500 atoms are ~5 dollar.

I'll be very angry if this is not a mobile game.

I've put it on my wishlist for now, as I don't have time to concentrate on it right now anyway. Earlier today it had a very bad rating on Steam, though, not sure what's up with that one.

Honestly, I'm not even mad at whales spending the coin on micro-transactions. Hell, I'd do the same if the only alternative is to tediously grind the same mechanics for 50 hours. Doesn't change the fact that it's a distasteful game mechanic. It's lazy, uncreative, and unattractive. Really wish it'd be possible to punish such companies more, but sadly the majority will still give them money for the next game. Right now I'm just so very disappointed in the huge wasted potential of RDO. Instead of doing something new, they did what Rockstar always does-- take their old formula and reskin it with a new story. RDR2 got praised so hard for being slower and different than other games and then for the multiplayer they decide to make a copy of GTAV online with a different look? Seriously? Come on, how lazy is that.

Apparently the grind in Red Dead Online is very real. Everything is super expensive and you gain little cash. Also weapons, horses, etc. are all level locked. Pretty much the same as GTAV Online. Such a damn turn-off.

Bethesda owns Gamebryo. It's their engine since years.

This is old. First, RDR2 apparently does NOT play after the end of the game, as neither John's farm, nor Arthur's grave exists in the online mode. Second, this car stuff is 100% pure speculation. Nothing has been officially confirmed at all and the RDR1 gameplay he shows is actually from a mod and not official content either. A car appears in the first game, but the player can never control it directly.

Where was this confirmed? I can't find anything about cars being in the game. I would love to own a car in singleplayer, once the main story is over. That would have been pretty cool, imo. But not even RDR1 allowed that, and it's set 12 years later than RDR2.

Watched some streams today and the cutscenes with the silent player look weird as hell. The mimic and general look kinda reminded me of Saints Row, when you play a doofus character. /edit: You also always see every player on the map in free roam, and there is no proximity chat. So if you say something, the whole game hears you. Kinda off-putting, imo. For a game that tries so hard to be "down to earth" and slower paced, so far they've added every multiplayer component that works against this. Yes there is a passive mode that makes it not possible for others to shoot you dead, but it also highly limits you yourself in everything you do. I thought they'd go a more realistic approach, or try to copy games such as DayZ, etc. but it really doesn't look like that. Now once they start adding crappy items like in GTAV online, such as rocket bikes and stuff, it will become the exact same grief fest... and at this point, I'm pretty sure this is going to happen.

You tell me, it took me one hour to get there. Was raging about it as well at the time, because the game is still very unstable. I had no client crash anymore now, but server disconnects still happen too often. Luckily my ship could make the jump in one go, without any stop. Once you've landed at Hurston once, you'll respawn there on death / logging in. PS: The travel time is not a bug, but supposed to be this long. It's one of the issues I had with it as well.. especially because full persistency isn't in the game yet, and if you logout, you will start again on the last respawn point or something, which is highly annoying. But then again, if you have short travel times now, people will always expect this, even in the future. It'll be very hard to get away from this again.

Did all of them except 3, which are still available after the prolog. Also I won't bother with any of the "search x objects in the game world" stuff. No idea how long I've played so far.

Oi fellas, I'm looking for a new wireless headset. Preferably something that works with the PS4 as well (just found out that my old wireless won't get recognized by it). It shouldn't be in the 200 bucks category, but I sure won't mind a good microphone quality either. Maybe around 100 or so bucks? If the arguments are sound, I might go higher, but eh... if not necessary. My current headphones also hurt my ears because they are pressing on the glasses, which gets very uncomfortable after a couple minutes, so something big / over ears would probably not be bad. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

50 seconds video that I could have read through in 15 seconds. /edit: This is so stupid. If you bought the ultimate edition, you can get into the beta tomorrow. People who started playing on release date will get in on the 28th... and on 29th everyone who played on the first release weekend. The plebs will be allowed to enter on the 30th... Sounds like the first release will be pretty basic. You run around in free-roam, can team up with other folks and shoot each other or do whatever you could do in singleplayer already. Won't have time till weekend anyway, so not a big deal. Pretty sure there will be issues plenty, so I won't mind if others have to suffer through them first.

Star Citizen 3.5 is live - that means, the planet Hurston and moons. This also means you can ride with the metro now. Waiting for the train, getting too late to the train station and waiting for another train. Just like in Berlin! Could catch one while riding on the other side: Performance is so-so. It works better than before, but they still have to do lots of optimization. Also NPCs are glitching like crazy. There's also currently an aerospace expo / ingame-event. Every day another manufacturer will present their ships in a huge warehouse / hangar thingy. Some of the ships are so big, it's hard to imagine without actually seeing them ingame.

Hard to say. Thing is, I have the spare money to do such things easily, so even if the game would have been crap, it wouldn't have hurt me all *that* much. At least not financially. As of now, I really like the game, even though it has plenty flaws. Bit of a shame there is no new game plus or something, because i'd instantly restart the game.. if I could keep my Mauser.

Not Rockstar is charging for online, it is Sony with that stupid PS-Plus subscription which you need to play online in the first place. RDR2 Online itself is free and will have micro-transactions to pay for itself. The micro-transactions are a different issue entirely. This PS-Plus bottleneck is completely unnecessary and just a cash grab. Steam doesn't want you to pay for an online mode either, nor any other such (PC) platform.

So what? I don't care. If I feel like the price isn't worth the experience, then I will complain and probably not buy it. It's not my fault that game deving is expensive. I never forced anyone to make new assets for every single game, yadda-yadda. Not sure where we're heading with this conversation right now, though, because I find it all to be kinda captain-obvious level stuff. I'm likely going to try at least one month of RDR2 online, no matter the costs. After that... no idea. I know how much I play online games, so it'll probably end with it then.

I have about 20k right now, as I've already finished the game. The money is going down pretty quick, though, as I have to pay bounties and stuff all the time when I did some experiments. That new horse was 900 or so as well. Not my first one. Pains me a lot when I have to "start a new one". Couldn't revive the last one, because I died when it was down... and after respawn, I had one of my other horses from the stables. If I hadn't died, I could have saved it.

I want to pay the price once, not every month.

I want to buy a game and then it's mine and I can play it whenever I want. About them servers, just allow people to host their own dedicated servers. It's really not that hard. Works on PC as well. Now if I would feel the mood to play some online game, I'd have to pay for a month. If my motivation is gone already tomorrow or in two hours... I've wasted 30 days. And yeah, I have no interest in most of these games, so it'd be a waste of money either way.

So my fancy horse just died, because of these stupid challenges. "Shoot 5 birds from a moving train" .. sounds easy, except for the fact that the people don't like you shooting from the roof of the train and soon you are getting swarmed by hordes of people trying to shoot you dead. Tried to outrun them, because my bounty climbed to $50 just from existing, and every kill will crank it up even harder. Anyway.. failed, died, my horse died and my last good savegame was from yesterday. Bought one of em elite arabian whatever horses. It has really good stats, but.... it's small. Hell, I want a big horse, not a pony. Also it takes lots of time to get the bonding level back up again. So annoying. Wanted to kill all the people but then didn't do it after all, because the bounty system feels so unreliable. Even if I change my clothes and everything, it takes just a couple minutes till they know it's me and the bounty goes sky high...

Sadly I don't play enough (console) games for that. Hell, I rarely play games anyway. Usually I'm just working on my projects and then won't have time to do anything else.

So I just found out that playing multiplayer on PS4 costs money. You have to spend like 8€ / month for a PS-Plus membership. Damn, console peasants are getting milked like crazy. Everything costs muchos monetos.

Still doing RDR2. Just randomly walking through the world, making photos of cool scenes, collecting perfect animal pelts to get funny stuff like badger hats. Waiting for the online mode now, but Rockstar is releasing like zero information about it and it was supposed to come out at the end of this month. Now I'm curious if that's still going to happen.

I think even if Diablo 4 would be like D2 again, at highest I would play through it only once... just like D3. I've grown out of that gameplay and it isn't as much fun to me anymore as 15 or what years ago.
