I mostly just stick with customized versions of the default gunslinger (Arthur) and Cowboy (John) outfits. Sometimes I'll wear the more wacky head wear from time to time just to hear the reactions from the gang, though.

No, he's referring to the Borchardt C93, which becomes unlocked in gun stores after the mission "The Joys of Civilization".

The fifth season was the last really great one, but it isn't by any means a bad show as of the last (ninth) season. With the exception of season 7 (which was pretty boring save for the first and last episodes, IMO), I'd put it in the "good" to "pretty good" area. Anyway, that was really just a joke on my part, not an attempt to start discussing TWD here. I'm fairly sure I'm the only zombie genre fanatic here right at the moment. So by all means, everyone, ignore me and go back to discussing all the games and thrones. 😊

Walkers? Don't worry, Rick Grimes will handle that situation.

Like a good neighbor, Rockstar is there!

The genre isn't an issue, I'm a big fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan and Kull stories which fall under the same sword and sorcery genre and I've been wanting Ubisoft to make a Conan game using Assassin's Creed as a template for years. Maybe it's just a matter of Westeros being a completely fictional realm in comparison to the Hyborian and Thurian Ages being fictional epochs in our Earth's prehistory even if the science there is a little iffy. It's honestly hard to remember exactly why the show didn't click due to it having been so long ago now.

That just goes back to what I said about it being the writer's story to tell, that writer just wasn't GRRM this time. Making a TV show out of an ongoing book or comic series, especially something that's going to be as expensive a production as GoT, is always risky because the TV show is almost certainly going to end before the original publication, resulting in either unresolved plot points or a show-exclusive conclusion. I wonder if the producers considered asking GRRM to aid in writing the final season? Or did they do that and he declined? But the notion that HBO is going to remake the final season is absolutely bonkers, though. I can just imagine the bean counters at HBO, or whatever company owns HBO, looking at that demand and thinking, "Are these people crazy?"

Is there anything solid out there to suggest a new Bully is being made? At this point, it's beginning to look like Rockstar's own counterpart to Half-Life 3.

If it doesn't, don't open your front door.

And we have another spammer. Reported, of course. And mentioned here, by me. I deserve to pat myself on the back every once in a while.😋

That petition is ridiculous. It's ultimately the writer's story to tell and we're just along for the ride. Speaking as someone who likes to write, I'm totally open to constructive criticism, but anyone who tries to outright dictate how a story I'm telling unfolds knows where they can go.

Appreciate you guys dealing with that last round of spam.

Yeah, some of the stuff on that list takes the realism aspect too far in a game that some argue is already too realistic, though that's a debate for another topic. I find it funny that he acknowledges using the Volcanic pistol even though it's rare, but mentions the Springfield M1903, FN-Browning 1903 (I'm assuming he means the same "Hi-Power Pistol" from RDR1 and not the Browning Hi-Power, which would be an even more hideous anachronism), and Luger P08 having been planned in a previous entry. I'm not totally up to square on the development of the FN-Browning off the top of my head, but the Springfield wasn't even prototyped until 1900, the year after the Arthur's portion of the game is set. The Luger was designed in 1898, but I don't think it would have been easily attainable in 1899 even if it was commercially available by that time. Or maybe Arthur had access to the same time machine that the MACV-SOG troops in CoD: Black Ops had which allowed them to get guns that didn't exist yet, I don't know. Still, it would have been funny to see Miss Grimshaw knock Karen out, though. 🤣

I saw the first episode when it premiered. Didn't click and I never watched it again.

Yeah, AFAIK, the stone hatchet is the only unattainable one. In fact, I don't think it even has a slot in the compendum unless you actually have it.

I would have loved to see that.

Interesting, never noticed this. I'll have to check it out.

Yeah, they aren't going to change this just because you don't want to start the Compendium over again.

Have to go with the original God of War.

Well, USSOCOM had recently adopted the Remington MSR as their Precision Sniper Rifle and promptly dropped the entire platform after only receiving the first shipment of rifles due to accuracy being piss poor compared to the test units. For the average joe, Remington might be fine, but I tend to judge quality on the platform being used hard. Still, if I were in the market for a shotgun, I'd favor Mossberg, or if I had cash to splurge a Benelli, right now. But each to their own. If you're confident in a Remington, I hope it serves you long and well. 😊 On the topic of old west firearms, am I the only one bothered by the fact that both RDR and RDR2 treat the Henry repeater as an upgrade over the Winchester? IRL, it was very much the opposite with the first prototype Winchester repeater being a modified Henry. 😕

The guide says you can only get them when killing the gunslinger. It doesn't mention anything about if you can do it by replaying the mission. Might be something to try and report back on. I can't because I already have all of them. The only special guns that I'm aware can be acquired after the fact are Micah's revolver and the angry hermit's double barrel shotgun, the latter because he seems to respawn after being killed as I specifically remember killing him and leaving the shotgun only to come back again later and have him come charging out at me again in my most recent playthrough.

Haven't tried with RDR2, but have with other games in the past and it never worked.

Who says we're friends? I don't know you. But we can be if you send me a $50 PSN currency code via PM. How about it, wanna be friends?😐

Don't worry, we won't haze you too cruelly.

The war horse I got as a pre-order with the standard edition had such low stats that I named it Uncle the Horse in my first playthrough (in my second and current "main" game, I never bothered redeeming it from the stable). I named the horse I got from the Valentine stable on the mission with Hosea, Silver, which I admit is kind of lame but I couldn't come up with anything else. I named my Missouri Foxtrotter (I think it's called) I bought with John, Arthur as a tribute to him. I had another horse in one playthrough that I named Nell, but changed it after I found out Uncle's horse was named Nell II. My other two horses, Rachel and Buell, still have their default names, and I currently have one empty stable slot that I haven't filled. I'm trying to find that tiger-striped wild mustang in Rio Bravo, but have had no luck.
