Do they have gang hideouts in this yet?
I must've done the Pike's Basin one on the original way over 100 times.

They've been in. But they're random as fuck as to when they will appear. Can't grind them out for XP like in the first game.

ok, their blip system is the first thing I've see them do that says to me that maybe they do care to reduce griefing and make things more fun for those of us not wanting to deal with that. That sounds awesome. And that includes playing GTA V online since it came out. And when they implement it I might come back to try it (right now I'm into Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 VR but I'll log in once this weekend for the gold). ESpecially if they add more free roam activities (hell, dailies is a start. I just want some sort of goal). And more interesting things to buy (give me more stable space and more choice of horses damnit. I want an all black shire!).
(I do complain about the grind but I honestly like grindy games, it's just a little too grindy and obviously designed so on purpose <- this is actually what offends me most rather than the fact it is grindy, just that it was designed too grindy *on purpose*. What really offends me more about rockstar online is the fact they seem to encourage griefers... this is the first time it seems they are putting an honestly looks like it might actually help system to help discourage them or at least avoid them. Before all their systems looked like they were designed to appear to want to help but had an obvious flaw that was hard for me to believe was overlooked. LIke in gta making aggressive players dots red... except that counted also for going against NPCs, not just players. Even us passive people liek fucking with the NPCs so that meant the red dot meant nothing).

As much as I hate red dead online right now, you all remember how boring GTA online was when it launched right? Obviously multiplayer is not a priority for Rockstar when they launch a game. They are more than happy with single player and a barebones online beta that they build upon over time.
I'm sure they have big content updates planned.

There was more to do in GTAO at the start with friends than there is in this tbf, but yeah GTAO was pretty barebones until heists, which is what we're all awaiting.
No. I remember being pretty entertained by gta online when it came out honestly. I certainly didn't bore of it near as quick as rdr which I tried for a week or two and drifted off.
It has to do with the modes as well, I spent a ton of time racing in GTA:O when it launched. Absolutely no desire to compete in the horse races in RDR.
Racing cars at 150mph will always be more fun than racing horses. GTA has a more immediately satisfying basic gameplay loop, a product of its setting.
I jumped back in to some MP modes since it sounds like they rolled out some fixes....nope. This might be the worst MP effort this gen. Every game mode Ive played is hilariously broken. People constantly spawn in similar areas leading to spawn camping and open maps with over watch points that look directly at the spawns encourage this crap. Auto aim (why is this still in MP?) is wonky as fuck, some times it works, others it doesnt. Damage modeling is...uh, inconsistent to put it nicely; and none of this touches the rampant lag, teleporting, general glitches.
There is some slight fun to be had in the free roaming but for the most part RD:O is a steaming pile of shit and its baffling that this seems to get a pass from the press or just simply labeled as boring.

Yes you can, just invite your friends to form a posse before you start any "story" mission.
I wonder if this is too late?
I know the game probably did well initially, but there's been price drops on it ever since the new year; adding all of this stuff is great but it feels like this is stuff that should have been in the Online when it launched. It would have been perfectly fine to have the online launch a few months after the initial game launch.

It's telling when a new update has been live for two days and no responses in this thread. Looks like they killed the in game economy again. At this rate rockstars next game will just be microtransactions. Buy each mission piecemeal.
Did this update at least fix the issue where changing your hairstyle changes your characters age to the max?

With the radar changes I barely run into anyone grifers are huge red dots on your radar and I was in the swamps outside of Saint Denis and saw some grifers on my radar that were standing around in New Austin. Plus it feels like they nerfed the auto aim so no can shoot for shit anymore so fights got more evened out and aren't just push up on the analogue stick to one shot anymore. Also Rockstar fixed the bandannas clipping into peoples faces by forcing peoples characters faces to change I got lucky and my character still looks decent but some peoples characters got totally wrecked.
Looks like they saw my above post, daily challenges that encourage grieving will be changed in an upcoming update:
Also, Passive Mode is coming! Kinda...
Full update article here. All of this is coming in some "Spring Update" with no actual date attached. It's nice that they're willing to make these changes, though most of the original design choices really shouldn't have been made in the first place.

Are people still playing? I just started this week and.... It's pretty good so far. Haven't been griefed and I'm having fun just roaming and completing missions. Wish there was some voices, but gesturing to NPCs is passable.
Would love to join a posse.

I play once or twice a week it's not very popular here on Resetera I'm excited for the next update though it looks promising. I mostly play early in the morning but sometimes I'm around in the evening if I'm off if you're on PS4 I'd be down to group up. I'd play more if I knew anyone else that played but all my friends quit and my wife doesn't think it's fun so I mostly just hunt and pvp I'm still pretty low level only 25 I think but next update I'm planning on playing alot more.
If you wanna group up sometime I'll message you my PSN Id I don't like posting it in public. It's just a glitch what's important is your horse level which is what matters because it gives your horse extra health and stamina. I don't think so but after playing for awhile you'll have a good idea of where to look for flowers and animals most of the animal spawns are the same as in single player. If you wanna hurt small animals head into Tall Trees and if you wanna hunt Bison they are on the plains between Valentine and Rhodes.
If you want money, play through the online story missions. There aren't that many, and you get a decent payout by the end of it.
Weapon wise I'd prioritize saving up for a varmint rifle for small game and birds, and an actual rifle (bolt action is probably the obvious choice, but something with a scope can be useful, and not many people carry one) for alligators.
I don't know if the in game economy has changed lately, but shooting heron on the east coast just north of Saint Denis, across from the island prison, and hunting alligator or bison, and selling what you get from them, was the best way to make money.
Also, make sure you loot corpses whenever you can. You get hardly anything from them, but it will add up.
I'm curious as to what the player counts for both RDO and GTAO are now.
Wait it's forced auto-aim? Lmao
Also is choosing the skinny body type a mistake bc apparently there's weight gain and loss in the mp too?
You can turn it off personally, but all the other dorks in the lobby will usually be using it.
How thr fuck has thr multiplayer been out this long and they still don't have free aim or soft lock lobbies?
Why the fuck do rockstar games even default to hardlock? Does anyone enjoy that?
Why are there so many arbitrary rank locked items?

So now that Red Dead Online is out of Beta, is there a new thread, or are we continuing with this one?
I'm keen to hear impressions on the new story missions that were added in the patch last night.

I dunno someone on another thread was talking about making an OT but I dunno if anyone actually is. I can't wait to do the story missions I did a bunch of dynamic events yesterday and it was really fun.
Apologies if it's been asked and answered, does anyone know if the control settings from the new online patch are in the single player as well?
And is free roam still a case of anyone can kill anyone without having to request it first?

You can go into defensive mode and people wont be able to one shot you and get a big hostility bonus if they kill you you're gonna get ganked but most people will leave you alone and the griefers are giant red dots so you'll know if someone is gonna be a problem before they get close.
So this update totally broke this shit for me.
I played one of the new story missions, beat it, then the game booted me from the server and put me in an empty server. Then I tried getting a mission from 'The Kid', which I accepted, then all the sudden it reset, no mission marker.
I then went out into the snow area (I cant be bothered remembering the name) to get a mission from a bandito in a shack. I accepted the mission....then couldnt leave the shack because the door was locked. Thankfully I had some dynamite and blew myself up. So I do the mission (where you have to track down people to kill) I finished it, got the XP, then all the sudden the mission glitched and totally reset like I never did it at all. WTF.
I ran into more glitches in an hour of gameplay than I have the entire rest of the time playing RDO.

So if I started the online portion with a buddy, is it easily playable through the entire thing?
