"Red Dead Online will be ready to be explored alone..." That sounds like a dream come true for me! But this being R*, I'm not holding my breath. Still waiting for all that amazing GTAV story DLC...

That's what she said! (I'll show myself out. ?)

Welllllll... <bored, resurrecting old threads, fight me!>

Not sure if anyone posted these 4 extra screens, but I can't be bothered to step away from my baller lifestyle of diaper changes and toddler snot to check thoroughly:

R* Newswire roundup: https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60432/First-Look-Previews-of-Red-Dead-Redemption-2 A half dozen publications wrote features and posted screenshots; I'm having GTA V hype-machine flashbacks!

Edit: Bones beat me by a couple minutes! --- This should maybe have its own thread; not sure if it's directly related to the trailer, but... IGN dropped some goodies this morning. I haven't had a chance to read any of this yet but the first one looks like some impressions from a live demo. http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/05/03/worlds-first-look-at-red-dead-redemption-2 http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/05/03/red-dead-redemption-2-who-is-arthur-morgan http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/05/03/why-red-dead-redemption-2-is-more-than-just-a-prequel-2 http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/05/03/analysis-every-secret-in-red-dead-redemption-2s-new-trailer

<pops in to check comments, blinks once> Is there anything in this DLC for the casual gamer, or can I go back to giving my standard number of fucks?

Zoiks, a R* game delayed? <feigned shock> Bank on at least one more "we're not releasing it until it's perfect", and we'll see this one just in time for the 2018 holiday season. Those screens, tho. Jinkies!

You remind me of myself so much it's spooky. Crew nights are fun, but I can rarely join. I'd be content with occasional DLC providing a handful of solo missions. I don't need an entire new campaign, and I certainly don't care about money or XP. Just a bit of monkeying around without having to coordinate schedules with friends or suffer through randoms. I know, I'm high maintenance.

I'm having a fairly sour evening as I'm coming to realize: GTA Online just isn't fun (for me). At all. Hasn't really been for quite some time. And that's particularly troubling since it is clearly R*'s cash cow. I mean, from a business perspective, I get it; selling Shark Cards to kiddies is a hella lot more profitable than selling a $60 game every couple years to someone like me. Still, seems like there ought to be some kind of happy medium. A huge part of the appeal for the GTA series used to be that it was readily picked up by the casual gamer. Sit down for 30 mins, create a little mayhem, get on with your life. Anymore, the GTA universe revolves around the next DLC, the next vehicle pack, the next kill-the-guy-next-to-you mode. And it falls flat. This isn't what brought me here. I don't want to spend hours upon hours grinding missions to make imaginary money just to be competitive in a race, or whatever goofy adversarial mode comes down the pike. As a consumer, I don't want this. I don't want to be pwned in public lobbies by 13 year old kids who spend hours upon hours honing their virtual skills to feast upon the fresh meat that is me. I'm not particularly good at most of these game modes, but - and here's the kicker - I don't want to HAVE to be particularly good. I just want to play. And lately, it doesn't feel like play. It feels like work, and it blows, and it's depressing. Where has the fun gone? Am I the only one?

fitty showed up for a heist and immediately started slamming whiskey: gtagrl did her best to herd everyone into the planning room: bones propped fitty up long enough to trigger a setup mission: --- bones' doppelganger: He got chippy with me; it didn't end well for him:

I'll be pleased as punch to fill in as needed. For one-off missions. When I'm around. Which is basically never.

There are a number of bodily function jokes as well.

According to the latest Q&A from the newswire... Keep the faith.

Welcome to the club. Dude's got a short fuse and a long memory.

Always gives me a kick to see my Snapmatics in the banner. Tuesday is the wife's birthday, so unless she's secretly been wanting to watch me play GTA, I probably won't make this one.

Anything for 8/25? Not likely I can make it anyway, just curious...

It scores you based on where you end up, not where you land. My guy always stumbles forward a few steps. Took me forever to figure that one out.

Completed Flight School last night and netted around $175k for around 2 hours of work. Missed out on gold for a couple of lessons, so there's still an opportunity to squeeze out a bit more cash. I don't know how to verify this, but it seems like you can make more by grabbing bronze first, then silver, then gold. Each time you earn a new medal the payout is decent, but of course repeating a medal isn't worth much. RP is stunningly awful for each lesson. Absolute garbage.

Motorboating Motorbiking at the Vanilla Unicorn: Bones looking... boney: Circling the drain: Barnyard buffoonery (no clue who is driving in any of these): Kablooey: Getting some sweet air: Kuz doing Kuz things while gtagrl is away: Kuz took my Akuma for a spin: This ended exactly the way it looks like it would end: --- Good times tonight, each of the jobs had its own brand of fun. I especially enjoyed the supercar-ramp-through-Vinewood-Hills race... Mostly because it was no contact, which meant I got yelled at a lot less.

I'll do my usual. Join late, then rage-quit after my connection drops for the third time. Should be a fun 15 minutes.

Outstanding.

Looks like iGTA was here: Got zero good drifting shots, here's the best of the worst: Wacky molotov deathmatch: Molotov fisticuffs: Misc molotov mayhem: Car show meetup: Boundless sexual energy: Cop did NOT want to be photographed; half a second later I would have gotten a shot staring down the barrel of his shotgun: Setting up for Drift Bowling, I was looking forward to this the entire night: And... my connection dropped. $&%#!!! --- Open letter to Ayreon: Sorry for constantly slamming into you during that one drifting race. It's not personal, you see; it's just that I suck at racing. Mr

Indeed.
