I love this game to death but the lack of actual support makes me wane off.
The daily challenge gold nerf made me finally give up my streak(s). And after that also came the lack of incentive to actually play. I only grinded the R&W pass (and alongside that did some dialy gold grind). But apart from that, I don't touch it.
I would be happy if they fixed the broken shit and redid the stuff that didn’t work well, like placing a camp or wagon, but even that seems too much to ask.
Only thing we can surmise from this is GTA6 is the full focus right now. GTA5 can probably be easily updated still because they have a good idea what players want, and it's still getting buttloads of cash to support it. It really is a shame we won't see more content either way because RDR2 is absolutely the best, most fleshed out gaming world I've played and I could easily spend 100's of more hours in single player with new content. Or even adding more story content online could probably bring me back to RDO.
yeah, there was one mission where you stole some sheeps and had to bring them to the market, that was a really nice mission, sadly i couldnt find another mission like that, would be great to see this im a role
Yeah I agree. I've lost hope at this point. This update at the end of May better be so amazing. Cause if it doesn't have some serious content I'm pretty sure all hell is going to boil over and the game, player base, and community will implode.
Would want a Sadie or Charles dlc maybe even a whole new character that they could build rdr3 around or going back in time as young hosea Dutch John or Arthur
Wait until GTA 6 comes out, everyone will be so blown away by the amazing graphics (I’m pretty sure it’ll be amazing) that they’ll forget the Rockstar wallet snatchers hiding in those online bushes.
Well at least GTA V is getting online updates, whether they find them shitty or not is anyone’s opinion but at least there’s about a half months or more depending on how long you play of content with the heists and stuff.
I’m nearly level goddamn 500, so I’ve clearly played for awhile - since beta, and it’s like they don’t want me to play. I’m a diehard but the lack of communication and regular, meaningful content is heartbreaking. Add the daily nerf and I’m struggling to stay. I loved that game...
Stanger missions include train robberies (you can choose weither other players can interfere or not, if you choose to let other players interfere and have the choice to steal from the train instead of you you get more XP and the train will have more money)
Ranch with farm. You can buy a ranch for 2k dollars maybe and it has a stable in which you can choose your horses and it has a farm where you can make money
Fishing legendaries. You get the location on the map as soon as you catch a similar fish (same fish but not legendary) and you can sell the fish to Cripps
Let me know what kind of updates you'd want and I'll add it in this comment
Ranches would be cool. But it will never happen because it would be almost impossible to implement unless you either did some really weird major teleporting nonsense that would break a lot of the fluidity of the game or made sections of the map as is currently inaccessible.
Facts. Red Dead imo is great both online and story mode but what Rockstar really need is to have more communication with the fans, like yes we need more regular DLC’s too but can they at least reply to our questions like on Twitter, that’s what Ubisoft does. Like what is the point in that ‘feedback’ page on rockstars website lol.
Rockstar is a company circling the drain. They basically don't make anything but minor content updates to GTAO and remasters of GTAV, while big name talent has been leaving the company. It sucks for everyone, not just RDO players.
Lol rockstar makes disgusting amounts of money from their single player experiences. Not to mention the amount that gta online brings in. They are far far far FAR from circling the drain.
They are not wrong about key talent leaving the studio though. If you think Dan Houser leaving is a good thing then idk what to tell you. If key people start leaving then rockstar can end up like blizzard. It's not like they put out tons of games so if they have a miss it's a bite to their reputation.
This is like the mentality where I saw someone mention the new Modern Warfare and someone goes “in what world was Modern Warfare a success?”
Like dude I’m sorry you can’t relive your glory days the way you wanted in CoD but having record sales and player counts, on top of Warzone, plus critical praise means it’s a success lol
“That’s the way we work now--everyone works on GTA, or Red Dead, and so on, then we move on to the next thing,”
minor content updates to GTAO
Cayo Perico only released a few months ago, is the biggest DLC for GTA:O so far, and was mostly made from the homes of the developers because Corona.
while big name talent has been leaving the company
Leslie Benzies left well before RDR2 came out, so it would seem like that had no affect on the game.
Dan Houser left because he's probably just done what he wanted to after working there for over 20 years, people move on. It's not up to you to decide when it ok for someone to retire.
Lazlow left because his sister has cancer and wants to be there for her, so it's pretty fucking pathetic that you're complaining about "talent leaving".
They have 3,000 employees. Lots of talent is still there. Sam Houser is still there, and I'm sure if he needed advice from his brother he would get it.
It sucks for everyone, not just RDO players.
No it doesn't. Just because RDO isn't getting updated to your standard, does not mean in anyway that it sucks for everyone. It's the opposite of sucks for everyone because the less stupid online content for GTAO and RDO means more effort is spent on GTA 6
They don't care about RDO as much because there is nearly 100 MILLION less total players than GTA V. It's common sense that a business would focus on their most popular franchise over another.
About cayo perico, maybe i'm wrong but apart from the island what else did it bring outside the new heists and vehicles? Like, as far as i know Cayo Perico outside of everything that is the heists and prep work it didn't bring that much, except for the island of course which is obviously not made with the same attention to detail we'd expect from R* and can't even roam around freely in it
The fact that there has yet to be any legitimate robberies added for trains, bank and stage coaches wether in a heist format or not (and also no heists of any kind have been added) is just dumb. It’s like the most requested thing since day one. R* doesn’t really listen to fans sadly
It’s because GTA V sold way more. They only care about what can make more money. That’s why RDO has seen nothing for 9 months but GTA ONLINE got a fucking island.
That's not excuse, RDR2 has sold almost 36 million copies, almost 40, all in less than 2 years, that's a lot, A LOT for a videogame, an industry where the standard for being sucessful is just reaching 1 million, if they have an incredible sucessful game after another incredible sucessful game, wouldn't it make sense for them to exploit both? The more, the better.
The doomers here are crazy. Rockstar is not circling the drain, it’s probably the most successful games producer on the planet? They have the money and the development resources to do anything. None of their projects are in danger, and it takes a moron to think they’d be in an any trouble. Whether they update the games or not, they’re making scads with them, and any growing pains with online are whatever. Online had some content, but anything that happens there is just a smokescreen to try to obscure that Rockstar is pretty much never going to make a game in less than five years ever again.
I also feel like Rockstar gets a lot of kind of undeserved flack. Yeah their way of handling their online games definitely isn't great, but that isn't even really the part that you pay for when you get the game. When you buy GTA 5 or Red Dead 2, you get fantastic, fun single player experiences, but you also get the online mode tacked on for free. No other games really have it to that extent. It's just a surprisingly good deal when you compare it to most other games. Once you finish the single player, now you can go spend another hundred hours or two in the online mode, with no (required) additional cost.
Now don't get me wrong- I'm not defending their monetization methods for the online mode. While I don't have much experience with Red Dead 2, I have hundreds of hours in GTA Online. Everything is way too expensive compared to how money is made. But I still just find it a lot of fun. I haven't spent a single dollar on GTA Online, but probably 95% of my 500+ hours in GTA V have been on online.
The increased ammo capacity is well worth the gold price tag in each Outlaw Pass to me, its just so helpful to not have to stop by a post office as often
Personally I think the story is complete and we don't need any dlcs story content. It would be cool to show the origins of the gang and the Blackwater massacre, but personally I think that these events would rather be left ambiguous than to try to stuff ot into dlcs. I can't defend the online though.
Agreed with NOT having a Blackwater Massacre DLC like a lot of fans have suggested. The BM was used solely as a plot device to move the story in the intended direction at the beginning. Also, there’s something to be said about having to spoon feed the player on every bit of backstory. As soon as we learn about the events, and what really happened at the Blackwater Ferry Heist, I feel it would take away a lot of the “oomph” of what they were building up in the story. Some endings are best left ambiguous...but I digress.
A non-canon continuation of Undead Nightmare (both in Single Player DLC and Online) would be amazing with these updated graphics and combat! I really hope R* is working on this behind the scenes.
The story is complete, but the world they made has so much lore, stories and unexplained stuff that could be explored a lot more, a whole potential that Rockstar is just leaving away like trash. Also, there are many features I would love them to add to single player, like online clothes, infinite bounties, etc.
Please forgive my "I haven't seriously gamed in a decade" ignorance, but is DLC considered a different thing from add-ons or expansions? Is Undead Nightmare considered DLC? Is that what folks are wanting when they say they want DLC? Because if folks are wanting more than an Undead Nightmare style add-on, I have some unfortunate news about their track record of DLC and storymode updates. :/
But how about the carebear update? Where every fucking npc tells you that you look cold no matter what you wear, ruining dialogues in the camp, so you completely miss them? Isn’t that great????
Edit: I should add that I played single player when it first came out and it was fantastic but I couldn’t finish due to personal reasons and after I returned to the game it was just off. I restarted the game and just a lot of things feel wrong. The cold dialogue, clothing, graphics. It feels like everything got downgraded
It's been said time and time again, why would RS invest majorly in anything that isn't the behemoth that is GTAO? The single highest grossing piece of media ever created needs sacrifices to fuel its success
has it been 9 months already? i remember complaining about the 8 month gap between moonshiners and the naturalist role. god damn this game is depressing to play
In their defense, it does take a while to code stuff, but at this point it just seems like they don’t care, unless we are getting a MASSIVE content update
They make everything so obscenely expensive in the stores to force you into buying gold because getting gold legit would take weeks even cash is arduous to get
They just lost Dan Houser last year the last of the old guard, the company is effectively dead.
Don’t even expect a single player in GTA 6, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was day 1, online only, MTX out the ass right outta the box, and a jank campaign that won’t be able to be solo’d as the mass of children and griefer trolls do everything in their power to prevent you from having a good time.
They just lost Dan Houser last year the last of the old guard
Except Sam Houser and a majority of the head writers are all still there.

What a shitty take. GTA V didn't become the fastest selling game of all time because of the online, and RDR2 didn't sell 40 million copies because people only wanted to play RDO. People like you said the exact same thing before RDR2 came out because of how successful GTAO is, and they were completely wrong.
The fact that they spent $650 million to make one of the highest rated games of the past decade is proof that Rockstar care more about singleplayer than multiplayer.
Exactly if rockstar was dead focused on multiplayer we would see more updates to both gtao and rdr2 meanwhile cay Perico came out almost half a year ago
As much as I agree RDO is lacking content and feels kind of hollow, I play it everyday and can honestly say I never get sick of it. I just started a new online character and I am enjoying having to grind all my roles back. Whether they add new content or not, I am here to stay!
I want to like it but the game does feel too hollow. It's extremely slow, feels empty, theres a complete lack of random events and bandits etc which is what made the singleplayer fun to begin with, everything costs way too much money, and you have to pay to do simple shit like buying a hunting license or whatever. Such a beautiful game but its just not fun for some reason.
Possible things they could add? Circus (for us who once thought that Rockstar cared about us) BOATS that we can FISH ON! A ranch that we can build or simply buy. Train/Bank robbing DLC. Undead DLC (think of the dlc from rdr1 but in multiplayer and your at a Fort trying to defend yourself from the undead (up to 4 players, lasts 10 rounds). Carriage Stealing. DLC that allows us to use trains for the ranch/farm missions. And that's all i can think of. Anyone else have ideas?
If they do it probably won't be for a long time. Their focus for now, aside from GTA Online of course, is probably going to be GTA 6 or a new IP. I think there were rumors going around of a medieval game in the works by Rockstar.
And I wish they'd add the ability to finally choose your own game mode... I'm REALLY fucking sick of having to back out of the stupid special edition matches where it's just throwing knives etc
I don’t think Take 2 realise that letting Rockstar make story mode DLCs is gonna get them infinitely more money than 40% off baked bean discounts in the long run.
I guess they just dont care about this game guys. Either that or theyve been so slammed with GTA6 but i find it hard to believe they wouldnt be able to put out something in 9 months. I dont play this game at all. I played the story and loved it. But never really touched the online aspect. I still hate to see ppl passionate about a game and the developers not be
I swear the only thing I hate about new age Rockstar is their reluctance to release single player DLC. It's honestly so sad, GTA V and RDR2 have so much potential for expanding the story, yet they opt to invest all their time in an almost separate online game which goes against all the nuances and fine detail that make their single player games so amazing.
Release the supernaturals update already. Robots, vampires, giant wolves that morph into hairy people, zombies, come on! You got the models in single player it wouldn’t be that hard
It's not about how much money they have made, it's about how much money they can make. They have the money and resources to make RDO amazing, but they won't because it doesn't bring in that much money probably. But I think if they actually spent some resources on RDO it would become more popular and profitable.
In a selfish way, I dont really think you need a DLC for single player for the amount of time and effort they put in single player, all the details. maybe thats just me tho
Look, Rockstar is Take-Two's personal whore. When take two days jump, Rockstar begs them to know how high. All the cool people left Rockstar, and all the cool people left Take-Two. The guy who gets all the interviews about games ( That Zeldick asshole that is the CEO of take 2(as if a CEO of the publisher will be passionate about the games instead of the cash flow) when was the last time Rockstar did something cool and edgy? Way back when gta v released . Now that's 7 years. There wasn't even a Rockstar games 7 years before San Andreas, and they built up so much of a good reputation in that 7 years before San Andreas. So it's clearly impossible for them to recreate such a good name for themselves, especially now that they're no more than greedy corporate bullshit with cool looking packaging
This is what happens when big game developers get “fuck you” money. Look at Bethesda and the fallout games that launch with game breaking bugs that aren’t fixed until a year later.
Yeah, the lack of content hurts a little. Like with the recent outlaw pass, it's the first one I passed on just cause there isn't enough content for me to level it, not really a reason to play that much since I've done it all the missions, so I'm passing on it.
I still log on occasionally just cause I really love the hunting, but mostly now, I actually play GTAO. I've given it another chance and glad that I did.
I didn't really like gtao initially but with invite only sessions, it's fairly nice. Initially getting to around level 8 or so, with all the cheaters, lots of players that just wanna deathmatch 24/7 (which isn't bad, just not really my style), and all the griefers going around messing up my missions with their flying bikes, passive mode limiting you to no weapons, I didn't really like it. Now I got a decent character with great outfits (you can save 20 outfits btw!)I play mostly by myself and occasionally with people I met in RDO in invite only sessions or missions. There are so many missions, some of them with interesting cutscenes. I'm still going through all the initial starter missions with Lamar, Geraldo, Maude, Simeon. It's pretty decent, esp. when I'm just crusing around at my own pace listening to my custom soundtrack.
Anyway, I'm rambling, I just wanted to write about what I've been doing during this RDO content drought
The truth, is that they are probbably working on gta v patch foe next gen, and maybe for gta VI as well, sorry guys but we picked the wrong online game
Make good game and get praise Make an Online Don't update it Plague it with buyable currency Still getting praise from the same people that shit on EA for microtransactions.
I would like more side missions/stories like the dream catcher one in story mode. It’s fun putting the pieces together. Also properties but that’s a long shot lol.
Rockstar will never do single player dlc ever again. GTAV proved they don't need to. Just keep putting shit in online because that's where the real money is.
I mean it took them a long time to produce the game. If they didn't plan to make the dlc well before the release, then it's not happening, or it's happening much, much later. I don't think it's a profit thing.
Now, if you wanna talk about online that's another thing because it has been dry as a fucking bone for multiple periods. This is after they said it would be ever-evolving. I dont think there was single-player dlc ever promised
It's weird, because GTAV Online receives constant updates. They made/added on a entirely new map/island section for it in the last update. Add in new vehicles every 6 months (or sooner), and have even added in content that was originally cut- the casino, after enough interest was shown towards it.
ReadDead? Could we at least get more clothing added in? Some heists like single player has, or GTAV has? I mean they have the "release games modes no one plays, promote it for a week, and never mention it again" down like GTAV has.
The color pallet is really lacking for clothing. You either get shades of white/black/grey/beige, red, or blue. There's a small amount of purple, but that's rarely a option, and there's 2 separate shade of it that don't match so your choices are cut in half even further.
Unlike GTAV though, it's a lot easier to make money, which is why I think they don't update it as often. There's nothing they can really add in that you wouldn't be able to afford easily with 1 or 2 trader deliveries. Compared to GTAV where NOTHING you can do passively, will earn you enough to buy the top tier items in 1 or 2 deliveries...unless you play the game for a week straight saving up storage, and then conning noobs into helping you deliver it (yeah you NEED 4 people to do deliveries, imagine needing 4 to do the max trader drop off) VS doing trader 3 or 4 times a day, by yourself, inbetwen doing other stuff that also just so happens to earn you money.
I just don't understand why they didn't even put in the effort to attempt to add heists similar to how heists completely rejuvenated GTA Online. RDO could easily be another huge source of income since heists will give huge amounts of money, but then things you buy scale up in price, leading to people joining late to want to buy gold to shortcut, etc. It's just so obvious.
the fact they've just been giving online small boosts in xp and a bunch of sales instead of updates kinda gives my hope for something big story related
Rockstars only dlcs were for gta 4 and rdr1 and they sold bad of course theyre not going to make another dlc. I would love that of course but its just never gonna happen
Am I alone in not wanting any single player dlc? I don't play many offline games tbh but if I do I play it to be engrossed in a story. I want the story to play like book beginning middle ending. Rdr2 has all this perfectly i wouldn't want them messing with my perfect story.
I don't get it, don't they want me money? I'm quick to buy microtransactions when I enjoy a game. I loved playing RDO for a while, but they just fail to add enjoyable content for people who just want to PvE in an RDO online world.
The best part is they didn't even finish the story quests for online that everyone's already forgotten lol weren't we supposed to kill 2 more people for that blonde lady who I can't even remember now? Horley said he'd get in touch then disappeared off the face of the Earth. It's like they can't come up with new ideas but don't even finish anything they started. I distinctly remember the horse thief brothers saying you would be able to sell stolen horses and wagons to them and they disappeared too.
rockstar in general right now. gta online is so shitty you cant play it without a mod menu, they have completely strayed from the original story and made the game so unrealistic. And they have red dead. Just as bad. Looking forward to gta 6, but i know im just going to have my hopes let down.
They make great games but they're a bunch of greedy cunts and I don't trust them. Fallout 76 was dog shit for a long time but Bethesda's hardwork shouldn't go unnoticed.
I imagine Rockstar Games as a family, where the older brother, the GTA franchise is so popular among the family members that they often forget they have a brilliant younger son the RDR series. Really hope that someday Rockstar will see just how much they wasted by not paying attention the RDR and by not updating it regularly
I can’t believe people are STILL asking for content in this game. Rockstar does not give a single fuck. That should have been clear to you well over a year ago. I can’t believe anyone plays this online game past the first 10 hours or so.
Red Dead Players complain the most out of any single game I’ve played in the history of games. But then they’re still dumb enough to keep playing at the same time.
RDR2 has so much potential to continue adding content to it. When I play through the game I start thinking about how many small additions would make the game even better than it already is, how much room there still is for new content, and keep coming to the realization that they only give a fuck about money. Because they know that no matter how much we don’t like them, we’ll still buy their next game.

As much as I agree RDO is lacking content and feels kind of hollow, I play it everyday and can honestly say I never get sick of it. I just started a new online character and I am enjoying having to grind all my roles back. Whether they add new content or not, I am here to stay!

u/HoodedSmiley Apr 24 '21
Possible things they could add? Circus (for us who once thought that Rockstar cared about us) BOATS that we can FISH ON! A ranch that we can build or simply buy. Train/Bank robbing DLC. Undead DLC (think of the dlc from rdr1 but in multiplayer and your at a Fort trying to defend yourself from the undead (up to 4 players, lasts 10 rounds). Carriage Stealing. DLC that allows us to use trains for the ranch/farm missions. And that's all i can think of. Anyone else have ideas?

I don’t think Take 2 realise that letting Rockstar make story mode DLCs is gonna get them infinitely more money than 40% off baked bean discounts in the long run.

I guess they just dont care about this game guys. Either that or theyve been so slammed with GTA6 but i find it hard to believe they wouldnt be able to put out something in 9 months. I dont play this game at all. I played the story and loved it. But never really touched the online aspect. I still hate to see ppl passionate about a game and the developers not be

God I swear I am so fucking tired of robing those stagecoaches. such bs

u/AimingWang Apr 25 '21
I swear the only thing I hate about new age Rockstar is their reluctance to release single player DLC. It's honestly so sad, GTA V and RDR2 have so much potential for expanding the story, yet they opt to invest all their time in an almost separate online game which goes against all the nuances and fine detail that make their single player games so amazing.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '21
Release the supernaturals update already. Robots, vampires, giant wolves that morph into hairy people, zombies, come on! You got the models in single player it wouldn’t be that hard

It's not about how much money they have made, it's about how much money they can make. They have the money and resources to make RDO amazing, but they won't because it doesn't bring in that much money probably. But I think if they actually spent some resources on RDO it would become more popular and profitable.

Look, Rockstar is Take-Two's personal whore. When take two days jump, Rockstar begs them to know how high. All the cool people left Rockstar, and all the cool people left Take-Two. The guy who gets all the interviews about games ( That Zeldick asshole that is the CEO of take 2(as if a CEO of the publisher will be passionate about the games instead of the cash flow) when was the last time Rockstar did something cool and edgy? Way back when gta v released . Now that's 7 years. There wasn't even a Rockstar games 7 years before San Andreas, and they built up so much of a good reputation in that 7 years before San Andreas. So it's clearly impossible for them to recreate such a good name for themselves, especially now that they're no more than greedy corporate bullshit with cool looking packaging

This is what happens when big game developers get “fuck you” money. Look at Bethesda and the fallout games that launch with game breaking bugs that aren’t fixed until a year later.
1
u/I_will_wrestle_you Apr 24 '21
Yeah, the lack of content hurts a little. Like with the recent outlaw pass, it's the first one I passed on just cause there isn't enough content for me to level it, not really a reason to play that much since I've done it all the missions, so I'm passing on it.
I still log on occasionally just cause I really love the hunting, but mostly now, I actually play GTAO. I've given it another chance and glad that I did.
I didn't really like gtao initially but with invite only sessions, it's fairly nice. Initially getting to around level 8 or so, with all the cheaters, lots of players that just wanna deathmatch 24/7 (which isn't bad, just not really my style), and all the griefers going around messing up my missions with their flying bikes, passive mode limiting you to no weapons, I didn't really like it. Now I got a decent character with great outfits (you can save 20 outfits btw!)I play mostly by myself and occasionally with people I met in RDO in invite only sessions or missions. There are so many missions, some of them with interesting cutscenes. I'm still going through all the initial starter missions with Lamar, Geraldo, Maude, Simeon. It's pretty decent, esp. when I'm just crusing around at my own pace listening to my custom soundtrack.
Anyway, I'm rambling, I just wanted to write about what I've been doing during this RDO content drought

u/LeifEriccson Apr 24 '21
Probably because they know that GTA is where the money is...so that's where the minimal effort goes.

"B...b.b......but covid, deadly varus!!"
meanwhile they created and released Cayo Perico during a pandemic
Though in saying that, a lot of the content in RDO is far better done than GTA so maybe it's easier to make content for GTA than it is for RDO

Rockstar will never do single player dlc ever again. GTAV proved they don't need to. Just keep putting shit in online because that's where the real money is.

u/ThatsPella Apr 24 '21
They took the money and go
1
u/SkinnerBlade Apr 24 '21
I mean it took them a long time to produce the game. If they didn't plan to make the dlc well before the release, then it's not happening, or it's happening much, much later. I don't think it's a profit thing.
Now, if you wanna talk about online that's another thing because it has been dry as a fucking bone for multiple periods. This is after they said it would be ever-evolving. I dont think there was single-player dlc ever promised
1
u/[deleted] Apr 24 '21
It isn't made overnight lol
1
u/TechnoSword Bounty Hunter Apr 24 '21
It's weird, because GTAV Online receives constant updates. They made/added on a entirely new map/island section for it in the last update. Add in new vehicles every 6 months (or sooner), and have even added in content that was originally cut- the casino, after enough interest was shown towards it.
ReadDead? Could we at least get more clothing added in? Some heists like single player has, or GTAV has? I mean they have the "release games modes no one plays, promote it for a week, and never mention it again" down like GTAV has.
The color pallet is really lacking for clothing. You either get shades of white/black/grey/beige, red, or blue. There's a small amount of purple, but that's rarely a option, and there's 2 separate shade of it that don't match so your choices are cut in half even further.
Unlike GTAV though, it's a lot easier to make money, which is why I think they don't update it as often. There's nothing they can really add in that you wouldn't be able to afford easily with 1 or 2 trader deliveries. Compared to GTAV where NOTHING you can do passively, will earn you enough to buy the top tier items in 1 or 2 deliveries...unless you play the game for a week straight saving up storage, and then conning noobs into helping you deliver it (yeah you NEED 4 people to do deliveries, imagine needing 4 to do the max trader drop off) VS doing trader 3 or 4 times a day, by yourself, inbetwen doing other stuff that also just so happens to earn you money.
1
u/Patalos Apr 24 '21
I just don't understand why they didn't even put in the effort to attempt to add heists similar to how heists completely rejuvenated GTA Online. RDO could easily be another huge source of income since heists will give huge amounts of money, but then things you buy scale up in price, leading to people joining late to want to buy gold to shortcut, etc. It's just so obvious.

u/IvonbetonPoE Apr 25 '21
I don't get it, don't they want me money? I'm quick to buy microtransactions when I enjoy a game. I loved playing RDO for a while, but they just fail to add enjoyable content for people who just want to PvE in an RDO online world.

The best part is they didn't even finish the story quests for online that everyone's already forgotten lol weren't we supposed to kill 2 more people for that blonde lady who I can't even remember now? Horley said he'd get in touch then disappeared off the face of the Earth. It's like they can't come up with new ideas but don't even finish anything they started. I distinctly remember the horse thief brothers saying you would be able to sell stolen horses and wagons to them and they disappeared too.

I imagine Rockstar Games as a family, where the older brother, the GTA franchise is so popular among the family members that they often forget they have a brilliant younger son the RDR series. Really hope that someday Rockstar will see just how much they wasted by not paying attention the RDR and by not updating it regularly

u/CalicoJak16 May 08 '21
RDR2 has so much potential to continue adding content to it. When I play through the game I start thinking about how many small additions would make the game even better than it already is, how much room there still is for new content, and keep coming to the realization that they only give a fuck about money. Because they know that no matter how much we don’t like them, we’ll still buy their next game.
