For those of you doing the online thing, Rockstar has announced that it won't be resetting player progress during the beta...……...anytime soon.

Public Service Announcement:
For all you buckaroos and outlaws who have not yet to venture online, you are going to miss out on some free stuff money.
In light of the recent hiccups to online since launch, primarily the economy, Rockstar is going to give players $250 and 15 gold bars which should go out today and be settled tomorrow. Only catch is you gotta log-in to online mode by Midnight pacific time to get in on it.
To those who have already bought guns from the catalogue or gunsmiths, prices have been lowered on most guns and the difference should be back into your wallet by December 10th.
Maybe we should form a posse eventually? I'm ps4

Won't be seeing me online anytime soon.
Only ran through the introduction just so I can get that free stuff.
I haven't received my gold/cash yet. Just insured my horse Arabian horse though.
I got the gun from the fence and the grizzly outfit but the saddle never came :|
and after I had that typed up, the gator saddle showed up. magic
You not finish the story yet or taking a break?

Still crawling through the story. Good god, they weren't lying saying it was a long campaign. Add in all the stuff I've been doing on the side, taking longer. After like 10 visits to the hunting ground I finally got the Bull Gator to appear.
Trying to finish the story then put it down. God AC: Odyssey and Darksiders 3 downloaded and ready to be played.
Bull gator appeared right away for me and he was surprisingly easy to put down. Now I'm working through the Master Hunter ranks to kill what is supposed to be the hardest animal in the game. I still need to do the New Austin area legendary animals.
Regarding online...not a fan of the camp system at all.
I'd rather have a saloon room to rent that's static...eventually a prefab cabin.
They need to get gambling in soon, too.

R* are claiming they are fixing the online economy and balancing issues amongst other things, but still, why would they put the online beta out as it is? A can of beans shouldn't cost more than a fucking gold ring. It also shouldn't take as long as it reportedly does to earn just 1 gold bar.
you are beyond stupid

There's going to be gambling??
That will be sick
I started playing the campaign mode. Just now skinned the deer so I'm clearly not very far into it at all.
Played online too. I did the horse mission. Do you start to see people in the open world in between missions or no? Is it because it's in Beta? Just confused as to how that works out

It's PVP in free roam. You can mess with people doing side quests.

Finished of epilogue 2 yesterday and jumped online to give that a try. So far the only annoying thing I'm finding with online is when you try moving camps it doesn't always move it to the one you selected and paid for. I know it's still beta but come on.
The online missions are paying reallllly well right now. I'd suggest everyone do them and pick up a Varmint Rifle and then a Bolt-Action Rifle after you get horse insurance on the special Arabian horse (ps4) before you customize your horse, buy clothing, etc.

Why a Varmit rifle? It's one of the weaker ones in the game as the name suggests. There's even story-mode challenges to kill animals with it because it sucks.

Clean kills if you're looking to skin smaller animals for any missions you may have to do.

It has a really high fire rate. If you're good at head shots you can take out a whole posse in seconds.

Even with the lower damage. Interesting.
Yeah, I meant purely for hunting but that's also good to know.

One hell of a game regardless.

No. I steadfastly stand behind my point. Rockstar should never have allowed ANY version of the online component, beta or not, to be released in the state it was released in. Ya know, lest it look like they're aspiring to become the next EA Games?
And speaking of betas...to think, I spent 5 minutes of my time responding to the two biggest ones here because they have no common sense. :nono:

Surprisingly, I logged in anyway when I got home this morning and the money showed up. Neat.
... but the Fortuna expansion for Warframe also dropped on console today, so I was kinda busy there.

Tangentially related to this: what the fuck happened to the term "beta"? I mean, the last time I remember a public test executed correctly was for the multiplayer component of Halo: Reach that was so far ahead of the finished product, that the beta was actually running under Halo 3's engine. They got feedback well in advance and was able to tweak one particular gameplay type (invasion) multiple times before it was even near its final form in retail.
Ever since then, it seemed like, true to form, other companies (and Bungie themselves) learned "the wrong lesson" on how popular that was on leading to game sales and now everyone is offering "beta" access, which just means either getting to play it a little bit early or just a band-aid on an unfinshed mess that you supposedly have no right to complain about because "it's totally in beta, guys". It isn't to stress test the game under normal, outside world player conditions or see how your servers can hold up, it's a marketing ploy.

The end.
Finally...……...fucking...……….finished.
Came in at just over 91% total completion.
I want to get to dishonorable in online (without visiting Old Man Jones and spending the 3 gold bars) but fuck...it's damn near impossible when everything gives you honor.
Had a nice lure for cops in a hotel.. cap em as they came in but some honorable griefer bastard killed me.

I can't find any news on that one..

No second batch. They just announced they gave it well after they gave it.
Paid the 3 gold to go dishonored and did the 2 quests on the evil side. 100% story done now. I hope they add more story quests soon. Replaying them is meh.
Old Man Jones 3 gold was worth it. Getting killed by the cops and paying $2 each time + the ammo used + the time to get down from max honor not so much.

12-14-2018, 11:16 PM
I'm working towards 100%, currently at 86% with the pretty much all the challenges to do.

So, I got a second infusion of gold, but not cash.
Also, how the hell do you get friends together instead of a rag-tag group of randos for a multiplayer hoedown?
And why the hell did my camp position randomly change? Hard to get the lay of the land when you jump from a hilltop to a random valley elsewhere.

Probably create an Xbox Party group or a Posse.
Finally got to rank 14 to fish. Honestly, idling in large showdowns seems to be the most efficient way of getting xp, gold, and cash. Better than trying to hunt cougars since every cowpoke out there is fighting for 'em.
idle only in the deathmatches. If it's the team mode I don't wanna be that guy.
3 star muskies in the lake west of Strawberry net almost 8 cash each. You can only stow one, though (online). Not bad.
My online suggestions so far. I might keep updating this ---
1. insurance on ps4 arabian horse so you don't have to buy revivals or have to use the
nag horse if your horse dies and you don't have none on ya
2. varmint rifle for pvp. (cheap but whatever)
3. fish/bow to gain ranks in health
4. just run around/swim to get max rank 10 on stamina
5. pick mint herb to craft with big game meat (can't remember if I read that earlier in
this thread or on reddit... so credit to whomever discovered that).
6. do the missions to get to 75% story, then go visit Old Man Jones and pay him the 3
gold to get negative honor so you can do the last 2 quests to get to 100%. good
payouts. (Not worth the ammo and the $2 penalty if you die from the po po each time to get to negative manually).
having played the game, its good, probably more then just good. great graphics...........but..............its not pulling me in as a must play or to keep playing for hours. Probably the amount of time spent riding around on the horse becomes annoying. Then you get off the thing. Shoot it.....then takes even longer cuz your walking.
