Hey guys! I’m seeing a lot of people asking about the music I used in the video. End song: Isobelle Walton - “Autumn Glow” She has another song in there “Silence is the Key”. Found her on Epidemic Sound, fantastic artist. During the bounty hunter section is a live version of the GOAT Jose Gonzalez’s “Far Away”.

[@Unchainedful]

Red Dead Redemption was never about robbing banks, it was always about what the name says, redemption for your character, to turn from the life of crime. There are a few missions with robbing, but that was never the point of the game. As for robbing banks online, I already knew it wouldn’t be a thing for a long time. GTA 5 didn’t get any bank robberies until damn near their 6th update which was about 2-3 years after GTA Online. If you want to truly enjoy the game, just download a online trainer and play around with mods. I run around playing as different npcs doing crazy stuff, having a blast right now.

Bootlegging missions in New York and Chicago and Miami and shit (Jersey, Boston, DC) (new addictions to the map). I can’t wait for that shit fr fuck gta 6 lol they can hold that. This time period has baseball too Babe Ruth missions. This game will be it and don’t forget that Jack Marston is a writer so that’s a whole other dynamic that can make this a game unlike any other. Every choice you make makes a different boom you get to read at the end. That’s if the game ever ends. I saw what they did with some things changing over time in this game and I fully expect them to take it to the next level in 3. Im talking maybe we see it run from after WWI all the way thru the end of Jacks life to carry the tradition of the first two. That should take us into the 70’s hopefully.

I watched the whole video dude and I subscribed . I tried so badly to support this game and am still trying but I’m losing hope because of the lack of support from rockstar . I remember when they released outlaw pass 5 with no dlc. For 2 years we have had terrible updates. The final good update was moonshiners in 2019. Since then we have had naturalist a really boring role a bounty hunter expansion , an outlaw pass with no content and the boring blood money update . To answer your final question the reason why rockstar screws red dead online is because of gta online. Rockatar released the casino heist and made so much in shark cards from it . They think they can put little effort in red dead online and still milk it when so many players have given up. It’s such a shame. Red dead online is a perfect example of a great game being killed by corporate greed.

[@arnekronvall817]

Yea….. it’s sad…. But that’s how businesses and markets works I’m afraid.

But, rdr2 is a single player game at its finest, and I believe that no matter what rockstar does with rdr online, it’s not gonna beat the story mode. And when most people play rdr 2, they grind the story mode; since it’s much more immersive.

[@angrymonkey2479]

I played online with my friends and we started to lose interest, then there were rumours of robberies and train heists and stuff. My friends didn’t have gta but I did, so this would have been good for both. It then released, and was pretty disappointing, so then my friends bought gta and now we play that instead.

You can buy everything in the game and the problems that plague it would still be there.

idk if i speak for myself here but i only want a rancher role, being a cowboy is the reason i bought this game so it would be cool to add the ability to herd cattle, break horses, produce livestock and sell your livestock. this would be a good opportunity to implement the Outlaw role, being able to rob banks, trains or rob cattle, herd them to the mexican border and sell them. i hope i dont speak for myself when i say these are the two things i really want.

[@DustyOrange]

@@balefire3874 To my knowledge, GTAO Online also suffers from the same kind of issues RDR Online suffers. Long patches of nothing only to get lackluster content that barely entertains people, extremely long and nonsensical grinds to afford an equally nonsensical inflated economy, and a system that doesn't reward fun or efficiency (at least, until recently where you just grind Cayo Perico forever). iirc, Heists weren't released until 2 years after Online launched, and to make money in Online prior to Heists, you had to do boring escort/kill/deliver missions while killing NPCs dropped sub-$100 and finishing the mission too fast would net you 1/8 the money. To get the full amount, you had to kill at least 15 mins. Same as the Bounty Hunter role. Each job would give something around $20k but the best cars cost $1.2 million+ and clothing can cost several thousands to a couple hundred thousands. 8 years and the available content is PVP, variations of essentially the same escort/kill/deliver missions for various NPCs, Twisted Metal but worse, racing, stunt racing, and like 8 unique heists and 8 "mini heists." You can experience most of the content in a week or two, depending on how long you like to grind cash. imo, Rockstar just makes unfun MMOs in general, as its always been a long ass grind for little to no content, and I think the only people who stick around are basically only doing so because of the sunk cost fallacy. Your end game is buying property to basically grab supplies and deliver it to your base, wait like 4-6 hours, then deliver your drugs/guns to the other side of the map in a slow semi-truck and repeat. Basically the Trader role in RDR Online. All to buy the flying motorcycle with missiles or the next multimillion dollar car. tl;dr imo RDR Online is already getting GTA Online levels of support.

I know I am a year late, but a major flaw in RDO is the fact that all of the grind can become circumvented with an injector and script. You can cheat the online-experience for FREE.

That's assuming those same people don't also act malicious and ruin the experience for other people.

The thing that got to me the most when I first played online was when I realized just how many characters that should be alive in the main story at this point weren't there at all. Not even a mention of any one character that had such a huge influence on me. No O'Driscolls, Lemoyne Raiders, Pinkertons, Braithwaites, Chelonians, not even the Wapiti Indians are in online. Those guys had so much life to them that I felt betrayed to see that none of them were there at all. And when they were there, it felt like they were added in just to appeal to whatever new content drop was coming that I would later have to pay for out of pocket due to the absurd price of roles.

I absolutely love RDR2, just finished the story the 3rd time and I couldn't stop myself from starting a 4th playthrough and I'm already blasting through Valentine. Watched Nakey Jakeys video and now stumbled upon your channel and this one, and I couldn't agree more with many of the points both of you are making. The mission design in SP is a bit too strict (as NJ mentions) and some design decisions are weird, and basically everything you're talking about regarding online here is why I haven't played online more than just maybe 10 hours or so. The RDR2 world is so wonderfully crafted and the game has so much potential, and it's heartbreaking that it feels like they kind of half-assed a lot of the content and seemingly now all work on GTA6. I for one am desperately hoping for either RDR3 or a remaster/remake of the original game (hopefully released on PC). Good video Jack, really enjoy your content :)

I'm okay with Trader tbh, as it's more of a slower paced distraction with the focus on hunting. Only do long deliveries with friends, and even then they're boring.

One of the largest things in GTA online, one that keeps people playing to this day is heists.

Heists would add a whole lot of content and bring a lot of people back, myself included.

[@Kerthil]

They even did this in the single player in a small scale. Cornwall's train - you find the info, dynamite, Dutch plans it and you execute. Train in the Scarlett Meadows - John thinks about the plan, you get the oil wagon and then you execute the job. Last train job - first you get the dynamite with Bill, next blow the bridge and in the end rob this train. To be honest the only thing that I like in GTAO is heists with all this work you put as a team to make it.

Holy shit man, that lawman role sounds amazing it makes me so depressed that rockstar are such money suckers that they'd never add it, but keep up the good work, you just got a subscriber.

[@slopcrusher3482]

You can tell that the actual designers of the game wanted to make an amazing game, but the corporate side of RDR2 forced them to add in the money side. The single player campaign allowed the designers to make the game the wanted. The single player is amazing. Now, with the multiplayer, it’s very obvious it was rushed out. High inflation and little to do killed online before it could even start. The role-playing DLC side of things was an obvious attempt to revive the online mode by the designers, but having to pay gold, or real money, to play those roles absolutely neutered it. The only thing corporate rockstar has done to try and fix this is just give a shit ton of handouts. That doesn’t help whatsoever. The inflation is still there, and it’s still impossible to farm a small amount of gold. I had fun playing the online free roam and the online games, but that can only last so long.

[@MelancholyWesley]

I got back into Red Dead this time on PC. Can say Online is an absolute shit show with modders and bugs. Such a shame they gave up on this game and are still updating GTA Online

[@smolvampirelady]

I used to spend ALL of my free time in this game back in late 2019 and early 2020. I would just spend all day hunting animals, grinding bounties, collecting trinkets, doing the daily challenges (before they ruined streaks) and just in general exploring the world because it's so pretty. I usually played it alone and it was an oddly relaxing method of escapism (I was going through some serious health issues at the time and also stressed about applying for graduate schools). I branched out and actually started socializing with other people in the community and it truly morphed into a second life for me where I got to throw parties at my moonshine bar once a month with anyone in the community who felt like showing up. It was so much fun to laugh and talk to people while our characters were busy getting drunk and stumbling through the bar. I stopped playing because I got accepted into graduate school (woo), which meant I had to move across the country and leave behind the console I was using to play the game. It makes me sad that Rockstar had such a great opportunity with this world and... did nothing with it. Instead, they ruined the experience for the handful of players that actually kept logging in every day. There's so much potential with the game, if only they wouldn't try to force it into a cash cow (by making it extremely difficult to get the gold needed to progress) without giving people a single incentive (content) to spend real money.

That's because Rockstar is still an amazing company rdr2 is an example of what Rockstar actually is.

the passion that was put into rdo’s world building is definitely there. the scenery, the weather changes, everything about the base world itself. it’s all so amazing. the fact that whether your honor changes depending on if you put an animal you injured out of its misery or let it bleed out to death? I love that small feature, it adds so much life into this game. but with all this new stuff that has come out in rdo, it’s like rockstar, when they DO do something for rdo, they focus on the lifeless, expensive, boring aspects of the world. you already built a base for the fun, lively aspects of the world- why not build on them and expand? it makes no sense to me. everything you said and all the points you made are very validated, needed things. every bad aspect of the game you brought up was something that needed to be brought up, and you gave an explanation why without just shitting on that aspect and the rest of the game for 22 minutes. you definitely deserve a sub and 200k more. 🤝

Me and my friends had a lot of fun with RDR Online, using tricks for better rewards like the daily missions, waiting for mission timers and doing the collector runs with the cheat map for hours at a time just talking, and then goofing around and buying clothes between our grinding. But it only lasted for a while before it dried up so we quit. We tried to return for the blood money missions. We did one, laughed about the fact that they added another currency and how the mission was just a copy paste thing and then we all left and we haven't played it since...

I don’t care what people say about griefing, watching 5 other naked dudes beat the crap out of someone with a shotgun with fire shells with their bare fists will never get old. Hell even running from bigger groups felt fun, because it felt we were “on the run” But we play it less and less because there’s just not anything to do anymore. We’ve sucked the game dry when it comes to making your own fun, finished the main story 2 years ago, and have all upgrades for all roles with gold we earned through daily challenges. This game had so much potential and after the rerelease of the bounty role, I realized rockstar is too far gone. I refuse to buy anything from them again until they bring the love they put into the single player and inject it into the online mode. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

My biggest issue with the game remains the timer in missions. It absolutely kills the vibe and immersion when you have a game that is so masterful at creating atmosphere and so fantastically captivating, and you just end up constantly checking a meta timer to see if you're playing the game too quick or too slow. It shouldn't matter if I wanna take the mission slow and immerse myself in the mood, or if I wanna rush through it like a gun slinging action hero. It's especially frustrating because the singleplayer allowed for some very slow pace in gameplay, which I always found to be a very strong suit of the game, and it often was what sucked me into it. Yet in online you're both rushed, simply by the existence of a timer that's constantly ticking down, as well as forced to go slow, because that means mission rewards are higher. It simply kills any kind of immersion, and to me, the immersion is one of the most important parts of a Rockstar game, and Red Dead 2 is the game that is both doing it the best as well as relying on it the most.

[@PIRATE99A]

The timer is especially retarded because you actually make more money if you take longer. Me and the crew end up chilling for 5-10 minutes two meters from the end of the mission to get an extra 100$ Bad for gameplay man.
