I seriously just do not get it.
You (Rockstar, I know... no rockies here) create this "large" map for foks to go online on... and then you limit on what ppl can do there. You make "roles" such as moonshiner, collector, bounty hunter, trader (let's call that hunter right?). But it ends there. Nothing besides these roles you purchase for 15 gold... exists. I mean hey... I'm a 48 year old male portraying to be a 18 year old girl. But you can only see that when I have you at gun point, or you just killed me.
But I am a roleplayer. You know the first thing I went to check out in both story and online... whilst being an hardcore atheist... is if any of the churches were accessible. Seriously Rockstar? We are talking 1899-sum... and at no time in the day is there a church service ever available,.,.. ... ever? No church can be entered! What were you thinking? I was seriously hoping for some priest to tell me about doom and daisies. But no,... no church is ever open ever.
And then the clothes. I may seriously be called an online crossdresser. In every game I play,... when I have the change... I play girls. When I want to relax and play a game, I also want something pretty to look at. Miss pacman did not do it for me. But I surely played Laura Croft, with her first edition pointy pyramids of boobs. (Btw, I also played Larry Laffer with Passionated Patty!)
So RDO is a western game. Did rockstar devs ever watch westerns? The female character... she mostly is a victim of some sorts... raped by natives or bandits... but the female main in any western movie... wears white. White is an indication of purity an innocence. Not racially mind you,... but religiously,... Catholicism. And in many cultures too..., white is considered "pure". So then strikes me, when you can create a character of 18 (sweet young) years and up... that they have nothing at all to wear that may show them, to be sweet innocent and god loving... in a western rockstar world.
Most of the female stuff is pure trailer trash wear. Did rockstar even consult a period fashion designer? Wat? Was that outta-budget?
So I just do not get it. So much space and potential. All wasted on... pure pvp... Which does not work anyway. Ha yes did I mention I am a solo player? Joining "The Dandies"... waiting for an hour for other players to join up. Seriously.. FO ROCKSTAR. Thank you for reminding me why I never bothered with GTA online. Same ****ing issues. Rockstar makes this whole incredible world of intertaction... yet misses out on the (roleplayt potential) interaction. .,.. And misses out completely.
I wish I could jump ahead ten years,... when games actually allow you to do 100 times more then games allow you to do now. Which is little to sh*t.
