GTA5 is the most profitable form of entertainment media in the history of the world. Did anyone doubt RDR was going to have an online mode?

Railroad bonds

You can call that an old joke, but Take Two's CEO pretty much admitted they're planning on taking advantage of microtransactions as much as possible.

This was a pretty obvious natural progression, and I doubt anyone is really surprised. As long as they don't try to blend it too much with the SP I'm good

I kinda wonder about how good it could really be though. Well, at least a free mode anyway

In GTA5, there are all sorts of things to grind for like cars and cribs and what not. And you can always make new looking stuff because of it's modern setting.

I just can't see that happening in a Red Dead game but maybe my imagination just isn't expanded enough.

Hey there's even a link to an exclusive Q&A with IGN! The most trusted name in gaming news! Some real hard hitting questions that surely weren't provided by Rockstar.

On a serious note though, I think this will be fine. I don't think it will be as out of control with the alternative currency, but I guess only time will tell.

Not liking how they expect problems with the launch like GTA online, they should have this figured out by now and NOT have issues since they have had atleast 3 years to know the online system they created inside and out.

GTA online was new and them having issues at launch is not surprising with something they have not done beforw Rockstar saying to expect issues with RD online is not acceptable.

IIRC it was mostly freemium style pay to win where you either buy the shit with real money or grind hundreds of hours for it.

That's the problem with optional DLC. The developers design the game to incentivize spending the money, if there is no pay to win option they would make it less grindy.

So i'm wondering how they're going to incorporate GTAO bullshit into Red Dead.

-If you want to customize or upgrade your horse you got to buy a livery.

-To make any money you got to have a stage coach company. To buy that though you have to own a livery first. Grind stagecoach missions to earn a pittance. You can find more money under your couch cushions.

-Earn extra cents by buying a saloon! Only a couple million bucks, but it will provide you more money making opportunities that will take you months just to pay off what you paid to buy it in the first place.

-Get your own Riverboat! It doesn't do anything, but it's only 5 million bucks. Don't forget to take advantage of those Railroad Bond deals.

-Multiple telegrams every day telling you to buy more stuff that will never go away until you do buy everything.

-I'm expecting literal horse armor too except this time it will be defended.

@SSJCAT

They did offer faster cars and armored cars but the ingame money was used to pay for them but it was a grind.

Guns and attachments were very affordable though with the ingame money.

As much as I hate how Rockstar handled GTAO, I can't say I hate the service itself and don't expect RDRO to be fun experience. I'm looking forward to it. Especially considering you can explore alone. I actually preferred playing GTAO by myself with my own character, disconnected from the main storyline.


I loved playing the GTAO world as single player. The only downside was that i made barely any money doing solo missions

Anyone who didn't think they'd want to profit off the billion dollar GTA baby is an idiot. The main game should still be good, but the multiplayer is 100% going to contain all the worst things about online gaming and then improve on making it awful for the consumer.

It's not that anyone thought they wouldn't do this, it's just that we were hoping that they wouldn't.

They made enough money off GTA5, like DMX said stop bein' greedy.

I mean I think its so people are done with the main game and are drawn back into it this time. You put up with the micro transaction reminders because you want to keep experiencing the world

Exactly I barely made any profit soloing missions that any decent upgrade home/car/gun would have taken me too long to justify playing. Not to mention bullshit like only being allowed to chopshop cheapo cars for a little more money but only 1 per 30 minutes or so.

The problem with this is that it's impossible tbh. Think of it like this, when a game first releases online the servers are put under an insane stress test that they simply can't be built to handle. The reason is that for normal purposes a certain level of traffic is what is profitable and building anything higher than that is just a waste of resources and money that they can never get back and will indefinitely waste their money long term.

GTAV may have had all the ongoing focus on online, but the base offline game was already fairly solid, even if not maybe the best GTA title (San Andreas still holds that title IMO).

However, that was before they saw the microtransaction potential. It's anyone's guess how it works out with RDR2. At the very least though, I'm hoping we don't see a total neglect of single-player DLC (and no, a few extra guns that you can't prevent from ending up in your inventory don't count as "single-player DLC").
