Rockstar screws Red Dead Online players over again!

#1

So, both GTA online and Red Dead Online are getting updates next month. Big updates. Well that’s only true for one of those games. So let’s take a look at what both games are going to be getting.

Let’s start with GTA Online. It will be getting a new heist, new weapons, new vehicles, a submarine base, a map expansion and more. So that’s a pretty big update with a ton of interesting content.

Now let’s take a look at Red Dead Online’s “massive” update we’ve all been waiting for. After the disappointment that the naturalist update was this next one is bound to be better right? Well, no. So what is Red Dead Online getting in it’s update we’ve waited so long for. Well we are getting 10 extra ranks on the bounty hunter role, a few more drip fed legendary bounties and a 100 tier outlaw pass and that’s it. Yeah, I think rockstar might need to relearn the words massive and huge.

This year has been nothing but awful for red dead online. Only 2 updates, one medium sized the other smaller than the CEO of Rockstar’s dick. With most of the content being recycled, unimaginative and crappy cosmetics. Is there only five people working on the game or something? They’ve had almost an entire year and these two shitty updates is the best they can pull out their ass? Just cancel support for the game at this point at least it will be more bearable putting the dog down instead of letting it whimper on in agony.

They’re making even Predator hunting grounds look like a masterpiece compared to the broken shit fest that is RDO. And that game has been out for 2 years…

All the gta shit is just going to be a farm fest.
I highly doubt the new heist will pay a reasonable amount.
All the heist take at least 2 hours to set up for waaaay too small a return.

I love the casino heist but good lord does it take way too long to set it up, to get I think 800k max take per player?

Like honestly you have to do it if you dont want to get pocket change for your take.

With how much everything cost and the amount of time set ups take you should honestly get like 5mil minimum per player, and there should be a really good heist that would pay at least 25 mil per player.

That would actually feel rewarding.
Because of the shitty pay, it makes every job feel small time.

So I dont get why you’re bitching trying to compare the two.
Even if red dead got a bigger update or whatever it would just be a fucking mind mind numbing farm fest.

Also it’s still not as bad as this game.

The grind in GTA online is a different topic entirely. My point is that they’re too busy milking the shit out of GTA online to even bother giving red dead online a reasonable update. Honestly earning gold and money in red dead online is not even hard. And definitely nowhere near as much of a grind fest as GTA online.

I’m complaining because they don’t even want to put any effort into the game. It could be good game if they even bothered with it but they’re not. So for 2 years we’ve been left with a bare bones game with nothing to do except boring missions and collecting. Meanwhile their other game is getting tons of huge content. It might be grindy content but at least it’s content and gives people something to do. Something red dead online lacks. These last 2 updates have just been a slap in the face for the people that stuck with the game. It has so much potential for fun activities like train heists, gold mining but they’re not tapping into that potential.

In short what I’m trying to say is, RDO has the potential to be a great game. It’s not as grindy as GTAO and for the most part it’s fair. And there’s a lot of content that could be added. But rockstar is half assing it and recycling content and not adding anything worthwhile for 2 years.

Lack of content is why I still haven’t picked it up.
I agree with you about potential, it has a ridiculous amount of it untapped. You should be able to buy property farms, bars, whole towns… whole trains if you grind hard enough.
Unlock, buy or recruit NPC’s. Set your crew up with a mix of players and bots. Become rail barons or a proto-mob bosses.

Ya, I agree with you, but red dead idk.
What can you even really do in an online setting based off that era?

My point was simply even if they added anything it would just be farming.
Cause devs especially rockstar, only tries to simulate content with farming.
Like destiny.
Like warframe.

I wish people would stop being happy and satisfied with farming and demand actual content.

The state of gaming is shittu now a days.
On a positive note.

All they need is shaders and boom, all the content you need! XD

Gta online was fun as hell when it first came out.
It’s still pretty fun. If you arent farming.

#12

Eh.

To me it’s second rate

I only ever played it cuz my friends liked it

#13

Rdr doesnt sell shark cards and flying bikes so its forced to suffer, although gta was just skeleton town pvp for like 2 yrs.

Tbh I feel like rdr pushes ps4 to its absolute limit & im not sure how much it can get for this gen anyways.
And most of the RDR team moved to work on the next GTA, which is supposed to be slower paced.

WOO XP TREADMILL DOPAMINE YEAH!
But really the autolock pvp is so bad for both these games im not sure what the appeal would be aside from grinding.

GTA was fun in its early phases when you had to get creative with sticky bombs to steal from armored cars. Classic heist movie stuff before it went full sci-fi miliary simulator & everyone got lock on missiles and just padded their KDA. Hot take but I hate all the instanced pve content and cutscene shit. Whats the point of an open world if you’re doing missions?

Anyway, If RDR removed the autolock chases could actually be fun instead of snapping to someones body and double tapping them across the distance of the minimap. Id love to actually make use of melee on horseback & running people off roads, too bad no one actually has to aim. The super accurate gunplay in rockstar games are their downfall tbh. Devs act like it would be no fun if its hard to hit speeding mobile objects ever :|

I guess?
I Dont mind a few of the cutscene but I kinda get what you mean.

As far as what the appeal would be, if it wasn’t all farming, for gta I’m not sure.
However in warframe and destiny there could be ACTUAL STORY AND SHIT TO DO and test yourself that wasnt all cheap ass gimmicks.

Early gta was great and fun as hell.
Online I mean.

It’s alright at least they’re adding roles that let us shoot animals 20 times and stick needles up their asses because that’s what we’ve all wanted 😂

But yeah it’s such a bare bones, broken game even 2 years after its launch. So many people have requested those ideas time and time again but then they give us the naturalist role lol.

That better be the case. Though I for one would prefer a sequel to Bully.
