From what I understand, it only disables achievements for the session that you had used cheats in. Saves are also disabled so your only option is to reload one of your previous saves when starting a new session. ......again, from what I had read on the subject. I never used them in this game so I never confirmed. I'm sure someone will chime in soon though who knows for sure.

That's on IGN if they somehow deceived you into buying a game you thought they reviewed unfairly. .....but without a link to the review you're referencing, I couldn't even comment any further on it. I would suggest providing a link if you wish to discuss this point further. ....so, you're upset about the ending of the story and are unhappy with your purchase in part because of that? I'm not sure what you mean here. As for the price of the game, the campaign alone was worth it IMO. RDR2 was on par and/or more robust than other SP games out there. Tons of content, huge map, long story, etc. .....but yeah, that depends on the individual. RDR isn't the kind of game for everyone. I'm not sure what to say on this one. You can't play online at all? Just to clarify, their Support page is not down. It was working fine when I provided the links and is today when I checked. The issue is that you cannot access it on your end. Have you thought about any of these issues possibly being a problem due to your location, service or because of the region you are in? Where are you located btw? As for warning others not to buy the game due to your own disappointment of the campaign and connectivity issues, that's your choice but we are here to try and help if you can fill us in. Someone around here may be in the same area or had the same issue, etc. that may know the answer

I agree with Foxtrot. Also, whether some folks will agree with it or not, R* has repeatedly sold RDO as a continuation of the SP campaign. Online is essentially the continuing story but this time instead of playing through what is basically scripted characters, RDO is about you in the RDR2 game world. As for John Marsten's story, its told through RDR1. I don't expect that they will release any DLC for the campaign but one never knows. We may see another Undead addition or something similar.

I stuck with Schofields just because....

Ah, I remember those days. I actually cut the cord on TV when I noticed we hadn't picked up the cable box remote in over 12 months when we had our kid. It took all we could just to get a good night's rest during that first year or two especially while working full time with a long commute. ....forget about having time for games. I don't miss those days although it's all worth it in the end.

First, I would never allow a random to approach me in Free Roam. Doesn't matter what I am doing. If I'm trying to avoid contact with randoms I will leave and use Defensive Mode (DM) to my advantage. Second, DM isn't a passive mode and was never intended to be used as such. It's simply provides players a bit of an advantage to help evade and/or retaliate against aggressors. Using it like you're immune to attacks or assuming others are going to treat you with respect is only going to lead to disappointment and frustration. Ethical norms? RDO is a one-mode, PvEvP experience. That's not changing anytime soon and (for now) it doesn't appear they will be introducing any sort of PvE only option. As such, the risk of being killed by randoms will likely always exist in this game on some level. I agree with @Saffron in the sense that if you don't agree with a game maker or a titles "ethical standards", simply don't purchase or play the product. Find one that supports the standards you prefer to play by. ......but, you can also look at it another way and see where R* is heading with this title. Sure, they are really pushing for an all inclusive, one-mode experience with Free Roam, but they have also been taking an interesting tack with RDO that you don't see with GTAO. They have listened to the community and (for example) are introducing ways to help mitigate griefing and IMO, it has helped. .....as long as you still do your part. In the Summer Update, we can look forward to new roles that will also include ways for people to bounty hunt which apparently includes going after aggressive players. DM is also supposed to receive a buff to make it harder for griefers to kill you. RDO is an evolving game and the experience will change as new features are introduced (including those that mitigate griefing). However, for those looking for an absolutely sterile, no risk experience when it comes to interactions with others, R* has made it clear that is not their goal in Free Roam. ....and they have no interest in introducing private or invite-only sessions at this time. Either way, R* has made a lot of progress on mitigating the griefing issue IMO / IME but a lot still depends on the individual. You have to make an effort if your goal is to avoid trolling by randoms. Simple things like spawning into the game world in one region and immediately relocating 2-3 states away (since spawns usually put you in an area clumped together with others). .....or taking precautions when riding into town, etc. Simply playing with others can help a lot in this sense (covering each others back). Personally, (unlike GTAO) I'm happy with the direction R* is taking RDO including their handling of unprovoked attacks by other players in relation to gameplay balance. There is much more to come and the game will certainly evolve as new features are introduced and players have new tasks, roles, businesses, etc. to keep them busy. Some will never like RDO or R*'s vision and that's fine. I don't like some games or developers either but then again, I tend to avoid them. btw, if you don't know already, you can provide your feedback directly to R* via their website. Several of the changes they have made so far have been a direct result of this input so I would encourage anyone dissatisfied with an element in the game, offering a suggestion, approval, etc. should submit their feedback via this link.

Depends if you go by astronomical or meteorological. Technically, part of Sept can still be part of Summer depending on who you ask. I'll wager R* uses the solstice and equinox dates as I mentioned earlier. .....astronomical start and end dates.

....so in other words, the Summer Update may not release until closer to the end of Summer which is Sept 23rd which (quite frankly) shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Unless they reveal some new information on a concrete date, the only safe assumption is that it will release sometime before Summer officially ends. If it comes sooner, great. Personally, I never expected it to come sooner but certainly hope it would. In the meantime, I simply keep myself busy with other titles until the release. ....and then I'll likely switch back to RDO as being my main title that I play for a while.

No problem. Summer ends mid-Sept so yeah, I would expect to see it sometime up to that point.

Yeah, I loved GRW and it was probably one of the most fun co-op experiences I had in a very long time. We loved the fact that it was lethal for both the player and the enemy. No over the top, mingun wielding, heavily armored humans, etc., etc. Sure, there were problems but we enjoyed being able to play the game our way. ....which was typically without any targeting, without drones and minimal HUD. One of the closest titles to a tactical shooter we had on console in a long time. Breakpoint doubles down on aspects that people ridiculed in GRW & the original Ghost War (PvP) like the drones. ....jokes about "drone wars", etc. Ubi says they listen and they do to an extent but I'd gladly give up bloused boots and fence breaching to get rid of the tiered loot, leveling of weapons, silly tech, classes in PvE, more spongy enemies, etc. They obviously have made mistakes they essentially admitted to when they made the announcement to add back the team AI and getting rid of the class limitations on weapons. ....both of which they caught flak for. Their biggest error was combining PvP with PvE IMO as it basically brought those stupid elements into the solo / co-op game those folks never wanted. .....totally out of touch IMO.

Please keep recruiting / seeking posse threads in the Posse Recruitment forum. You've already got one thread searching for members for your posse and there are plenty of others looking for members as well. Thanks.

??????????????

I like the idea that they tried to tone down the "over the top" gameplay in PvP but it's still very much a twitch shooter. They would be idiots if they didn't continue to cater to that audience. I'm not big on twitch shooters but the hardcore mode (Realism TDM) and co-op (SpecOps) may interest me. They did mention that the co-op will be a bigger part of the game this time around as there is no zombie mode and that effort is being thrown all into SpecOps. Again, not really interested in campaigns that are on rails which this seems it will be. There's really no replay value in them for me and they are usually quite short. It was also confirmed that the campaign will be about as long as past ones which means there isn't much to look forward to IMO. I'm also looking at Ghost Recon Breakpoint but hate the direction they are taking this one in the franchise. .....drones, killer robot tanks, heavily armored baddies, etc. played the online technical test and was not impressed. ....but I'll try the beta and make a decision from there. In the meantime I have been playing GTAO (the new Casino update and heists I never finished) as well as DayZ. .....loving the new private server option in that. Can't wait to hear more news on the 2019 release of Insurgency Sandstorm though. That will be my new PvP kick depending on how it goes for the console release. Finally, a tactical shooter with some decent hardocre / realism elements.

Stuff happens. Maybe they are working on something in the background that affected the spawns or......? If it persists, I'd recommend submitting a trouble ticket to R* Support.

Hi Chumpus and welcome to the forums. I would suggest submitting a trouble ticket through R* Support. I wouldn't assume it's something they are already working on as a known or widespread issue. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.183064737.60707467.1565291490-686848401.1565291490

Yeah..... Better quality pelts make more money but like you I prefer quantity over quality. I find herds of deer, etc. and then go to town. ....shooting as many as possible. I'll also take the better quality ones and put the whole carcasses on the back or the sides for those small game. When the meat fills up in my inventory, I stop hunting that particular animal and go for the next. Like when hunting deer, I don't keep collecting pelts when I can no longer harvest the meat. I'll switch to birds until the same thing happens with them. .....then go to the market, cash out and do it all over again. Also, hunting spots are important. There are some areas that you can farm by simply riding back and forth through them. ....and if they are less frequented by other players, that's a bonus since you will have fewer interruptions.

Why would the new roles even cost anything? I didn't get that impression at all. As for the purchase of things within the activities (if required), I'll wager that these will be in cash or both. I don't see R* locking progress like that exclusively behind a pay wall. As far as earning cash, I've never really had too much of an issue. IMO, it's never been too difficult to earn money through hunting or just playing missions, etc. to buy what I needed. .....then again, I don't waste it either on frivolous stuff. I usually keep around $1,000 on me and try to maintain that balance so I have enough cash for things I need as they come. .....but you do have to grind for it. On the other hand, I've been surprised how much I can earn when I just forget about it and play a bunch of missions / activities over a few sessions.

The MTU trick folks use in GTAO doesn't seem to work in RDO unfortunately.

Sorry it took me a little longer today to post the weekly update info. I was busy arranging spots on private servers for the DayZ update tomorrow.

I don't know. Perhaps it's an issue due to your location. I am able to access the Social Club as a well as their Customer Support. Maybe try this link to get into Support?: https://support.rockstargames.com/?_ga=2.125212682.1238459203.1565109595-1669601577.1565109595 I can't seem to find a phone # so I don't even know if they have one to offer.

Did you report the problem to R* Support like I suggested?
