In the months ahead, Red Dead Online will continue to showcase the opportunities for players to chart their adventures across the game’s vast frontier, with special events featuring bonuses on Specialist Roles, fan-favorite Showdown Modes, and all manner of unique experiences added to the game since launch."


How to take a game around back and shoot it in the fucking head, while still trying to sound like...no honestly, it sounds just like what it is - a fucking epitaph.

Man Red Dead Online was so promising. I waited to play until the Bootlegger pack, so I got to do all the careers plus the Bootlegger stuff plus the online story. So good top to bottom but just didnt have any lasting power. Running wagons of shine with friends was so much fun. Hunting and loading up Scrimps Trading Company or whatever his name was was tons of fun with friends. had a solid couple weeks of playing with a 3-4 stack running missions and shine and stuff and making a gang and running bounties etc.


Then no reason to ever play again.

Yeah I just don’t get how they dropped the ball while the single player is 10/10.

You could make more money solo and you weren’t rewarded for learning and completing tasks quickly. That’s what killed it.

The only reason GTA stays alive is the little kids and random free $1,000,000. Horses and Cowboy Hats stopped being exciting to little kids in the 1960’s, unfortunately.

Recently got into this for the very first time going through the single-player. The world is fantastic, but it seems the little annoyances with it drag it way down for me. How easy it is to get a bounty on you, how easy it is to randomly die by a surprise cougar in the woods or a pack of bounty hunters. The auto-save confirmations popping up and ruining MAH IMMERZION!

I want to push through and just hang out in the world, but it's hard.

Just wait till you get to Saint Denis, the big city. That place is a death trap, because you can't help but accidently bump into people, which turns into an all out war like you committed the worst hate crime of all time by accidently stepping on someone's toe. They seriously needed an "apologize" button to de-escalate these minor offenses before they go nuclear.

This is right when I stopped playing. Maybe I'll start it up again. I really did want to at least finish the campaign, but I just kind of lost interest.

If it only gets worse then there's no way I'm going to be able to finish. :(

I played PC and had no issues with accidental crimes or anything like that.

One of the most immersive games I've played.

This is my biggest complaint and the reason why I stopped playing too. Is there a mod that prevents this or makes it happens less?

Unpopular opinion: This is a bad game with a great story, atmosphere, setting, and voice cast. The controls are really rough, first of all, and the balance is basically all over the place. The horse is borderline retarded and some of the missions are just plain flat luck. Plus that whole island sequence did not need to exist.

What saves it is the great story telling experience and voice acting. The epilogue in particular is amazing as a lead up to RDR1. For all the effort they spent on story and atmopshere, they could have tightened up the horse AI and the controls.

Controls are aids

I guess I'm in the minority but I never really had much of a problem with the controls. In the beginning I accidentally shot/punched a couple people I didn't mean to but after a while it became second nature.

The story and dialogue were good but it got a bit repetitive towards the end. There's a reason there's so many memes of Arthur and Dutch.

Hell of a fun game just to run around and not worry about the main story, though.
