IMO the only business that's missing is a good ol fashion whore house to run. Other then that, this business thing is getting pretty played out. They are basically copying GTA O. Game needs outlaw stuff. Robberies. etc. Its kind of sad that the only bank robbery in the game. (Which is a really fun co-op mission) is almost a joke due to how R* has all the payouts in this game connected to timers. Just doing the bank robbery mission a few days ago with some randoms. Auto aim makes it toooo easy. The bank robbery mission is over in a few mins. We all get paid $14. $14... after robbing a bank. Other than outlaw stuff. Id rather R* polish the game up instead of adding more sh*t. And finally add private/free aim lobbies. OR they need to make these public severs hold every player who plays RD O. If R*s excuse for not adding private and free aim servers is 'splitting the player base'. Then clearly public lobbies need to hold every play who plays RD O.

R* is the biggest game dev on the damn planet, raking in billions. Are they paying a few drunk monkeys to fix the games issues? How long do people have to wait? Most of the game issues are solved in solo lobbies. Hence private lobbies would do perfectly till they fix the issues. There's smaller game devs out there that put out more update and fixes to their games than R* does. And my point about clothing is. Clothing is the least important thing about Red Dead.

Not sure what the owl has to do with anything. But I bet that owl could do a better job running RD O. Any idiot can run RD O better then whos currently in charge.

Lag + Auto aim Auto aim should not exist.. Especially in pvp. But R* thinks auto aim is 'cool'. So everyones stuck with it. Lag is also another issue. You may have the best internet speed possible. The other guy might be on some shitty WIFI. What you described about instant head shots while not aiming at you is lag. Also.. shooting from cover allows for instant tight aim. So factor in all those things. And you get your answer.

And because of R* choice to not giving players options to play the game. This games popularity has suffered. Free aim lobbies and private lobbies are the most requested features. Two things that should have been there since launch. R* says they want feed back... well? On top of that.. Free aim is not just about pvp. So I don't see these free aim pvp modes as a good thing. It would be the same as if the game was all free aim and R* added ONE special auto aim aim pvp mode every few weeks in rotation. Whats the point? Also private lobbies.. The game itself simply runs better with less players. As of now, getting stuck in a solo lobby is seen as a gift. Gang hides outs spawning, stranger missions everywhere, animals spawn like crazy. And of course private pvp lobbies with host options, would have helped build a healthy pvp community of players. Which as of right now. Does not exist. R* probably play tests everything in their own private lobbies with a handful of employees at a time. Which is why this game probably runs so good with only a handful of players in the lobbies. But the cycle of R* only really adding fixes with content updates. And then not doing jack sh*t till the next update is getting tiresome. Since they don't communicate, are players supposed to wait till March for animals fixes? And if they still doesn't fix it, maybe till Aug or Sept? And instead of addressing the issues. R* keeps adding more clothing, discounts and blah blah blah Twitch Prime. (Which im pretty sure no one watches RD O on twitch prime..(Reasons being what I listed at the start of the my post) As of now.. the most fun I have is playing Bountys and Shine Missions. I can play with free aim, I can play solo.. and theres animals everywhere.

Funny thing is, I was just guessing.

Funny that I predicted in the other topic, that instead of fixing issues and improving anything. They would just add more clothing and a new pvp mode. The ****ING ANIMALS!!!! WTF This is getting tiresome. Whats the point of these damn 'Free Aim' pvp modes, treating them like special pvp modes. There needs to be a FLAT OUT FREE AIM mode for everything, especially FREE ROAM. And if R* wants players to even remotely care about pvp modes, they need HOSTED lobbies with options.. with private lobby options. PVP in RD O could be extremely popular, if they stopped treating it like they do. And the role playing players need private lobbies. And at this point, theres enough clothing in this game to last for years. *Hudawg still beating the dead horse? Nope, im still waiting for the horse to wake up..:D

Players be like "FIX YOUR GAME"! "Improve what you have". R* be like "Heres some new hats, clothing and a new pvp game mode".

Nothing will probably done by R*. Xbox or PS will punish people if you report a private msg. In game chat is harder to deal with, mostly because theres no way to prove what people have said. Not sure how it works on PC. I highly advise you and you wife to learn to ignore BS from randoms. Mute people, leave/find a new game, change chat settings. Since the type of behavior you talked about happens all the time. Theres no reason to get upset about it. Myself, and most of the friends I play with have basically become immune to it. I mean, not for nothing. But I don't take little shits on a video game talking smack seriously. Especially considering that in real life, id probably kick their asses with one hand tied behind my back. You think its bad now.. Wait till you start fighting back and they start to really get angry. Remember the people talking sh*t, are doing it to get under your skin. Your wife 'crying' and taking it seriously gives them what they wanted.

Your camp your rules. I personally would not shoot someone for entering my camps and doing emotes. If they start shooting things in my camp, then I would shoot them. Because I usually only hang out at my camp when rolling doobs or cooking sh*t. Either way, im usually baked at my camp, and emotes are not really a threat. Loud gun shots going off non stop.. Or if they kept pointing their guns at me. That would drive me nuts, and I would have to re-act to it. Wasting dynamite arrows on lvl 15 tho.. That's a huge no for me. Id rather just fist fight them or bola/hot tie them.

The great famine is upon us. People are living off food handouts from R*. Newbies are in the hills feasting on Raven meat. The end is nigh!

Wow.. R* even included auto aim on PC? What the ****?

I've made barely anything. 90% of the time. I just get hung up on a black loading screen and have to restart my game. Before, a black screen would mean "SOLO LOBBY FUN TIME". Now, since R* "FIXED" that. Nothing happens, the game prevents the solo lobby from starting and just keeps me stuck in a load screen foreeeeeeeeeeeever.

This topic should be sticky'd on the front page of this forum. This is not a trouble shooting issue. This is R* being lazy and not fixing anything and at the same time giving players no ****ing options to work around it. I feel at this point. The only way to get R* to do anything is to get popular content creator on YouTube OR other video game sites to cover R*s BS. They rail on Fallout 76 all the time. Its R* turn. to get grilled. WHERE THE **** IS THE ****ING PRIVATE LOBBIES!>!>!? Theres zero reason as to why private lobbies and pure free aim lobbies don't exist. Not one reason what so ever.

Anyone whos missing animals... Guess one current work around is starting legendary bounties..and just ignoring the bounty. You then get a living world to play in. Its basically a private lobby lite version. Spent a few hours doing that last night. Myself and few friends ended up filling our hunting wagons up.

Game runs amazing with no one it. If only R* allowed lobby option. Players could play in private lobbies till R* get their sh*t together. This game is an empty husk in packed lobbies.

IMO this update is not the best for making money or unlocks.. But in terms of fun, its probably the best so far. The Option to play on a hard difficulty for missions with no enemy blips and no auto aim is so much fun.. They need to add this option to everything. God, this game is so good with free aim and no npc blips. This how I know im not crazy when I rail on R* about their shitty forced auto aim. Because everytime I get a sniff of what the game should be, its AWESOME. Playing with the instruments is hours of non sober fun. I can't believe how much time flies screwing around with it. Getting sh*t faced drunk and getting into slap fights with people is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Don't think I've laughed so hard in a game in a long time.

A few good things.. Slippery Bastard now works against PIB. No more tonic chugging during dead eye or after getting shot. Balances out the BS slightly. R* not adding photo mode and story mode content/guns to Xbox is complete bullsh*t. Its on PC, so its not 'exclusive content'. It makes no sense.

. Hoping they release the patch update notes soon to get full details on everything. If this puts an end to T1000 cowboy mode that would be a good thing. Haven't jumped on yet to see the actual changes.

Well, if the person who was shooting you was lagging with syncing issues. You wouldn't know if he was shooting you. On his screen he shot you, your guy is screaming and burning. On your screen, he didn't shoot you. So the guy shooting you would think "WTF is going on?". And you would be like. 'WTF are you talking about?' Let me put it like this. Last update I was testing bullet damage on a friend. I told him to stand on certain rock at about 50 yards out. He didn't really move. For 2 mins I kept telling him. "Dude, get on the rock".. And he says "Im on the ROCK". He sends me a screen shot of himself on the rock. But on my screen hes about 10 yards away from me.

Well I really don't care about the griefers so much. I don't think I've ever complained about them, infact I usually defend griefers. Hell, theres been few times I've almost went full heal and turned griefer. Figure the best way to get people to jump on R* support and request game changes is to 'grief' everyone in the most evil way possible. I haven't done that yet.. But I can see the day coming. Anyways.. Todays the day. So.. here we gOooOo!

I know what this is.. And its two things. 1.) He's using the tank build, with gold cores and tonics. As you know, allows him to take massive amounts of damage. 2.) The connection between you and him is weak and is causing syncing issues. (This can happen in all R* online games) So this means that you're both kind of living in your own time line. Where you both see different things happening on your screen.s You might be blasting him, while hes falling down. On his screen, you're not shooting and hes drinking tonics. So the tank build, with the gold cores and tonics combined with the syncing issues. Means to you, it seems like hes taking a massive amount of damage.

If you played with me, you'll notice that its not from a point of frustration. Its more from a point of just telling it how it is. This game could be so much better if R* tweaked the little things. I don't look at it from a 'once in a blue moon'. I look at it from the perspective of, it can happen, so it will happen, so someone should fix it. My frustration is with R* not doing their jobs and ignoring the player base. Simple little things that they could fix/balance out anytime they want with little effort that they completely ignore (Sometimes for months on end, and in terms of GTA for years) I mean, I love the last major update that added the roles. But when NPCS are no longer a threat and PVP turns into players acting like T1000's it diminishes the excitement, fun and any sort of challenge in terms of game play. R* has a habbit throwing more fuel into the fire instead of actually controlling the fire. NPCS too easy? Instead of balancing the game play R* will add more NPCS with more insane spawn mechanics. Its a backwards way of doing things.

Im not whining about anything.. Im telling how it is. Are we not playing the same game? You gonna sit there and tell me that this game isn't joke in terms of unabalanced ability cards, tonics, explosive rounds and auto aim? Most people will agree with me in seconds. Its people who thinks its perfect as is, that is the minority.

Balanced/Fun game play mechanics with exciting new content... is better than Unbalanced/absurd game play mechanics with 'exciting new content'. Am I wrong?
