Bartimaeus Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 luckily for me, it's easy to boycott rockstar because I don't like their style of games to begin with 4 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

injurai Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 I never did buy GTAV, RDR was my last game from them, so I can imagine they've changed. Weren't those statements prior to the EA fiasco though? Loot boxes, preying on kids with gambling, and spending addiction is awful, but I think the industry is reeling that back now. I guess I didn't realize that GTAO became a full MMO though, I thought it was just drop in drop out co-op. The cease and desist makes sense when they are trying to monetize their own investment and mods are cutting into that, though I do prefer healthy modding communities so I'm torn between desire and realism. Maybe I'm still hoping for the best, but I'll vote with my wallet for RDR2's campaign and won't touch any of the microtransaction aspects of it if it has nay. As someone that wants RDR2 that's better than a straight out boycott. Ultimately I think we can blame the whales for the **** show that becomes many games these days.

Katphood Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 I was extremely disappointed by a certain part in GTA V* and how Rockstar and Take 2 decided to threat modders so I am not hyped for RDR 2. * you get to send a message to Michael's son while you are playing as Trevor which goes something like this "smoke less weed, do more meth. You'll get stuff done". Promoting amphetamines in your game now?! Wow! There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

Fenixp Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 There's hitchhikers around the road in GTA V who'll give you little side-quests if you pick them up. Trevor gets an optional objective for each and every one of them to bring them to a cannibalistic tribe in exchange for money.
Bartimaeus Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 The Vampyr soundtrack leaked. I didn't listen to all of it because I didn't want to be too terribly spoiled in case I end up playing this game, but I did listen to like the first 7 tracks to get a feel. It's not quite dark ambience, because it's just a little too strong to qualify as ambience (which I actually like - too much video game music these days is just background noise). At times, it almost seems horror film or maybe a little Stranger Things-esque. Definitely does not hurt the game's case. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

SonicMage117 Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I love GTAV, I just stay away from the MP portion. The single player was fun, though not lengthy like Watch Dogs or Saints Row games. Still fun to just do sill things in the open world for no reason. I imagine RDR2 will be similar in this respect. I'm kinda disappointed with Beyond Good & Evil 2's direction, of course I cannot say anything of the quality (since it's not out) but from what I've seen, nothing looks relevant to the first game. Still, I'm going to keep an eye on it because it does look nice and it may actually be good. Edited May 4, 2018 by SonicMage117 1 Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
