What other games are we all playing?

What do you mean as exact same? Are you refering to having all the identical features like RPGing eating in saloons, bathing, etc etc. that you can do in RDR2?
No no, I understand what RDO is as I play it casually on PS4. I just wanted to make sure this $5 deal wasn't some watered-down limited version of RDO.
 
But for me, its still better than Casino heist and i don't have to rely on getting people in the final stage who are a) not cheaters and b) not gimps.... i mean, i'm a gimp, so we don't need 2!
Same here.
  1. The simple pleasure of being able to complete all setups/preps & heist launch from your crew or Invite Only sessions.
  2. Be placed right back into said sessions.
  3. With zero future need of having to worry about the Harry Potter Broomstick griefer club :ROFLMAO:
Also, do not mention MrBossFTW! Every time someone mentions his name god kills a kitten!
For some reason, I've constantly seemed to have the misfortune of encountering that annoying Man child in many of my game sessions.

And no, I'm not an evil troll living under a bridge. I transcend this. I'm simply the Satanic id that goads my otherwise lone wolf, jaded, PvE minded PC to commit demonic acts of sadism. He randomly picked me as a target for canon fodder to test his OC (when that DLC came out a while back). So yeah, the dude simply triggers me every time his name comes up in my gaming session. :love:

So yes, I basically resorted to doing what 98% of the public lobby typically ended up doing. Joining his 12 year old brony posse club fan base to get a free live stream nod. All while accidentally sabotaging dying on his live stream missions.

See what I mean? 😃 The majority of players I've met online have this opinion about him. They'll go out of their way to sabotage have fun on his live stream missions. Or just drop all pretenses and kill him outright on sight (as I've unabashedly done as favorite pastimes to date). :ROFLMAO:

But what's frightening is it doesn't seem that Ross even realizes the extent to which players despise the fact he breathes to date. :geek:

Oh right gotcha. Yes this is the same RDR2 Online that you had to P2P from buying the $60 license fee of single player RDR2

Well, i'm not in favour of greifers just randomly killing people, but MrBossFTW has earned his reputation as the most hated person in the GTA community.
 
Those are more accolades by individual entities. I meant the overall heavy weight winner for GOTY 2018 which was GoW

Sure, it didn't win that particular one, but it's won 175 GOTY worldwide, and has over 275 "perfect" review ratings. It's the highest rated game on PS4.

I don't think the R* devs are feeling hard done by. 🤷‍♀️

GoW of course is also a great game.
 
I'm playing the Christmas Game.

Here in Australia it' 9:24am Christmas day and my wife still hasn't realised I slipped an extra (big!) present under the tree for her last night... now just waiting for our teenage daughter to wake up so that we can open them. Luckily, this game has a very relaxing grind, with plenty of loot boxes. Merry Christmas everyone! :)
 
i have a quick question. I have been playing Project Cars, the 1st one; on-line. Why can't i drive a car from my garage, or even load a car set-up, if I play on-line?

Or: Can I.

I don't want to use any form of cheat. I have my Mustang GT set up, to do the ring in under 8:20, but I can't drive it or load it, into an on-line race. I have to sort-of remember, how it is set up and do my best.
 
Since most of the Christians who made it this far north were usually burned at the stake...happy Yuletide to all fellow dandelion worshippers ;)

It must have changed then. When I was wee, my Auntie lived in Stornaway on the isle of Lewis. We visited - for some reason my parents wanted to wash the car before heading back to the mainland. It was Sunday. That was most definitely not allowed, and my Auntie wouldn't let them do it because she would be ostracised by the island if they were spotted. Apparently, my Dad still did it - on his hands and knees, hiding behind the car the whole time. 😄

However, merry winter solstice festival to you and yours.

Orkney is way different to the Western isles, they're the proper Norse Viking Christian burners up here and very proud of it...but aye, having lived over there in the Tìr nan Gàidheal for many years...there are distinctly 2 communities on every island. The 'Wee Frees' (Free Presbyterian church of Scotland) and the run of the mill Roman Catholics. All the Western isles are Scots Gaelic with Gaelic being the primary spoken language throughout..

The Wee Frees consider it a mortal sin to break the Sabbath, no matter the reason... so I can understand your dad hiding behind the car. Whistling or singing on the Sabbath is also forbidden, hence why church services are held on a Saturday.

In South Uist where I lived, the entire island was 99.9% Roman Catholic (with me and mine being the other .1% and looked on fondly as the equivalent of being friendly devil worshippers), North Uist were Wee Frees. I was fortunate enough though that I was a native Gaelic speaker so as well as accepting us as a family, my kids were welcomed into the Gaelic medium at school rather than being lumped in with the few other white settlers kids in the mostly neglected English medium. My kids learned to read, write and count in Gaelic before English (besides home teaching)...much as I had as a kid. I had no English until I was nearly 7 years old.

I'll relate a true story from my time on Uist just for context ...A young boy from South Uist and a girl from North Uist had to elope in secret to the mainland to get married after their romantic connection was discovered by their parents.

When they returned they were shunned by both communities as well as their respective families with the term 'mixed marriage' being passed around in shocked whispers. If they had remained rather than chosen to elope, their relationship wouldn't have been allowed by either community and neither the Catholic nor Presbyterian church would have married them, blessed any union between them or baptised any of their children. After their brief return, they left the island forever to make new lives on the mainland.

Such a story wouldn't have been uncommon a few hundred years ago, it's eye opening when you realise this happened in the 1990's. After you've lived in the Outer Hebrides for a few years, the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland seems more like a good natured disagreement between friends ;)

This is horrible. Spent 3 hours this morning trying the Velum approach to the Cayo Perico heist with disguise this morning and its terrible. I keep making mistakes and getting spotted, driving into trees, or missing targets.

I could have done the sub approach and set up another heist in the same time.

One problem is, there are no supply trucks at any of the known spawn locations, which was my plan, so i have to deviate for a grappling hook and go over the wall. This is a lot riskier.

But i shall persevere!

My one visit to Stornoway was an involuntary one. The skid marks are probably still on the runway... (no, I didn't overrun, or depart the runway) :(
 
Getting to the end of Assassin's Creed Origins. Quite enjoying it; huge map, lots of areas of interest to explore/ransack; good graphics; pretty polished game all in all.
I finished A.C. Odyssey sometime last year - and after playing Origins, while enjoying them both, I can't help but think that Odyssey was just a re-skin of Origins - with some minor changes to things.
Not sure if that's because they were set in similar time period and location, or if that is just how the A.C. games are (I've not played any of the others).
So with Valhalla out now, I was wondering what other people thought about how that compares to Odyssey - does Valhalla seem like a different game, or is it another re-skin with tweaks ?
 
Really recommend taking advantage of the online promo before the Feb 15th deadline. But make sure to play as much of the single player campaign first.
I'm glad I went with the $5 RDO instead of the $40 full version. RDR2 looks better on PC than PS4 (obviously), but not that much better IMO. In fact, seeing RDR2 on PC makes me appreciate all the more just what Rockstar achieved on the console version. Now ED, on the other hand, looks night and day different on my PC compared to PS4 (the latter being unplayable for me personally).

So I'll continue my story mode on PS4 with my big TV, and I'll play RDO on my laptop while my wife plays RDO on PS4. I just wish we could play together, but who knows if we'll ever get cross-play or not. Does GTA offer cross-play?

ps - usually I'm better at games like this than my wife, but in RDO she is a force to be reckoned with, while I'm still very much a noob.
