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
GameStop is also offering some considerable discounts on Nintendo Switch games . Though a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal may seem stingy when compared to most other sales, Nintendo has maintained a remarkably stringent control over the price of games for their new hybrid console, and fans have often rallied against the so-called "Switch tax" which has caused the console’s games to drop in price so rarely. Still, potentially snagging games like Super Mario Party , Mario Tennis Aces , Breath of the Wild , and Mario Odyssey for $30 may be worth it to Nintendo fans. The Japanese company is also slashing prices on Nintendo Labo kits, though, even at a reduced price, that still won’t appeal to every
Spring has sprung, everyone. As PlayStation’s 2018 Black Friday ad may have insinuated, gamers tend to thrive in the less-outdoorsy winter months. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the year can’t provide some equally fruitful game time, though! Major retailers like GameStop and Target are getting into the season by launching a spring sale on which console owners are going to be eager to pou
Prolific retailer Target will also be offering similar discounts, and their sales, much like GameStop’s, will also apply to certain gaming-related merchandise… but that’s mostly for those who haven’t had their fill of Fortnite Monopoly or Pickle Rick plushies. Hey, we’re not judg
Since publishing the story, there have been a few occasional developments. Update 1.07 has rolled out overnight, however it appears to just fix matchmaking in Red Dead Redemption Online. Though Rockstar hasn't confirmed whether the speculation is true yet, there has been a community groundswell to take comparison photos of the game -- either in temps to support or debunk the ambient occlusion issue.
It wouldn't be a Rockstar game without easter eggs, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of them. The game takes place in the Wild West, a land full of strange tales and superstitious folk, so the setting lends itself all too well to secrets of a more supernatural nature. Players have already discovered a few shockers, and we're here to break them down for
Obviously, there is always the chance that there are mitigating factors causing these differences -- in previous rumors of downgrades, these could have been caused by differences in the weather or time of day . On the other hand, it isn't totally uncommon to see assets shift in updates as games are further optimized, either intentionally or unintentionally. However, if this is real and not just unfortunate side-by-side screenshot grabs, it is a shame. One of the principal reasons the game received a 10 from DualShockers is because it was a technical showstopper , including the lighting.
There are several spooks and specters to be found in RDR2. The ghost of a very tragic woman haunts the swamp area, and she's apparently very persistent. The Kotaku article reports that she can be encountered at least 16 times. The swamps also play home to a group called the Nite Folk. They come out at night and reddeadwildland.com are strangely pale, leading some to claim that they're undead. Whatever they are, their tendency to ambush unsuspecting cowpokes makes them an unwelcome si
There doesn’t seem to be any special deal on Nintendo hardware taking place anywhere, which isn’t surprising. Nintendo is notoriously horrible about adequately stocking suppliers with consoles, and Switches almost always come at a premium. That said, there’s a pretty decent sale on the publisher’s eShop which is set to kick off on April 11th , so those who prefer to get their games digitally may want to wait until t
Several things pop up in this comparison photo -- you can see that Arthur's jacket is more illuminated and has far less shadow on the right-most image that has is taken with Update 1.06. Shadows under the bar are less prevalent and the general lighting is all around brighter.
As anybody who’s spent time with the game will tell you, Red Dead 2 is a game of vast possibilities, dizzying scope and… well, it could be one of the all-around biggest games ever made, in terms of the world and freedom to traverse it. Is this really something the Switch could have handled? It’s all moot anyway because it didn’t happen and isn’t likely to, but there it
Talking with Eurogamer , he explained that he’s doing his best to take the whole thing in his stride. After all, it’s "just online trolls having fun," as Colm put it. Nevertheless, with anything like this, there are always those people who can’t let a harmless joke be a harmless joke. Like the person who simply messaged Colm, You’re on my list of [redacted] to shoot on si
