Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I think people are misremembering what GTA Onlinr had at the start. We had a handful of cars we could buy. The vanilla weapons. Like 8 different apartments where the only difference was meaningless decorating and garage size. And after you progressed far enough to do the Titan mission you practically had done it all and were doing the same missions over and over. It didn't have heists or CEO missions or drugs or any of the stuff we are used to now.



It had a better economy due to the prices not yet being as inflated, but other than that anyone thinking it was so much more full of content than this is simply misremembering the beginnings.



That said, I do expect changes once this leaves Beta. I know Rockstar mentioned wiping everything before because they didn't want everyone getting a lot of stuff in the beta. That might be a reason the prices are so insane, too.

Yea I agree with canes, much easier for them to start prices high and decrease them rather than to start low and increase. There would be too much of an uproar. I expect much more content as well.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Finished the game the other night. What an amazing ride!! This surpassed the first one for me. I'll check in on the online down the road when things stabilize a bit. Now onto AC: Odyssey.

Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm just not sure what people expect from a beta version. Of course it's not going to have everything the final version will. If it did, it wouldn't be called beta.

It's like complaining that a Madden beta only has H2H and a season mode or something.

Honestly I think the only reason they called this a beta was to roll it out to small groups at a time so it wasnt disaster like gta v online launch.

This is probably what we have for content for a bit. Obviously they will add more but that was always going to be the plan regardless of whether or not they launched this in a beta state. Kind of like how gta was.

I do feel there was more to gta at initial launch though. At least some of the missions were worth running multiple times. These ones are not even worth running again. It’s smart of them to call it a beta for sure though because it gives them an excuse for the lack of content.

I mean going but what you’re saying in this post essentially every online rpg type game launches in beta. All of them add content over time.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Played online for 6 hours straight. Passive mode is needed ASAP. Full of idiots killing everything that moves. Full of people doing drive by lasso on people to drag them to their death. Or they will lasso you, hogtie you and put you on the train tracks. Saw a lot of people doing that. Things are insanely expensive. Also don't like how you to have to be a high rank just to buy a fishing pole and bow & arrow. That is just stupid.

After 6 hours I made like $500 or $600. But being majority of things require you be an insane rank in order to buy it, spent half my money on food for my horse. Far myself, bought me some food too, but primarily I get my food from hunting deer, rabbit, turkeys.

Beta crashed on me 5 times. Don't like how you are FORCED to do missions with others. At least the main story beta missions. Haven't tried doing the side missions yet because people literally were camped at those areas looking to ambush other players. Also didn't like that if others in your group die but you survive, mission failed. Like what ???

Oh yeah I had to mute EVERYTHING. I was hearing so many people talking that just so happen to be n the general area but I couldn't see them. Man people got some ultra potty mouths. Like every other word.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Sounds like the single player component is the only component in the game I'll acknowledge.

This game is every confirmation I need to not renew Plus or pay for online ever again.

lol, this place is getting to be ridiculous. It's a video game BETA! You're seriously never going to play it (or other games) online when you didn't even play the beta for yourself? You're just making that decision based on what others are crying about?

I hope you don't make those same choices in other aspects of life. Imagine swearing off relationships for good because you heard someone got dumped. Or food because someone told you their Uncle knew someone who's 3rd cousin had food poisoning.

Be thankful that we're getting this opportunity to test this out as opposed to them just rolling out the official online portion and us dealing with all these problems. It definitely has its issues and bugs but I am enjoying parts of it already and look forward to the improvements.

Let's all take a deep breath and remember this is the beta, if you don't like what's happening with it let R* know, and hope they listen. Whining in here isn't going to do a damn thing.

I know for a fact I won't be playing online, and it has nothing to do with the beta.

What's ridiculous is jumping down somebody's throat for expressing an opinion they have, no matter how they reached that conclusion.

Take a deep breath man. It's okay if others don't love this game as much as you do.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

It might be a beta, but this is Rockstar, not like it's some small company trying online components for the first time. They've done GTAO for 5 years now, RDR1 online, GTAIV online...sorry but they don't get the benefit of the doubt for how poor RDRO is, even if it is a beta.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Played Online for a bit last night. It was fun, needs some work. Random spawn killing got old but I definitely look forward to diving in with some friends. Plenty if fun and adventures to be had.

R* was smart giving it the Beta tag - and for all intents and purposes, it is. We're testing things out right now. And if/when stuff doesn't work, the obligatory "well, it is only Beta ATM" is the easy retort.

I fully expect changes to be made, especially considering the amount and fervor of complaints. R* certainly isn't going to give up on a (another) potential cash-cow and leave people pissed off. Which SHOULD make a more enjoyable online experience, which I'm always in favor of.

I mean, it could be as simple as they went with what they thought was the best approach. Doesn't mean they'll be unwilling to change.

More likely I believe they released it in it's current state with every intent to add and change.

You're right, this isn't R* first rodeo. I'm sure every single action is a calculated one. This is not me giving them blind faith, but at the very least, IMO, they've earned some time to make things better.

Sorry, he made a post about something and I responded. If you're not going to play it...ok...don't...but why come in here just to say that much? I was simply pointing out the flawed reasoning behind not playing it. I don't care if people don't like the game even in the beta stage, but give reasons and LET R* KNOW. Only posting it in here is pointless unless you just don't want them to at least consider your issues with the game to potentially correct it.

I'm sure it will get better. R* are getting loads of feedback, we'll just have to see what changes are made.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm sharing RD2 with a friend, we just started online and he was able to get the Free Horse but I couldn't. I was able to get the free Horse and guns for Story mode but seems like I can't for Online?
