Today’s game is Red Dead Online. I had a bunch of screenshots but Rockstar makes it annoying to get ahold of them. So i had to supplement for some clips i took instead.
Lately i’ve been wanting to play RDO, as December is one of my favorite times to play this game because the entire map is covered in Snow. Me and a friend got on and took a ride all the way up to Ambarino. After messing around at the waterfall for a bit (see exhibit A)
We rode up to Saint Denis. I would like to say i got some really pretty screenshots of the city, but Rockstar’s Social Club compresses the camera photos to hell and back. So instead here’s a clip of me trying to climb some scaffolding in the city and falling to my death:
After that we went to Valentine and got into a Shootout with the cops. Here’s a Screenshot from outside the Saloon after i discovered how to obtain Molotov Cocktails and Dynamite. I try to avoid involving other players unless they join in, so no one else was shot at (or in town really for that matter). I know that’s like the whole antithesis of a wild west outlaw-like game like this, but i try to treat other players how i would want to be treated. so i try to avoid actively picking a fight.
After that we went to Annesburg to hang my Friend’s Horse for crimes against us during the shootout:
As it turns out. It is very hard to get a horse in the Gallows. After that we chose to sign off, as my collision was doing some wacky stuff and it was late anyways.
Me and a group of friends have a tradition of playing RD:O on thanksgiving. This year we had 6 preople, and after about 2 hours of trying we had to give up. No matter what we did we were unable to find a working server, they all had issues. Couldn’t call horses, weapons wouldn’t equip, some of us weren’t appearing to others, it was a mess. It’s such a charming game and world that’s let down by Rockstar’s servers and not being able to host your own locally. I might try to see about using RedM next year, but that’s extra work I’m not certain people will want to do.
Rockstar’s Abandonment of the game sucks. They don’t moderate anything and it’s buggy sometimes. I’ve never had an issue like what you’re describing but I’ve been hit with wonky collision and My friend had an issue where a hacker replaced his arms with Flame Throwers. It was funny, but also annoying.
I’m sad I stopped playing. By far the chillest way to unwind after work.
“The whole map is covered in snow… So we went up to Ambarino” kidding, yeah the snow is the absolute best. I’m gonna have to log in this week now.
Definitely worth it if you can get in without any Hackers. I’ve played on Console and PC, and in my experience PC hackers are a lot more destructive than console hackers.
The console hackers dropped 20 dead wolves in Valentine and Left. The PC hackers kept blowing me up and teleporting me into the sky stuck in a wagon and 15 Alligators to drop me to my death. Granted. The player base in general has seemed to have dropped. In this session my friend only ran into one hacker so it seems in better condition at least
There are console hackers?? Ugh.
I love it when games make the in-game weather kind of match the real world… Also, love this series of yours. Keep going. I’m here for it.
I wish the Game’s world reflected it. Or at least had a cheat to toggle it. I’d love to be able to use the proper photo mode in story mode while it was snowing
