Red Dead Redemption 2 's online beta officially released on November 27th (with a steady stream of access depending on when you bought the game and which edition you purchased), and after having months of bugs, economic woes, and users abusing the system, the latest update has rolled out, but users say it fails to fix many of the game's issues such as griefing and a broken econ

In fact, some eagle-eyed users were able to spot the visual discrepancies then. User RolfStarGames on the GTA Forums captured the below images doing a thorough investigation between the original build and captures post Update 1.03. You can check those images in the following gallery:

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.

"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

In the latest mode to hit Red Dead Online , you’re going to need all the skills you carefully honed during the main game to prevail. You’re going to need to co-operate better than the van der Linde gang often do,

In short, if you’re a player who likes to be a little more tactical than barrelling around and spraying bullets like Arnold Schwarzenegger in… absolutely all his movies, Spoils of War is probably for you.

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

Fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 have had a long time to wander around its expansive world as Arthur Morgan, and experience it's incredible story and atmosphere. However, while the single-player content has been absolutely stellar (and so lengthy that some of us haven't even made it to the epilogue yet), the multiplayer component has been rather thin in comparison. Now it seems like that's about to cha

There's a good chance you will need to blow these images up to notice the difference, especially if you are a newcomer to ambient occlusion. Put simply, ambient occlusion is a game rendering realistic lighting based on the actual geometry in the room -- if a lighting source would be blocked, we wouldn't expect to see every inch of nooks and crannies. For a visual demonstration, you can take a look at this (thanks to website GamingScan ):

Even still, it doesn't appear that an explicit downgrade to shadowing via ambient occlusion was noted in the Rockstar patch notes .

When the round begins, it’s a mad dash to the center of the map where nine supply bags await to be collected. At this point, you essentially have one of two options: post up from afar and pick off anyone who runs to the pile of supplies with your long-ranged weapon, or smash-and-grab your way to the loot before running back towards your base in a serpentining fashion so as to not be shot in the back. Both methods have their charm, as long as you’re honest with the type of player you are. Just make sure that you are using any of the Dead Eye Ability cards available to you and your team. If you are a confident sharpshooter, you’re probably better suited to provide support. If you’re less talented at shooting, well… hopefully, your stamina is maxed out. You’ll be running - a
