In addition, the in-game economy is still fractured, and baked beans are still more valuable than gold rings. Players originally resorted to hunting to pick up the slack, but with the new update, the hunting rewards were slashed in half, from $10 to around $5, likely to force players to spend real money in the game's premium market that includes, among other things, emoticons that will set you back hundreds of dollars in the game's regular cash, or a lot of gold bars. And defending yourself against hostile players nets you your own bounty, making you a prime target to lose all your hard-earned mo

Speaking about accessories, one can assume he is referring to Kinect, old Xbox controllers, and possibly peripherals such as headsets. Xbox has experimented with upgrading backwards compatible games externally, as they did by making the original Red Dead Redemption 4K with updated textures. We'll have to wait a tiny bit more for full details on Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, with the console shipping during Holiday 2

What the devs need to do, then, is inject that same magic into Red Dead Online . At the moment, it just isn’t performing to the standards that the main game deserves, floundering in comparison to GTA Online .

"I played all day and couldn't afford anything decent, " Jim Sterling, a known reviewer, said on his YouTube video . "I ended up spending a lot of the money I was earning on a tin of beans." Four months later, new problems have cropped up, despite the game's economy chugging away like an old-timey steam engine. And the newest update has left players frustra

Nintendo’s own big-hitters like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee have been selling like the proverbial hotcakes, but that’s a given. The truly interesting thing about the Switch is that third-party developers have been embracing it too, to a far greater extent than most of Nintendo’s recent syst

"Griefing," or harassing players by killing them and generally being a criminal (which fits the theme, at least) is another poignant problem. After being killed four times, a "parley" or "feud" option appears, with the intent to either talk out your differences or go at each other, guns blazing. Many players are finding that option inefficient, as if someone wants to troll, they're going to troll. There is no option to abstain from player vs. player com

Your objective -- as you’ve probably guessed -- is to make your way to the opposing team’s base to nab some of their loot and add it to your own stockpile. It sounds simple enough; just the sort of thing Arthur Morgan and his buddies are used to out on the frontier. Lone wolf gunslinging will only carry you so far here, though, because… well, the other team’s also trying to do the same to

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week, Reggie discussed the great success that the Switch has been enjoying, but also a couple of recent shortcomings of the system. One major one being: Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on

I'm sure to the surprise of few, Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 is leading the pack this year with the open-world sim earning 7 different category nominations. Following closely behind is a pair of Sony first-party titles in God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man each of which received 6 nominations each. All three of these aforementioned games are also nominated for the highly-coveted Game of the Year award, with Celeste and Return of the Obra Dinn rounding out the categ
