Red Dead Online's gold bars can now be purchased with real world money
- Thread starter Ben Walker
- Start date
Even in its beta state... no time to waste! gotta have those microtransactions. This is especially annoying when they've clearly demonstrated that the economy is something they'll be adjusting over time.
Where are the fuckin' free aim servers?
This could have been the biggest and most impressive online open world. Such a letdown.

I completely agree. What a shame.

FC5 does not force you to buy them (MTX) but their existance F's with the SP experience ... so a not very positive result.
>he doesn't know about the Fallout 69 server
Neither do I, and I'm at work so I don't feel like googling that would be a wise move.
Details?
Whew, i'm glad that i ignore the MP. Tried it for few hours and i see zero reason to continue.
At least the SP is meaty and without MTX.
Good question, especially when all of their previous games with MP have free-aim playlists.

Anyone that has enough confidence in this buggy trainwreck of a MP game to put real money into it this early is a fool.
There are large amount of people how buy these microtransactions in every game. We are moving direction where games is free to play, and then charged with crazy money for in game content, it's mobile game concept. Congratulation to all of you people how actually buy this shit, you make this happen.
Not touching the online.
It doesn't exist for me, wasn't the reason I bought the game and it's useless.
If I want to grind I'll play D2 which has considerably better gameplay.

I welcome these macro-transactions! Who will think of the poor publishers trying to scrape together some bread crumbs to feed their starving families in their Hollywood mansions?
Rockstar has a pretty good racket going.
-Release a fantastic single player game to critical and commercial acclaim.
-Add the online mode in a month later, long after reviewers have given the game high scores based purely on the single player.
-Call the online launch a "beta" to shield it from criticism
-Add the microtransactions in a few weeks later to further obfuscate the overall impression of the online component.
Like GTAO, this will turn into a money pit if you want to keep up with the steady drip-feed of new content coming out. That or grind like it's a full time job. Rockstar will clamp down nearly instantly on any methods or glitches to get money or rank up faster than they want you to, while taking months to improve performance or even not at all. GTAO to this day is still pretty shitty from a performance stand point.
If this takes off like GTAO did, we may never get another Rockstar game again, or at least not for a very long time. What's the point if they can just continue to print money for minimal effort with their 2 biggest IPs?

Red Dead Online is free to play right? Cause this shit is from free to play games.
Right?
(I know it's not....)

Can't say I'm surprised after reading about hundreds of millions they made from GTA Online.
I could act outraged, but i'm actually not, I'm completely indifferent (and I still need to move past chapter 2 in the story, but I lack the motivation). I made an online character, played for 30 minutes and am sure I'll never touch it again, mtx or no mtx.
But I am also certain that there will be a massive number of people who will spend a lot of money.

I find it easy not to buy them
Had tons of fun in GTA Online and never bought anything. Felt good.

I feel like GTO has more options that people want to pursue. Mansions, yachts, bad ass cars, troop transports, flying vehicles, etc. What does this game offer to really show off the fruits of your grind? (Speaking as someone who has only played single player RDR2.)
Wow! How generous of them!
Thank you Rockstar for being so kind by helping me to save time in my busy life! This is 2018 after all, I need instant gratification with everything! Fuck actually playing games! Who the hell has time for that!?

Lol, maybe they should infuse content first to their 'beta' before they do this since currently there's fuck all to do in the game so why do I even want to buy gold bars for?
"Beta", they said..
Couldn't wait to get their hands on your real gold bars.
Lol to those that thought they want to flesh out the online experience before allowing buying the gold bars.
Loving the single player, but feel the online a bit bland in its current form. They obviously want griefers to go wild and buy this, thats why there isnt a passive mode. Then.. you know, after they hog tie and torture us, we buy gold bars for revenge, right Rockstar?

GOW deserved GOTY because of this kind of shit.
R.I.P to any chances of Single Player DLC.
Single Player RDR2>RDO

Ah, the old 'online store wanting real money for magic money currency in full price game pops up a few weeks after all the reviews are done so it doesn't taint the hype/conversation'. I wish games sites had the budget to go back and keep an eye on this shit that is deliberately evading their critics.
Sweet, the best horse only costs $20 and people where saying prices aren't realistic for the time.
*Deletes RDR2*

So does anyone want to take bets how much the inevitable experimental Dragic light machine gun will cost?
Or the full body plate armor? I'd say 50 gold sounds like a steal for each considering how much this will improve your grief-game.
I can already see the rich kids spamming dynamite from their 80 gold hot air balloons.

Sad but true. It took me several years and over five figures to finally break a really bad habit.
No possible RDR remaster, no possible RDR2 Undead Nightmare or any other horror scenario.
No possible Sadie expansion, nothing.
All we have to look forward to is giant plantation homes and flying horses with mini guns attached to each wing for 100s of gold bars.
Goddamn whales.
it will never be a good deal by design, it's only how bad it is
400 years later
Basically. I"m about 50 hours in and still in chapter 4. I've played a bit of coop with a friend in the online mode, but I'm definitely satisfied w/ what I paid based on the amount of content I'm getting out of single player.
Whatever time I spend in the online mode is just a bonus.
Online wasn't even there at launch so not the same thing really. And what about Smash, you literally got reviews of a multiplayer game offline?
