I vaguely remember RDR online being fun, so this sounds nothing like that

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
Horses are removed from multiplayer so you can't get griefed.
OMG...the character creation options are fucked. Most of the options look like inbred retards. You can't name your character something like B.J Swallows...(profanity warning) and my initial impression is just disappointment. fucking profanity warnings...what the fuck have Rockstar become...

Rockstar said they're making games for the millinials now. Wait till you see GTAVI, due 2021.

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
No wonder GTA5 lets you skip the gameplay section. They want to appeal to the participation ribbon generation where you don't need to care about performance. It all makes sense now. And I thought it was just the reptilians fucking with me by having modified my copy of the game. GTA6 will probably be a full blown online only game like Fallout 76 I reckon. The big publishers are trying to kill off single player gaming.

In my inbox this morning. $350 for a jacket modelled on clothing worn by a character in a 19th century western themed video game.

Mall cops get nervous when they see you wear period clothing.

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
I reckon Rockstar have done that on purpose for the early days so people won't unlock too much stuff too early, slowly the economics will change but for now, Sharkcards.

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
bit glitchy. I rerolled my character...now my horse won't bond. oh and the grind is real. I don't think it's going to keep me as GTA has. Mayhap it'll improve...

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
it's a vague replication of the single player game...obviously with gangs...a lot of griefing, story and stranger missions, an enormous huge grind for a pittance in cash. Most of the money to make is in hunting...collecting perfect skins serves no purpose other than selling them for a slightly higher price, but they aren't used for crafting. I'm not sold, although I am playing it. It won't have the legs that GTAO has.

Hit 37% completion and just reached and completed the first mission on chapter 3. I had a week off from playing it. Still early days..

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
I've stopped toward the end of chapter 6. No rush to enter into the epilogues yet. I have done a fair whack of the online though...maybe 18 hours.

Halfway through Chapter 3, 48% completion. Atm I'm trying to do all the Gambling challenges and collect any prestine pelts I come across. It's a massive timesink this game.

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
Fuck that 7th/8th gambling challenge. Win 3 hands of Blackjack but you have to "hit" 3x, so take an extra 3 cards. The odds of getting 4 cards that are worth less than 5 is one thing, but getting that 5th cards to make up no more than the required 21 points is another kettle of fish. Played Blackjack for an hour and never met the requirements once.

Once thing I find works for me, when you start losing, immediately exit the match and kill everyone, then loot them. Got the tip from a mate who works at Crown.
Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
If it's not fun then... don't do it?
Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
I haven't even started my copy yet and now I'm wondering if I'll bother.

Re: First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay
Just don't do that challenge. It's not compulsory unless you're aiming for 100% completion/ clothing unlocks. I doubt I'd bother.Lepo5 wrote:I haven't even started my copy yet and now I'm wondering if I'll bother.
Oh my god, you're going to hate this game. You'll never make it off the mountain.
