  1. I think it will sell very well with the Rockstar Fans.   Myself I usually support games when I know how the companies treat their player

    Very few who I have talked to thought it would. It is two different games. GTA has "modern" appeal with cars and what not which a lot of the younger Rockstar fans enjoy. I didn't know many 9 to 15 year olds who played RDR. Most people seemed to be 19 to 35 years old.

    Back in the day, it seemed like there was players from all age groups and it was usually the real young ones that shocked me the most.  They used to be able to make a sailor blush with some of the things they used to say.  I usually got laughing too hard I couldn't play the game.

  2. Got thinking about what I am looking forward to in RDR2 today and remembered a friend I met on RDR.   When I 1st got into MP on RDR he ran in the same group as I.  He was a disabled Vietnam Veteran and boy was he a grumpy old man.  One night he was getting slapped around by some young kids, I mean 6, 7, or 8 year old range, they were talking smack and he was dishing out right back at them.  He joined our chat group and asked for help and the others promised they would join, but soon as he left.  They all said the hell with it and kept doing what they were doing.  Still didn't know him well, but decided that it was un-cool to leave someone hanging like that.  So I found his GT and joined his game.   He had gotten cornered in that little old fort next to the capital.    I spawned in got my horse and rode in to help him out.  It turned out it was him and I against the rest of the server and we won far more then we lost that night.  Those kids kept calling us bullies cause the 2 of us was beating the rests of them and one threatened to go get his big brother, who I had apparently played against  a lot.    Everytime I got on, he would always join me and would play the game for hours non-stop.   We used to discuss everything we thought they would add to RDR2 cause at that time rumors were starting.

    One day, after not seeing him around for a couple of weeks, I saw him on.  In truth it was his nephew, who had been trying to get a hold of me.  The nephew told me his uncle had passed away, but before he died he wanted me to know he enjoyed being my sidekick in the old west and the family wanted to thank me for being his friend.   Cause that old Vet had been bed ridden for years and it was always a highlight to his day when he would see me get online.

    So here is my salute to an old friend and a new game.  Hope any new friends I make keep it as interesting as he did.

    CoD games are breeding grounds for 11 to 15 year olds for sure. It is funny too because they shouldn't even be playing those games... The age restriction is 17+

    I have seen trolls of all ages.  It's not just 11 to 15 year olds.

    Put yourself in their position. Trolls pay for the game just like everyone else. Sure, they can be annoying but they are paying just like everyone else. Why would they punish a paid customer? 

    I just think companies that target larger audiences need to develop different modes for all players.  Only players that benefit is the trolls.  Otherwise it cost companies customers.

    Doesn't mean I or anyone else has to buy it if that is the direction they want the game to go in.  Whose money are they more concerned on losing mine or someone elses.  I have been a Rockstar fan for a long time.  They can change that with some really bad decisions. 

  6. It really depends on what the online format is.  If it's toxic like I have seen on other games.  I have Zero interest.  I want a game that I can play with my son and not saying it needs to be rated G, but with what I experienced just in the last couple of years.  Players of all ages really poor sports at all online games.

    From October 2013 to May 2015 if I was on my Xbox I was more often than not playing Grand Theft Auto Online, I enjoyed it but the main reason I played it was because Red Dead Redemption's Multiplayer had started to deteriorate rapidly and Rockstar gave next to no information about whether they would, could or wanted to get RDR's Multiplayer working again so I was forced to switch over to GTA Online.

    I was most looking forward to Free Roam and at first I assumed GTA Online to be like GTA IV's Multiplayer and RDR's Multiplayer as all three can be put under the category of "third-person multiplayer shooter" and that's what I was looking forward to but unlike GTA IV's Multiplayer and RDR's Multiplayer where players can improve their gun skill with practise to defeat other players GTA Online makes guns useless, military tanks and jets are easily accessible and little to no effort is needed to wipe out a lobby in GTA Online especially with all the high tech military weapons, gear and vehicles that have been flowing into GTA Online following the success of the GTA Online Heists Update.

    I accept that Grand Theft Auto isn't meant to be realistic and I think it's over the top action and crazy vehicles among other things is what makes the Grand Theft Auto Series great but I really feel there has been a major shift with the kind of updates GTA Online has received, it's almost like Rockstar won't put out an update unless it's got a weaponized vehicle in it. GTA Online feels more like a third-person Battlefield game nowadays.

    Another issue I have is that Rockstar don't seem to want to fix things that obviously don't work in GTA Online, there are countless wall breach glitches as well Passive Mode which I've seen mostly being used to attack or grief other players and I know many players use it because they just wanna drive around in peace but players were able to do that in GTA IV's Freeroam and RDR's Freeroam by means of a Friendly Freeroam which I think worked perfectly fine in both games.

    YodaMan and others have mentioned the toxicity present in GTA Online, I think for some reason or another people feel they have more to lose if they die in GTA Online than if they died in GTA IV or RDR and I also think there's a higher level of competitiveness in GTA Online. I'm sure we've all come across the Bulletproof Helmet wearing tryhard that kills themselves constantly to protect their precious K/D Ratio or the sweaty pilot who is only seen out of Passive Mode when they're strafing you in their jet and although players like this do ruin the game for many in my opinion they're only there because Rockstar allows them to be there, Rockstar enables them by refusing to tweak game mechanics or fix in game exploits.

    My hope is that with Red Dead Online Rockstar not only listens to the feedback they've got from GTA Online but actively listens to feedback they get from Red Dead Online regarding bugs and game mechanics after it drops.

    It's not just GTA5.  I see this in more and more in games.   It seems to draw certain players that enjoy griefing and the industry seems to want to make them happy.  To me I am a customer to and if I am not happy, I won't be buying games.  Considering that EA and Ubisoft has made my list for supporting this kind of thing.  Rockstar remembers the good ol days of RDR.

    Delays happen all the time with games and really who is surprised they did it? There was nothing set in terms of a date which was a smart move by them. 

    For a new company, maybe delays should or could be expected.  Seriously though.  Rockstar should be above this by  now.  We were expecting it last fall and in the end it is a 1 year delay.  It appears that they are trolling us more then anything else.

    Did they actually give a reason why it was delayed? Like a legit reason? I feel like the first one was because they were in over their heads but now, I really don't know what it could be. 

    In the history of Rockstar games, there always seems to be delays.  Is it usually worth it.  Yes, but by this point they should know what needs done and not have these delays.

  10. My recent views on the gaming industry have changed since I was a kid.    Yet since the days of PONG! the games always seemed to be about getting the best game out that you could.  Rarely was I ever disappointed.  Then I GTA5 came out, great game, loved the campaign and I have played it I can't tell you how much.   Online, I got tired of the toxicity and griefing pretty quick.  I got the Division and that game was about toxicity and griefing.  Since it seems that is the way the industry has been leading and from what leaks I have heard RDR2 seems to be heading down the same road.

    Now like most of you I have been wanting this game since I loaded RDR in my console.  I couldn't wait for it.  Rumors out that it was on the table, yet Rockstar never said a word.  Even now they are very reluctant with what they say.  As much as I would prefer it to be more like the original, I have a feeling it will be more of what I don't like then what I do.   Maybe my expectations are too high, though I did read somewhere that they were expecting to focus more on extending the story as much as they do online, but only time will tell.

    Based on what happened to GTA V I'd say the chances are much lower this time of any single-player DLC especially if they intend to use the online mode in RDR2 in a similar fashion.

    I would of course like them to do something like this where they can extend the base game or even introduce a new separate experience using the same engine as a standalone title e.g. RDR2: The Great Expedition or something similar.

    If they give it the GTA 5 treatment, that just means I am less likely to buy it.  I like GTA 5, just the online part got old quick.  Too much trolling and griefing in my opinion.  Not a fan of that.

  12. Rockstar doesn't usually repeat the same thing over.  I did really enjoy the DLC and it was a great spin off of the original story.  I would love them to at least continue from where Seth digs up Marston's body to see what craziness that old guy could stir up.  Yet that would kind of be repeating what has already been done.

  13. I have always bought Rockstar games for the single player and then enjoyed the mulit-player to an extent.  GTA5 was the 1st where I had doubts, cause I took a long break to play other games cause the MP wasn't always able to handle the number of players that wanted to play.  It took forever to finally to get signed in.  Then cause some friends were playing it, I was sure I will try.  I found myself having to run and rerun the easy missions making almost no cash, so many players were just flying over and blowing us up if we tried to do any mission worth doing.  Only time I had fun, was I met some guys in there while I was running a mission and they flew over me the whole time, taking out anyone who came close to me.  Later on they added me to their friends lists and we ran a few missions.  Talking to them, they admitted normally they would have started bombing me, but they got bored and used me as bait to take out other players that would come too close.   So the guy who comes in at 1st level, that was me.   And much as I enjoy GTA, I rather play the campaign then play online.
