself to play RDR1 on Switch and definitely won't be able to play RDR2 on it either. It just feels like it would be lacking something that makes it the masterpiece that it truly is.

Why would anyone just buy online when you can get the story for another $5? I mean even if you don't end up playing it, you might eventually. lol I might snag it just to have it while it is on sale. I don't know if it will be enjoyable to play on PC for online tho.

I got one and was going to return it but ended up just selling it to a friend who was having trouble finding one for a slight discount. I kind of got it on an impulse buy and my wife was not happy about it. lol

Start with Rampage Trainer. It is probably one of if not the most popular mod people use for this game. It basically allows for you to make all kinds of adjustments and tweaks including adding your own cheats. It is a lot of fun. Ped Damage Overhaul is another I recommend. It makes the NPCs react more realistically.

This right here. They do have online go on sale from time to time. Like I got it for $5. I can't remember when it was but I wanted to be able to play on console again.

I don't remember this being an issue. I started playing the game again recently and made a new character and he honestly looks pretty good when I was making him but soon as I got online, it seems like he was downgraded or something. He went from looking like a chad to a meth addict lmao Is this an issue for everyone? I can't figure out what the heck happened.

There is a nexus mod you can use that makes it so your in a session with only friends but because this is using a mod online, it can result in you getting banned. I wouldn't risk it because of that. I mean we can keep pestering Rockstar to add the option to have invite-only sessions like in GTA online but at this point, I don't know if they will add it. I think if the game does come out for the Switch 2 though, they might end up adding it. Fingers crossed they do it for all consoles and PC though.

Well, until they add the option for unrestricted "invite-only" sessions like they finally did on GTAV, I really don't see how to avoid others if you're looking to play the full RDO experience. ...but I'm on PS5 and not PC so there may be something you can do that I'm not aware of.

Sad truth right here. They just don't care. I don't know if they expected it to be as big as GTA online or what. It was never going to be but it still has PLENTY of people and life left in it but they just ignore it.

HE ISNT A RAT NOONE CAN PROVE ME WRONG

A friend of mine did. The graphics do look better but for these kinds of games? I don't think it is worth it. Especially since if I want to do handheld games, I have a Steam Deck already. It would be silly for me to get the new Switch when the one I have already runs perfectly fine for the handful of games I play.

It is something people have complained about. I think it is the lighting and the compression it goes through. It is more noticeable if you are playing the game on a newer console. it was not as noticeable on PS4/Xbox One.

I have had issues with save files myself, especially after they had been sitting for awhile. I don't know why though. I even reached out to Rockstar and they had no solutions for me.

I just don't get this though cause like on Steam alone, there are still 40k+ people playing the game. Not including the people that play on console. I feel like they should have kept up with it more. I don't think we had any good update for it since like 2022 (??) maybe.

I think this is the case for me too. Like GTA is fun and all, don't get me wrong but RDR is so much more relaxing and exciting at the same time. It doesn't help that I hate city life either lol

I mean you could probably convince him to play when the updated version comes out. Get him hyped about it now. I am guessing he was bummed about the GTA 6 delay, sell it to him as a game he can play until that comes out!

I had this happen to me and didn't know what was wrong. I ended up trying again the next day and it worked. So I mean if it is still giving you issues, you could try reaching out to rockstar. I think in my case it was a save file issue that sorted itself out.

I was watching a video on rdr2 and they had posted the full guide you would have gotten with the Ultimate edition or one of those editions of the game. Soon after this appeared online, it disappeared and hasnt been seen or available, I was skeptical that this was even it, but I can 100% confirm that it is and it works. This is the link to download the pdf, get it while it remains. <Redacted> If there is any problem with sharing this, then I apologize and please take it down. That is a link to download the guide, here is a link to the page within you tube where you can see a video and the link for yourself if you prefer. <Redacted> I was very happy to open it this morning and see that in fact it is a complete guide 346 pages covering everything from the game both single player and Online.
