Online is way better since the recent update. They added new missions, randomn stranger encounters, updated the hostility system so now you don't get griefed all the time, more stranger missions, poncho's, new weapons, and a bunch of other stuff. They're gonna add specific roles this summer, you can choose to be a bounty hunter, trader or collector.

Aye brehs..



I just ran across a certain cabin for the first time...



It was locked... I broke in...
Looked around...

Picked up a letter "to Glenn & Eddie" from "momma"...

Telling them she went to get the family money back from the bad men who stole it


Said there was enough food for 4 days... But she said she'll be back by "tomorrow night"

Said not to answer the door for NO ONE.

Said, "You boys practice your reading like momma taught you"


Brehs... I looked around

Looked at some bunk beds... And the emaciated corpses of two young boys were there.

One curled up in the fetal position and the other dead on the floor.



shyt was all fukked up and saddening.



This game, brehs... A fukking living masterpiece.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Managed to avoid all spoilers and all so im good.


How is the online mode ?

Just started.. It’s ok so far but again I’m in the very beginning of it but more content for Red Dead is always a wonderful thing

 

[Blackout]

Finished up the new missions. Not bad and the final evil mission was a nice touch than the usual ones.

 

[DPresidential]

So...any of my single player or die brehs cosigning the new online updates?

Should I actually venture into that land?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So I haven’t been active on here like that cuz I just been mad busy and never got back to gaming like this, then when I did. I finally cracked open 2K which I had for a minute and never played.

shyt starting to calm down around me and with the holiday coming this week & some vacation time.

How many hours do you have into the game?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

How many hours do you have into the game?

Countless

And then I lost some via that incident where I was actually in Ch4. But some fukk shyt happened and I didn’t want to go on with that time line so I went back to my last manual save and it was back in Ch3

That’s part of the reason why I put the game down

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC: everything we know | PC Gamer

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC: everything we know
By Samuel Roberts 9 days ago

All the evidence and rumors for Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC in 2019.

Rockstar has kept us waiting when it comes to news on Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC. This feels familiar, after the long, year-plus wait for GTA 5. RDR2 has launched on consoles, and Red Dead Online has launched too—it's inarguably one of the defining games of its era, particularly in the creation of its world. If Red Dead Redemption 2 is destined to come to PC, we're probably going to hear about it in 2019.

There's no official news yet, but there are reasons to be hopeful about RDR2 coming to PC. Shortly after the game's console launch, the official companion app was apparently datamined, and it strongly points towards Red Dead Redemption 2's eventual release on PC, with suggested graphics options and more. This remains the best evidence yet that the game will arrive on PC—scroll down for more.

In this article, we sum up what we know about the evidence pointing towards the game's possible PC release, plus we explore Rockstar's background of staggering ports on PC to see if we can make an informed guess on when Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive on our PCs (assuming it does).

The latest relevant news item on Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC came in May 2019, when it was mentioned on a Rockstar staff member's LinkedIn page.

A PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 is mentioned on a former physics programmer's LinkedIn page

Red Dead Redemption 2 Linkedin

As picked up by Reddit, a former physics programmer from Rockstar Toronto mentions a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 on LinkedIn. Could it be an oversight, or a sign that a PC version exists already?

A fake rumor that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be announced in April was total nonsense

Earlier this year, a rumor started to circulate based on a ***** post that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be revealed on PC on April 22, with the game then releasing on PC on July 9. In addition to that, the post apparently said that it'll be an Epic Games Store exclusive. This same leaker also posted a day earlier to say that Super Mario Odyssey was being revealed for PC soon, too, so...yeah. It was a fake.

It doesn't mean Red Dead Redemption 2 won't come to PC, though. And given that games from both 2K (Borderlands 3) and Private Division (The Outer Worlds)—both owned by Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive—have exclusivity periods on the Epic Games Store, you can see why a fake leak might draw that link.

Red Dead Redemption 2's companion app datamine is still the best evidence we've seen of a PC version

A companion app that launched alongside Red Dead Redemption 2 apparently suggests that a PC version is in the works. As uncovered by Rockstar Intel, parameters in the app seemingly point towards PC graphics options, like anisotropic quality levels, TXAA, particle shadow quality, particle lighting quality, motion blur strength, grass quality, reflections, shadow distance and more. The most telling, though, is this line: 'CommandIsPcVersion(void) 000000000166A12C'.

Reference is also made to Oculus in the parameters, suggesting there might be some VR compatibility if the game comes to PC. Collectively, this is probably the strongest evidence yet that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC. Fingers crossed we'll find out more about all this soon.

An alleged Red Dead Redemption 2 PC 'leak' with graphics options was posted to YouTube



An off-screen recording of what's allegedly Red Dead Redemption 2 running on PC and a graphics options menu was posted to YouTube, and discussed intensely on Reddit. It's since been deleted along with the original account by the user, but it was reuploaded shortly after—see above. The menu shows the option to adjust vsync, shader quality, texture quality, shadow quality, reflection quality and more. We've reached out to Rockstar to see if this RDR2 PC leak is real or not. Either way, it's not a bad effort—the fonts all look pretty correct. But some elements give away that it's probably not the real deal.

Where are the rest of the graphics options, for example? Why not show actual in-game footage? Why, when the resolution changes, isn't there a menu suggesting Where's GTA 5's video memory bar? There's the option for FXAA in the menu, but the companion app data dump below suggests TXAA will be one of the anti-aliasing options, while the console version's default is TAA—so it doesn't quite line up.

Almost a month later, it hasn't been taken down, and some outlets have noted the build number is of the day one version of the console game—so we're pretty certain it's a fake. That doesn't mean Red Dead Redemption 2 won't come to PC in 2019, though—read below for the best evidence suggesting its existence so far.

Take-Two is asked about Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC, but won't commit to anything
During an investor call in early November, Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick was asked about the chances of Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC. The answer was a little disappointing, but predictable. "In terms of ongoing releases, Rockstar will talk about what their intentions are going forward with regard to all upcoming products and that the same would hold true for platform. So, in this particular instance, I can't really give you too much clarity, apologies." That means the app datamine leak below remains the best evidence RDR2 is coming to PC.

If Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC, then, we can be certain the news will come from Rockstar itself.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC briefly appeared on LinkedIn, and a listing appeared on a retailer site

An anonymous Rockstar employee's LinkedIn profile used to list Red Dead Redemption 2 as coming to PC (via VG247), before it was changed. Before the leak above, this was the closest thing to a smoking gun on Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC so far. Then again, it could just be an error.

When asked about the possibility of Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC last year, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick only had this to say. "Any updates about any of our titles will come from our labels."

Elsewhere on the rumor front, a listing appeared for a PC version of the game on the Dutch retailer Media Markt. It was later revealed, though, that it's just a placeholder. It's hard not to admire their optimism.

Here's how long it usually takes Rockstar games to come to PC
- GTA 4 took about seven months to make the jump to PC.
- LA Noire took about six months to arrive on PC.
- Max Payne 3 launched just two weeks after console versions in 2012, but then it's fair to say this was historically considered a PC series.
- GTA 5 arrived 17 months after the PS3/Xbox 360 versions, and five months after the more comparable Xbox One and PS4 versions. It was originally meant to launch about three months earlier, however, in January 2015, and was originally announced alongside the 2014 console versions at E3 2014.

If we were to make an informed guess on when Red Dead Redemption 2 does come to PC, then, history tells us it'll probably be a wait of about five-to-seven months. That would be a release date of summer 2019. Dare we hope? It's nearly summer 2019 already, though, and we've still heard nothing more about it—so maybe the wait will be a little longer this time.

A decision on whether to bring Red Dead Redemption 2 to PC has probably already been made. When we spoke to Rockstar North about GTA 5's PC release back in 2015, they said they planned for it from day one. "We were always going to bring GTA 5 to PC."

Why did Red Dead Redemption never come to PC?

Red Dead Redemption never came to PC after its original release in 2010, and Rockstar answered (vaguely) as to why that was the case back in 2011. "All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform)—we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms." That was a long time ago, though, and even at the time the company was bringing LA Noire, GTA and Max Payne 3 to PC.

You have to go back 10 years to find another major Rockstar console game that skipped PC (Midnight Club: Los Angeles).

GTA 5 sold a bucketload on PC, so it's unlikely Red Dead Redemption 2 would skip our platform

GTA 5 has sold over 90 million copies in total, which is an incredible feat. On Steam, it's sold 12,604,123 copies according to recent data released about player counts on Valve's platform. This doesn't include copies sold in physical form or through third-party resellers, however, where the game redeems through Rockstar Social Club, so the actual player count is likely to be a fair bit higher than that. This makes a pretty good case for Red Dead Redemption 2 to come to PC.

Just out of curiosity have you read any story spoilers? Or do you still not know how the game ends?

Just out of curiosity have you read any story spoilers? Or do you still not know how the game ends?

I have NO idea..... like the last thing I know is the boy got kidnapped and we was going to the big city to get him.



I told the story a few weeks back but will tell it again cuz it’s tragic. But it’s funny.

What happened and why I stopped playing (in addition to life and just got busy at work) was cuz one weekend I like did ALL THIS shyt;

Got some legendary pelts, grinder and found some treasure map treasure, did a lot of hunting, hell even got to Chap 4

Then I get to the big town, was about to trade my pelts in

Then I hear this guy talking big shyt. Now knowing the politics of the game I already knew if I shot him first or defended myself (cuz if I recall either he aimed his gun at me or I can tell he was about to) the law will come ONLY for me. So what I did was on my horse ran away.

But then I turned around and went full speed and ran is ass over.

In all the commotion and drama, as I’m riding off and laughing... on the side of believe St Denis... I didn’t realize I was on the train tracks and yet alone a train was coming and we got fukkED UP!!

I survived but my horse..... my best and fav horse died so I IMMEDIATELY tried to go to the last “auto save” and when I went there. I see my horse was still dead I was with my backup.

So then I go back to my last manual save..... and now I’m back on Chap3.

So I was like “fukk this shyt”

At a certain point I turned off Auto Saved and mainly did manual saves for the majority of the game, I'm glad I did because there were times I got caught up into some bullshyt and would have been fukked had it been auto saved.
