  1. As would be accurately assumed by my avatar, I loved Undead Nightmare and would buy UN2 in a heartbeat. But do I think there will be one? Not likely, since RD Online is bound to rake in buttloads of money and the success of the online component is why the GTA V story DLC originally announced in 2014 never came to be. Why expend that effort for a one-time purchase when you can use it to continually milk your player base for revenue?
  2. I work on a two strike system. Strike one: grounded Strike two: I ship you off to Africa where you become a child soldier. Only one kid so far has struck out twice and I'm fairly certain he's the guy leading Boko Harem now.
  3. Instagram and YouTube are eclipsing it in use and popularity. Same thing happened to MySpace when Facebook entered the picture and, in turn, the same thing happened to Facebook when Twitter came about. Now it's Twitter's turn to ride off into the sunset of obsolescence.
  4. Probably because the forum is literally named after the game. I mentioned on a DC forum how the DCEU is practically falling apart and one poster blew up and started verbally attacking me. I'm guessing maybe that's what the OP was expecting, a forum full of fanboys thinking the game is above any negative criticism.
  5. So you're regularly running off and leaving your horse. That sounds like your doing rather than any fault of the game. Why don't Pearson's customization options count as customizing the camp? Sounds to me like you're upset that you have to actually work for them instead of being spoon fed them. Okay, you weren't referring to horse, but I pose the same question: what real need is there in putting animals on a cart? Exactly how far into the epilogue are you?
  6. I like my clock. It has Minions on it. Why do I have to change it? 😧
  7. You can customize and upgrade the camp in quite a few ways, just talk to Pearson and check the ledger. Considering you're part of an outlaw gang that's on the run and trying to make enough money to disappear for most of the game, buying land just seems counterproductive to me. Putting a horse in a wagon seems unnecessary to me, too. If you have to leave your horse behind during a mission, the game always teleports it to your location after completion. And if you need to ditch it for a wagon during free roam, just whistle and the horse will follow behind you to your destination. Always keeping stocked with horse reviver pretty well prevents you from losing it during gunfights and falls and, even on the occasion that you do, you're rarely that far from a road where you can jack one from a passerby pretty easily. And even if you could load a horse in a wagon, missions and other activities would still require you to leave said wagon and the horse in it behind, completely nullifying the supposed advantage.
  8. You haven't given "countless" examples, you've given an arbitrary percentage ("80% of things") and one specific example (putting animals on carts). That's it.
  9. I would say, just be glad any liberal politics being pushed is done as subtley as it is (honestly, I would have never noticed the suffragette NPC missing if it hadn't been mentioned here), because everywhere else practically beats you to death about it and won't let you escape. And speaking up about it gets you labeled as racist, homophobic, or misogynistic.
  10. I found a knife stabbed into the mantle above the fireplace inside the cabin at Robard Farm. It isn't highlighted in dead eye, but it glimmers like other such weapons that can be acquired, like the antler knife.
  11. There's been a lot of speculation over the years on whether or not Red Dead Revolver is canon to RDR and RDR2. Well, I just encountered a stranger at a camp (you know, one of the rare ones that don't threaten to shoot you if you get too close...) in Hennigan's Stead about a stone's throw west of the legendary bison's map doodle, we conversed and he said he used to be a bounty hunter, how it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and then went on to talk about Red Harlow (mentioning him by name) and his quest for revenge in Revolver. Looks like it's confirmed now.

  12. A little disappointed the Evans didn't make it into story mode. 😒
  13. In Rockstar's defense, they never really recovered fully from the Hot Coffee scandal (though I think the reaction to it was way overblown), so I can totally understand them feeling that way. Just don't start watching Supergirl. That show will literally beat you to death with liberal politics.
  14. Yeah, it's no biggie. It's like telling someone Claire and Leon escaped at the end of RE2, still vague enough to not really affect the telling of the story.
  15. Yeah, that captures it perfectly. Let's see if anyone else out there has seen it and has any ideas.
  16. I had a pretty easy time with most of them being caught on the first or second cast. The Musky near Van Horn and the Lake Sturgeon west of Saint Denis were the only ones I had difficulty hooking, the latter only because I kept getting knocked off the bridge by trains while trying to catch it. I haven't played RDR2 again yet to put these tips to test on the salmon, but I will soon.
  17. Ah, I see. I haven't actually completed that mission yet, so I wasn't aware. Right now, I'm having trouble getting the salmon in Lake Isabella.
  18. I recently noticed that a strange light appears inside the schoolhouse at Fort Riggs. Yes, my first thought was graphical glitch, too, but I've been back on different nights and viewed it from different angles, yet the light still appears. In addition, approaching too close causes the light to disappear, but it will immediately return if I move away a certain distance. The above image is as close as I could get without it going out and viewing it through the binoculars or a rifle scope causes it to disappear, too. I wonder if it has anything to do with the feather icon that appears over Fort Riggs on the map after talking to a certain NPC?
  19. He always looks like this when I go to the area as John. I'm kind of afraid he's going to eat my brains.
  20. I guess everybody just has their own tolerance level for this kind of stuff, because, for me personally, RDR2 never felt like it was pushing any liberal politics to an invasive level.
  21. Any tips on catching this thing? I've only been able to catch regular fish and it's frustrating me to no end.
  22. According to the guide, after catching all the legendary fish and sending them to the angler, you then get an invitation to meet him down in New Austin and you two catch the Channel Catfish together.
  23. When did they say there would never be a GTA 6?
  24. I'm not that knowledgeable on US politics of the period IRL to know if the game is an accurate representation, but nothing in the game came off as trying to push any so-called liberal agenda to me. If there was, I certainly didn't notice it. You encounter a total of three female outlaws that could be considered gunslingers in the entire game (Sadie, Karen, Black Belle, and one that's part of a random encounter ambush), so if Rockstar was trying to push gender equality (at least, beyond a neutral level), I would think you'd find more like them all over the game world on a regular basis. As for the French guy being a cross dresser and possibly transgendered, I don't think that's the case as he even said he was only dressed as a woman to escape Saint Denis. I'm not really sure what to think of "Margaret", though I lean more toward it being an act. The guy clearly has daddy issues, that's for sure. I also doubt any of the commentary on US politics in the game was directed at Trump simply because Trumpism became a thing rather late in the game's development. And the US was a fairly xenophobic place at the turn of the 20th century, and Rockstar is pretty well known for satirizing all sides equally. One thing you have to consider about the Van Der Linde gang's progressive tendencies, though, is that every one of them are looked upon with the same ill regard as Indians and minorities simply because they prefer to remain outside the accepted social constraints of civilization. They really can't afford to be picky in that regard. I'm no SJW, either. In fact, I'm about as politically incorrect as they come without being racist, xenophobic, or misogynistic (I hold no such discriminatory attitudes). My beefs with the left and the SJW crowd are the constant attempts to police language and simply how unfair and hypocritical the social favoritism shown toward minorities, women, and LBGTQs these days is, but I digress. I just don't see RDR2's progressive elements being shoehorned in at all.
  25. I used to buy third-party controllers, but the one-piece directional pad (as opposed to the four separate buttons on Sony ones) was always extremely detrimental to me.
