Crappers posted:This is my issue with most of the showdown modes also. The only mode I can get any enjoyment out of is the one with 2 teams starting on opposites sides of the map. There's a clear "frontline" which allows for some degree of planning your approach. Far from perfect but I feel like there's actual potential there. Every other game mode is a total crap shoot. Also I want to look at the game and spot players in the environment not stare at the magical mini map 90% of the time to check for people spawning behind me. I actually like RDO but gently caress it could be so much better. I can’t stand the shootout modes when it’s free for all. I can never see anybody until they’ve spawned behind me or shot me from somewhere I couldn’t see in time. Or vise versa. Rarely do I get in a real gun battle with someone, and half the time one or both of us are shot by a third party.

Just had the credits roll. Holy poo poo watching Micah, filled with holes, laugh, turn around, and fall over dead was so good. The whole game was so good. There's a few things left but I think I'll leave them undone. I've had just the right amount of RDR2. A very good Rockstar game™. Also the first one I've seen through til the credits other than all the Max Payne games.

Also, played the game some with a friend on his PS4 yesterday, seems really good and fun, too bad I don't have or plan to get a PS4. I got a pretty good kick out of ust chugging down canned peaches, also turned off all auto aiming and aiming assist and it was pretty hilarious to just kind of be incompetently missing alot in shootouts actually.

I've read stories about guys spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Supposedly high end whales can outright make demands of the game and get the phone numbers of CEOs, depending on the game or company.

The term originated in casinos. It’s just shorthand for buy virtual currency at this point. At least in the context I just used it. But yeah don’t buy gold unless it’s for clothes or guns since you can’t buy a loving horse lmao gently caress r*

We're getting more free gold bars? That's pretty generous of them. I haven't really waded into the shops much, my guy is a big fat shirtless mongrel, so I really have no idea how far a gold bar goes. Is it mostly for stuff you're level-locked out of? And yeah I'm sure they'll add more things that will be more expensive to keep people paying, but as I said yesterday there's only so much crazy new stuff they can add given the setting. I'd personally love it if they threw in a pegasus or flaming crossbows or whatever, but just don't see it happening.

I don't want or need contrived mechanics to make this more like GTA Online. Microtransactions are unavoidable but if it becomes about ways for me to buy some 1899 analog of a yacht/jet/death laser then gently caress it. Edit: Also weird to add your market for gold bars before you add any worthwhile content to spend them on but I'm not the billionaire developer so

But from my 1000ft read of things I don't think gold bars for this game will be #1 on anyone's list. It's so far down the streaming list at this point. When there's more content, sure. But now? Eh...

Its weird how that works, you can gold buy rank things in shops but not catalogue? That makes no sense. Probably got added last minute. The arabians are gold only, are they level locked? I wouldn't waste gold on a cash horse when there's gold only horses. The free red arabian has no level req so I would figure

I think the idea is that items that improve your effectiveness (guns, horses, etc.) are always level-locked even if you have gold to avoid pay to win. Cosmetics are never level-locked because they don't make you any stronger. I could be wrong though, and the fishing lures technically make the game easier but aren't level-locked if you pay gold.

The only cosmetic item that gives advantage of some kind are the winter coats, for the Grizzlies Anybody got the bison coat? Is that a cold weather jacket? Is there a way to tell what individual clothing items count as cold weather treated?

I haven't touched online yet and missing the first gold giveaway didn't exactly light a fire in me to start; this might actually get me to do it in the next couple days. E in the first rdr online, there was a mission where you had to clear bad guys out of a canyon, and you could pretty much sit in one place and just zap bad guys as they filed into the canyon one by one. I did this mission a billion times to level up and unlock everything in a couple days, my hopes aren't high but is that sort of thing doable in rdr2?

What do you mean by that sort of thing exactly?? There are missions to shoot dudes you can repeat, yes? You can snipe npcs from far away, yes? Its a grind to level up however you feel like doing it, buddy. You're not hitting level 100 in a few days though no, there's no obvious level fast exploit.

Most of the missions so far require you to travel away from the mission marker before shooting dudes, said dudes won't mindlessly bumrush you so you'll have to move around some, and there's often more than one locations for dude shooting. They're all repeatable and aren't super taxing, but they also aren't super short and will require more actual effort than what you were describing.

There are people who sit on top of buildings in Saint Dennis and headshot the NPC cops that come after them all loving day to grind levels. If that's your idea of a good time, go for it.

Not quite as conveniently, but you can start the (currently) last story mission, kill a bunch of dudes, then die and restart before the boss spawns to repeat the whole thing. Using the special ammo that it gives you for the mission gives a boost, especially if you combine it with executions. Butt stroke a guy and then execute, and if it's a headshot you'll get about 40 xp / kill, 6 for the kill, 6 special ammo, 6 headshot, 11 eyes wide shut, 11 execution.
