Red Dead Redemption

What would they do for the next one? They were already starting off pretty late for a Wild West adventure. Will the cowboys start running liquor for the mob?

Or maybe, it will be a prequel.

psyched for the announcement of an xbone remake of both red dead games!

Wonder if PC version will exist this time

Trailer on Thursday (10/20)

Fall 2017

Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

brand new online multiplayer experience.

groan

I know right? Just going to be a bunch of assholes towing around 14" siege mortar carriages, blowing people off the map.

Ready to dupe some palominos though.

Westworld tie in

PC version coming 6 months later, right? That's fine with me

just gonna say that's a magnificent seven cowboys in the above image

i still haven't finished RDR

it looks pretty

They referenced a LOT of classic western moments in RDR but I can't remember a Magnificent 7 reference (I played it a long time ago)...

frustrating minigames: the game

now i remember that i never got more than like 12 hours into a rockstar game, fuuuuuuuuuuuck this

just after finally figuring out the hellish lasso minigame i have to do more herding on my horse that sucks

rockstar i just want to play your games without breaking my controller in half yk

how to herd
1. find a mass of cattle and go to the opposite side of where you're trying to push them
2. try to push them the right way
3. behold as a small rock splits the herd and sends them both the wrong way
4. get the herd back together and try again
5. behold as the camera does the wrong thing and then your horse does the wrong thing because none of this works smoothly
6. where is the entire herd

how to lasso
1. finally get the fucking lasso around the fucking horse
2. google why the horse keeps immediately breaking away because the tutorial doesn't tell you that you need to hold the button
3. finally get the fucking lasso around the fucking horse
4. dismount your horse
5. mount your horse again because it was within 100 miles of the horse you were actually trying to mount
6. where is the horse

how to play horseshoes
1. bet 1 dollar and continually lose the easiest challenges because you just want that fucking outfit

get gud, pardner

the dialogue in this game sounds like it was written by a child doing a book report on the time period

99.9% video games

qualx, someone should pay you to liveblog your way through Rockstar games. I would like to see your instructions for the Vice City RC helicopter missions.

How to play RC helicopter mission
1. Open window
2. Throw console through window

full stop the part of vice city where you have to do an rc mission is precisely where I gave up on the storyline however many years ago

lol @ qualx

I enjoyed RDR at the time (especially the zombie dlc iirc) but don't think I could do it now.

Zero's third mission ("New Model Army") was really fun. Almost made that brutal second mission worth it.

I just don't understand why this studio pours 7 billion dollars into these games and then makes sure the player spends at least 30% of them stuck in minigames that seem to be designed by teenagers who would otherwise spend their time pumping out flappy bird clones with malware

I've been constantly playing GTA Online since I got it. Conversely, I've played GTA V maybe like three or four times.

I don't think I've even come close to finishing a Rockstar game. Maybe like 3/4 of the way through GTA 3 but that was it.

I think if you're stuck in the mini games on rdr there must be something wrong. Seem to remember 95% of the time was riding a horse and shooting ppl and animals. You know you can just grab a horse and leave wherever you are at any time right?

I have finished many main stories in rockstar games but clearly never completed the games 100%.
the minigames in RDR are annoying as well as some missions (mostly the races afaic) but there is something I like in the idea of the game... maybe more than in the actual game as it's very repetitive.
that said I like... the poker parties !

Poker was the hardest mini-game by far for me.

1. Press random buttons
2. Lose money
3. How to play poker?

ahah. but if you know how to play poker, it's a nice game in itself.
you can spend a lot of time just playing that...
although they could have added the possibility to take out your gun to make it more of a part of the main game !

Yeah hard to believe that they didn't add a 'flip table' button option

I have played RDR a few months ago and went all Westworld on it by stopping in a little village and shooting everybody.
it was a little frustrating because people kept respawning as if nothing happened.

idc what anyone says i'm buying the new one day of release

No, don't. Don't do it.

i stand with mordy

i will buy this videogame, play it obsessively for around 35 hours in total, then lose interest with about two-thirds of the main mission completed

I don't remember very well but I think I have finished RDR. the end was pretty meh...

Ah memories (from upthread):

"how are you supposed to subdue people (at least before getting a lasso)? i would try using my fists and either die or accidentally beat them to death anyway, or them shooting in the legs. a couple times it gave me the "mission complete" flag while they were still alive (but injured), and i would start walking away only to have them shoot me in the back.

i keep forgetting how to stop when riding horses, and last night i stole a horse to distract the deputies in the first seth mission, rode around the mountain, and then rode straight into seth, killing him. :/

after doing a bunch of missions last night i thought i'd treat myself to a stagecoach back to town. except, i tried to get in on the wrong side, which meant i accidentally coach-jacked the dude. cue mid-speed chase, giving myself up, jail time, etc. there should be an apology button.

-trying to return a stolen wagon, i crashed and apparently suffered some kind of spinal injury. wasn't dead, but could only lie on the ground motionless and move the camera. a coyote came and nibbled but then wandered away, i was just hoping something will kill so i didn't have to restart but no luck.

-ended up on a cliff above the town i wanted to get to, not sure how to get down with my horse. so i just dismounted and slid down, tried to call my horse but it didn't seem to be working. then i was running from coyotes across the field, saw a dot moving towards me on the map, spun around and shot my horse point blank. :("

i didn't finish it bc someone accidentally erased my save when i was 4/5ths of the way through. i've been told there's some twist at the end. it turns out the whole thing takes place in westworld?

Turns out it was all a videogame

at the end you realize you were in a video game all along.

ah you beat me to it !

at the end you find out it wsa all a videogame

iirc the end is at the hero's family farm, huh ? or was it the big shooting in the mountain camp ?
err, it was a long time ago... I only remember THINKING it was meh...
