    Co-op easily outclasses PvP, but Red Dead Online is a promising foundation for a long-lasting multiplayer experience.

    Whether you're a wild mustang wanderer in free roam or a hardcore PvPer, RDO delivers pretty amazing fun. I'd be remiss, however, if I didn't mention that it's still a “mostly what you make of it” online experience. New content comes in dribs and drabs. And when you look over yonder at GTA V (where players are getting casinos and all sorts of cool things) it's clear that RDO needs better and more frequent support. Hopefully Rockstar can be spurred into that action, because what's already here is well worth saddling up for.

    It’s quite a lot of fun actually, but it’s let down by stingy payouts and the shadow of microtransactions.

    There’s a lot to love about Red Dead Online – it’s remarkably stable, vast in scale, and completing storyline missions in co-op is a delight – yet, the unremarkable combat is really a sticking point. Essentially it is identical to what was found in the original Red Dead Online, and how Rockstar adapt to this over the coming weeks and months will prove vital in how long this virtual wild west remains populated.

    You start the game as usual, but now you get a choice of story mode or online. Again very quick load time. Then you create your male or femaleYou start the game as usual, but now you get a choice of story mode or online. Again very quick load time. Then you create your male or female character, very fun indeed. Then into story mode. Then after you’ve done that, you have the whole world to choose from in regard to what you wanna do. But be warned, the more you play the better you’ll be become, level/rank up if you will. Cos there are players online who are very mean and have ranked up very high and they don’t mind going round shooting everyone or killing you. It’s basically that’s simple. But when the map opens up you’ll know where to go and where not to go. If your new to this online part, steer clear of anything involving killing cos like all these online multiplayers I think one of them is called Call Of Duty, you’ll die immediately. But the more you play, the more people share their likes and dislikes, the more Rockstar will add and make this the most enjoyable online experience ever. But just like the story mode amazing but with real people. Well done rockstar.… Expand

Now we can be bounty hunters, trade, do missions for people, you can collect, ect. Only thing now is that you can't buy to much things, but I'll give them some time and hope they add it to the new outlaw pass.
    Edit: They've finally added a property to buy. It is a moonshiner shack, and it even feels like a home. It's so much fun making the moonshine and sell it to so I'll give it 10/10 now. Good job Rockstar!    … Expand

    I love the world of Red Dead Redemption, and living in it with other players is a very welcome addition, but unfortunately Rockstar GamesI love the world of Red Dead Redemption, and living in it with other players is a very welcome addition, but unfortunately Rockstar Games doesn't really care about it. It's fun for a while, there are some nice gamemodes, and the story is interesting for the most part, but the map feels empty... it's an enjoyable experience and it desperately needs more content.… Expand

    During each of our RD2 sessions we probably spent 60% of our time dealing with infinite load screens, poor menu systems, bugs in the UI stopping us from: inviting to posse, setting up a camp, finding a camp, playing as part of the same session, setting up a profession, not being able to talk to NPCs... (I could go on), constantly being kicked and having to go through the whole joining process again.

    The menu system for this game is absolute madness. UX/UI have never been something Rockstar are good at but I've never seen it so bad that it actually destroyed the enjoyment of what seemed to be an outstanding and beautiful game when it worked.

    We've now given up wrestling with it. It's not a fun way to spend limited gaming time. I hope it gets better in the future.    … Expand

    Horribly buggy. Half the game doesn't work. It really needs to go back to beta.
