So I should just sit there, shut up and like the fact that R* is 'sitting' on updates, not balancing the game correctly, and not giving a rats ass about what players need in terms of game play? Look dude.. I call as I see it. If you got a problem with that.. then you can either prove me wrong OR ignore me. Because im not gonna just gonna roll over. Im extremely critical of R* for a reason. Because they are capable of much better. Their single player games are testament to that. But how they run online.. Its like its being run by a bunch of board room clowns, Investors and yessssa men. Its like dating girl who at 1st dresses up hot, looks greats, acts amazing. Then after a few weeks stops giving a rats ass about anything and starts wearing the same underwear for months on end. Maybe instead of adding more POINTLESS clothing they can actually do something to improve the damn game. If that doesn't make sense to you.. Then we are on different planets.

Really don't care if its successful. Im talking about how they treat online and its player base.. like a bunch of mindless cattle. Im not here to suck the teeet of R* for treating RD O like the bastard step child of GTA O. I will simply call it out.. They are capable of doing so much more. And we all know it. And whos ever in charge of the ONLINE is the one I blame.

Well.. not that I want to defend Gun/Black Tower.. But R* is rakes in billions of dollars. Gun Media took the few millions from F13th and ran.... And pays a few people clean some sh*t up. R* has things ready.. But doesn't want to pull the trigger. Because they want to string their player base along and drip feed EVERYTHING. Im so ****ing sick it. Its almost like people love to hire these spineless yes 'mens' to do to the most minimal work possible.. Just so a bunch of greasy rich dudes can make more of a profit. R* should be pumping out balance patches ASAP... Hell 6 months ago.. Not waiting for their 'next' updates.. Which, there next update for RD O was ready a long time ago. They just sit on the damn thing and wait. "Durh.. Coming this summer gusy.. durh". Like holy crap.. RD O as of right now. Players are starting to reach explosive levels more and more. Which means, MORE Explosive Arrows and Explosive rounds. And for some magical reason. The game sucks players into a vortex of PVP when any hostile player attacks. You're just stuck in it. And that is the future of RD O.. . R* fetish for explosives and auto aim is was tiresome in GTA O. And guess RDO isn't safe from it either. Many times over the past few weeks.. My friends I where targeted by a high lvl posse.. All explosives all the time.. From both sides. Kill one of them, they just spawn 5 feet away and jump right back in. Can't really get away.. Because of close blips and close spawns. It just keeps going and going and going and going... and BOOM BOOM BOOM.. And I wish I could be more optimistic.. But, then I look at GTA O. "HEY CASINO UPDATE"... And watch that trailer and just laugh. They put more time into making that video then they do in balancing the damn game.

The they get dive bombed by flying bikes with rockets.. Fighter Jets.. Flying Cars.. And Orbital Strikes. Wonders why R* spends more time making hype videos for their GTA O updates instead of actually balancing the game... Wonders why R* "SITS" on RD O updates instead of just ****ing updating the god damn game. R* maybe the most infuriating game devs of all time.

The Safe zone is there for a reason. Just draw them away from that safe zone if you want to fight them... If not, just avoid them. The problem in this case is R* making free roam missions pay better the longer it takes.. Players sit there with their thumbs in their asses, get bored, and then shoot other players.. to stay awake. Nothing in RD O should pay out more money the LONGER it takes.. Its complete BS. Make it a flat rate no matter how long or fast it takes.. And if R* wants to throttle players earning soooo badly for no reason at all.. Then put a stupid ass cool down on starting free roam missions instead. Before wanting things to be 'fixed', always think a few steps ahead (Something even R* has a problem doing) If R* did remove the safe zone areas.. Players would get ganked at the end of their missions. Which would in turn actually give players a real reason to complain about getting griefed. And give griefers a fresh new way of pissing players off.

...RDO is not a MMO.. So im not sure what hiring MMO game devs does for anything. Red Dead is a open world action game. R* simply needs to look at their own history of ONLINE games they have created. And get back to what actually works for the player base. Basically add the basics that have been around since GTA 4 online and remove all the crap that doesn't work. R* could hire me for one day.. I could easily solve many issues in like 5 mins. So basically R* should fire the person in charge of RD O, for being incompetent. And I don't think its fair to say RD O has been out for almost a year. But they way they drag their feet when it comes to updates, it sure feels like it.

I've basically stopped caring about pvp modes a long time ago because of how R* has handled the entire thing. Which is funny because pvp modes in last Red Dead game was my favorite thing to play. Its not just the lack of being able to choose what game modes you want to play. But also the lack of host options, game options and aim choice. The last time I played pvp in this game was the last time for me. Myself and a friend just wanted to play a damn Team Shoot out match. After 2 hours, it never showed up once.

Free Gun Oil?? Time to spend the week splashing around in the water..

Can someone explain what Twitch Prime is. Do people have to pay money? I barely watch Twitch as it is.. I only watch twitch when deciding on games to purchase OR some sort of special event for a specific game. As I really have zero interest in watching other people play games.

Makes me wonder about Wagons and War Wagon in the Future that players can own. As of now.. That War Wagon in that one co-op mission can easily be destroyed with one Dynamite Arrow. The only wagons I love are the One horse wagons.. Things are so fast and wild. I need a one man wagon with a keg filled with snake oil or rum.

If you use Free Aim, auto aim is cheating.. So from my perspective Slippery Bastard removes the cheating. (Which would not be an issue if there was free aim lobbies) Thing is, You don't NEED auto aim. No one does.. You've simply brainwashed yourself into thinking you need it. While the rest of the people use it because if they don't, they will simply be out gunned by players who use auto aim. Its a lose lose situation that can easily be solved. The whole concept of. " I don't use free aim because I suck at"... when people never actually use it enough to get any good at it. Is kind of a self defeating prophecy. I really don't care if they LOCK anything behind certain lobby types. The option to jump between the lobbies would still be there.. Right? This game needs basic lobby options.. Just like previous R* games and other ONLINE games. Basic sh*t.. Free Aim players have no proper lobbies. You think that's fair? Just have the Free AIm players run around in CO-OP missions picking off crumbs while auto aim players destroy everything in seconds? And in pvp constantly guzzling back snake oils for Slippery Bastard to force Free AIm on players? Or having to use stupid Defensive mode to prevent lock on? Can't pick and choose the pvp game modes we want to play.. Think that makes game more enjoyable? You think people like playing a slot machine when joining pvp game modes? Theres ZERO competitive communities. And of course private lobbies.. All of these are a must.. By all means, you can try and prove me wrong.

I've seen many.. many people asking for free aim lobbies. Some have started to give up, and some (like me)… will never stop asking for them. Sure they maybe in the minority, but that minority is a huge chunk of players. Id reckon 30% plus of the current player base, maybe even more. Its not just about PVP. But co-op missions too. The reality is.. The way things are now, forces Free Aim PVP players to guzzle back snake oil non stop to force free aim onto other players with slippery bastard.,. (Which is pretty annoying to keep doing and isn't really fair to auto aim users). Its the reason why I waste all my money on snake oils. I always have 20-20-20 and other tonics packed. And co-op/pve missions. Well, unless players can find like minded free aim players to play with they are stuck with randoms who all use auto aim. And if you have ever played Free Aim with Auto Aim players.. You're lucky to land a few shots/get a few kills. They don't need to focus on hardcore gamers (Which imo free aim has nothing to do with being hardcore, its just the way it should be because auto aim is cheating). But to exclude free aim lobbies and hosting options makes NO sense, because R* has always added these features to their games.

The basics are the basics. And Id bet the farm the majority of players feel the same way. Its got nothing to do with specific things I want.. Its more about what the game needs. And those basic options are things that most online games.. (Including R*) have always had. Besides, I don't think I've seen anyone praise R* for removing the basic lobby/options choices from the game. They are constantly complaining about it.. I just did a quick google search in the past few days to see whos complaining about it.. https://gtaforums.com/topic/930996-should-autoaimers-and-freeaimers-collaborate/ I mean, im all for selling stolen horses too. It would just be a lot more enjoyable in free aim.. (Which is basically what I say to myself everytime R* adds anything to the game)

I stopped using Def Mode and now just rely on Slippery Bastard. Too many times, I've been punished by defensive mode and gotten maximum hostility. A few times.. I've dealt with hostile players who attack me.. And defensive mode was working as intended. Until I killed them a bunch of times and galloped off on my horse. Only to see the same people coming at me but now their blips are normal color. Which means if I attack 1st, I get the punishment. Which just frustrates me.. The last incident that made me drop defensive mode. I just turned on defensive mode (I was on my horse), then some idiot comes riding at me with a Lasso trying to lasso me.. (Of course it doesn't work in defensive mode). But he slams into my horse, his horse dies, he dies.. I get maximum hostility. Now the only time I use defensive mode.. Is if im dealing with one of those players that attack me and then turn on defensive mode. I just sink to their level too..lol

I've read that a while ago.. That article got on my nerves. Some of it was good to hear, the rest wasn't. This is a list of "TO DO" for RD O. Before they start adding more and more.. they need to get the simple basic things out of the way. -Private lobbies for EVERYTHING. - Free Aim lobbies for EVERYTHING. - Hosted PVP game modes with hosting options (Toggle off Dead Eye, Toggle off Inventory/Stash, Time of Day, Weather and of course the ability to choose what what map and game mode is going to be played. - Ability to Choose what pvp modes you want to play. I know I sound like a broken record but, how is this game out of beta without the basics? Last night.. Myself and a friend just wanted to play a simple Team Death Match. After 2 hours.. it never showed up once. On top of that, I end up having to spend every match guzzling snake oil just to keep myself in a Free Aim. Which to be fair, isn't fair to people who want to play with auto aim.

What Dead Eye Ability Card do you have equipped?

As far as 'griefing' goes. The current problem is still auto aim and blips. The blips not showing up at long distance does wonders for avoiding hostile players. Forcing them to actually go out of their way to find people. But in many areas, like towns, players will eventually show up. So this game sort of promotes close range/town griefers. Heres a quick clip showing what I mean. Heres a guy that just mowed down someone outside of a shop. The person who came out pressed charges against him. So, me, being a trouble seeker and hearing all kinds of gun shots down the street. Decided to head on over and see what the fuss is about. As I get close to the area.. My blip shows up to that player, he instantly auto aims at my head. (But im saved by my hat). I instantly turn on Slippery Bastard... Now his auto aim is gone and hes turned into exactly what he is.. A pest who couldn't shoot his way out of a paper bag. So I choke his ass out and stomp his nuggets.. ( And then the cops get angry at me?) As of now.. Im a snake oil addict thanks to lack of Free Aim lobbies. I can get enough of the sh*t, all slippery all the time.

I can't speak for anyone else. But it depends on how it started.. And the how the hostile player escalates or de-escalates it. I've had many cheap shot artists cool off and keep their weapons in their pants after a few deaths. At that point I usually stop targeting them as the fight is over. Im not about to start spawn killing someone whos no longer fighting back. But.. if they keep coming back. As far as my blip going red goes.. The redder the better.

Ya.. that's always useful. Another one is if you're crouching and stopped or slow creeping and press B. And if you have no weapons in your hands, you will instantly ONE hit KO someone with a hard right hook. From behind you'll choke them out. With a weapon in your hand you will slap them and set them up for a shot to the face. From behind you'll grab them and shove a gun to their back.

You can always add me. GT Vooodu. You just point me in a direction and i'll start barking and blasting.. and cracking jokes and one liners.

I myself am always itching for any excuse to dish it out. Because that's the how things work in Red Dead. Theres a huge difference between itching for an excuse to dish it out. And randomly dishing it out to people for no reason.

You have a life? So you have no time to avoid getting killed or defending yourself in Red Dead.. ? You're not taking the fastest way out of anything. You're serving yourself on a silver platter. But hey, you do you buddy.

Of course it would effect me. For example, GTA O had passive mode. And the end result is that the try hards and trolls would use passive as a way to prevent players from killing them, after they themselves killed other players. So you end with passive mode being used as a get out of Jail free card. Well.. that's why we need separate lobbies. Well its Red Dead.. Everyone who bought the game knows its all about Wild West shoot outs.. Sure it can evolve. But its core is Gun Smoke.. Hell, when you start up RDR2.. Theres a gun blast. Game doesn't say "Howdy".

All 3 Red Dead games have centered around wild west gun fights. Its the core of the game. Everything else is secondary.. and expanded from that. You may not like it. But it is what it is. Not sure how it diminishes anything. Its RED DEAD.. The games have people on the cover with a gun. Every problem is started and solved with guns. Its one thing to not like the pvp game mechanics. But you're still blasting NPCS and animals.. You draw the line at pvp. For me, without the pvp, online would be a complete snore fest. Id end up going back to single player for my shoot outs. I don't want passive mode because that will simply be another tool for hostile snakes to use against me. I want complete freedom in public games to kill anyone I want when ever I feel like it. Not because im a griefer... But because I don't want hostile players to be able to bitch out the BS they start. Just like the try hard snakes in GTA O.

The core of this game is centered around wild west gun fights. Its been that way since Red Dead Revolver. In terms of online. Not everyone is a maniac. But, without that ability to shoot anyone anytime 'griefers' feel like it. There would be no BAD guys to get into gun fights with.
