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.

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:

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.

Rumors are circulating that we should expect something this fall be it a remaster or an enhanced edition of the game. I am just wondering it it will be like RDR where they just make the game run smoother with a few bits and bobs thrown in. Not a big deal for most people but plenty were happy with the minor updates. I just don't see this being massive when Rockstar is focused heavily on GTA 6 right now.

I mean if we only get a patch but it fixes everything broken with the game and ups the fps issue, I am fine with it. I really don't want to buy another version if I don't have to! lol

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.

For anyone wondering, there are four new missions. Strange Tales of the Plague: This mission involves finding and delivering diseased corpses in Armadillo while avoiding zombies and cultists. Strange Tales of Modern Science: In this mission, players must attack Braithwaite Manor, which is defended by a large number of robots. Strange Tales of the Bayou: This mission takes place in Lagras, where players have to fight through waves of NPCs and gators to capture a target. Strange Tales of the Wilderness: This mission requires players to track down a target in a large area of Tall Trees without any weapons or consumables. I got the first one done last night.

nvm I just realized this is a story mode only question page my bad

I played through RDR1 again last year and having played RDR2 again and finishing it up a month or so ago, I feel like the first one was way darker and more horrific. It felt more raw and just in your face compared to the second one. Maybe that is just me though idk.

I think it would be better to go back further in time. Maybe something in the 1860's or 1870's. Wouldn't make much sense to follow up with Jack cause that means the old west would be dead. Maybe they could tie him into an LA Noire style game if they ever do one of those again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nah. Nothing that I could find. Only thing I found was that Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update for the Switch 2. This doesn't mean anything for PS5 or Xbox S/X. The standard Switch didn't have RDR2 at all so they are just going to release it for the new Switch. I don't think it is anything beyond this.

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.

Where are you looking? Cause I been playing on PS 5 for awhile now lol It runs better than it does on xbox as well but still has its issues. The controller isn't as good though cause you don't get those cool lights on the controller when you are wanted. They are still active but it isn't as noticeable.

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 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.

From what I looked into, it is looking and sounding like a remaster. I mean to me, it isn't much of a difference. Sounds like it will be like RDR 1 but with a bit more going for it so maybe more in line with GTA 5's enhanced edition.

Hey there, Sorry, I didn't see this til now. I haven't played since 2021 so.... cant remember lol. but I wanted to come and say, yes, I see your post, but it has been so long I really cant remember, I did however finish the game twice. Also, I couldn't remember my sign in soi I think I created a new account? lol what a mess. Lumper

The only way to get south of Blackwater that I know of and not be hunted, is to play the chapter 3 mission, I think it is chapter 3, where you go to Bronte's mansion to get JAck back, in that mission one of the tasks you have to complete is search the cemetery and not be seen, But if at some point you are seen by police, yet you still escape and live, to finish the mission, afterwards when it is all over, for some reason, you can then travel to Blackwater or any other part of New Austin and nobody will hassle you. Now I read that this was patched, so I am not sure if you can still do this or not. When I did it, it worked perfectly. UPDATE: So once I got to the epilogue and was able to free roam, I had some mail, and it was the invite from Gil, which is odd, since John never met Gil, or sent him any fish. anyway, the story went on as it should and left me as John at Rio Bravo. SO I guess R* never recorded script from Arthur in case anyone did this, and the game is a bit linear in that respect as far as this fishing legendary fish is concerned. Im sure even though they had the budget and time allowances they had, that they still woudl have loved more time and more money, the game as awesome as it is, has many areas where I think hmm it woudl be nice if... and then I think, I bet they wanted that, but..... I cant wait to see what the future holds.

Howdy Strangers! Welcome to the forum. While you’re here, you’re welcome to kick off yer boots, take a load off, and enjoy some conversatin’ by the campfire. We love a good discussion. However, what we don’t like is folks being less-than-friendly-like to each other. So here’s a list of rules we all need to abide by while visitin’ the forum. The Important Stuff Be neighborly: First and foremost, if you find yourself typing something you yourself wouldn’t be happy to read were it directed toward you, we suggest a re-write The Law: We do have some lawmen ‘round these parts. You can identify ‘em by the words Administrator or Moderator under their usernames in posts and on their profiles. They’re here to help, but what they say goes. You’re free to disagree, but since they’ll be respectful to you, the same is expected in return. Don’t post unless ya got somethin’ to say: Your “post count” is intended to be an accurate representation of your activity here. Don’t post for no reason – that includes “bumping” a thread that’s dead and buried. If you have something to say, say it. Any comment that just reads “bump” will be promptly deleted. And any spam posts will get ya run outta town. Harassment/hate posts: Any hate speech or deliberate harassing/bullying on this forum is cause for an immediate banning from the forum. Context or intent does not matter – don’t do it. If you’re quoting something or someone and need to indicate such types of words, abbreviations, splat marks (****) and other indications are generally fine, but if they are used in place of a hate word directed toward another user, the consequences will be the same. Bullying/trolling: No one likes a fun ruiner, so don’t ruin ours. We’re all here because we have a common interest. Let’s focus on that interest. When your interest shifts to trying to derail a discussion or throw insults at folks, that’s when we step in. If you’re confused, see the first bullet point. If this type of behavior is observed, we encourage members to use the “Report Post” button. Advertising/soliciting/self-promotion/selling/trading: Your purpose in joining our community should not be to sell or trade items/services, promote or advertise your site, social media, Youtube videos, etc. Forum contributions made for those reasons will be deleted and are cause for an immediate ban. Legitimate recommendations and external sources of information/help/entertainment etc are of course permitted, but just make sure your mentioning them for the right reasons. Name and shame: Please don't be tempted to"name and shame" or call out other players in Red Dead Online that you might have had a dispute or other issue with. We don't allow those sorts of posts. Spoilers: Don't potentially ruin the game for others by posting spoilers without some sort of warning. We have spoiler tags that you can use within your post too. See this thread. Well! Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s look at a few other smaller items. Say Howdy: We have a fancy little area called “Introduce Yourself,” and it’s expected of newcomers. After you’ve read these rules, we ask that you stop by that area and tell us a little about yourself. Doesn’t have to be much, just so’s we can get to know ya a bit. After that, post and comment away! Announcements & Stickies: Important posts can be labeled by The Law as an “Announcement” or a “Sticky.” That means you should read ‘em. Think of it as a Town Hall meetin’. Make sure you review it. No alias, secret or duplicate accounts: We know some folks think it’s funny to create a second account and pretend to be someone else. We also know other folks like to create multiple accounts to side-step bans. Regardless of intent, multiple accounts are not allowed. If you’re found to have more than one account, you’ll likely be shown the door on all of ‘em. No airin’ of private matters: If you receive a PM, the details of that PM are between you and them. If it’s violating rules, you can share it with an Admin or a Mod. Don’t copy/paste or post screenshots of private messages. No illegal activity: No talking about pirated or other illegal or prohibited content, cracks, hacks, torrents or anything of the sort. Same goes for any other illegal content or activity. You will be banned immediately and, if necessary, the authorities notified. Repeated username tagging: We understand when something’s important to you. But you won’t evoke change by constantly commenting about a change you want in the game and tagging every moderator, administrator, and developer every time. These folks are busy tendin’ to a whole lot of other issues. When you repeatedly tag them for yours, it’s more muck for them to trudge through, and, in turn, makes them slower to respond. One will do, thanks! Search before creating new threads: ‘Round these parts, we like to keep things tidy. That said, one thing we don’t take kindly to is having 14 threads about the exact same thing. Then you have 14 conversations and people having to repeat their thoughts in each. Do a search for what you want to talk about. (It may help to filter your search to just the “Content titles only”) If there’s a similar thread – even if it’s old – post your comment there, and it’ll circulate that thread, and thus, your comment, back to the top of the “Activity” page. If there’s not a similar thread, then you can make a new one. Note that, in order to keep things tidy, Mods and Admins can (and most certainly will) take the liberty to merge a redundant thread into the existing one, or just close/delete the thread altogether. The Search field is your friend, Friend. Double/Multi-posting: Speaking of “keepin’ things tidy,” seeing the same user post two, three, eight times in a row in the same thread is just not tidy. So, if you’re the last one to post in a thread and want to post something else, just click the Edit button at the bottom of your last comment, and add it there. You can even copy/paste other people’s quotes into edits to address more than one comment. (Just make sure you “select all” when doing this.) You can post a fresh comment again after someone else posts. This also helps prevent endless thread-bumping. Don’t be sneaky: These rules are here for a reason. You’re expected to follow them, not try to get around them. We’re happy to give reminders for oversights, but if you just won’t abide by these rules and repeatedly try to find ways around ‘em, well – we don’t take too kindly to that. Attempts to circumvent established rules will not be tolerated.
