This might actually be the WORST UPDATE EVER. And I don't mean for Rockstar Games but in VIDEO GAME HISTORY. So the only new real content that has gameplay value is 10 more levels on a role plus very few QoL improvements. The structure of the bounty missions and everything is the same except for some flavor text + dialogue. Just imagine a World of Warcraft expansion that people wait for half a year only to get 10 more levels FOR ONE SINGLE CLASS. Now on Top of that this is the greediest I have ever seen a company act: They charge the same amount that the BH-License originally cost for half the value now. Payouts for daily challenges were double nerfed. First with the streak reset and then cut by 50%. The Outlaw Pass essentially doesn't give back 10 gold bars when buying after this week. And the prices for the new cosmetics are insane: - 42 gold bars for Dual Lemat Skin - 45 gold bars for a new Missouri Foxtrotter - 10-20 gold bars for each and every single Colour Variation of the Bounty Wagon. But the worst: EVERYTHING is broken right now. - You don't get any money from delivering goods as a trader or a moonshiner. - You don't get the proper gold amount for daily challenges or other stuff either sometimes. - You don't get any XP whatsoever, not for killing, not for Missions, for nothing. Neither Bounty XP nor normal XP. Which essentially means right now you CANNOT progress in neither the new BH Ranks nor in the Outlaw Pass. And these two things are LITERALLY the only things that were added. So by definition you can't play any new content, but it broke even more unrelated stuff and if this wasn't enough now your only reason to log back in daily is gone. I think it is fair to say this is the worst update in video game history (By a big company, not including indie games / Early Access titles or whatever).

That's a mission spawn for getaway vehicles for the diamond casino heist. Whoever started it chose Asbos as the getaway vehicle and have to steal it during or after those NPCs finish their race.

I'm just disappointed more than anything and it makes me kinda sad about the game. Five months of waiting and we got half a role update, no new weapons, barely any clothes, an Outlaw Pass that doesn't reward the full cost that's also filled with filler and stuff that should NEVER be in a time limited pass (ammo pouch upgrades), suspiciously high gold prices for new stuff and, of course, the daily challenge "balancing". To top it off from what I've heard they also introduced a whole slate of bugs too. To make matters worse, in that five months, we went through a new console generation launch which they have thus far put no effort into. No enhanced versions, no 60fps options, no char transfers for those that changed platforms, and no reason to think any of that is coming anytime soon. It's a double whammy of feeling that not only do they not care about the game with such a poor, lackluster update, but they also don't seem to give a sh*t about the community that's been playing the game for two years and through months and months of content droughts. Ah well, roll on December the 10th.

This would be the perfect weapon to get rid of the oppressors mk2. It would work like homing launcher but with a bit longer lock-on time. Could be a completely new weapon with price about 350k or just a mk2 grenade launcher with possibility changing rocket/grenade type for example to incendiary rounds. This is also a cut weapon from the GTA V so it would be nice if they would add it back with some small changes.

Too much effort to obscure something that's eventually gonna end up discovered, rendering all that effort useless. Could you imagine them dropping title updates each week to add a new vehicle and you having to download the same update each week? Not only that, but the game doesn't seem to support delta patching/updating, so we could be looking at downloading "1 GB + the size of the new vehicle" update each week. Rockstar could target the tools meant to access said drip-feed vehicles, but such route is a lot of a hassle for them and they may end up facing backlash from the modding community. Frankly, if this specific matter was quite a big deal for them, you would have seen them carry out the actions I have wrote, or at least implement measures to hamper our path to access said content. Yes, all the bonuses are active until December 9th.

Am a day 1 beta player. Took some breaks, but have stuck with it.One of the things that kept me going was the promise of the game tapping into its enormous potential. R* hasn't kept its promise. Since yesterday, I've been asking myself: what the hell is going on? I don't know, but it's not good. Under different circumstances, the daily challenge nerf would be OK. Picking up 5 Wild Carrot shouldn't give 2.5x the gold you get for winning a 10-minute Showdown match, or a 15-minute bounty hunter mission. What makes it unacceptable is: the nerf is too big, it makes the methods for making gold limited again. I'm forced to either be a Showdown ace and spend hours in there, or mindnumbingly grind missions that have no depth or real variety. There's a number of activities which aren't worth my time for the first 14 days anymore. I only did them because there was a nice gold payout. If there was more content and variety, it would be different. But there isn't. The effective nerf is more than 50%. At the same time, a) gold prices increase, b) more clothes and items are gold only, and c) super high gold prices are around the corner. 50, 150, even 600 gold properties were datamined, are with this update no longer unrealistic. It's ironic that with the daily challenge nerf, having a streak is more important than ever. We hit „pay dirt“ at day 15, it lasts 2 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if more gold and $ nerfs are around the corner. So how was RDO's 2020? Not good. Naturalist + this update would have been fine as a single update, if there were 2 more of the same sized updates. But there weren't. From a bird's eye view, yesterday's update has too little „good“, some „OK“, and a lot of „bad and ugly“. They're turning RDO into „Cowboy GTA“, and it makes me shake my head. Damn, too bad.

We haven’t had a true new Gallivanter model at all, and I think a classic RR Defender would suit nicely.

Lol, the GTAO article got yeeted. The timing was weird to be honest, it's been in preparation for over 6 hours, so definitely something prepared for Thursday or Friday.

It's so....IMMERSIVE! The Furry scene in the old west was so much bigger than today. I applaud Rockstar Games for such incredible historical accuracy.

Oh, shut up, man. Why is it that people like you will never understand that the majority of players don't want the game to be a non-stop, unavoidable war? I hope the next time you're busy blowing yourself up to avoid dying during a 1v1 at the beach, your dog walks in the room and takes a dump on your console.

I generally tell people to go to the bitch and moan thread. But at this point there can't be any speculation, not a single side is happy with the state of the game or the updates. I'm legit enjoying this sh*tshow ngl.

That's it, I am going to complete the OP then uninstalling the game, gonna save me a ton of space on my PS5 SSD. I will do the rest of the LB when good stuff comes out. Also there so many other amazing games out there and many more coming out that are worth my time unlike this garbage. If anyone has seen my posts on this discussion in the past I have always been extremely optimistic and even defended R* by giving them the benefit of the doubt. There are a lot of other companies out there that value my money and time a lot more so I am going to move on as soon as I finish the OP. Unlike most I actually was not upset at the daily streak nerf (not happy about it but I understood why they did it) but let me tell you what broke me today. Before the update came out I thought there would be properties because I didn't think T2 would allow R* to release an update where they couldn't charge a lot of GB for something, I also expected inflation but what really got me is after releasing an update with absolutely nothing (if this content came out as weekly dripfeed between large I would call it good not great but an entire update???) they decided to charge 21 GB for the LeMat revolver variant??? f*ck R*. Congratulations R* you broke me. p.s. everyone on this forum has been awesome but I am going to take some time off until the next update, wanted to thank everyone for being so cool but I am done stressing about this game, I am gonna go spend my money and time somewhere more deserving.

Partly, I agree. I don't need to know what missions/modes or t-shirt unlockables are tucked in there. But partly disagree, as an avid car collector, I need to know how many cars of the dripfeed I'll want as I make plans based on the storage R* may add. Only makes me wanna contribute more, lol. That game needs to fail for the future of R* online games.

I have a strong feeling that Rockstar's arrogance will kill off RDO completely in a not-too-distant future, as well as have them in absolute denial about it being an ever crappy gaming experience. Someone's greed has gone absolutely insane, resulting in one sh*tfest after another, all for making quick bucks. The already bad grinding is now gonna become absolutely insane, essentially rendering the game unplayable and nothing but tedious. Nothing's gonna justify dedicated players having to pay up for expensive MTX all of the time. Especially not in a game that's seriously lacking in quality gameplay. People will drop the game, the MTX sales are gonna follow as a result, and then somebody's gonna start asking wtf happened. The way R* acts high and mighty these days, they're likely just gonna throw sh*t on us players for abandoning the ship they filled with holes themselves. They aren't doing nothing wrong, right? It's all about us being ungrateful pricks with their "massive" and oh so original and groundbreaking updates. Man, I cared so much about this game, had such high hopes for it. None of the updates were truly great imo, but I at least expected it to get better and better like GTAO did. Not the other way around. These last three updates are like three strikes. I don't know how much Covid-19 affected them, but I'd rather have them hold on to them for a while, develop them properly, then release something solid and fun. Or at the very least not market this crap as something massive, because some cut-and-paste recycling certainly is not. That's just ridiculous. The Naturalist update was like a cancer diagnosis. The Halloween pass like an advanced stage diagnosis. This update was terminal. In my world, RDO died today. Never becoming it's great potential.

I'm assuming this is either a) evidence there won't be an update until May 2021 b) backup incase of covid c) partial pass content so the filesize of the next update is smaller

My issue with the pandemic aspects that may have had an impact is R*'s secretive nature and how they refuse to communicate or offer a roadmap. If they had said what was coming in future, when it comes to working from home, that may have been easier as they'd have less to worry about regarding leaks and such as we'd already know what was coming. That could have given them more freedom to create stuff from home. Plus they could have come out and said something like 'we were planning X to arrive this month but unfortunately the pandemic has halted mo-cap production so we need to delay the continuation of the Le Clerk story we'd love to be offering you right now' for example. I'm sure anyone would forgive delays and the like with a bit of communicating had they said this or that was coming, you know? That said, the nerfing aspects don't fall into that, that's a whole other conversation, lol.

Thing is, I absolutely get that the pandemic is a thing - it's complicated game development all across the board, and a bunch of more 'live service' games have had to scale back updates from what they might have done the same time last year. For example, Forza Horizon 4 has been putting out an average of three cars per update (sometimes returning cars from past Forzas, not all-new to the series), and few new gameplay features, whereas 2019 had two DLC expansions, multiple new features, and a bunch of all-new-to-Forza cars. It's what you have to do when adapting to stuff like working from home - like I say, I get it. ...so why doesn't R* make better use of stuff already in the game? Civilian wagons/carriages would be an easy money-spinner - there are plenty of models and colours already in from single-player, so just let people buy a buggy, stagecoach, etc. Same for the M1899 pistol - it's in the game, it'd be fun to use, so why not? Same too with clothing - one of the dresses with the Naturalist update was originally one of Tilly's outfits in single-player, just with different colour variations added - can't see why they couldn't do more of that with other story-mode character clothing. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't used Micah or Dutch's outfits for the Outlaw Pass yet - normally they've put in two VdL gang outfits, but this time, just the one (and it's another of Arthur's - and not a particularly interesting/useful one, either). I'm honestly less baffled by them having to scale stuff back, and do smaller, less game-changing updates, than I am by how they aren't taking the really obvious shortcut of recycling perfectly good assets from single-player. Particularly when they have gone to the trouble of doing an all-new Witchfinder General bounty hunter outfit (that looks a bit daft, IMO), and (*checks notes*) ...a series of belt buckles depicting the VdL gang as furries. I just don't get why R* seems to think that something as gimmicky as this makes more sense as 'meaningful new content' than something as setting-appropriate and just plain neat as this - I really don't... ...although now I think about it, RDO is hitting the 2-year mark, now - and two years into GTAO, R* started yanking out more grounded activities like 'Distract Cops', in favour of putting in "Freemode Events" that let you bounce around the city as a werewolf. Maybe it's the same thing again: "we've got no long-term plan, so just throw stuff at the wall, and see what sticks" - in which case, I worry that either they'll just struggle with the limitations of the setting and end up neglecting RDO in favour of milking bigger and dafter gimmicks in GTAO, or they'll try going down the GTAO route, and we'll get steampunk tanks and s***. And in the second scenario, I suspect that, like with GTAO, enough players will enjoy dicking around with wacky toys that they'll sell well enough, R* will double down, and RDO's virtual world will turn into just another context-free playground for whatever random Content™ will drive up sales.

This update benefits R* and disadvantages players. Maybe the changes to monetisation could have been justified if they were offset by a f*ckton of gameplay improvements - more content, quality of life improvements etc - but that just didn’t happen. There is no way the massive nerfs to income are offset by the lacklustre content they served up. They had the choice of improving their income by improving the product or jacking up the price, or doing both and they chose the least customer friendly option. And the most annoying thing is that it would have been so easy to improve the product! It’s not like we are talking about squeezing the last drops of excellence out of an already great game - what exists is a mediocre stew of missed opportunities and untaken chances, most of which are easily rectifiable.

You guys, I don't know but what in the heck are these all about? Oh there are more of them? Furry buckles, are they supposed to be cute? The coat is something from Skyrim, the chaps are a nightmare and the hat has a horseshoe on it. If it wasn't for the new horse cosmetics and the ability to fast travel from my Wilderness camp this Pass would be a bust. And if you want your bounty hunter to look the part of an anime/Manga cowboy

The Series S is no different than minimum system requirements for PC. Looks bad at first, and you can easily over simplify it. But it's really not, and game have always been made to run on the lowest specs out there.

If they don't fix this broken dlc soon, it may cause us to lose our daily streaks.

After you reach Bounty Hunter rank 30, you can trade your role XP for cash and gold. 10.000 role XP gives you 100$ and 0.5 Gold.

You all make good points. Also, who am I to say "don't look at the dripfeed". Truthfully, I can't even seem to restrain myself on launch day from not looking into the dripfeed anyway lmao.

Last night I found, killed and donated the Owiza bear to a low level random. We exchanged polite thankful emotes then I rode off. I had to do something to cheer myself up, I guess. The blatant money-grab from R* / T2 is staggering. Combined with the sheer lack of worthwhile content, as well as offering Online standalone for next to nothing, only serves to reinforce the argument that they don't give a sh*t about the actual game. Its all about money. I sincerely think that they must've sat down and wondered, 'How much little content can we get away with putting in the next update, whilst clamping down on anything that hurts our bottom line?'. Its f*cking unforgivable.

Ughhh I just noticed they renamed Red Dead Redemption 2 on RGL as Red Dead Online no matter if you have the full game or any edition (as the Ultimate Edition in my situation), what a f*cking disgrace, they are treating now RDR2 story mode as a f*cking DLC and the base game is RDO...this is disgusting at this point jeez...

Maybe off-topic, but is this new? There were also 2 Asbos in the middle lined up to race each other. I've never seen a random drag race event before.

No money. No Role XP. No regular XP. Only gold on Legionary Bounty. WHAT A PILE OF

Jesus f*cking Christ. All I have to say.

Don't forget the stock Sasquatch... ...and the stock Cerberus!!!

The "10 Gold Bars Rebate" seems to be a standard now, because the cost of the next Outlaw Pass included within this update as dripfeed, also rewards you less the amount you invested in by 10 Gold Bars. So, I guess Rockstar will start doing these limited-time "10 Gold Bars" rebates with each new Outlaw Pass. An attempt to persuade people to purchase the Outlaw Pass the moment it goes live, in case you wanted to earn back the full cost.
