The_Liquor

Yeah... as much fun as I occasionally have playing these online games, I’d give it all up in a second if we could go back to having regular releases of kick ass single player games like the good old days...

Honestly, I’ve never found the servers all that bad other than a few days some time in the past... they seemed to fix it. Granted, I haven’t played in a while, so things could be bad now and I wouldn’t know... second, I’ve spent $5 or so on micro transactions, to buy the special one time offer of gold bars. So I don’t feel like I’m being ‘charged out the ass’ on micro transactions... I doubt this is the type of situation that calls for mass refunds or class action lawsuits or the likes. But I can get how having a series of disconnects can be very frustrating. Bet even when I’ve been disconnected the odd time in the past I’m pretty sure I’ve only lost a few pelts and the likes, nothing to go panicking about.

Like I said, it’d never happen. But if it did, I’d pay full new release price for it. I’m sure many others would.

I agree it’ll likely never happen, but I would love if they completely remade RDR1 as a continuation of RDR2 with all the new stuff thrown in. It would be fun.

I have a feeling that more of the unsavoury criminal activities will start making appearances after the next major update sometime.... maybe with the next set of paths... but I don’t see heists in the same sense as GTA

I still think people complain to much. It is just a game after all, not a world changing treaty or piece of legislation... But that’s just me. I find it fun to dabble in now. I anticipate having a blast after the summer update comes and the -40 weather keeps me confined to the basement more often. That’s all I can really ask out of a $60 piece of entertainment software.

Well, Not that I overly dislike the game as is, but life got in the way a little for me and it’s just not worth making the extra time until I have something new to do. So in my case, the longer they draw it out, the longer I stay away from my basement. And the longer it is before I even consider the possibility of buying any gold bars to get some must have cool sh*t that I just can’t be bothered to grind for... But I do believe your hunch is right. We’ll likely be waiting two or three more weeks.

I like the mauser. But, going semi-auto just takes a little something of the flavour away from the game for me...

Yeah, I agree. I’d much rather have a menu item I never use, than be forced to work my way through content I don’t want to play to get at the content I do want to play (showdown series anyone?).

I went LeMatts and never went back myself...

Second one in less than two years for me... I’ve been a zombie for a while now lol

Personally, I’m not even turning the game on until the summer update comes out. Good timing since it’s summer, I have a brand new baby and I want to get out of the basement. I haven’t been around here much either though, so for that I feel a little bad lol.

I’m of the opinion that Dunsworth played the best chronically drunk antagonist of all time... Unfortunately, actors can die, but The Liquor is immortal (and possibly immoral, depending who you ask). as for the newsbot thing, I just kind of found it funny that the articles always seems to post right in the middle of the discussion thread. Not a criticism exactly.

But... I like my tacky whole snake... mostly because it’s tacky and hideous though, so I see your point.

Is it just me, or does @NewsBot always seem to be way behind with the articles around here? Lol

I jumped on ‘my’ horse a while back and got called a horse thief. Turns out I had jumped on an NPC horse that looked a lot like mine. I realized when I accidentally whistled when trying to open my satchel and my trusty steed came running after me. I figured since I was already accused of horse thievery I might as well make a couple runs of double sturgeon to the butcher.

Not a bad idea. Also something likely to take shape down the road I think.

Honestly, passive mode is a tool employed by griefers quite effectively. I’d rather not give them the tools myself. I personally like the defensive mode. You know your still vulnerable, but it’s just that much harder to get the drop on you. You also know you can’t fully trust someone in defensive mode, because they just might be a snake and be trying to get the drop on you. With the radar blips the way they are now, the game is relatively griefer free, without being completely gutted of the PVP elements in free roam... @Netnow66, I believe your definition of griefing is just an extreme one, where anything another player may do that impacts you in the slightest is griefing... I just can’t get behind that kind of idea for this game.

I use borderline derogatory language frequently... As one of my basic training instructor put it all those years ago... ‘the army taught me how to do three things very well. Drink, smoke and swear.’

I rode the red chestnut since day 1 (my day 1 anyway). It took ages to bond. But for the longest time I was resetting to level one bonding constantly, so I can’t say if it takes longer or not...

The 5 cents is worth it. Kill them. Or, just let them rob you I suppose. This situation isn’t griefing in itself... but it could easily turn into griefing if either party decides to take it overboard.

That would be more thieving than poaching... poaching is what you’re doing loading your horse with as many dead animals as you can and stuffing your satchel full of fish lol. honestly, it’s annoying. But fits more in the line of being a thieving outlaw than riding around and murdering people for no particular reason. I’d just stop them, myself. Either with my fists or my guns, situation dependant. And if they get the upper hand and get away with my stuff, oh well. They won fair and square (assuming they don’t just make it into an excuse to grief you endlessly. Then they’re just being di*ks)

Just to be picky... if the 7.62 round missed Johnny Taliban completely, but he got so scared he keeled over from a heart attack, he’d likely fall off the back of the galloping horse as well LOL... it’s the physics of the galloping horse more than the bullet... Sorry, I’m just kind of teasing now.

Yeah, I saved this. Much better than trying to have it all memorized or relying on the i game map illusion

It has been a while, but wasn’t the donkey the default in RDR1? I can’t remember, but I do recall several gunfights while riding around on one in free roam...
