    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.

    Its great to see how Rockstar has managed to create an online environment with very little downtime and a story to boot which is surprising.Its great to see how Rockstar has managed to create an online environment with very little downtime and a story to boot which is surprising. Unfortunately I have to give it a 1 for a very serious issue: It's Economy.

    The amount of money you earn in missions is pitiful. Usually about $4-7, and in comparison: Guns average around $130 - $200.
    Even if you win a Battle Royale match you'll only get $10.

    It's very clear this system was set in place to get people to purchase microtransactions, those are currently not online ... yet. However the menus have clearly been set up. It looks like Rockstar knows how controversial they're system is going to be and disabled it at launch to allow for its players to demand it due to how expensive everything is. NO! Don't fall for that.    … Full Review »

Modes of stupid deadmatch are not interesting and do not give enough money for the victory. It would be better if they did not release this "Pre-Alpha", you could just postpone the release date.… Full Review »
