Lol well if the media say’s so I guess it must be true.. most of the articles I’ve read about Red Dead Online have been negative from the start. The journo’s errrr, sorry I mean the “Bloggers” that freelance for them have been completely biased. I wonder why this could be...??? in fact many of the “writers” themselves admit they don’t even play the game lol and most of the articles are all copy and paste jobs, so if they aren’t playing where are they getting their info from? The yellow arrow click bait YouTube goof troopers? Come on lol. In every forum I’ve joined, for every new game I’ve played threads like these are common place. Go on YouTube and according to everyone there EVERY new game is dying lol. Player base fluctuate’s. Trends and algorithms my friend 🧐😉 People are still playing and enjoying this game and many others. and there’s lots to do.

Oh so you want to level on easy mode then compete. Ok gotcha 👍

What’s the point of leveling if all you’re going to do is hunt, fish, pick herbs and kill NPC’s?

^This!

I take breaks so I don’t get burnt out. Didn’t play much this weekend but will jump on later today. The only part of the update I have a big issue with is the bounty system (Dripfeed) However I don’t blame R* for this I blame the players that started playing an open world shooter set in the Wild West then complained because they were being shot. I know griefing was/is a problem because I’ve been griefed and even reported players for it. However through that whole situation I could have just left the lobby but we chose to fight back and killed them all (14) and it was fun lol. Now however even if you defend yourself you get a bounty. This is directly the result of complaining so now we are being taxed for playing the game the way it was meant to be played. No matter what R* does the majority will never be happy. This is what happens when a developer caters too much to their player base if all you want to do is hunt or fish I’m pretty sure they make those games too, that aren’t COMPETITIVE shooters. We gave everyone participation awards now nobody knows the value in loosing.

Yeah I’m a sucker for movie scores also. Heres my favourite this plays in my head whenever I’m in Tall Trees.

I listen to a broad range of music depends on the mood or setting I’m in. I would have to say Blues, Classic Rock, Oldies like Jerry Lee and Buddy Holly, Motown R&B, I like some classical I’m not an aficionado though, Opera Pavarotti or Boccelli, 80’s and some 90’s grunge and alt rock. my favourite band since I have to choose is “The Band”.

Thanks for watching. I thought about that putting a cut with a description in to help viewers with progression like a silent film and I am doing this for my next one “The Battle of Rhodes” the story goes somewhat like this... After collecting two bounties in Rhodes Bishop drops in for a visit with his old pal Joe. Joe tells him a gruesome story... Bandits raided a house kill a whole family. Including two teenage girls. Their bodies were dropped down a well on the property. When they were found they were buried under a tree on the property. Joe gives Bishop the bounty on the Bandits and their leader. Tells him to meet a Marshall in Tall trees. Bishop enlists his best friend Monk and they head out teaming up with the Marshal And they eliminate the Bandits and capture the leader and get paid. Bishop feels a connection to the two dead girls which is why he returns to the house at the end I was going with a trailer style format which is why I didn’t but thank you for the input. As for the corpse I believe he is in tall trees at the dilapidated cabins where a bandit camp often spawns. I think it’s NW of Manzanita Post

Hi all I just discovered share factory on ps4. I started making short films that take place in the Red Dead world. This is my first finished piece “Ghosts of Manzanita” have a watch if you like. Hope you enjoy! Thanks

Really I honestly did not know that. Thanks.

Wearing my hunting outfit had to take old school pic

Sounds like you had fun. Have you tried using the scent cover? Might help

Yeah I actually enjoy it when other players interfere it makes it more fun, I don’t even mind if they get aggravated and try and get a kill in after but this was a little overkill. like I said it did end up being fun but only because we overcame the odds. I reported them In game for disruptive behaviour I’m glad they will only get a slap on the wrist but on the other hand I’m sure they’ve done this before to players I hope they don’t continue. thanks

Tonight I did something I never thought I would do I reported not one player but five players. We were in a three man posse doing mail runs 3 separate bags. Myself and one of my crew grabbed two bags and went on our way our third member for some reason went idle so the third bag sat there. so another posse grabbed it and the fight was on. I delivered my bag and took off to intercept the opposing player. Killed him got the bag and took off. my companion was cut down by the 3 other opposing posse members while the one I killed tried to pursue me. I delivered the mail at Emerald Ranch and waited for the inevitable. I took a defensive position and waited a few seconds later this guy and now his other posse members come at me guns blazing. Using a bolt action with my new boom bullets I killed 3 of them my posse mate then came and killed the fourth member. They respawn kill us back. Under other circumstances I would be fine with this but they were successful in stoping us from turning in a bag why the hate? Lol so anyway it went on back and forth for a bit our idle buddy came and helped us and we destroyed these guys. After getting tired of it we tried to skin out. Two of us got out we all went separate ways but our third got caught behind. They killed him twice I turned around but he said don’t bother they were coming towards me so I climbed up to the top of a ridge by the train tracks by Valentine. I readied my Carcano and waited. They turned around and went back for my buddy killed him a few more times. As all this was going on I noticed a lot of player blips suddenly popping up in Valentine. Three of the blips turned red. Not only that there was another 7 with them. Two 7 man posses. These guys called in reinforcements for 3 people. So I reported them. I decided there were too many to take on and asked my team to meet me at the top of the ridge. The army that was now in Valentine assembled in the saloon. Of course they brought Armageddon down on the town and killed everyone. We were going to leave but I said... ”Who’s got dynamite?” my two companions both had dynamite I did not. But I did have a Carcano! so I payed down sniper fire while my two friends went down. They killed the remaining sentries outside and both threw dynamite into the saloon. it was glorious lol they killed 8 of them. We regrouped outside the saloon and continued just destroying this 14 man posse (I’m sure there was some friendly fire on their side that helped too.) They left. So it ended up being fun we came out with the upper hand even though we were so outnumbered but now I almost feel guilty for reporting them. Because even though they were being complete griefers We still had fun, so now I’m kind of worried about what consequences they might face. sorry for the long read I just wanted to describe the situation in proper detail. thanks.

Great name your character looks great as well. I have a question that is off topic sorry. how did you tame the bear? I’ve seen a video on YouTube, how long did it take? Is it still possible to do this? I’ve only tried with wolves and was unsuccessful. ok 3 questions lol thanks

Lol my posse and I just started having issues we tried 3 stranger missions all bugged also blue screen of death a lot today. FOOD BREAK!

Yeah I’ve been eyeing those too.

I could see it being a weapon in an Undead dlc, why not. With all the European settlers in the west I’m sure one or two made it over. I’d like a Garrotte for those stealth missions

What in your opinion is more effective “Bang Sticks” (Dynamite Arrows) or “Boom Bullets”? I’m eventually buying both but what should I get first?

The stranger mission bug has been an on again off again thing for a while now. This used to happen to me a lot in the first month then it stopped and just recently it’s been happening again. As for the hideout bug have you been using the 3 star buck trick?

Still no gambling or hookers? Kind of a let down...

Lol you gave him the ol’di*k Cheney... We all have misfires. The first week of beta release emoting at me usually got you killed, unintentionally of course 😉

This makes total sense. Thanks!

It makes me wonder now if most of the griefing claims are exaggerated a little by lower level players. ”You’re being griefed? And I’m sure you did nothing, right?” Lol Also... I noticed last night that lawmen posse’s seem to have a quicker response time and come in greater numbers now, or was that just me? Anyone else notice this?

Me too. We even sent him a posse invite as I thought hey maybe this is this guys weird way of trying to make friends lol no dice he was like The Terminator without the finish he just kept coming and coming...
