So has anyone played the online mode?

Haven't finished it the game yet.

I hear it's got some bugs and there's a chance Rockstar might reset everyone's rank in order to fix things.

Keep in mind, it's in beta stage.

I'm waiting until it's out of beta and is the proper thing. Rumors are that progress might not carry over, so would rather wait.

Unless someone finds some sort of rank up exploit or gold glitch, I dont see why they'd need to go nuclear and reset progress.

Well there is the pig exploit for regular cash. Got about 200 in an hour of doing that.

Damn Rockstar and these stupid challenges they put near/at the end of the chain.

do you need ps plus to play online? haven't tried yet

damn..i wish i would have known about trinkets that i had available to me throughout the story to get. oh well

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.

I guess it's (mostly) stable, at least? I had to recreate my character for ps3 gta online at least 2 dozen times for it to stick.

Wrong gas.

He meant steroids. Need a better supplier, bud.

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.

You're a convicted murderer on the run. I don't think you can be staying at five star hotels.

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

How about you look up the term Beta and come back late-ah?

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.

I never even go to my camp

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.

just bought a bow. next up... a fishing pole in a couple levels.

kobrakaiff is my ps4 id

Goddamnit. Of course I saw this super late. I think I was online the 5th, and haven't fired up RDR2 since for one reason or another.

I got it and snatched up the achievement for updating my digs.

FINALLY made it to the epilogue. If this is on the short side, I'll have thoughts sometime later in the week.

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.

I've had no problems playing online except people talking with fake or real southern accents in audio chat. Had to shut that shit off.
