I'm currently playing The Division 2 like @BropolloCreed79 but it's all about co-op for me. Just taking a little break from RDR2 for now but I will be revisiting the game every now and again especially after updates.

Yeah, there were some elements I recall that I liked. .......not enough to get me over the rest of the things I hated about the game though. It's the first game in a long time I decided to rush through simply so I could uninstall it.

Ubisoft. .......but if you were upset by RDR2 being a restrictive open world, might want to think twice about FC5 or at least do your research first. Personally, I thought it was the worst game in the franchise on several levels but that's not to say that you won't like it. For me, it was the lacking end-game, atrocious flight controls, forced capture sequences and progress, weapon balance, lack of weapons (several variants of the same guns), weapon stats that make no sense, AI, lack of scalable difficulty with coop (not enough enemies or difficulty), etc., etc.

Might want to contact R* Support about it. Could be a glitch if you;re sure the money was there. Who knows, maybe they have a way to tell through some historicla data they have access to. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.129590668.1041459884.1552664563-1719606522.1525287356

I think Bethesda realizes now what a mistake it was to force this change of direction on their longtime fans. It really hurt the series reputation and trust some folks had in them to deliver a true Fallout experience IMO. Personally, I think they should have focused on the SP and went with just co-op for the MP element. I think more people would have been way more receptive to that as they could then share the story with friends. I know my group of PSN folks I play with would have been all over it. Personally, Fallout is not the kind of game I necessarily want to experience with randoms.

Yeah, they caught a lot of flak from fans for departing from their usual formula but stuck to their guns to the end.

Ahhh..... Yeah, I see.

What do you mean? A PS+ subscription is essentially the same thing as an XBox Live subscription.

I would have suggested you did a little research before pulling that trigger but what's done is done..... In short, it is the 5th installment of the Fallout series but a departure from the gameplay you may be used to in the previous titles. ....and I hope you're sitting down for the next bit of news but this one is online. I don't believe there is any offline component to the game and I know you may not have a PS+ account. I won't even get into any of the problems and controversies surround this latest iteration of the franchise but you may want to dig around a bit.

Why not?

He said he's feeling better about the game and is actually enjoying it now.

Free Roam is just as much about adversarial gameplay as it is cooperative or solo. .....and in all fairness it is also about what folks personally expect from the game which is why R* wants to hear everyone's feedback regardless of marketing, etc. They never said the game would be only a co-op or solo experience but they did however talk about delivering gameplay balance which includes the various forms of playstyles. Personally, I think R* has been at least trying to deliver on what they promised while trying to make it fun for folks on both PvP/PvE fans. Whether they can pull that off is another matter. I agree with @Savage_Reaper that some will never be 100% happy with the direction of the game. For me, aside from the lack of content at the moment, I like the new changes and I think with some tweaks, additions and more time it will ultimately be a pretty fun with something for everyone. ......and I'm a co-op / solo kind of player.

Everyone has opinions on what they are looking for in the game and I certainly can't blame people for providing their feedback to R* when they are practically begging people to do so. Currently, there is one mode and there are no guarantees that there will be private session options. Personally, all I wanted was some balance. .....consequences and risk for those who choose to grief others. Although some keep beating that drum, I never asked for a sterile environment and while there may be exceptions to that, I think many others feel the same way I do. ......and then there are those that don't. If these threads are common then it obvious to me that the topic is a concern for many. If some feel annoyed by them I'd rather see people not respond or use the ignore feature rather than belittle each other with the typical "git gud", "go play the campaign", "grow a pair" and other remarks I see. .....that gets pretty old too you know. I would think we are all better than that. The fact is that griefing was a big complaint R* received which is why the last TU was essentially focused on trying to help mitigate that. Personally, I think it was a good step forward because it introduced consequences for indiscriminate killing of others (proximity blips, parleys after one kill, parleys that affect entire posses, bounties penalties, blip range penalties, etc.). However, I recognize that there were also downsides like bounties placed on those that defend themselves and daily challenges that essentially encourage and reward random attacks. IMO, I think it's quite clear R* wants RDO to be a one size fits all solution so in answer to @Netnow66, I think that's precisely what they are trying to deliver on. They can;t get rid of griefer entirely nor the PvP element. That is as much part of RDO as PvE is. It's going to take some time to develop a balance that works for most and who knows, maybe they'll never really get it right, but I believe it's obvious that is their goal.

Kinda mixed on it to be honest. If they do, then I hope they also make other types of DLCs as well.

Just in case some may not know, limited items will also be in a rotation and will pop up from time to time. .....but yeah, although it's not my cup of tea, cosmetic items are really popular with a lot of gamers which is just fine with me. I actually appreciate that folks buy these types of things because it really benefits us all.

I know..... It was just an attempt at humor on my part. Forgot the winky. The gunplay and tactics in R* games are typically quite arcadey and rely heavily on aids. It's always been more about the overall experience with them, the story telling, atmosphere, etc. GTA and RDR are essentially the only games I will usually use auto aim in as I find free aim a bit awkward and not as fulfilling in that regard as say other TPV titles. If they had a free aim session option in RDO though, I'd actually make and effort to use it.

Here's a link to the thread @jnaron_ngc mentioned btw:

You don't need to be good at shooting as auto aim takes care of that for you. You just need to make sure you position yourself properly so you don't get overrun and be quick to take care of the most immediate threats. .....and always shoot from cover when possible, watch for incoming reinforcements, etc. RDR in this regard is more like a game of checkers than chess.

Hi @jalbaugh24 and welcome to the forums. The fact is that no one knows yet whether there will be a UN2 DLC this time around or not. There has been no news if one up to this point but rest assured that either myself or someone else will post about it here in this forum if that changes.

I also post update news in this forum in individual threads like thus: We also now have an update reference thread that is pinned at the top of the forum that includes links to these threads here:

Ahhh.... I think I know what you're talking about now. Yeah, I heard they patched it out. I'm not against using certain tricks mind you (depending on what they are used for). I still use the MTU setting to force myself into sessions alone in GTAO. Was disappointed it wouldn't work in RDO though.

As some may know, I typically create a thread whenever R* announces a new update for RDO. Since updates may possibly coming out weekly now, I thought about taking another moderators advice and making a consolidated reference thread. However, instead of compiling all the update, promo and news info in one thread, this one will have links to each of the individual ones that folks can use for reference. I will still post individual threads on these announcements where discussions can take place, etc. but I will no longer pin them. Instead I will update this one (which I will pin & lock) with links to each of the threads. Hope folks find this useful. Since this thread will be locked, please message me if you have any questions about it. List of R* OFFICIAL UPDATEs, PROMOS and NEWS: 3/3/20 2/25/20 2/18/20 2/14/20 2/13/20 2/11/20 2/4/20 1/28/20 1/21/20 1/14/20 1/7/20 12/23/19 12/19/19 12/16/19 12/13/19 12/10/19 12/3/19 12/3/19 11/27/19 11/26/19 11/25/19 11/19/19 11/14/19 11/12/19 11/6/19 11/5/19 11/4/19 10/29/19 10/22/19 10/15/19 10/9/19 10/8/19 10/1/19 9/27/19 9/24/19 9/17/19 9/10/19 9/3/19 8/27/19 8/20/19 8/13/19 8/6/19 8/2/19

Foxtrot pretty much summed it up. btw, why do you think people will hate you? They may not agree with your points (I know I don't) but that doesn't mean we hate you. Makes no difference to me if someone doesn't like a game that I enjoy or vice versa.

There is no private session option in RDO. ......unless you're talking about an exploit.

Could be but it also may be that it just doesn't work that way. I wish I could find that other thread. Even the "experts" couldn't give a straight answer as to how the block feature worked in this sense. ....and btw, it shows me quoted in your post when that was actually Renascent's reply.
