Red Dead Redemption 2 Sold-In more than 23 million units to date, online performance better than GTA Online
- Thread starter dex3108

That's exactly why I said that I wished for it. They didn't do anything for the GTA 5 SP and we got to learn that SP DLC was transformed into MP content.
Is this going to be the best selling game on both consoles? Is it possible it can beat COD or FIFA in lifetime sales?
Yeah..I don't know, I can definitely get behind the idea of it, but for some reason it just didn't click with me. I ended up not spending a lot of time at camp because I'm just constantly thinking "who am I supposed to be talking to right now though?" I realize of course that's the wrong way to approach the game, but I couldn't help it.
Is what it is man, wouldn't be the first time somebody didn't care for an aspect of this particular game. You're certainly more fair than many in your criticism too lmao.
It's not gonna happen. Rockstar SP DLC is completely dead.
i thought there was a BR mode in it already? Granted on release you couldn't pick which multiplayer mode to join into (who knows why), but i remember playing in a like 10 man bow and arrow only battle royale on like day 1 or 2 of RDR:O going into beta.
thats fine because we will probably get a GTAVI somewhere in those 10 years.
Omg, my literal reaction>RDR2 sells great
Okay, that's pretty much deserved.
>Online performance better than GTA Online
Absolutely deserved. A marvel of a game.
RDR Online fucking sucks though. How is it so popular?

Game of the year, head and shoulders above everything else for me and stands toe to toe with witcher 3 as game of the gen. Well deserved.
goddamn that is an insane number, the hype was real. Given how there isn't really much to do in RDR:O, I hope publishers take away that taking your time to do a game right and giving it a lot of breadth and depth and polish is always the smart decision. *cough* anthem
I suppose that is more in line with how we get to know people in real life. We share activities and experiences and that is how we learn about folks. Sometimes the story of the unique way in which we meet someone becomes a part of our understanding of that person and what they mean to us.
It helps that, while still in beta, it actually works unlike GTAO which took a solid month to even work properly. That's my take on it.
was told this game made 23 million in another thread WOW...just WOW
its already profitable, and the online has more prescense than the juggernaut that was GTA online
INSANE

It had a better opening than GTA Online (unsurprisingly following the succes of GTAO).
I very much doubt RDR Online has continued to have more presence than GTA Online.
Online started better than GTAO but has seemingly already died for the most part. I don't know anyone who plays Red Dead Online anymore. My brother was big on Read Dead Online but he and all his friends dropped it once Apex came out.
The fact this game isn't on PC like GTA hurts the online component a lot.
Probably closer to 25 million by now.
This thread is old.
RDR2 is gonna be the 2nd highest selling Rockstar game ever pretty soon. And it's a non-GTA game, that's wild.
Red Dead Online isn't performing up to snuff, but then again, Rockstar hasn't really done anything noteworthy for Online yet. Gotta wait until the major updates and DLCs roll in.
They are taking way too long to breath life into RDO...interest has shifted elsewhere and I don't know anyone who's still playing it.

Kudos to Rockstar. Great single player/open world experience for me but the multiplayer is ultra terrible.
I love RDR2, I think it was by far the best game of 2018, still play it almost every weekend for a couple hours, and I'm constantly looking for ways to downplay the apparent success of Red Dead Online because I think it's simply a bad game, like GTA Online. I played GTA Online for well over a hundred hours, or more, and generally loathed the game design of it, highly critical of most of it despite playing it through. When I launched Red Dead online and saw nearly all of the same flaws, I just didn't have an interest to stick with it. I played GTA Online thinking that Rockstar would figure it out at some point, but they never did. To see those same decisions made in Red Dead Online, I have no interest in sticking with it.
I also fear that for Red Dead Online to stay successful, Rockstar has to basically ruin the Red Dead property. It's one thing to turn GTA into Saints Row 4, which is what GTA Online is in tone, but it's another to turn Red Dead Redemption into Saints Row.
What makes me so sad is knowing that Red Dead Redemption 2 will never get single player content, despite that there is an enormous, unused, Red Dead Redemption sized canvas for Rockstar to paint with. But, the existence of Red Dead Online will guarantee that never happens.

Totally agreed.
Though I do think knowing RDR 1 was important (surprisingly so for a R* game). But as an RDR 1 fan myself, I loved it all.
I still can't really get into Rockstar's brand of online, but oh well. Considering how immense the single-player experience is in both GTA V and RDR 2, if R* can keep up with developing both sides of the coin then I'm content.
