can't wait for these private servers to roll out and all the new money making methods being locked behind open servers. Much like gta online side businesses and car stealing.

I’d be curious to know what % of players cheese the system to lag out and play solo in public servers, and if it’s big enough for r* to say “I guess people want to do that” and just make it a feature

I wish they'd turn up the spawn rate on things like bandit ambushes and hideouts, because those are fun surprises and I want to do them more often.

Capn Beeb posted:Honestly all I want right now is invite only servers so my friends and I can just relax in this really pretty word and hunt and fish and do the odd stranger job. New content would be nice (provided it's not like GTA Online where the majority is PvP focused), but we burned out on getting griefed non stop really loving fast. If you're playing with two or more friends, take turns looking out for each other and checking the map. If you see dots making a beeline for you, fire a warning shot into the air. All of you should, it will give them messages saying that these players may attack if approached. A lot of times, they'll turn around because they were just trying to sneak up on somebody. If they keep coming, hunker down, and fire your weapons at them. Maybe have the posse leader split off to another session to see if it's chill. And you probably are already, but I would suggest always getting posse'd up. Friendly fire disabled, your dots are blue, it's good. Once r* introduce the parley changes and proximity-based player blips, it should be more chill

The best was last week where the same bunch followed us across five different servers. Truly riveting gameplay.

I still haven't finished my first playthrough, though I suspect I'm at the last mission of the epilogue (John just asked Abigail to marry him and they shared a blissfully happy moment so I assume poo poo is about to go south), so I was clearing up a few last outstanding things like the dinosaur bones/cigarette cards etc. While going through my wardrobe I spotted that I now have the Legend of the East outfit? I thought you only got that for 100% completion? Mine is still on something like 92%

Yeah I actually had a mildly interesting time today doing something similar. I was doing a rescue and this guy just came at me with a shotgun with slugs, taking us both out. This led us to having a few fire fights in Rhodes and I got pretty good at feeling out where he was going to go and how to take off his head with the Volcanic. It gets the blood pumping to do those engagements, though; more so than doing story missions, certainly. When I'm playing to chill, PvP is not usually my thing.

We shot back but it just got really tedious really fast. Would be nice if there was some reward for killing grifers instead of being punished for it cause uh oh here come the cops now. It was really lovely for my friends who are all still pretty low level and couldn't make any progress towards leveling up.

This game's controls have got to be some of the worst in modern gaming. Game forces you to go through thousands of loving button presses and holds for the simplest poo poo, has different buttons for the same action in separate situations, and I constantly get hosed by the still incomprehensible "Aim" R2 prompt that has you shooting people as soon as you do press it. Hilariously, even now that I know it happens, when I try the usual L1 to equip the revolver it doesnt do it as long as the R2 prompt is up.

You can do it at any time, it just makes the most sense to do it when there's a dude aiming at you. Otherwise you are drawing and shooting at random poo poo.

But it doesn't happen only when people are aiming at you, it happens in random different situations. Last time for example it happened to me in that mission where you have to free the dude tied to the bed in the firearm seller's basement. No one is pointing a gun at me there. I'd love to use L1 all the time but it's like sometimes it doesn't register. Or Arthur unequips it immediately for some reason. I don't know how you gently caress controls up so bad in such a big AAA game but here we are. Oh and don't start me on the pure hell of endless wheel menus and submenus. Sometimes I just don't want to use items to spare me the hassle.

R2 is basically just hip firing. If you tap it slowly, you go into deadeye mode to shoot what you want, but if you just hit it you quick draw and blast whatever. The game forces you into the mode a time or two, but you can just be out in the world and decide to quick draw anytime you want. If you want to hit a specific spot or person, slowly push R2. If you just wanna blast poo poo, slam it down. It just makes way more sense to use that when you are being held at gunpoint instead of just plugging some random dude in town.

Finally finished the main game so I jumped into the online and I can see how it was the potential to be really great. Although I only have one IRL friend who plays it and I think he was pretty jack of it by the end of single player so I don't know how keen he'll be. Played my first round of the new battle royale, completely out of my depth, and it's definitely an eerie experience to be stalked through the St Denis plantation with creepy music playing while the only two remaining players, who are in cahoots with each other for the XP, discuss their stalking of you over the chat.

I hope at some point in 2019 RDO gets purchasable residences and illicit businesses. Old rickety mountain cabins, upscale St. Denis apartments, moonshine operations, Guarma mercenary missions where you can smuggle rum or explosives, or do fort defense where you & your posse help the Guarmans fend off increasingly difficult, randomized attacks by Cuban NPCs. Not to mention bank, train, and industrial heists, etc. And a real long shot: side activities like horseshoes, darts, or dominoes that you can't bet on, just win a decent chunk of XP.

You're going to get sucked into this idea that RDO is a property that is perfectly set up for rich and immersive gameplay on par or eventually exceeding the single player experience. Disabuse yourself of this as soon as possible.

I would imagine it's modeled after New Orleans, which has a bunch of really hosed up ways to reach the ocean.  Most of their shipping is done on the Mississippi. if you go on sattelite view you can see all kinds of big-rear end ships all up on it.
