  • It’s… a little complicated. Sorry, saying 1 wasn’t exactly clear – Red Dead Revolver is a precursor to Red Dead Redemption, so they are different games.

    Revolver was released in 2004 and is a smaller game, featuring a different character, referenced in newer games as an Easter egg. It actually was a partnership between Capcom and Rockstar, with Rockstar finishing the game after they bought the rights.

    Red Dead Redemption was in 2010 and is larger, it also had the DLC Undead Nightmares released.

    And then Red Dead Redemption 2 is obviously the followup to Redemption 1.

    I think the best way to look at it is from the in game narrative, the gameplay of Revolver is a retelling of the events which have been greatly exaggerated after becoming a legendary story. Which is why the references to Revolver in the later games are like tall tales.

    Anyway, long story short, no not Revolver. What just came out is a rerelease of Red Dead Redemption 1 and Undead Revolver, the 2010 game.









  • I don’t think (most) people love Bill Clinton because he’s wealthy, they love him because he was the last politician who made policies that benefited Americans so much that we had the largest surplus in history.

    They love him because of his personality on top of the things he accomplished, at the time despite valid criticisms like lying under oath. He does get a pass from a lot of liberals, usually because he had so many actually effective policies.

    On the other hand, many Trump supporters do actually love him because he is wealthy. They like that his policies were aimed at negatively targeting specific groups of people. There’s a big difference between appreciation of a politician who did a lot of good policy while being a bad person, support of a bad person who did a lot of bad policy.

    All this to say – they are both supported, but the reasons for it are very different. And honestly, in all my time I’ve never come across someone who loves a Clinton because they are rich. I have come across many Trump supporters who do love Trump because he’s (supposedly) rich.


  • It’s alright, I played for a little bit after it released cause I was bored.

    At the time, the queue times were fairly long and the game length was either very quick or a reasonable match length, no in between. It seemed like most people liked one character and anyone playing anyone else was new. At the time, it was very fast paced, but very floaty. There was also not a lot of impact on some of the guns, no real feeling of recoil on the sniper or the SMG.

    I’m sure that has changed in the few weeks-~month since I haven’t played. It’s a fun point and clicker, but with the length of the queue times I’d rather play something else.
