First look at Red Dead Online's Character Creation. Looks decent enough! Not bad

 

Very nice Ah How much?

 

Still online mode is not for me though, just my personal preference

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.

Yeah, old-skool cars has already been confirmed, they're gonna be like Model T cars, horseless carriages but it's going to feel really weird. That's just another reason I personally wouldn't play it, eveeything just feels weird and a multiplayer online game as such is super hard to manage or balance with those rtypes of features. It's almost more of an ongoing exeriment. As opposed to WoW which is at least very focused.

 

For the peeps that are gonna play it, hope they have fun and it's everything they dreamed. I'm sure most will want it to get crazier than not but the beauty of the single player campaign is that it's not goofy and very serious imo

[Lexx]

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.

How do the mounts unbalance the game? Do they perform attacks or give the player some advantage?

 

Or are we just railing about something that someone else might have but others no not have?

[Hurlshort]

The best horses fire rockets out of their rear end. A horse is a horse, of course, of course. 

[Gfted1]

Do the horse testicles get singed from the jet blast?

Bethesda Reportedly Rescinds Offer For ‘Fallout 76’ PC Refunds

 

You know, I'm finding it somewhat hard to sympathize with folks asking for a refund (in the EU at least). They did consent to being ****ed right up the ass by the company, by "waiving their right" to a refund. On the other hand, generally it is illegal to swindle people, even if they are complete morons.

 

edit: it looks like any such waiver has no actual value, legally speaking. It's just a douche move to deter attempts at getting a refund. It may be necessary to threaten legal action to get through the CS drones who handle tickets, though.

The first working automobile was invented around 1886 by Karl Benz, since RDR2 is set 12 years prior to the first game it is highly unlikely that we will see automobiles at all. The Model T was released in 1908 so that is even more unlikely even though this is the online mode.

 

A mobile gatling gun would be more likely.

[Hurlshort]

Hmm, I wonder if I can still get a refund on Fallout 76. I've got a couple hours in, but I don't know if I'll play it again.

Sony should make a Vita 2. Also they should release it AFTER they launch the PS5 and make it a companion to the console. Also Parasite Eve 4? Yes.

 

Also, when Zenimax's acquired studios are doing well and maintaining solid consumer good will. Why is Bethesda Games Studio itself a mess both technically and when it comes to delivering what they promise. Also FO76 is the ultimate low of this studio's entire history.

[SonicMage117]

I think they just meant for it to be an online version of FO4 basically but since their games have been a step up in tech and engine code, FO76 was just disappointing. There are a few people on my faceboook who really love it though, probably because they're console gamers and want the social experience in a FO game over anything else.

[Keyrock]

Sony should make a Vita 2.

Absolutely, but this time don't price it over $300 at launch (traditionally all handhelds priced over this mark have failed) and don't saddle it with ridiculous, overpriced, proprietary memory cards.

 

The Vita was a great machine, Sony just murdered it at launch with some terrible decisions.

Edited November 28, 2018 by Keyrock

[injurai]

Imagine a Vita 2 with SOTN HD as a launch title.

[SonicMage117]

Don't remind me of the memory cards guys

 

But yeah, SOTN and something like Gravity Rush 3 would be great at launch though I highly doubt Gravity Rush 3 will be made due to the low sales of the first two games.

Rumor:

 

New Alien fps game to be announced/confirmed at VGA's, Hideo Kojima may be at the helm or involved?

Their acquired studios aren't doing all that well financially despite generally having well regarded games. BGS may be a terrible mess QA wise and their PR may be economical with the truth but (1) they're financially successful and that's what counts most plus (2) their games have been bug ridden messes with 'inaccurate' promotion since at least Daggerfall and that hasn't hindered them up until now.

Oh that is sweet. Imagine a PS Vita II that can play all of your PS4/PS3 digital games. Playing the PS4 games you already own, on the go, would be a great start.

[injurai]

Yeah, Bethesda's success is directly correlated to id and Arkane being given second chances. I just think they could do so much better, but I guess that cuts into profit margins, and those margins certainly help fund what little progress we do get from them.

Like the brand "new" engine every game?
