Holy crap, that made me laugh.
I almost feel like reinstalling windows just to get this game, and try that out.

hog tying them and giving them a free 1 way trip to Hades on the next passenger train is the next best creative way to go. Less chunky bits blown around for the critters to clean up.
I hogtie people who rub me the wrong way and simply leave them alive in the deep brush where nobody can find them and the wildlife can dine at their leisure. I've harvested so many wild animals from Mother Nature that it seems only fair I give something back.
Another thing I need to try.
May drop some predator bait nearby just for good measure.
I blame COD series for the MP nonsense. The original COD had an awesome SP campaign with brits, yanks and ruskis. Add on DLC was good too. But COD2 was shorter, COD 3 didn't even come out on PC, MW had a good but shorter campaign, subsequent WW2 CODs dropped the brits, SP campaigns just got shorter and shorter and shorter as the main focus was on the MP side of things. Other Devs copied.
What I miss most in GTAV is no Ambulance missions, no trucking, no cop missions. All the "faff" around stuff for SP....I presume it's all in GTAOL but I don't bother with it.
Yes. Basically with GTA V, you've missed the essence that was the soul of GTA San Andreas. Nothing will ever come close to the insane degree of sandbox features and addictive game play content they crammed into SA. And that's before you add all the modded content the devs left on the cutting room floor. Which is the reason why fans like myself are still playing heavily modded version of the game to date.
After 6 years, the idyllic graphics of GTA V with its predictable island life, have become completely stale. The absence of the other 2 AWOL metropolitan areas and their transition communities are particularly conspicuous. But unfortunately, AAA devs like R* won't be changing this MVP online formula with their future single player titles. Too much easy billions in profit to be milked from fan boys who're impatient gamers with poor buyer impulse control.
So thanks to the likes of EA, Activision and Rockstar, then IMO it's only a matter of time before Bethesda finds a way to make F76 profitable. Just like they already have with Fallout Shelter and TES Blades, where the non Fallout/TES, casual gamer mobile fan base clearly possess more money than common sense. Then it's only a matter of time before they find a way to efficiently replicate said success with upcoming Starfield (brand new title which will definitely have the cancer that is Creation Club/Atom Store), and legacy TES 6 and/or FO5. Assuming they genuinely intend to make another single player Fallout title that is. If only Bethesda Austin could end up turning F76 into a poison pill. Force Zenimax to sell the title to Microsoft. Who would then revolutionize the course of single player gaming history by gifting it back to its rightful owners Obsidian. Ah well. This fan boy can only dream.

Anyway, to bring this thread back on topic (RDR2), folks might be interested to know that it's available now on Steam... at least to pre-order / pre-load. Will be unlocked at some point today I believe.
Steam link... no, not that Steam link...

Meanwhile, over on Steam the game is released to "mixed" reviews due to a whole slew of unhappy gamers who ran into technical glitches in the first 10 minutes of play and hit the thumbs down button as a first response

Metro Exodus had a similarly bad taste in the mouth reaction when Epic stole it from Valve at the last minute...All I know is is that I just successfully delivered a herd of sheep for auction and am feeling like a boss. Think I'll just mosey on down to the saloon to cool my parched throat and partake of some games of skill and chance.It's the usual Steam community reaction to being last in the queue to sample RDR2...nothing more
I spent an hour or so building a wall of snapping turtles across one of the wooden bridges on the far outskirts of St Denis up near Lagras and watched a veritable traffic jam of NPC's on foot, in carts and on horses trying vainly to negotiate it. Some tried to cross the swampy river and ended up as alligator lunch with horrified and shouting bystanders all drawing their weapons and firing at the happy gators as they fed...
It's sad... and slightly disturbing... that I actually had genuine tears of laughter running down my cheeks..but hey. The fact I could do that just because I chose to is pretty awesome

After about 9 years completing RDR1, sitting out the console and Epic launch, deliberately avoiding reviews, spoilers and even the map itself, yesterday late evening I fired RDR2 up for the first time.
I'm still at the snowy part, but the way this started casts a fantastic ride ahead - launching a new R* open world title is always special.
Nice to see John Marston again (nice touch that his voice actor is the same as in RDR1) too as well as familiar names such as Javier Escuela. I should have gone trough the RDR1 plot again to have these memories refreshed.

I will definitely get this in at some point soon. I have a bit of backlog of stuff to play at the moment, which I think might take me up to the release of CP2077 in February (is it still February? Was it ever February?). When that comes out I'd think it'll keep me entertained for a good long while. Then...then I'll try RDR2
Ninja'd...April 16.
So, RDR2 is finally on Steam.
I was all eager to jump right into it after the long wait, and needless to say, i got RDR1 on its XBox release day and played it to death so you can imagine the anticipation...
...and then i found out my Rockstar Social Club account, to which i hadn't logged in since early 2017 apparently got hijacked later that year, i failed to read the email notice, cause i hardly used the email adress i used for registration for a long time .... still waiting on a reply from R support x.x

Can you not just create another account with a different email address? Regardless, hope you get it sorted soon.
I use Steam for all my games, but it was kinda annoying that the shortcut that RDR2 creates on install doesn't work... so I couldn't launch it directly from Steam. So I've had it set to launch the R* launcher, so I then click 'Play', but it bugged me that the process wasn't automatic. I put it down to the price of not waiting for the Steam release.
Tonight I discovered that if you create another shortcut from the RDR2.exe file, it will launch the R* launcher and then run the game in one action. I'm sure I tried that when I installed it last month, but it didn't work. It does now. Set that up as a non-Steam shortcut, and bingo - RDR2 now launches directly from Steam for a non-Steam version. Overlay works, screenshots work (no more being forced to upload everything to Social Club), although there are clashes with the Social Club, they're easily bypassed.

I could, but then i'd lose my username for good, i used to make GTA machinima, so it would really annoy me, if i had to use a new name.
It's my own fault, don't get me wrong, yet it's super annoying. (Still haven't heard from support, btw, hope i'll get an answer today.)
Also, i want the hijacker to lose his access to my GTA5 key, which i would otherwise give away for good.
This is also an example for why i personally really dislike having multiple launchers or streaming services, you need to keep track of all the accounts and the invoices(regarding the streaming services) you're much more prone to having individual accounts compromised, too.
Let's see how support is gonna react. I'll keep you posted!
They fixed it! I can log in! The West is wild again! xD
So glad this is sorted! They wiped all the data from the account, though, except for the GTAV key.
I almost hope the hijacker had some GTA Online stats leveled and is now weeping in front of the pc, cause not only he's kicked, but hopefully has a lifetime IP ban, too
