Red Dead Online - New Update arrives September 10th

I traded it for store credit and I'm a pro member, so I got like $10 more than what you would usually get
I bought 2 $20 gift cards for Steam

Do i have to pay the chinkshills if ive never played anything online on console before?

too little too late
this update should've been out months ago. i don't care enough to go back to it and i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this way

fuck no

People forget it took GTA online about 2 years to find its footing with heists. That's why I'm giving this a 2 year timeframe to be fleshed out.

Bounty hunting actually sounds really cool. Hunting wagons are going to completely change things. It sounds like they've actually been listening to player feedback, feels good man.

>online gets all the cool clothes like pochos and single player gets tuberculosis
fuck

Guess I'll just stop expecting single player DLC from modern Rockstr.

>they've actually been listening to player feedback
We would have got some single player dlc announcement if that were true

>implying your oc won't die at the end of the story and you have to make another character

More people than will ever play a Nintendo game that's for sure kek

>and single player gets tuberculosis

Kek'd
Yeah I agree man but they know we're just not getting it. Online's too profitable for them to think about doing single-player DLC, that's why the GTA V DLC was cancelled.

They're probably too busy working on GTA 6 or Bully 2 or whatever their next game is going to be

Did they ever get around to nerfing that dumb insta lock-on/headshot bullshit?

Wtf are you talking about

Auto aim? You can use perks to survive headshots lol or just go defensive nigga literally walk away how is griefing real?

>dog companion
>lantern attached to horse
>MORE OUTFITS STORAGE
>hunting wagons to carry large amount of pelts and carcasses
>change of controlls and aim system

They definitely listened to the feedbacks, I just wished they deleted those skill Cards instead of adding more, those things are fucking cancer

Literally noone.

That looks fucking cool, Let me use it in single player or fuck off, Rockstar.

I mean how literally every fight is a case of "whoever auto aims and moves their crosshair up a tiny bit first wins".

How grindy is Read Dead Online? I've never even touched the online mode.

Finished the singleplayer, working on getting 100% because autism.
So how does the RDO compare to GTA:O in terms of bs?

Attached: 693371762_preview_YhT90jw.jpg (472x472, 69K)

New images of this game and screencaps still look better than new games that just came out or are still coming out

Yeah okay whatever, where's the fucking PC release date?

Finished the game when it released, but never played the online because to be honest, after GTAO I din't want to play another farming simulator with humongous loading times; but the trader and collector jobs sound like a good timewaste. So my questions are, how gindy the online is? How are the loading times? Is it a good time to start playing now and be alow level scrub almost a year after release?

*yawn*

Same, they make fights too easy and they're not really balanced.
lmao you're supposed to use perks to survive headshots, you can dive to break your opponent's auto aim, use perks to disable your opponent's auto aim. tons of choices man.

Is it on PC yet?

Loading times are decent but there's lots of disconnects. It's pretty grindy too to be honest. If you do all your story missions you'll have enough money to buy some decent guns and the essentials.

Ps4 or Xbox? I can help you get started

I would imagine you're seeing the PC version. Or the PS5/Scarlet version.

Didn't like RDO thought it was disappointing but there is Literally a perk that disables auto aim for you and prevents others from locking into you my man.

Hope you like grinding for literal cans of beans. It's a fucking chore, I dont know how people can enjoy it.

>online
WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP PUSHING ONLINE SHIT? GIVE ME SINGLEPLAYER CONTENT DAMIT I DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH AUTISTIC SPERGS

I make like $200 an hour or more I swear people just don't want to grind for shit and want everything handed to them.

Go hunting, do pvp modes and win. I made 50 bucks in a single showdown.
Because it's too profitable. Single-player DLC's aren't happening.
If you actually played the game you'd have more than enough lol. Literally all you need to do is your GTA challenge and login for dailies, you'll have enough cause one of them's free for PS4 players.

I'm only curious about the changes to the controls to make them more "responsive"
If they're substantial I'll feel pissed since I bet they don't apply to single-player

If you think you're arguing with a fanboy, simply resort to this checklist, call him a fanboy, then ignore him. Watch him cower and recoil as he's been found out.

there's a man going around, taking names...

>being this obsessed with a multi billion dollar cooperation that's never going away unless the economy crashes

why?

>lel just do dailies!
Oh boy shitty MMO features in my $60 game how great!

This is why RDO is dead a fuck.

Two fanboys, two checks! See

This but unironically.

i hope you dont have to wear those goofy outfits when youre out doing your shit

online is pretty grief inducing due to rockstar attempting to make pussy's strong by giving them over powered methods...only it backfired and good players just shit all over bad players

It still has an active community, and if it does die it's because of ignorant dickheads like you who can't take 10 minutes out of their day to do something piss easy.
R*'s outfits are always pretty shit, you have to go into the tailor and pick out your own clothes if you want something decent.

I have 282 gold and 3700 cash saved up because there's fuck all to spend game currency on.

Why do you keep up with their fandom? Explain. Don't even attempt to tell me that there anywhere near annoying because there's only an occasional Red Dead Redemption thread every now and then. As we as a Grand theft Auto thread. Nowhere near as over bearing or annoying as constant smash threads or FE threads.

it doesn't matter lol he's just shitposting.

>R*'s outfits are always pretty shit, you have to go into the tailor and pick out your own clothes if you want something decent.
thats what im saying, im hoping i can wear my own shit instead of designated role outfits

>The no aim perk where players kamikaze charge.
Annoying af.

rent free

They should just remove the deadeye cards

user, Rockstar will still be making console and PC games when Nintendo is only making Google play or Apple store games lol

Lmao I get you now. I don't think they''ll force us to wear those fruity outfits. They're just previewing some of the new clothes that are going to be added to the game.

>STILL NO SINGLE PLAYER DLC
Halloween is next month, I better get something undead nightmare related.

>people complain about le gold bars and money being too hard to get
>Literally have nothing to get with gold or cash anymore outside of food, ammo and weapons skins because you can make shitloads of it if you just play the game smartly.

Hunt game while in freeroam missions (try and run the clock down as much as possible so that you have more game to hand in and a larger payout for the mission), do the easy daily challenges for gold and get the special Lures for fishing as soon as possible.

Also loot bodies when finding random events in the open world since I've found plenty of maps on bodies for treasure that way

That's a check! 3 fanboys down!
See

All but the actual deadeye aim like in the story mode. That's all I use.

You don't even play lol
nobody got time for that. it cuts into their masturbation schedule

yea but the only thing worse than being obsessed or shitposting over a multi billion dollar corporation is shilling for a multi billion dollar corporation.

It’s dead bud

I just started playing this game and it's a pretty good time.

But who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have the game unequip all your long arms whenever you mount your horse? It's easily the most frustrating aspect of the game. There have been multiple times I quickly dismounted to hunt an animal I spotted, spend a few minutes tracking it and getting ready to kill it, and then realize I left my fuckin rifle back on the horse.

I don't even mind that you don't get to carry every single weapon you own with you, swapping out like that at the horse would have been fine. But the game seems to just love leaving you rifle-less. Like after the drinking mission, you wake up in the middle of nowhere, your horse is too far away to call, and you only got your pistol.

It's frustrating, and I'm surprised there wasn't more uproar about it. If they at least added the option to favorite gear, I'd be so much happier with the game.

The fanboy played his best card here! It's getting heated. See

rockstar doesnt really care about RDO. It feels like a beta test for the next gta. Why is the poker so bad? Why are there no properties to buy? Why is there nothing to do in freeroam? It just feels so fucking empty

semi auto shotty in free aim is pretty easy to get good at also double barrel shotty with pib works against the shitty slippery players.

whats lame is beaners, gooks, and fat fucks that don't play objective in hostile territory...instead they just spawn camp with the bow since it's a one shot. rock star is giving these cunts even more power by taking out explosive rounds in those modes...so they can spawn camp even more freely lol.

basically when it comes to rockstar's online games....you have to go into it with the mindset you're going to be participating in a lowlife carny's take on a video game. or a liberal douche bags take on a video game. participation trophy type shit (everyone gets a trophy/everyone gets auto aim)......ultimately its weak ass shit for pussies etc etc..but it's at your disposal as well. but it makes the game boring if all you want to do is shoot it out with other players.

i hope so

i would like some weathered looking bandolirs to equip...i dont like all the fancy zorro looking shit in the game.

No it's not "Bud" lmfao
Because it's the only thing on that list that's legit. People complain they don't have enough money to buy things but don't want to earn them, so what are they going to do?
GTA was pretty bare when it started, it took a good couple years to get going. Online was rushed out as fast as possible so there'd be a playable version but they're still adding content.
I want to look like an actual cowboy not a pimp lmao it's ridiculous. Im pretty sure bandoliers are coming tho I just want that eyepatch when I go bounty hunting.

Yall can literally make money for killing players now

Meh, took them too long, i'll be busy playing gears.

Yeah. It is. “Bud”
>lmfao
That’s when you know you’re getting mad, the passive aggressive comments start to slip. Enjoy your dead game

This year, or at the latest february of next.

You hit the nail right on the head. NRS did the same thing with MK with the Towers of Time. There's was too much backlash so they had to change it. It's still an annoying grind, but not that much. Just enough to entice players to use time crystals from time to time. That's why the Krypt is random.
Remember when the mauser was 1000 dollars in the online mode? Rockstar is merely testing the waters to see how far they can get away with microtransactions. That way when people complain, they can slightly adjust the price and claim they're listening to their fans. In reality they're a bunch corporate snakes with paid shills everywhere, even these threads.

I find the word buddy offensive. You're not my buddy, guy.

You aren't my guy, friend

>I want to look like an actual cowboy not a pimp
seriously, gay ass looking cowboys, with all these diva looking clothing options. i hope they bring the brown vest from SP into online, as well as those dark brown half chaps.

also some weathered pearl handle grips for my pistols and revolvers, so my heaters dont look like toy guns etc etc

The competitive shooting modes in showdown is boring and nobody plays it unless it's a daily challenge. The new update is mostly open world against NPC's.

To be perfectly honest its probably a business decision as retaining "player engangement" rates seems to be the biggest buzz strategy these days, its no longer about "release good shit that the players want, they buy it, we make money" but more "keep the highest amount of players playing and buying micro transactions for the longest possible time" and drip feeding content over a longer timeframe means people wont stop playing the game in anticipation of the next update- evident by the fact theyre making these new jobs cost 15 gold bars to unlock and the Twitch Prime features

If they just dropped everything at launch they probably figured out they wouldnt earn as much as what theyre currently doing.

showdown large is where all the better players play

Does it matter what showdown type it is for challenges?

for dailies? i dont think so...i think there's only 2 showdown modes, maybe 3? but no it shouldn't matter.

>get 3 kill with your bow in showdowns
I think it only counts in regular.

Best mode is the one that gives you a standard equipment and you get more points depending on what weapon you use

i've actually gotten that one in large showdowns. the bow is a one shot kill on certain maps, not all of them though. so be careful when choosing to equip the bow.

>join RDO for the first time
>wander into town eager to learn how this all works
>repeatedly killed by same group of three people for about 20 minutes
>just quit the game and don't bother

The heists were supposed to be there from day one you fucking moron.

not anymore, everyone saves their 2+ tonics for that mode. those horse cum tonics let players eat double barrel shotgun rounds like cumshots. you can see them first, shoot first with both shotgun shells and you will do NO damage against tonic users. this works with basic health tonics as well, only they don't last as long.

tonics don't block head shots though, so the cattlemans and carbine can irritate the shit out of those players. you may not win in the long run, but you can make those players waste tonics by knocking them out with headshots. just try to keep distance between you and them.

The more I read about the online the more I hate it.How does anyone put up with this shit?

I usually end up being the one with less kills/more points ratio, and between the first 3 places most of the times.
I try to use the Carcano and the tomahawk as much as I can.
The Carcano because those fuckers always have the double barrel out and never expect someone shooting them from far away; while with the tomahawk I try to lure them into shooting with both barrels while there's something in the middle of the way (the trigger button is very sensitive with that weapon), then they're fucked when they have to reload

Did you ever play DayZ back in the day? It was one of those games that you walk for hours and barely make it. But once in a while have a really good experience, like the satisfaction of hitting the lottery in terms of loot and fun. RDO is the same,. 80% of the time it's just dealing with other players and getting griefed. But once in a while you experience or witness great shit. It's not the destination user, it's the journey.

Attached: 1567482746821.jpg (595x842, 99K)

I'd play this trash if PvE lobbies were a thing.

because online is dumb but it's simple as fuck. it's weird. its one of those few games where you can get your PVP fix and just go through the motions as the game does everything for you. its obnoxiously irritating, but at the same time its really easy. its a carnival game. all the fuckery is there, but it's easy.

i'll tell you this though...it makes you appreciate shit like Call of Duty and any other well made PvP focused games, for real. there's no shitty controls in mos populart PVP focused games, most popular PVP games are free aim, getting good in those games feels rewarding since you're mostly in control and don't get auto aimed from behind etc etc. you don't lose in cunty fashion in most popular PVP games etc etc

Adjust your camera and aim locking. I've changed mine to all wide and max sensitively and dome fuckers left n right. I use dot crosshair too, not the circle+dot. Helps with precision. Tinker around and find what's best for you. Also, you should crouch and sneak around without running, hides your blip on the radar. After about a day or two of getting used too, you'll notice a HUGE benefit to your aiming.

as shitty as online is, it makes you realize how awesome a good late 1800/early 1900 western game would be. a game with the same head shot meta but with free aim. along with single shot weapons of the time period etc etc. i wish there was a GOOD dev out there that would take note and crush Shitstar in this genre.

>Did you ever play DayZ back in the day?

Did you? Because I remember spending weeks finding tents and car parts for cars I couldn't find and when I finally did have those things the thrill of having them ripped away from me after putting in so much time and effort on my part kept me playing.

In RDO I want for nothing, and neither do any of the people I encounter, so we just shoot one another until our queues pop or ride around shooting other people together until a queue pops, in which case I never see this person again.

I understand the mentality and logic behind your post, but I feel like what you're describing is something that really only happens when you've got a group of good ol' guys around playing together, which I don't see a lot of in RDO either.

Attached: EDkt-JSXUAEO5rR.jpg (1200x2303, 493K)

Yes I did play DayZ. As a mod on arma 2 and I have standalone. I've spent weeks doing the same thing. Until one time, me and my buddy found a shack with vehicles that housed THOUSANDS of items. In the middle of no where. We hustled for 5 hours transporting everything to our own spot, literally around the same area. That one moment of hitting the lottery made up for hundreds of hours spent getting nothing. That feeling or rush of excitement and reward after weeks of suffering made the journey so worth it. It took us 4 months of complete fuckery and shenanigans to use all of our resources. And the thrill of others wanting their stuff back. That feeling and experience itself is how I feel about RDO albit not in the same level of reward. But a reward, , I felt was worth the time I put into it. Not in a group? Almost every thing I've done in dayz or rdo (in this context) was either solo or with one other person. And as far as I'm concerned, as long as you have a mic and arnt 12 years old. You can makes friends easy, along with the menu option of "Posse up". It's subjective sure. But doesn't change the fact that the experience and journey you want, is only confined in your ability to look for it.

Because there's not an alternative. I played a bunch of GTAO because I've always wanted a good crime-centered multiplayer game, and it was the closest I could get. Before that I played APB, and now RDO sort of scratches that same itch (and without flying rocket motorcycles). Sure there's still more bullshit to tolerate, but the fleeting moments of enjoyment I get out of it are something I can't get from anything else.

Shit gets boring in less than an hour

I play single player when i need to relax.
Beaten it twice so far.

>who can't take 10 minutes out of their day to do something piss easy.
If the game isn't fun to play then all I'm doing is virtual chores. Why the fuck would I want to do that? So I can get some virtual pixels to dick wave with all the other assholes trying to do the exact same thing? Fuck that shit. Designed specifically for people with small brains and big egos, and deep wallets.

Those control improvements better come to singleplayer or there is going to be a riot

No, buying gold bars / grinding businesses like in GTAO should be enough for you.

currently no

This, it sucks enough they're not adding the guns into singleplayer, the least they can do is fix the dogshit controls across both modes. The very absolute least.

GTA V should have hinted at what post game content you would get

Sounds like you can't free aim and just shit your pants without a lock. If you were a good player, you would know how to deal with people that use it and how to abuse it yourself.

Nevermind I'm retarded that's what you were saying, I read good players shitting over bad players backwards

Yee fucking haw. I can't wait for this to be out on PC will all these improvements. Hopefully it's crossplay too.

Same, I also use PiB. None of the others are interesting or make for more enjoyable gameplay at all.

it might be with this update, we'll see

its just relaxing for me to go off and fuck around all night.
im going to be a trader

its all fine. i have no lag issues and i use my mobile hotspot on my phone to log in.
game looks just a beautiful as sp.
i tend to just eff off and spend my days exploring and picking herbs and hunting so Trader looks just my style.

theres griefers but its basically next to impossible to let them ruin your game by going defensive and if they kill you randomly you can press charges and theyll eventually be getting raped by npc bounty hunters non stop.

id say give it a shot

>adds the ability to redesign your character without losing all your items

about time. that or a second character slot seems obvious.

i literally just deleted my girl to try as a guy but ended up remaking her.

It's very much possible to ruin peoples' days. I regularly fuck with random people because it's hilarious, especially fist fights or trampling people with my horse.
I never have to deal with NPC bounty hunters because I don't let my bounty build up very much. I slam dunk on defensive players and often provoke them so they're the ones facing charges. They'll almost always have worse aim since they're using it in the first place. It's a pretty useless feature, kind of just a white flag right now. I don't know if the further reduced damage will fix it, they should honestly just do a full on passive mode. Parley is already a thing and how a lot of my griefing ends anyways.

Not as many as play WoW Classic lol

Its just really fucking boring to be honest

You grind to make money for...

Clothes? And thats it.

>Yep, I'm thinking Rockstar is back
No, unless they add the dlc guns and clothing into the single-player. But they're too lazy and greedy to do that.

I have no fucking idea why the new guns aren't in sp. Just makes no sense at all, I don't see why it's so difficult for them to do.

In RDR2 every action feels slow. It's ok in single player mode but it's feels fucking awful in mp cause it requires a lot of grind.

it just gets boring really fast, even playing the story missions you'll notice it's the same tired formula.
watch cutscene
follow npc or go to x spot
do objective
plan goes wrong
kill people
get y item or follow npc
return
cutscene
sometimes you'll get a set piece like a train shootout but that's the only highlight of those missions.
the more budgety missions highlights the endless survival gathering and barebone fetch quests.
controls don't help either, like smashing A or X like 200 times every time you want to go anywhere, the annoying weapon change, having to keep those meters up, just tons of pointless micromanaging busy work to do anything all for the sake of immersion, that drags the pace in mp through the mud. picking up a flower by just doing a hand gesture will do, instead of the same beautifully animated flower peeling animations 200 times, or incredible animal skinning animations for the 500th time when you just want for the screen to go black, and come back with the skin in your characters hands or shoulder...or when picking up something or looting 10 bodies body, just give me a hand grabbing gesture in the air and I'm good, imo, they should at least give peopel an option to turn the realistic long animations off for those that don't care for that in mp, but others that do can still keep it on.
idk maybe this update will fix that stuff, but I'm not holding my breath, i doubt it will fix the mind numbing core gameplay loop.
