Wrong time period, really. They'd already been suppressed (govt. doing that? Amazing) when RDR2 is supposed to take place and wouldn't fully take another crack at things until 1915.

Buying the more expensive digital preorder version was a dumb choice, right? Because that’s what I did. And I’m pretty sure I only make bad vidya game decisions.

I mean it’s GTAO cash, and I don’t play GTAO, and some cosmetic crap for the actual game, right?

I got the same email - did you order it during one of the discounts periods (E3 I think mine was)? Wondering if they're just trying to get people to cancel pre-orders that were discounted. Same thing happened to me with Spider-Man.

If you have the ability unlocked to call Lester and get the cops to turn a blind eye, do that at any heavily populated spot and you'll have it done in a jiffy. Same for the stone hatchet.

Here’s a little interesting thing for the people that want to turn off HUD elements

wccftech” posted:

In a fresh video shared by LegacyKillaHD, it’s been revealed that Croatian magazine Gameplay confirmed in its recent Red Dead Redemption 2 preview that NPCs dialogue will change if the player is playing without the mini-map. With the map off, NPCs will give players directions, routes and various other information regarding the surrounding areas.

I actually might give this a try, it sounds pretty neat.

Yeah, that guy is the poster child for using any scrap of news or rumor to sensationalize in a 15-minute video to get a buck. Can't say I blame the guy but we're so close to release that there's no reason to watch his stuff. Chances are we'll get some new official video or preview weekly from now until release.

Absolutely agree. Sadly I don�t speak enough to Croatian Dutch(?) to confirm it from the source magazine, but if I come across any non-LegacyKilla confirmation I�ll let you know.

e: here�s an image of the page from the magazine �Gameplay�. Google translate suggests the NPCs direction giving is the bottom right text



and page 2 where the map stuff continues in the text in the top left, beneath the orange box.

LegacyKilla makes me laugh because he stretches out one tiny piece of information to 15 minute videos. I was really confused how he constantly did this, then I watched a few of his videos, and all he does is read press articles over cut scenes and gameplay from the trailers. He doesn't add anything insightful or significant.

What a hack.

Thanks all got it done this arvo.

Looking at GTAO for the first time since launch, did they ever backport any of the guns and cars to single player cause drat was the base game kinda lacking on that front.

Oh wow that's way easier than doing Gang attacks with the pistol. I did the axe challenge by driving into the Vinewood Bowl and going nuts while dodging police around the buildings there.

A tip for anyone else thinking of doing the treasure hunt and bounties, when you get close to any of the targets you will hear the tinkling of wind chimes. None of the walkthrough I found mentioned it.. actually most walkthroughs I found were kind of lacking because there's a heap of randomization involved

Rockstar's marketing has been perfect for drumming up interest and creating hype. However, the lack of concrete information about the game and its various systems has left the ground wide open for speculation. The hype for this game, combined with this hog wild speculative environment, is going to make for a lot of players bitching about this game not living up to their expectations post release. The tears harvest will be enormous.
