The Slow, Painful Death of Red Dead Online

Yeah it just sucks that this was the one crazy good cowboy game and you can’t even do the awesome outlaw/lawbringer stuff you see from movies

It’s so sad they never touched undead nightmare and make a sequel. At least make zombies horde mode but nope nothing.

Man Im still waiting for then to fix Bully

I’m very picky when it comes to games I play, I’ve always heard of RDR2 but never thought of giving it a shot, well I started playing less than a week ago and I’m having so much fun with it, game looks great and I’m quite disappointed that it won’t be getting many more but updates to it

I quit RDO pretty early on, id come back to try major updates but the systwm is designed for the vast majority of players to need to use money to actually do some of the fun things or unlock desired weapons or clothing. Nobody i know that is an adult, working a job, or has kids has the time, money, or patience to really commit. Rockstar had no good roadmap for the online service and there every attempt was overshadowed by the even greater image theyattainprotraying of unearned greed, i dont think they ever gave RDO an honest try. They never even made DLC for singleplayer like most gamers wished

It’s crazy cause this game has so much potential, in played it online for so long just hoping it would improve and they just let it die on us

Honestly should have seen it coming. With the first red dead just about the same thing happened

Real question why the hell did they make the guns sway when you fire them, it doesn’t make it more realistic is it your first shot goes perfectly straight and then the next take a 75° angle obviously that’s not how guns work it’s one of the most dumb mechanics they’ve ever had to the game

So in love wit Harriette. She’s so adorable 🥰

Imagine this: you start your character two years ago, with the sole intent of role playing it. And now ur stuck with it, bcuz u only have one character slot. I roleplay as a Lakota girl, who’s true to her culture, (bows, tomahawks, etc) she only uses guns to hunt bcuz of the perfect kill system. She dressed as a native, she behaves like a native. I immerse as her when I play. So pvp griefers have extra fun w me bcuz while they’re sniping me with rifles Im crouched sneaking from cover to cover in an attempt to get a decent shot with my bow. I’m already locked in, all my grinding has went towards building up my Lakota girl. It would look and feel stupid if, just to combat griefers, I dawned twin revolvers, a shotgun and molotavs, and started wearing spurs and chaps with a cowboy hat. Idk the point of my rant, it just sucks.

Honestly I’ve gotten to a point this year with GTA online it’s kinda dead for me I don’t care to play gta anymore this year I’ll go back and enjoy what RDO has 😅 till when GTA 6 comes I’ll just be on RDO way more and still keep playing RDO with GTA 6 when it does come out.

PVE AND PVP SERVERS being a idea is dum cause of rockstars terrible servvers did u mention PARLEY FEATURE

This game had so many problems but for it's the greatest game of all time

I met my fiance through it finding out we only lived 20 mins away from each other and used to have dates in red dead during COVID times thank you rockstar but also so sad cause this game really had so much potential but people rather ride flying bikes than horses

Look up a picture of the group working on GTA 6 and if you’re not convinced it’ll be shit after that I don’t know what to tell you

If they could sell you a horse with rocket boosters, they would care about the online.

crazy that the wild west got ruined by corporate greed

and they just released red dead 1 with no online mode what a fucking joke of a company there’s no point in “remastering” it if that’s what you’d call it if you’re not even bringing back the best part of it

the discord server i used to play in for RDO would have an APB people could put out in general chat if you were getting griefed. You could have 3-7 people just drop in immediately. We made a LOT of money saving each other from griefers.

Red dead online makes me afraid for gta 6, the prizing will most likely be crazy, im going to call it now gta 6 will have a battlepass

Rockstar pays by the hour, not by the job

after ALL these years i am still mad that cuckstar still ... made the hunter carriage and bounty hunts online exclusive
fuck that

"7 months pass, no update no communication either"
meanwhile tf2 players:

compared o gta police so much easy one the things hated is the sheriff are way to strong and response time to you do npc have cell the ui could been better with quests i had to look a lot of stuff . i don't like the quest were you have to look for people boring. i wanted i be outlaw you have to do quest in order sell stuff.

I liked the close the app update best

Slow?

I just recently got back into RDR2 Online because several of my friends just got into it. I'm the grizzly old vet teaching 3 new players. I'm having a blast

RDO was DOA.

They didn't even put jeans in online

The fact the KKK roleplayers weren't mentioned even once is appalling lol

I mean I come on and off on the RDO I enjoyed being a hunter, it was really fun for me to just go around hunting and enjoying the environment around me but I wish they didn’t give up

Every decision they made is what led to the downfall imo. Let me preface it by saying I started online from day 1. The very first update, changing the map to proximity, made the game feel dead, meeting new players after beta was non existent, you would spend hours riding around seeing noone and as soon as you did, instead of them greeting you, they would shoot you instead out of boredom. They could have capitalized on mtx, had they not made it a dual economy like story mode. Had they focused on either cash or gold, they could have sold it. Then of course the daily challenges, giving people as much gold as they did through daily challenges did not entice people to want to buy gold. They just made tons of bad decisions followed by lack of content and the content they did add like straw beards was gimmicky and laughable, almost as if they had the interns creating content instead of a seasoned dev team.

We all feel the same way. Information from insiders say it was a change of employees and the addition of DEI wish is great because GTA6 is being makes by them GREAT

This guy looks like Daniel larson

You where the fool for humering this cesspit when it was obviously going to be a greed driven milking machine from minute 1.

The best thing Rockstar has done in years. Was port rdr1 to PC and the new consoles. Not even remaster. Port. It’s the same 2011 graphics. (Not bad but really lack luster compared to rdr2)

I've never seen a grind so bad since... Actually rdo is the worst grind I've ever encountered

my friends and I played this game endlessly despite it being MILES wide but a inch deep. even when there was nothing to do its sandbox had so many tools to still make a good time. we all saw this outcome. it was obvious. however it still hurts because we KNOW that anybody with half a functioning braincell is capable of understanding what a cowboy game needs but rockstar not only ignored this but tried to pretend they didnt know what people wanted in an effort to kill the game themselves. the boys and I still yearn for more of this game but at this point we just cant pick it back up because we know all we will do is complain about its state and be upset about it.

Man heists woulda changed the game completely

The reason they don't seperate the griefers from the normal players is, unfortunately, obvious: The griefers only want to engage with the game to grief, so they buy microtransactions to get the stuff they use to grief. Rock Star probably made literal millions on Shark Cards used to buy Oppressors in the years before they nerfed them.

If they did something like PVE servers, all the people who want to play without being griefed would go to those and suddenly, the griefers have no reason to play (and no reason to spend money) because they don't get fun from competing on fair terms with people who enjoy it, they get fun from spending money to get all the OP shit they can and messing with the fun of people who want to enjoy the game on their own terms. They need these people in the same lobby because the PvE people are more profitable as fodder for grifters than as happy customers who are just enjoying the world and making money shooting deer.

What killed me about the clothing as well was there were MULTIPLE extra colorways of existing and Outlaw Pass items and they just never released them. Like some of the hats and pants in the pass with the Billy the Kid lookalike outfit had like 5 other color variants already made in the files and they just never put them in. Like they’re already made, you’re putting the game on life support and ending active development and you can’t patch in a few new shirts? It’s insane how they refused to do even the bare minimum to please the community and almost never communicated about anything.

rockstr gay the do all onlie is 3000 cheaper

I was really looking forward to RDO back in the day. When it launched I got online, found out that the smallest caliber rifle insta headshots anyone who was foolish enough to come close, got griefed to hell all day every day by randos and quickly lost interest. There is only so much "you see me, so I am dead" one can take.
So basically to me it was dead on arrival. I was not able to have any fun with it, even after they added the first (not really functional) forms of anti-grief, and never tried to get back into it.
It had so much potential, especially if you were sick of the clusterfuck that is GTAO.

Friends only session like gta 🤯

Yall been uploading the same "red dead online death" stuff for like 3 years now
