    If you want to play hours and hours doing the same thing to unlock one suit this is you game but :

    Long intro mainly solo quite cool but mostly useless. Then you discover than everything is super-expensive and it takes ages to unlock.    If you want to play hours and hours doing the same thing to unlock one suit this is you game but :

    Missions are always the same, objectives are useless and everyone try to kill as many enemies as possible to greed the XP so it's not interesting at all.

    I made a girl (mostly to see the differences), customisation is quite poor (do not expect a change IMO) suit are very expensive. I saw only 4. I'll focus the 2 which are dresses hence the most expensive. One is quite ugly (citizen but not the cool ones from saint denis) @225$ (which is at least the 4 firsts hours of grinding without spending one dollar) and the other is more about a bounty-huntress but no price and can be unlocked @lvl92 (not less than 150h IMO) or 19 gold bars (6/7 euros...) And same **** for weapons and other stuff
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    Barely nothing except routine and repetitive thing online and it's all about who get most XP in missions.

    You cannot steal NPC horses, the one you may tame are all ****ty, everything has been done for you to pay, so let's go if you're rich
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    For a game that complex I understand it may be buggy and I did not have many problems.
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    For the rest MP modes seems standard shoots and races. For large team shooting mode, not many people. 4 teams of 2 for conquest mode because there's barely nobody (instead of 6). Tried to join a race and the game was already running so I spectate and it seems that players are using their own horses... not sur how it work but they were only two in the game 1 month after the release...
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    WEAPONS ARE EXPENSIVE AND CAN BE UNLOCKED ONLY WITH MANY HOURS OR REAL MONEY T_T really ... level restrictions everywhere ...
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    LAST THING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY RIDING THE VOID BECAUSE YOU WILL... so boring. Fast travel not free and constraining but quite cheap.    … Expand

    Actual line of dialogue from an RDO NPC: "That would be better with some GOLD, do ya have any?"

    The building blocks are already being put in place to make this a micro-transaction-filled f###fest. There are numerous items that you can only buy with GOLD, and it is abysmal grinding to get even one of those bars. They continue to nerf legitimate ways to make money under the guise of    Actual line of dialogue from an RDO NPC: "That would be better with some GOLD, do ya have any?"

They continue to nerf legitimate ways to make money under the guise of "correcting the economy", which is R* speak for "We've noticed you don't want to buy our micro-transactions, so we made it more grindy so you'll have to". Then there's the gameplay. Its relatively similar to GTA, but GTA HAS PRIVATE SERVERS. Since they don't have private servers, you will be constantly murdered ingame, or you will murder another griefer constantly ingame, with no end in sight. Play single player until they get their act together, and stop this extortion hiding behind gameplay.    … Expand

    A cheap shameless money grab from Bugstar games. Haven't seen this much bugs since Fallout 76 from Bethesda. I don't recommend it to anyone.

    Do not buy this game unless you are willing to spend real money to buy gold in game.

    Terrible way to treat players

The grind in the game is endless, it is not clear what to buy for it. pullover? Seriously? pvp is not in the game. the developers don't know what it is. in their opinion, pvp is when you kill another player with an explosive cartridge, and then apparently show him your sweater for 6 gold and eat it all with beans for 3 dollars. seriously, people themselves agree on pvp, come up with rules, choose places on the map ... the game is not about that, a game about long boring missions for $ 3. the game is dead, empty showdowns, bots farm gold in showdown, apparently as intended by the ingenious developers. the events are just brilliant, you can protect the animal for 20 minutes and there will be a mistake. there is a suggested showdown series that just doesn't work ahahahha, it just doesn't work, 6 months it just doesn't work. rock stars have already buried this game, do you want to play with a corpse? I give the game 1 point for beautiful graphics.… Expand

    Creativity, passion, innovation and making games for gamers wihtout an agenda or narrative pushing, politics and not only for profits. Gone are those days. All about forcing the player that's already paid for this game to make more in game purchases, gold bars. Pathetic how low all big corporations have sunk. These F* sore losers have their morales misplaced and corrupted.

No such thing only grinding for hours at a time only to get one piece of junk.… Expand

    A much slower-paced affair than the madcap GTA Online, Red Dead Online is already loaded with activities and modes and provides a promising foundation for a long-lasting multiplayer experience. The PvP modes have a tendency to frustrate but the co-op shines, and Red Dead Online is expansive enough that you can ignore entire swathes of it and still have more than enough to keep you occupied. If you haven’t dipped in yet, round up some friends and saunter in. It’s well worth a visit.
