>What do you think of Rockstar doing pre-order bonuses on digital weapons just like what they did for GTA5

Geez, I don't fucking know, seems like it's wrong and sends the wrong message.

>>15349618

>digital weapons

Black powder means it's legal to sell it to pretty much anyone and ship it normally in the mail.

>>15349609

Yeah. Too reckless.

>>15349631

Wait, you mean they're bundling an actual revolver? Has anyone done that before?

do it

It's a really bad idea, considering the IQ of the typical Rockstar product customer who was not aware of the legal status of BP pistols and long guns.

>>15349655

yes, an actual black powder gun.

>>15349633

It's not like I would be bundling a conversion cylinder as well.

>>15349668

Well, as cool as it sounds, it would probably end up being a PR disaster. I could definitely see them partnering up with a gunsmith or something though to make special lever-actions and revolvers, but bundling a weapon with the game is just going to backfire.

That'd be fucking cool. Probably the first special edition I'll buy.

you know how it would be spun and how bad it would go down in todays political climate

They should bundle a cheap new-production navy pocket with no firing pin and a bore obstruction, labelled as "deactivated" but easily re-activated.

>>15349735

Its rockstar, they love controversy.

Or at least they used to.

>>15349740

And the company they are a corporate bitch for? Think they wouldn't buckle under that pressure?

>>15349714

But is it going to be on PC?

Bongistani here, gonna use it to shoot up school wish me luck m80s.

I'll buy two to duel-wield! I just have to figure out how I'll use my Nintendo Switch™ to play Red Dead Redemption 2 at the same time!

Just buy the gun then if you're interesting in owning one. I own one of these and have plenty of fun with it in my noguns country.

>>15349609

I personally would love to see that, but at most, they'll do a non-firing replica, which would still be cool as shit.

I'm legally not allowed to own guns because I assaulted someone while psychotic.

If I purchase this, will I automatically be committing a felony and be put in prison? Can I claim that I didn't know it had the gun and counter-sue rockstar?

>>15350447

Black powder weapons are not considered firearms. You can mail order one today. I would also look into air guns (not airsoft, mind you). They're fun and completely legal for anyone to use, even children, women, and felons.

>>15350447

hahahaha imagine being this cucked

Pros:

It's legal in most states, would be a fun project, depending on quality, could actually be useful.

Cons:

PR disaster with liberals and gun grabbers, morons would probably assemble it wrong and then off themselves trying to shoot it.

BP guns actually require maintenance and careful attention to detail.

>>15350605

"The thing that anyone sane would assume is a gun replica turned out to be an actual gun" sounds pretty reasonable, provided he can convince people that he managed to miss that it's a real one.

>>15350452

>>15350447

Depends on the state. Some states make them full firearms, others prohibit felons from owning black powder.

>>15349609

Neat I guess. Surprised someone approved it. Can't wait for it to either be non-functioning and cause people to bitch, or it to be genuine and cause people to bitch. Prepare for scalpers ahoy.

>>15349735

>>15350613

>PR disaster

Sounds more like a marketing stunt. Bad publicity is still publicity. Especially if it actually works.

>>15350617

>assumptions

Maybe it'll work with luck and an extremely kosher lawyer. I mean, OJ was found innocent, because his wifes gloves didn't fit him. The American judicial system is pretty weird. Also, I think R* will probably write it in big red letters on the box that it's not a replica or something.

>>15349609

eagles cry out in freedom right now

>>15350447

yes

>bundle guns with game

>leftists falseflag/media says gun crime was "probably" done with one of these

>people cant be trusted to own guns

>more gun control

too predictable

i've always wished that they would make actual bundles that might appeal to adults with games. when MGS4 came out i remember thinking that it would be a cool idea to bundle a version of it with a pack of the cigarettes Snake smokes, for example, or even just one of his mobile ashtray/cigarette holder things that he has. but it's never going to happen because for some retarded reason even M rated games are treated as if they're advertised to/are meant for little kids

that said, as ironic as it sounds i spent some time in China and I saw more cool, grown-up bundles for (likely bootleg) special editions of games than anywhere else ever. there was a copy of I think Persona that came with a promotional brand of chu-hi, which is a sweet korean liquor drink, and i saw a special edition of I think MGS3 that came with a promotional MGS-branded bottle of bijo, which is a truly vile chinese rice wine

>>15349609

They would hit the news and get all the liberals angry. In this day and age, I would consider it free press. Though I don't think bringing attention to certain guns be legal and not restricted is a good idea with faggots trying to change the law every which way.

>>15349609

>>15350974

>>15350933

Why not just bundle it with an actual horse?

>>15351005

its rated m

>>15351010

do you think that stopped little juan from getting his GTA V copy?

>>15351000

That would then cost what, $1000+? Then there would be stories of furries raping the horse or it being turned into glue.

>>15351005

Yes.

Shall not be infringed upon, leftypol.

>>15351084

We could take this even further.

>Hitman game bundled with a chloroform-soaked rag

>Mario game bundled with a brick

>Sonic game bundled with a roll of toilet paper

>>15351214

He was one of the bosses I didn't want to fight.

>>15349609

Is that a mormon avenging angel?

>>15351084

>chinese game

>beatable in ~4 hours

>reckless?

Quite the opposite

>>15351244

It's not a Chinese game, but a Chinese bundle of a real game. A real game with a depressingly short campaign (thats the second use of the liquor)

Although bundling actually Chinese games with liquor would be a good way to jew chink your consumers into spending extra money in the lottogrind and in-game storefront.

Truly the yellow rats have thought of everything.

>>15351014

Little Jaun can't pay afford 450 dollars for single game.

>>15351734

But his parents can

What can I use in nyc for self defense? I'm unironically considering resorting to BP.

>What are you idea on trusting R* ever again

You won't make me buy shark cards nor your next game's Hosefucker cards, kill yourself cocksucker.

>>15351185

The M1911 was designed over a century ago and is still used in combat zones today.

>>15349609

do you even know how much these ball revolvers cost? the cheapest one is 5k, rockstar cucks may be braindead but shark cards are $60 a week/month, pretty insignificant for the average adult/rich millennial, they ain't gonna put down 6k on a special edition of a game bundled with an useless gun when they can get the game somewhere else for ((($69.99))) and a glock for $500, and that's if any of those soyboys actually wants a gun

>>15353347

I wonder how realistic it feels

I think we might need more of those. Can you just buy stickers that say that?

>>15353412

i meant the tits

>>15353482

Okay but you got my joke right

>>15353386

>5k

Dunno whatever overpriced hellhole you live in, but here in America, you can get a good Uberti reproduction BP pistol starting at a little over $300 brand new.

Not some shitty pot metal Chinese garbage, but a high quality reproduction that in some cases uses the original tooling, and built to a high standard that satisfies shooters and collectors.

They're regularly used in Cowboy Action Shooting competitions and by the movie industry.

Its probably going to have an orange tip to comply with US regulations

Why don't you just buy a gun. Black powder is cheap as fuck.

>>15353405

Oh don't worry, there will be revolvers in the game.

You mean Red Dead Redemption 2

This is actually the 3rd Red Dead game

That said I usually don't care for what Rockstar does, I'm not incredibly surprised since IIRC the heads of it hover around the Gary Johnson end of the spectrum so this could get amusing

>>15351005

>do you really want a bunch of underage running around armed with real guns?

YES

Been thinking of getting more revolvers, I like my GP 100, but always found myself drawn towards Ruger's Single Action offerings, only downside is they're pricey as fuck.

>>15350932

>Airsoft

Are you aware of David Lyjonhelm

>>15349609

Bad idea, because it is a hunk of crap like most pre order bonus stuff, I bet. Breaks in an afternoon.

>>15353505

yeah but it wasn't funny

>>15353347

Or you missed the point because that looks fucking retarded.

>>15355460

>Oh man that product looks retarded

>Lets start screeching about how it needs to be pulled

I am sure that's what truly happened, based sjws saving us all from making poor choices.

>>15353303

no, bows are not used in combat zones. i don't what kind of european cultural bullshit this is, but it's definitely not a combat zone

It'd be cool, but seeing as it's a preorder bonus, it'd probably be made cheaper than the disc the game is printed on, and would take your hand and most of your face if you attempted to fire it.

>>15353799

>300 brand new

Cabelas frequently has them on sale for 270 (for the highest end fancy finish ones) or less, and for a while (haven't seen them lately) you could get 100 buck gift cards for 80 bucks, so effectively only 240 at most, and that's if you wanted a steel frame instead of a shitty brass one. Brass frames work, but they wear out much sooner.

I approve of the idea, if for no other reason than to see dumb niggers try to figure out how it works and end up with nasty black powder burns from overloading or trying to wad it like a fucking muzzle loader. Knowing the quality of Rockstar's products, I wouldn't be surprised if the side of the gun blows out like it was made of legos the first time someone fucks up the loading.

>>15349609

can i shoot myself with it?

>>15356323

always measure your powder!

>>15356323

If you've never owned one it's pretty fun, lots of work though which makes you appreciate cartridges and smokeless powder just a bit more. You can't use smokeless powder cause the burn rates are different

>>15353347

I remember how that one games journalist made a complete ass of himself by giving a retailer crap for distributing it.

Bad idea, there are a few rare psychopaths that actually play games like this because they know they can’t go on killing sprees in real life without major consequences. Columbine shooters with Doom is a good example of this. It’s probably a bad PR move to even potentially be selling a firearm to someone like this, even if nothing were to come from it.

>>15356571

eric and dylan did nothing wrong.

>>15356571

but anon they actually went on a killing spree

>>15356571

>Columbine shooters with Doom is a good example of this

Are you an old man who gets his information from television news channels?

You might as well try and argue the same of nu-metal and dark clothes.

Besides, when was the last time someone went on a shooting spree with a blackpowder gun?

>>15356976

do you really not remember the mass discrediting campaign that began with that exact premise? the columbine kids made their own maps and played the game, it got talked about for at least a year and was the first piece of ammo they used to try and pin it on vidya

>>15356989

Any of those maps online somewhere?

>>15357097

i typed 'eric harris doom map' into search and the first fucking result had it. stop being a lazy nigger.

http://www.acolumbinesite.com/eric/doom.php

I love it, but I'd never buy a rockstar product in CY +3. Anyone going on about "you'll shoot your eye out" shit is a nanny state baby, and worrying about a left that cannot be placated is the most bend over form of faggotry there is. Grow a pair.

>>15353347

game was shit tbh
