D3x Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Quote 1850s By the mid-1800s, charreada-style competition became popular in the Southwest, particularly in Texas and California where Mexican and Anglo ranch hands worked together. In 1852, the Lone Star Fair held in Corpus Christi, Texas, became the first-ever Anglo-American organized event to host a charreada-style bull fighting. Don Camarena, a matador from Mexico City, headlined the event. Jaripeo was featured as a secondary event, but was so popular that it made newspaper headlines as far away as New Orleans. During this time, Wild West shows also began adding steer riding to their acts, as steers were far easier to handle than bulls. source So knowing that it was a thing back then in the south, you think we will have an online mode to play this? Like legit rodeo, we can do against other players for in-game money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSpeek Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I can see them doing something like this just for another fun thing to do online. There aren't as many things you can realistically do in comparison to GTA V which was set in modern times. I would have fun with this myself.

Archbell Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Cool idea dude, I wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar decided to incorporate something like this into Red Dead Online but I also wouldn't be surprised if they drop Red Dead Online with just the basic/standard game modes at first and something like this is added later as DLC similar to how they slowly added game modes to GTA Online. Including a game mode like this wouldn't be too difficult for Rockstar, they included a job in most towns in Red Dead Redemption where you broke wild horses for cash so making an online rodeo with a few extra activities wouldn't be such a stretch.

YellowDragon Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Like Archbell said, they will have stuff like this but it will be added in slowly. It makes the most sense when you want to keep a game lively and feeling fresh. Think of all the other games out there that gave you most of what the game was up front and very little after. People get bored and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YodaMan 3D Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would think this would become a great idea. Horse racing. Liar's Dice. Poker. There could be lots' of side stuff that could be carried over from RDR, that could entertain in RDR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCr0ss Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I mean if we get a rodeo, may as well have cow branding! That would be hilarious. Or maybe that is just my sick sense of humor bleeding through. I like the rodeo thing though. Hope they add something like this in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when you consider the number of random play modes and mini-games in GTA Online, you have to figure they will be getting creative with this one. I can see them doing some wacky stuff but also some true to the time stuff like branding and rodeos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BropolloCreed79 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This would be a great candidate for a global event that could be rotated on a temporary basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they would out a rotation for it? Just curious what you are thinking on it. I like the idea of it being a thing online. The mini-games and things where players can mess around help keep the community alive and thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they have advanced marketing research and analytics that will provide better data to plan from, but if it where me, once a month, there'd be a unique event (both online and offline) that would have special quests and rewards available for a week. It could be a rodeo coming to town. Or a circus. A snake oil salesmen could ride up on a wagon and start hawking his miracle cure. There could be a train robbery, or robbing a stagecoach. Stealing a car. The point is, they have a lot of leeway to make monthly events big or small, and provide fun cosmetic rewards to keep players engaged. Elder Scrolls Online does a terrific job with this, as does The Division. I'm not saying that RDR2 hs to mimic either of these systems, but they provide two different examples of getting limited time events "right".

Just about every big event, takes 2 days for their servers to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I'm also looking at it from the comparison to the issues with F13. By comparison, TD is practically flawless (hyperbole, but still...)

riptide87 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I am all for new things being added. They are a lot more limited in comparison to GTA Online so my guess is this either will be a thing or will likely be discussed for the future. I think they intend on adding things over time to keep people keen and interested in playing online for at least 3 or 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Cactus Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hell I have seen enough of these on shows and in movies to say it would be fun! Here is to hoping they add this in and similar game modes. GTA V had more to work with as it was a modernized game so they have to really pull out the stops for this one.
