I'm still baffled at how Rockstar made an Online game set in the old west and yet you still cannot rob banks or trains. That should've been there day one but instead all there is to do is grind to get lame businesses which you can then... grind for basically nothing other than clothing and guns.

I don't even know why they released new missions now after 3 years. And Halloween themed at that, during fucking summer. Who cared for Naturalist? Did anybody enjoy going around sedating sheep? Blood Money was set up as this exciting new strand of contracts but it was just... a waste of time that introduced yet another type of currency for no reason. Meanwhile people asked for heists and ranches from Day 1 and not only didn't get that, we didn't even get the end of the main fucking quest with the widow. It just stops. What a disgrace of a multiplayer mode.

>>714889597
reeeetard
when was the last time you played rdo? 2021?

>>714889497
By robbing banks i mean a GTA Online styled heist where you and teamates get to keep the money, not a lame telegram mission that probably pays you peanuts.

>>714889497
>pathetic capitaleshit
>they never actually added anything since then
Lmao

>>714889794
man I would kill a man for a comfy little horse ranch in RDO

>>714889794
>use the solo lobby mod for PC to avoid the chinkoids
>lets you wander around the world like the SP minus the actual fun stuff like poker because instances
You could've made a side mode that lets you run through the whole thing with some solo mute and you would still have a decent game on your hands. Waifufags and cowpokes ripping around the world as their OC would've been a lot better than what they actually did with.

>>714888709 (OP)
Boils down to they tried to make it even more of a money and time sink than GTAO with having a premium currency but they had to also make it farmable as well and the community overwhelmingly farmed or ignored gold instead of buying it.
R* figured out continued support was just a waste of resources so they essentially put it in maintenance mode to be maintained by like a basement full of jeets in india.

It really is disappointing since even with all the improvements they had done since the first rdr online it was still missing so much bullshit from the original that just made everything more fun.

Fully expect they'll do some kind of variation of premium currency again in the next gtao and likely make bank because the GTA has the whales that'll drop thousands for instant gratification that the rdr crowd lacked.

>>714888709 (OP)
I'm baffled people play GTAO, the loading times are STILL way too fucking long

>>714889794
From my understanding these new missions are pretty much 1 guys OC he made on the side while fucking around at work at rockstar.
>nothing new added to the game, all assets already in game
>1 guy did most of the heavy lifting
>just upload em to the game and get free positive press because "OMG ITS JUST LIKE UNDEAD NIGHTMARE 2"

>>714891998
on SSDs (PC and Consoles) the loading times aren't that bad.

>>714891998
For me it's a bit of sunk cost paired with the updates are usually at least worth looking at.
>played since ps3 at launch
>most the shit I want bought with glitched ps3 cash + heists and other shit over the years
>log in on new update, buy the newest building, do the missions, fuck off
occasionally get on, find some kiddies and proceed to kamazai em with planes

>>714888709 (OP)
You were meant to be able to do a ton of shit. Buy properties, run multiple operations, rob banks and trains, etc. etc. They just didn't do any of it because the Red Dead community is inherently different to the GTA one where they didn't spend money on shiny gold guns and gaudy outfits like Rockstar hoped. It's why the story mode is also abandoned.

>>714889794
>content being made post the naturalist content
>R* gives up and canned it all
>cant even be assed to even release the unreleased but finished clothing and weapons, horse masks, etc

I never even played this shit because GTAO left such a bad impression. RDR1 online was fun to fuck around in.

>>714892948
It was enjoyable but progress was slower, every update was tied to gold in someway which takes time to farm up.
Add in
>the horses just weren't as fun or anywhere near as expansive as the rdr1o horses were (no bulls, bison, donkeys, zebra donkey)
>map holds more players but it's also so large you'll never run into them
>no Mexico
>no fort
>nothing like cougar cabin or the hill bears spawned nonstop on
>all online missions amount to nothing, most dont even have a cutscene of any sort
>again map so large you dont encounter multiple posses fighting it out in Armadillo like rdr1

>>714892312
They aren't that good either

>>714893568
Glitching into Mexico was neat. It's a shame they patched out glitching into Guarma long before the game came out on PC.

>>714893568
I'm sure this isn't SUBVERSIVE enough but they really need to make a full on spaghetti western RDR3 where you're the new sheriff in town and you go higher and yon stopping the banditos, maybe the subversion would be idk, the people in the town you're supposedly protecting suck or even...... Cop bad..... But man I'd kill for just regular old cowboy western games

>>714888709 (OP)
The irony is that Take-Two wants people to buy horses/clothes/cars, not steal them. You can pretend to be a thief better in BOTW than GTAV

>>714895338
There's a bigger problem in that regular ass cowboy outfits are fine and cheap, and all the other shot is costume wear or faggot shit, no I don't want to spend 10 hours grinding out and Lincolns tophat, I'll stick to the standard cowboy hat thanks

>>714895512
sea of thieves is like this except the community does want to look like faggots instead of pirates

>>714895620
Rdr2 is about the same. In a game about cowboys you're the only cowboy and everyone else looks like fucking PT Barnham or one of his clowns

>>714895338
>1 area in the online that always has a spawned donkey in the game
>you can ride it all the way back to town
>no way to add it to a stable
>R* offered a maybe to one day making some donkeys offerable through gold
>almost 7 years later and still no donkey let alone the legendary zebra donkey

>>714895512
>>714895620
You mean you don't want to look like pic related? How come?

>>714889794
They’re basically keeping it in the same state GTAO was before adding in heists where everything was just set up to be small scale shit that was clearly created to get you enough money to fund the heists.

>>714896073
kek

>>714895512
Like 75% of my guys outfits amounted to what goes with the alligator cowboy hat with another 20% to what goes with bowler hats

>>714895512
This, there is no real reason to spend gold on anything on anything once you get the camp upgrades. Which is retarded since I can think of a bunch of shit gold could be spent on. Like making that Ned Kelly armor just something the player can wear, or machine gun wagons.

>>714896073
Every single tier 1 and tier 2 bounty hunter outfit and clothing just takes the cake.
I mean the other professions outfits all do in some way or another but you can still get some nice individual clothing pieces out of them, like the moonshiners outfits all had fantastic vests

>>714888709 (OP)
The game actually is really good, but the grind is a bit annoying, and more importantly, hackers are ruining it on PC but Rockstar doesn't do anything
It's hard to enjoy a game when you can be teleported at any moments or attacked by a giant fat man or even killed during a cutscene by a clone of your character

>>714896448
The outlaw passes and halloween/christmas passes were fun little gold sinks, it's sad just how hard they dropped em.
Halloween passes especially

>>714888709 (OP)
1. Robbing banks and trains wasn't something they did back in the west
2. Rockstar has no experience doing that kind of gameplay

>>714896672
You should have been there for rdr1 when the ps3 got hacked. Shit was half comedy gold mine, half a cup of RAGE.

>>714888709 (OP)
>late 1890s
>the old west
it's the gilded age south if anything. i blame that nigger western which was obviously an inspiration for this stupid setting.

>>714896871
at least RDR1 was pretty much a sandbox online, sure you had levels and a few missions but it was mostly fucking around, so I accept better hacks here as long it's goofy as shit
That's not the case of RDO

>>714896839
Some form of heists they were kinda laying the groundwork for but outside of Blackwater and Saint Denis really the main options would have been heists on private mansions, gangs etc.

>>714893568
>every update was tied to gold in someway which takes time to farm up
Don't forget that they nerfed dailes too which hindered progress even more, they also nerfed the collectors shit too because people were making too much money kek.

Nowadays you can infinitely collect a treasure chest by running around in a circle and make hundreds if not thousands of gold that way.

>>714897256
they nerfed the collector role because a cheat map exists online

>>714896972
Main couple I remember
>guy who had a speed hack who was outrunning peoples horses and shooting people with a shotgun
>last seen with 3 full posses chasing him through Mexico
>guy who had a hacked shotgun that shot exploding dynamite rounds who was held up in the top of the bar of armadillo proclaiming he was the king of the mountain
>that 1 asshole under the map with a sniper rifle headshoting everyone on the map
>man sounded like John Ligizimo from the Pest
>guy hacked in a unicorn from undead nightmare and was flying through the sky on unicorn back, lassoing people and carrying them away
>whole posse who were using mexican lady npcs as mounts

>>714897732
I wonder why they didn't had the online back when they re-released that game

>>714896972
>I accept better hacks here as long it's goofy as shit
The best we get is people spawning everyone to the same spot on the map and spawning ten bears.

does RDO actually have some content worth playing if I'm not going to grind shit

>>714898159
Not really. You have to be in the cowboy roleplay mindset to get long term enjoyment out of it. Story mode is fun co-op missions, telegrams are like radiant sidequests with cooldowns (for some fucking reason), and then the random encounters are just kind of whatever. You really do have to grind to get anything of note.

>>714891419
>use the solo lobby mod for PC to avoid the chinkoids
You mean you can't just play on an invite-only lobby and farm businesses like you can with GTAO?
>>714893568
>making a stand with other players in the fort against endless waves of Mexican soldiers
>holding out in the cabin in the snowy area while instakill cougars literally don't stop spawning
>the random "gang hideouts" that would spawn in the world
It was fun, and I even enjoyed the basic level progression to unlock things like character skins. The most fun I had in RDO was just by lassoing other randoms, on the other hand.

>>714898452
Can you play the missions alone?

Is it me or it's really hard to have a good looking character in this game?

>>714898537
you get matched with randoms for the story missions, but you can play the roles alone

>>714898537
Story mode can't be done solo, the Moonshiner story can be though. Telegrams are generally solo though some will put you in lobbies with randoms. Radiant missions are also started solo but can include other players like they can fuck with you or join in.

>>714898609
the lighting in the character creator is fucked
