Red Dead Redemption 2 - now available on PC

[Cyberarmy]

You are all wrong. And I am right.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Valky]

Rockstar has always made banal boringshit that normalfags lap up in droves.

San Andreas was fantastic.

Was that Real life simulator: Commit crime and do wacky stuff XD number 3, or number 2?

 

[ScrotumBroth]

San Andreas was fantastic.

It really was. And Vice City.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Never mind.

This might sound strange, but I also felt that on many of the main missions there were just way too many enemies to shoot.

That's true and detracts from the visual realism. I guess it's console game design and playing time padding.

 

[JDR13]

Played a little of the first game and thought it was decent. Never understood the overwhelming popularity though.

It was 3.2 (Vice City was 3.1). It was the last truly fun entry to the franchise.

Edit: I should maybe include Liberty City Stories.

Wait, really? So i heard correctly? Is this shit game coming to PC? But......why?

 

[Paul_cz]

RDR2 is made of two parts:

1) Linear playable TV series with insane production values and high quality writing (main quest)
2) Open Old West simulation (the open world exploration and sidemissions)

They somewhat clash on occasion, but nothing too bad. Both are of higher standard than nearly everything else in the industry. And I would say even across mediums. I have seen metric shitloads of westerns but I don't think I have ever enjoyed a protagonist as much as I have Arthur.

Would’ve been a 10 outta 10 for me if you could just get prostitutes. Such fuckin’ horse shit that the only waifu you get is that twat that just keeps asking you to do stuff for her.

Gotta sell those gold bars to a whole new audience. RDR2 apparently didn't catch on with the multiplayer audience the way GTA5 had.

 

[Kem0sabe]

I absolutely loved it on ps4, and it was one of the few games I have ever played where I intentionally slowed down and started fucking about the map just to avoid finishing the story and ending the game, because it was just that good.

Must buy on pc for anyone who didn't play it... Now if only Rockstar weren't such cunts and made some actual single player content.

Console players don't get a lot of options. They have to hype everything that gets shat their way.

I enjoy shitting on console gamers as much as anyone, but in this case the hype is warranted. I can't wait to replay it on my master racist 2080Ti powered PC.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Well, gonna bring up the obvious: this game could be improved a lot with mods from what I hear. Combat improvements, animation improvements, mechanics, etc.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Will it have mod support? Or fans will just have to find a way like they did with the previous games?
I don't remember Rockstar supporting mods, let alone today.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Rockstar sees mods as a way to force you to buy their game repeatedly, because they ban you for using them.

Officially, no. But that didn't stop the makers of mods for GTA IV and V. They basically reverse-engineered parts of the engine from what I've been told in order to get mods and private servers working. Rockstar will ban you. But who gives a shit. The most rewarding multiplayer experiences are from private servers and the single player game doesn't connect to a server.

Yeah, modding an MP game, also called hacking. Obviously any dev will ban you if you play a hacked MP game, duh.

OFc if Rockstar banned your account for modding your SP game, that would be super fucked up.

Wrong. Rockstar will only ban you if your mods interfere with online (basically, hacks). Private servers are allowed. One of the recent resurgences of GTA V was due to a Roleplaying Mod that ran on a private server.

Rockstar urges Take-Two to ease off on Grand Theft Auto modders

A popular modding tool may come back from the brink

Grand Theft Auto 5
Rockstar has issued a statement through its support knowledge base solidifying their support for user-created mods of its games.

“Rockstar Games believes in reasonable fan creativity, and, in particular, wants creators to showcase their passion for our games,” the post begins. “After discussions with Take-Two, Take-Two has agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar’s PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties.”

This statement seems to be a response to the Grand Theft Auto 5 community’s intense negative reaction to publisher Take-Two Interactive’s cease-and-desist order against the creator of OpenIV, a long-standing modding tool for Grand Theft Auto 4, Grand Theft Auto 5and Max Payne 3. Rockstar Games said that Take-Two’s decision was based on the fact that “OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody.”

In the wake of Take-Two’s order, Steam users hammered Grand Theft Auto 5’s store pagewith negative reviews, plummeting it to “Overwhelmingly Negative” status.

One caveat to this new agreement between Rockstar and Take-Two is that it does not apply to mods that affect online multiplayer, which was the reason given for the order against OpenIV. Another exception is made against the “use or importation of other IP (including other Rockstar IP),” which does not bode well for canceled fan-developed remakes like Red Dead Redemption V.

Rockstar has confirmed that it has reached out to OpenIV’s developer Yuriy "Good-NDS" Krivoruchko in an attempt to resolve this dispute.

OpenIV was brought back.

Something from San Andreas

You mean linear set pieces? RDR2 has plenty of those.

San Andreas had Jetpacks, RDR2 didn't.

Most private servers use modded versions of GTA V. You're not "hacking". You're not doing anything that would interfere with Rockstar's own service. But Rockstar have banned people for using single player mods in their single player game. Unless you're a complete corporate cuck then nothing objectionable is happening from just modding Iron Man into your single player game. Or going on a private server to do Cops vs Robbers.

No excuse me dude, you can't give the player a higly unrestrictive level of freedom and then completely take it away and force the player down a very specific script, and say that the game doesn't suffer greatly from that.

Specially when they take it away in the moments where applying that creativity should be encouraged (the main missions). I mean this would be like if in Deus Ex during missions there were no multiple ways to solve a problem in accordance with your build, and instead you're forced down a linear path, like in CoD title, but then while you explored the streets of New York you could do whatever you want.

Either your game is about emergent gameplay or it's about scripted setpieces. You can't be constantly jumping from one to the other in hopes of pleasing everyone. Even Nintendo, of all companies knows this for crying out loud.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Would be nice to see what mods the community manage to make

Probably Iron Man power armors with gravity guns and Unicorns shooting rockets out of their asses.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

Why would anyone play this shit game?

 

[Sentinel]

Why would anyone enter a thread for a shit game?
