i will never forgive rockstar for how shitty they treated us and this game. i cannot fathom why they would abandon their best title to DATE in favor for a 10 year old game. what’s more frustrating, is how they didn’t even give RDO the time it needed to grow just like GTAO did. rockstar isn’t the same company they used to be and it’s sad. they created an absolute MASTERPIECE to just abandon it like it’s nothing. fuck rockstar.

[@omglol8425]

You can’t put all the blame on rockstar though. Take2 pulled most of the people working on RDO to work on gta6 because people were bitching about it not being out yet. Idk though

[@styxtx4099]

The brains behind RDR2 and RDO all left and the new people had no idea how to keep it going. Just about all the updates the last year or so were created by the people who were no longer there.

[@kevin9232]

styxtx4099 provides an answer of which I am not aware, but if GTAO which is +10 years old is prioritized over RDO, it is because it brings in more money, because yes, the GTAO universe has more possibility for creates new things, in a recent/future universe, that RDO has from an ancient era, is more limited option. But even if I understand this aspect of financial return, I am of the same opinion that the game was not exploited to the maximum and that it is a waste

Y'all forget Rockstar's current baby is GTA6 which is supposed to come out next year... Most of 2024 is over if you hadn't noticed. Considering the resources they put into game development, I'd be surprised if the whole studio isn't working on GTA6 right now and feeling the pressure of looming deadlines.

[@Tofi_ytchannel]

It's actually pretty understandable how it happened. - Rockstar got massive backlash for excessive crunch time during the development of RDR2 - they couldn't enforce crunch culture any longer after 2018, during the development of GTA VI - COVID in 2020-2021 further forced companies including Rockstar to reorganize work in less effective ways than before - which coincided with Dan Houser, the heart and soul of the RDR2 project, leaving the company in March 2020 - nearing 2023, the pressure from investors to release GTA VI became heavier as the 10-year anniversary of GTA V was getting close without even an announcement about the sequel game. All these put together makes the story of RDO's rapid and undeserved decline much more understandable from Rockstar's aspect, even though it doesn't make it any less sad from the aspect of gamers and fans.

I bet if R* communicated with there player base saying hold up guys where in trouble the players would understand , yet they gave us nothing at all in fact we got a big old "F@CK YOU PLAYERS WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR TIME AND EFFORT" they new all the time players where unhappy and just gave them the middle finger. Also why did they change the dailies ??? nothing more than greed to get new players to buy gold ....F@CK R* what they did was criminal driven by greed nothing else !!!!!!!

If you have only one, inactive friend in your friend list, you could run game for one, and simply have fun in missions, that doesn't require more than one player (like most criminal organization or biker missions), and do not contact cheaters and no-lifers, who shoot you with flying bikes.

[@High-Tech-Geek]

A lot of PC players didn't buy on Steam when it finally came out in 2019 because Rockstar added bonuses if you bought it through the Rockstar Launcher. I got free copies of LA Noire and Bully. Also, I finally got my 2 nieces to buy the game and they are loving Story Mode right now (they did buy through Steam). We are all joining an RP server too through RedM.

[@OmarGarcia-jq2hh]

I tried playing it today for the first time (I’ve been thinking about playing online for quite some time after I finished the campaign but I’ve been hesitant of other players just randomly killing me) I decide to give it a shot today and convinced my brother to join up. Online was on sale so he only spent $10 which honestly a good price for a new game to be play. As soon as we got in the game and finished the intro of online, we met up and before we could depart from Black water, some guy comes up to us and just blasts us till we’re dead. Tried fighting back but two new players against a player who’s probably played the game longer it seems like a lose fight. I got two kills and decided to get away since I wanted no part of toxicity. My brother and I went to Rhodes where we encountered the player again but this time brought 2 other friends of his and tried killing us but thankfully I was inside the general store so I didn’t have to deal with him. Tried to join another server and he would just follow me while texting me that I’m trash or that he’s having fun killing me. Let’s just say my brother refunded the game and I’m just not gonna touch it again because it’s already bad enough you can’t go on a private lobby like gta if you want to grind. I’ll just stick to gta until gta 6 comes out…

[@Plastic329]

My husband is a programmer, their management really likes to promise a lot of things to their clients, and then the workers have to work for months without days off and with 5 hours of sleep to make at least half of what was promised by the required date. Rock Star announced GTA6, I think they have the same rush job there, so all the developers were transferred to GTA6 to at least make it by the appointed year of release. There are also problems that many cannot withstand such a pace of work and quit, and in their place either no one is hired at all, or it takes a long time to hire, or inexperienced people are hired. As a result, the deadlines are shifted terribly and just each person in the company is only engaged in the main task, and all secondary tasks, even if they are also important, are discarded "until better times". The only thing that pisses me off in RDO PC is the cheaters: besides the fact that they mock, it is also impossible to play in the confrontations, because these idiots teleport where they need, or you can’t destroy them, or they have cheating ammunition, these confrontations are not interesting at all; and also in the fights in free mode: if you defeat them, they immediately have an infinite life. And there are a lot of such players. Why nothing has been done about this in 6 years is the biggest question for me, because it is definitely not explained by the lack of developers. There is monotony in the game, but I am that kind of person who will not get bored even within 4 walls.

Rockstar: you speak as if killing is something I cared about Players: you ever wonder about the player base, you should Rockstar: i hope it's broke and terrible otherwise I'll feel as though i've been sold a false bill of goods, now please give me that GTAO money Rockstar: either you got a lazy eye or a lack of respect, which is it boy. True Fan: I ain't got no lazy eye nor respect for the likes of you Rockstar: well maybe when the players are finished morning RDO, i'll keep RD1 in black on your behalf, you think on that boy True fan: well maybe you shall rockstar, and maybe other events will transpire Rockstar: you best stick to them old games because mark my words vengeance is an idiots game

I put up with a lot of glitches to play on PC, but now, nothing spawns in pretty much permanently. No animals, no human NPCs, and nothing at all fixes it. This is the single reason I stopped. I can't afford PS+, which is what I used to play on, but at least PC was just a one-time purchase. It breaks my heart. I loved this game hard, and I was def in the "horse girl" category of player. Anybody who's been around at all knows that we'll put up with a LOT to play a decent horse game, and this one was the top of the line. Thanks for the summary Cat, happy trails ✌

[@thedogoffaleash]

RIP. This game was special. It got me through a breakup. It got me and the boys through the pandemic. We were a gang to be feared at the end of our run, and I had started it all solo, grinding away at my fake cowboy life, before slowly pulling in my friends one by one and helping everyone go from a nobody to an outlaw legend. So many organic moments that will stick with me forever. I started alone in ragged clothes with nothing. I was fresh off an IRL breakup, and needed a game to occupy my mind. I wanted to be a cowboy. I clawed my way up the ladder buying guns and the red leather jacket I had been eyeing since I started, which became my signature look, and I finally felt like I was more than a nobody, but a gunslinger. I finally earned enough gold to become a bounty hunter to earn even more gold, and eventually started my trading business and hunted for hours to finally get a full delivery, promised rewards of HUNDREDS of dollars like I had never seen... only for it to be stolen by outlaw players. I raged then, but now I look back fondly, because that's when I convinced my friend to buy the game, secretly so I could turn him into an employee, a hired gun. I became rich and powerful off my new "henchman" until he realized how much I had profited off his work compared to him. What I had hardly noticed was that he had already gone from shabby clothes to a sharp jacket and pristine new weapons... he had himself become a real cowboy. To avoid a duel between us, I promised him he could be just like me, we just needed more "employees"... so we convinced two more friends to play. "Yeah. You should buy it," my friend told them on our discord. "It's pretty fun," he said with sinister intent, but he wasn't lying. Eventually our gang was 5 men strong, and each new hire climbed the ranks exponentially faster than the last; we had multiple business empires within our gang and money flowed like water. The game was updating every week, and we had daily streaks in the hundreds of days. We were SO LOCKED IN that if we couldn't log in for a daily, I would call my roommate (and fellow outlaw) to do a challenge *for me*. The pandemic hit around the time my 3rd and 4th friends joined, and we used the game as our "outside simulator" we joked. I know I'm just rambling at this point. This game was just something unlike anything else I've ever played, and I had already been a GTA:O player for years. RDO was just so much closer to what I wanted GTA Online to be, and it was even more than that. It's seriously sad the way things went down.

I played RDO once about a year ago, I was a bit late to get the game (big regret, this game is just awesome). I was in the game for maybe a half hour, did the tutorial stuff, and ventured into the world, and was immediately was harassed by a group of assholes. They clearly had been playing for a while, had good guns and horses, and I'm a newbie, and they just kept harassing and being dicks to the point I left and never went back. RDO is kept alive by the fans, and it was ruined by those same fans

[@knightingale9833]

Sorry to hear that. If you ever decide to play again, put on defensive mode and stay away from the towns. Other players are easy to avoid for the most part

[@avenguard9503]

@knightingale9833 I see what your saying, but then what's the point? The purpose was to be able to engage with other players and have fun as a community, unfortunately people are toxic assholes who belive fun should come at another expense. I heard mention in the video about private servers, and that sounds way like an option, but then your out the community aspect. Honestly, people just need to learn to stop being pieces of shit to one another and this world would be better off.
