That's also how they ruined Land Grab.  Ban the dyno for stuff like this, learn to scrap and shoot.

Land Grab in Blackwater was f*cking insane if the whole lobby was there.

 

Poor horse...

If they don't like the game, fine. It's their opinion

 

Is that too hard to understand? We are better than this, guys. 

I don't think it's a case of them not liking the game. It's a case of them being at the end of a very long conference and being bored by a poorly put together presentation.

 

Then you got sites like Eurogamer trying to stir up controversy for clicks.

[DGSimo]

Yeah I'm not linking the Eurogamer article for easy clicks. The more interesting part of the article is actually in the comments section.

 

Seems like Rockstar/Take 2 has been showcasing the same demo or section at various retailer conventions and conferences around the world. There was one showing in Australia that went down worse because the game crashed at the bank robbery so there was no shoot out. lol

[lndex]

The exact one i was watching on ebay...wtf! 

[Jason]

I don't think I've seen a single comment about those GameStop comments that haven't been mocking them or calling them stupid to be honest. People know better than to treat random people as gospel.

I'm more surprised about the demos being live than them showing it around the world lol.

Yeah, Land Grab was pretty fun sometimes. lol And yup... no point climbing the ladder either. You’d have a noob with a High-Powered Pistol at the ready. I’m really looking forward to activities in Red Dead Online though. After the roaming and shooting it’s nice to get away from it all and settle down to a game of poker and other stuff every now and then.

Someone from the forum should arrange weekly activities. Organized gang matches, raiding gang hideouts etc etc.. Would be fun.

High powered pistol and blackwater camping always went together just like in the single player how it was a more modern town. I do love the gun but honestly I've always been pretty damn good at RDR , I try to stick to the one shot more western weapons to pick off headshots. Example: Winchester repeater, cattleman revolver. Rather than mauser pistol, and semi auto pistol. I had all the headshot challenges, gold on everything but the semi auto shotgun and dynamite:p (Lord I MISS MY HENRY REPEATER) But omg I just realized red dead online will be able to have up to about 30 or more players cause next gen!!! Imagine land grab with THAT amount of people all in one area.....

Yes ! However it plays out, we do all need to play red dead online together. After all we been through it's a must..

[RedEye_Rye]

With the amount of immersion and detail rockstar games is going for in the horse physics for RDR2, do you believe rockstar will make  it possible for our own horse to break its leg ? I heard this briefly mentioned during an ign unlocked video last month.

We can basically do this through The PS4 and Xbox group/communities feature. We've got one on PS4 but I'm not sure one was set up for Xbox? Perhaps Spider can double check and then have a sticky with details about each. 

 

I'm all for it and it'd be cool to organize weekly free roam and game mode events that get pinned and also streamed for those that can't join a full session or just want to watch. Maybe we could do some community prize giveaways too...

keep in mind that some people who played red dead redemption stop playing during the MacFarland missions and thought, this is a farming simulator? And stop playing all together.

We're going to be having a section for RDOnline very akin to the GTA Online section so plenty of room to organise matches, make posses/crews, recruit, etc.

I think we're gonna be forced to make some hard choices for our steed. I don't believe the game will force us to lose our mount through story or side missions, I think they will probably have an achievement for having the same mount for most of the game just like the first one. One part of hardcore mode that I enjoyed is when your horse died you couldn't whistle it back, of course if you bought deeds you could switch out and have a horse again but for the beginning when it was too expensive if you lost your horse you were screwed and would have to think on your feet and that was the most exciting.

 

I wonder if we've spent 100+ hours with the same horse and if we're being chased off a cliff what are you gonna do? You gonna pause and reload or take it as it comes?

If I my horse gets clipped and I'm attached to it and all, I'm gonna reload I think.

 

I'm gonna take take the Ardennes warhorse by the way.

 

Fun fact: That horse is native to the Ardennes region south of my country pretty proud to have it in rdr2!!!!

who the hell saw the intro where john got shot, the mysterious government agents, and him talking about going back for williamson somehow thinking it's a farming simulator???

Is there a picture of the warhorse we get for preordering? I'm definetly riding that one in the game and in online. My second online character was going to get the exclusive black chestnut thoroughbread but I only just found out that's for ultimate edition and not for special edition which is a bummer.

Big summabitch makes Arthur look tiny, and Arthur is a big man

[Faraday]

Maybe it's a Shire horse breed

[Cutter De Blanc]

That thing will crush a cougar, no problem

Hearing and reading more about Gamestop's launch plans have me excited. I'm glad I took Thursday off lol

With greater courage and stamina than the average steed, this is a horse that knows how to keep its head under fire.

I wonder if courage and stamina are two of a horse's attributes that you can increase through bonding

I bet the black throughbred will be way more nervous and skittish in a gunfight, but also way faster

Yeah. Arthur also has his own core stats like stamina that can be improved too.

I wonder if we'll get some sort of intimidation stat for Arthur in the game. Maybe it would make robbing tougher people easier etc.
