The purpose of the free gold isn't to get you to appreciate them or play the game more -- it's to get you *used* to spending gold for things, so that it seems like less of a barrier to spend real money on it.

Right but if you just never buy the stuff out of principle it is convenient to have some for whatever dumb cosmetics you might want. 30 gold plus whatever I get playing the game is plenty for me, it's not like I'm going to spend the rest of my life cowboyin'.

I don't plan on playing online until they remove auto aim or put in some sort of anti-greifing system. Last few times I played I get one shot killed way too often and they often downed my horse forcing me to use horse revivers or nag it back to the stables. Half the time I picked up my horse they made me pay for the vet fees.

free gold is cool, there’s some cosmetics I want but didn’t want to blow all my gold buying so this’ll cover that. you can’t really level lock jump anything that’s unfair, which I think is good even though I really want the Springfield already it’s honestly not hard to make money at all if you enjoy hunting and fishing, which I do. im pulling in 180-200 dollars every 45 minutes or so moving at a leisurely pace. gets me a decent amount of exp though nothing compared to what people toiling grinding exploits are getting, but I don’t know how people do that. seems like it would just suck the joy out of the game, especially this early in where there’s not a ton of content so meandering around making money is pretty much The Game. also I’m itching for more content too but like, the game has been out for like 19 days and it’s in beta. maybe give them at least a month to start releasing DLC

There seems to be a bit if people who absolutely despise this game and I just dont understand them. Like I can understand not liking the sluggish mechanics and glut of unnecessary actions but these people will spit hot venom when you say you like it.

It's a story/theme/aesthetics-driven game and some people only want anyone to play maximum challenge spreadsheet roguelikes or something. They can't appreciate the simple pleasure of killing a buck with an arrow from horseback and skinning the carcass in ultra-HD. For this, I pity them.

Half the time I picked up my horse they made me pay for the vet fees. Good news is they specifically said in the last patch notes they're working on anti-griefing systems. Which is good news because it really feels like the game is designed for griefing but I think they just threw it together in like a month and based it mostly on GTAO (which IS designed for griefing) to start with. I didn't have much faith in R* based on GTAO but so far the team working on RDRO seems to both be willing to adjust and listen to feedback about making the game fun, and also have the resources to do quick turnaround on changes and fixes. That said, they may just be trying to get it popular so they can later milk it for more money, but you know. TulliusCicero posted:You can just leave and go to another server instantly though? This is a pretty poo poo response dude, comeon. You really need this spelled out for you? This is like responding to a game-breaking bug with "well you can always load your save game" You sure can, but it doesn't remove potential frustration. And if you keep getting shut down whenever you try to hunt or do a mission, eventually you're just gonna give up.

Revive your horse from the player menu, if you don't have insurance there's a 2 minute cooldown before you can summon her.

Last night my friends and I completed a stranger mission and two posses followed us to the completion point and killed us over and over and the parley prompt never appeared so that was fun as heck alright but I guess we're all ~*carebears*~ or whatever because we didn't find this interesting or entertaining at all.

Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are basically the most expensive jank games ever made. Every single criticism of them is true, but if they work for you (like it does for me) then there's nothing else like them.

From reddit: quote:garreth_vlox Score hidden · 19 minutes ago So here's the math for everyone out there thinking I'll just grind out my gold in pvp matches like I have been hearing people say they will. At 10$ per 25 gold bars you are paying 1 dollar per 2.5 gold bars. At current payout rates on pvp modes being .08 gold per match you have to complete 31 matches to earn the same amount of gold that you can buy with 1 dollar and with average match times running around 10 minutes you have to play roughly 5 hours to earn 2.5 gold bars meaning you are making around 10 cents an hour worth of gold playing in pvp lobbies...

I just went hunting, got shot 2 times trying to go to the butcher and my skins and carcass didn't despawn off my horse like normal. Maybe I got lucky? maybe a bug? Or maybe already some quick turnaround on adjusting the game to make griefing less of a big deal. Since death doesn't cost you anything it doesn't really matter otherwise.

At some point Rockstar really needs to take a look at how more competitive 3rd person shooters made by other studios control and just copy the core mechanics or something. I don't even mind the clunky movement but good god their take on aiming is bad bad bad. I mean the lock-on aim does let me murder screaming teens online at an incredible rate but it just feels a bit hollow, you know? I use free aim in single player and it's like aiming a tank turret.

I don't even mind the clunky movement but good god their take on aiming is bad bad bad. I feel like if they wanted to they would have, you know? The clunky running and walking and little jumps that inevitably cause you to ragdoll on a rock all kinda go hand-in-hand with the gunplay. It doesn't really work for competitive multiplayer in any real sense because of how chunky it is and only really succeeds in spite of all that because of how fun it to screw around and give your guy a hat in a huge, cool-looking open world. Honestly aside from the production values the actual core gameplay of GTAO isn't really any different than that multiplayer San Andreas mod someone made that was basically just goons trying to do stupid motorcycle tricks and blow poo poo up, Rockstar just made a billion dollars from it this time and are inevitably gonna make a billion more from RDO. They have zero incentive to change when people are more than willing to give them money for the awkward multiplayer mod they slapped onto their single player game. But as long as they keep making full single player games before inevitably selling dumbasses gold-plated horse saddles and saloon player bases for like $80 USD I'm cool with it so grift on you beautiful bastards
