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.

So from what I have been seeing and hearing, it would appear a "new" release for Switch 2 is happening but when it comes to the Series S/X and PS 5, we should only be expecting a patch. Either way, a patch big enough to fix the FPS and other issues is huge. Considering we finally got new missions makes me think they are prepping and trying to get more people back online.

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:

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.

These people were crazy back in the day. I didn't watch the vid yet but wasn't this where moonshine originated? I feel like it did and it was horrifically lethal. I don't know how anyone drank that back then or even now. Although I think it is considered entirely illegal to make.

I am fairly certain we won't see this on Game Pass but still, it is not an expensive game and if you plan on playing it a lot, it is worth buying it anyways. I am probably going to get it when they release it.

I will be honest, I am not really a history guy but I will take a look at the video. I love attention to detail in games, movies, tv shows, etc. so knowing they went to great lengths for the details of this game will probably make me love it more.

I know a fair bit of the history of the old west in America and yeah, they pulled from some good parts. They really must have had an entire team just doing historic research. I love to see it.

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.

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.

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.

How do I get my horse buddy? That must be my problem.

It is more chill for sure. I guess certain aspects are exciting but for me that part wore off awhile ago. Now I just play this game when I want to relax. Just sucks online is terrible since other players like to terrorize you lol

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is what I think will end up being the case. I can't see them porting over to PS5/Xbox Series because the current one works good enough. Unless they think there is a chance they'd make a profit from it, they won't touch it. Switch 2 can make a good profit for them as Nintendo players haven't experience the game yet.

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.

What is your evidence that Micah isn't a rat? I mean one is his main nicknames is quite literally "Rat". And also "Snake". Would you say he is more of a snake than a rat? lol

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 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 they started to sunset the game's online end. I mean I don't understand why. It think they would have retained a lot of players if they treated it the same as GTA 5 with new DLC twice a year and weekly updates. We only seem to get discounts and seasonal events now which sucks.

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 know a lot of people drag rockstar for doing these remasters but I personally am looking forward to this one. We have no official announcement though do we? Like from rockstar themselves??

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.
