Hell, I'm STILL in Chapter 2, (but over 42% completion rate) and the highest bounty I've gotten is $300. That's after murdering about 100 bounty hunters with a sweet Cheapie Maghee spot in Valentine. But it's difficult to ignore multiple reports about this. It's probably a bug, but absent a larger sample size with specific detail, it's hard to say what it is or isn't with any degree of certianty.

I upgraded this past June, and my previous Android was up to snuff, so I keep my old phone as an internet/steaming/app device (loaded with music). I had to manually update the software, but it was worth it.

especially when you can

that is not necessarily a bad thing. My wife will drift in and out of my gaming sessions whenever she needs a laugh, but otherwise she leaves well enough alone. I have no interest in Grey's Anatomy, and her gaming interest is just as fleeting.

Literally just figured that out yesterday when I was tinkering with my UI settings to set up a photo of a corpse wall comprised of O'Driscolls. I have to say, playing the game with nothing on the screen (not even a mini map) and using the companion app instead is absolutely something everyone should experience. The immersion is frightening if for no other reason than how gorgeous the game is.

Hey everyone, just a quick reminder: discussion that doesn't involve actual game play or topics directly related to it should probably go in the Off Topic forum. It's a conversation worth having, and I encourage everyone who purchased this edition to continue talking about it. I understand the argument for Ultimate Edition owners that the discussion involves the lack of items promised for game play. If you think we need a separate subforum for legitimate complaints, such as the issue described above, the 4K debacle, bugs, or glitches, please let me know, and we'll look into keeping things a bit more organized. But for now, I've moved it over here to Off Topic. Thanks!

Edit: one of the few times you'll ever see me refer to the prequels without malice.

In the future, please place topics in the appropriate forum. Discussion of other games, IPs, or completely unrelated to Red Dead Redemption 2 should be posted to "Off Topic". Thanks! And while you're there ( @jmaguire750 and @cdmcalinden) make sure you drop us a line in the "Introduce Yourself" sub.

As solid as punching a horse to induce suicide

My guess is drinks, dinner, dancing (more drinks) and a night-cap.

Trust me, they'll patch that out when RDR2O launches. Dupe gold glitches would crash the in-game economy quicker than I can down a pint of Guinness.

I'm just a regular Joe, with a regular job. I'm you're average white, suburbanite slob....

Always. ALWAYS. Relying on Autosave is like letting your idiot cousin who makes his own toothbrushes out of recycled car floor mats do your taxes.

Because of the money. The Citizens United v. FEC case really opened the floodgates for unbridled political contributions and spending. If you think back far enough to remember prior to that decision, the ads were nowhere near as bad as they were once that decision was made. Literally hundreds of millions of dollars are spent, and everyone wants a slice of the pie. Special interests have many reasons to pour money into candidates' campaigns: (1) supporting candidates with money grants access to that person once they're in office. If you want legislation supported or blocked, you can leverage your donations to influence the lawmaker. (2) Favorable legislation in many industries, including deregulation, can have economic ramifications of BILLIONS of dollars. Drug companies. Arms manufacturers. Special Interests (Big Oil, the NRA, Banking/Investment firms, etc) all stand to gain from favorable legislation. Another part of it is people need to feel like they belong to something. Anymore, everyone has this false sense of connection because of the ubiquity of the Internet. It's a shallow imitation of real life interaction and relationships--to the point that people willingly become indoctrinated into a political ideology for the express (if not unrealized) reason of belonging to something both greater than themselves, and real. Elections have consequences, and for folks with an unhealthy relationship with politics, that obsession fills a void. I'm personally very interested in politics from an academic perspective. For me, it's fun to watch the ways in which people of all political persuasions play games with logic and truth to fit a particular narrative or ideology. It certainly has it's downsides, as extremism and radicalization on either end of the political spectrum has created a toxic partisan atmosphere that most reasonable folks find abhorrent. I vote, but I make decisions based on individuals, or morals not party allegiance. What, you don't miss the slow-motion black and white ads that have the dude with the sinister voice talking in that distinct dialect: "BropolloCreed79 likes to eat burritos. If he eats Mexican food, how can we trust him to secure our borders?" And then the woman's voice reading like the MicroMachines guy: "ThisadpaidforbyAmericansForBorderSecurityandisinnowayendorsedbyanycandidate"

My eyes!!!!

Which is how I inadvertently discovered how to get kicked in the face by my horse.

I agree, that's why the real money that you pay for Online store currency would be used to purchase in-game funds. It'd be one thing if the in-game funds could be converted into real world cash, but they can't, and that's why there isn't an issue. The "real money" isn't being directly used for gambling, so there's no issue--from a strictly legal perspective. That's the workaround for lootboxes: most people aren't buying loot boxes directly, they're ostensibly laundering real cash into online currency which can have multiple uses, like skins, weapons, or emotes--or randomized lootboxes. It's a fine line, but a very real one.

No horse is worth selling unless it's been trained/bonded. If you look at the trends, you get more for horses that you've "leveled" than rando horses which you haven't. Me, I'm going to ride Arnold until I finish the game Sure, I'll go get the squatty potty horse or whatever people are losing their minds over, but for now, I keep a backup or two in the stable for variety then run with my draft horse. And yes, hunting is draining a LOT of my time as well.

When in doubt, toss dynamite into the cart.

Two nights ago, I did the EXACT same thing. It was glorious. I almost wish I had Sheriff Bart with me when I crashed that party.

Which is why they'll have a separate currency for online transactions. If they follow the model used by "The Division" or "The Elder Scrolls Online", the in-game money will stay the same, but you'll have to use a separate currency that you can purchase with real world funds to buy additional "in-game" money. Example: let's call the money you earn in-game from the fence and looting "US Currency". Now, let's say the online currency is going to be called "Deadeye Dollars". You'll log into XBL or PSN with your credit card info to purchase "Deadeye Dollars", which can be used to buy a slew of things in the RDO online shop, from horses to guns and everything in between. You'll also be able to use it to purchase "US Currency" to use in the game (maybe for gambling in-game). As long as there isn't a way to convert "US Currency" back into "Deadeye Dollars" there isn't an issue in terms of gambling with real world money from a legal perspective.

From what I read, he did much, MUCH more to her. He basically built his channel (temporarily) around finding creative and inventive ways to kill her, like putting her on train tracks and tossing her off bridges. Not saying it's right or wrong to censor him, but there's more to the story. YouTube is owned by Google. Google is a very... progressive company, so I could see them closing the channel for that. I don't know. WIll PETA have enough pull to shut down my channel on YT over the multiple "Suicide by Horse" videos I'll be posting soon? (I've already started). I mean, I"m punching the horse on purpose to initiate suicides, but if I don't get too many views, I should be fine.

I did. Still prefer

Updated with a new video titled: "Would You Could You On a Bridge?"
