Nah, they're criminals. They didn't try to arrest Maggie, just burn her and her place down. I meanwhile am an anti-hero because I do good things... in a bad way.

 

I did say they are assholes with a massive dick for a boss. In the grand scheme of things you are the criminal because you are breaking the law.

[rollschuh2282]

btw, talking about that guy, during one of the bug attempts of the 1st maggie mission, that guy from that video that threw her in, is standing on a hill/mountain near when the enemies spawn.

was able to go near him, he won´t flee just sit there on the horse and you can´t shoot him

All governments take taxes more seriously than many other issues.

As a Quebecer, I know that all too well lol . I remember a story one of teachers told me in college, that he ran a business on the side, and just from some human error (on Revenu Quebec's part) they thought he owed them 30$ in tax. For that measly 30$, they were willing to drag him to court (which they did). I forget the outcome, but yeah, miss a dollar and they'll wreck you for it.

 

By that logic though, I guess every bounty we take in is taxed, and every collectible we sell (or perhaps they just never find out about our collectible business?). Also every product sold by Cripps Trading must be taxed then. Interesting little detail I never thought to put together / figure out.

Its the classic thing of law and morals don't always align. I guess tax is a touchy subject, but depending on your perspective, you could reason that the revenue men are just in it to make a dollar of someone else's work (not my view, but you can see how someone may come up with that viewpoint). We are absolutely inarguably criminal, but perhaps not the bad guys (definitely not good guys either though).

The reverse is true for the revenue agents in my opinion. They'll commit unspeakable acts in the pursuit of upholding the law (like @Pocket Fox said, trying to burn Maggie alive).

 

Of course this is all just my opinion, and I don't claim to be right, just my thoughts on the morality of it.

Because Rockstar knows what we think is fun. Rockstar knows what we want and why we don't want what we want, like solo lobbies. They therefor give us broken ass updates with all the stuff that we don't think is fun, in it. Because Rockstar knows we are wrong. 
 

That's IF you can get any of their "content" to work. I find it extremely bizarre that a company would put forth so much effort to create a game but then have it out there where none of the crap is working. What's the point?

RDR2 was lovingly made by world-class Devs under the careful hand of R*. RDO is made by the B-Team under the whip of Take2, you can see moments of brilliance or inspiration or bits where the Devs have sneaked stuff in for the players like the Smoking Emotes being free when they could have charged ten or fifteen Gold for them and people would have paid but you can also see the corporate bullsh*t smeared all over the top like our character paying Cripps the "start up fee" for Trader in Cash and yet we have to pay in Gold.

 

Take2 wanted GTAO 2.0 and I don't think it's possible.

Those are the times I think they are finally getting it and give me hope for the future, but it doesn't take long to prove me wrong.

Like the Elephant Gun knocking us over if we fire it while crouched. They didn't have to do that but it shows something is there, its just not allowed to flourish. Even the intro animations and trailers for the DLC are top class and yet the end result is shallow and grindy just to get us to buy Gold.

talking about bounties...i always try to bring my bounties in alive.

but yesterday while i was killing the other enemies, a bear ran up and...slaughtered my bounty...

I killed so many Revenue agents that by this time no one would work for them!

 

Anyone notices that Gus has one or two halloween lines when he is just talking!

How much content do you think we'll get at the end of this year, and in 2021?

When Frontier Pursuits came out, I was optimistic for the future of this game. Had R* continued with a new role every 3 months, the trajectory of this game would be solid.
But that's not what happened in 2020. The Naturalist and Halloween Pass happened. 2020 was disappointing, Covid-19 notwithstanding.

What do you guys think? I can imagine the December update will be solid (fingers crossed), but I have no clue about 2021

I've stopped having any hope for good things from this development team. As it is right now, the game is completely broken and has been a trainwreck for a long time. Pushing out more content when none of the current content is working is pointless.

Back when sessions were small, running into cheaters was (at least for me) pretty rare.

 

This past weekend, I ran into two dimwits: "Billy the Tryhard" and "Jittering"; Jittering was, of course, using godmode and teleporting everywhere:

I ran into 3 during the small lobbies but each one of them was the only other one on the server and I guess they figured I wouldn't know who was doing the stuff (burning my horse, blowing me up, and I forget what the 3rd one did). Gives you a pretty good idea of the IQ of those people.

Its the same thing over and over again, since launch. We wait far too long for new content (hoping much-needed fixes come along too), only for the new content to be recycled, bringing nothing new to the table. Nothing is learned from one dlc to the next, and each one seems as shallow as possible, providing only the minimum amount of depth to encourage gold bar sales. Each dlc seems like it will be the jumping point for this game to really take off, only it never happens, and all we get is something "just good enough". I don't expect any different with the next dlc.

[Leftover Pizza]

Again, don't buy anything today that might be on sale tomorrow. 

 

Current sales: 30% off Melee weapons, 40% of all Role Items. 10GB off Moonshine Shack, relocating is still free today. Might you wanna start a new role you didn't before, all have 5GB discount to start one up.

So does anyone in here have any logical speculation on what the next update will be???

LANDLORD ROLE....and a tease of mexico!

[Potter145]

Digital Foundry analysed Red Dead Redemption 2 running on Xbox Series X. 

 

 

Improvements:

 

- Locked 30 frames per second compared to slight frame drops on the last generation (e.g. 28fps on Xbox One vs 30fps on Xbox Series X in Saint Denis) 

 

- Enhanced Texture Filtering for a sharper image (4x anisotropic filtering on Xbox One vs 16xaf on Xbox Series X)

 

- Faster load times and quick resume

R* announced it will be an expansion on an existing role.

An expansion on the Bounty Hunter role would make sense to me, it hasn't gotten an extension yet.
Some say an expansion on the Collector role, based on an interview with a R* executive giving an outline of where they want to take the role - introducing collectibles which have to be pieced together by a posse to make one "item" that can be sold.

I'm 50-50 between those two options

LOL. What brain came up with that? There is too much collecting in the game now and it's gotten stale for one person. Now they want to take something stale and make it a group thing. I love R*.

I don't think the "Team Collector" addition would constitute a new Role by itself, it could be an addition like the Fossils. As alot of people have said, forcing people to work together instead of it being organic is a fast way to kill this game. Unless they make an actual Treasure Hunter Role and we suddenly discover that there are booby trapped ancient ruins under the map... :S

 

I am of the camp that it will be an upgrade to the Bounty Hunter.

Collector has already murdered this games economy. Now they want to make it even worse by forcing people to play together?
