TheSantader25 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 If there wasn't trophies I wouldn't play. I'm gonna get them and head back to SP. Guys how long do you think it takes to reach rank 50? Hatin Since 87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Vienna Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Was expecting a grind but this is something else... Guess I will wait and see what happens in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutduster Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 How is anyone defending an 8 hour grind for one shirt? Really disappointed that they seem to have just copied the GTA Online model soup to nuts, including the parts of it that eventually ruined it.

In-game, a gold bar is worth $500. Effectively, that shirt costs the equivalent of $30468.10. GTA:O prices look almost reasonable by comparison. Man they gotta add certified Louis Vuitton and Gucci products in RDO for that price. That way we still get robbed for the prices but will flex Con9mm and God-eater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not throwing in the towel just yet either, but I am very likely to stay in single player for quite a while longer - may just replay the game after I get 100% the first time - and wait to see how online develops. No PvE/friendly lobbies might honestly be a dealbreaker for me - I am beyond fed up with the GTA Online model of "optional" PvP, which really means grief or get griefed all day, every day. That concerns me even more than the grinding does. ALifeOfMisery, Con9mm, DentureDynamite and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's freakin sad because i really enjoy story mode, I really like the open world and the details, and would love to just play this game with friends. I have very little interest in PvP but when I do, I would rather have a dedicated area for it, or a dedicated lobby for it. After 9 hours at work, relaxation is what I desire, not competition. At least not everyday. Lonely-Martin, dairyworker, ALifeOfMisery and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping for a lot more co-op type of play from this. Doing heists in GTA with my friends was so much fun... I wanted a lot more of that in this game, not less. Fighting tooth and nail with trolls and griefers has completely lost any fun factor for me, I just can't be bothered with a game that requires you to put up with that.

You said things are level locked but you can unlock in level 1 if you have, lets say, 24 gold bars...so you can just buy a shark card or whatever. Loving the game but they need to balance this sh*t.

FuturePastNow Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Well by comparison, the most expensive clothing items in GTAO are some racing suits and similar that cost between $100k and 200k. For a shirt, you're looking at $1k-6k or so. So spending just a few minutes participating in basically any in-game activity will reward you with enough money for a shirt. Someone who is good at the grind can pay off the most expensive clothing item in an hour. Those might take a casual player a few hours. Vehicles are a whole other story, of course. But I sincerely doubt anyone has felt pressured into buying a Shark Card just for clothing.

Razar Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) This is just ridicolous, really. It actually makes GTA Online's grinding look like a breeze in comparison. It would be fine if RDO was a free-to-play game, but you also have to pay $60 to get access to it. Edited November 29, 2018 by Dark_Razar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played both RDR1 and GTAO and im telling you this player base is much more friendly. The game itself engage people to play like that in my opinion.

But I'm not looking to add right now as i just won't be playing much until this test is over. As bad as GTA in my experience so far. But thanks for trying and offering. Bad game atm.

JuliuszMCMXCVII Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm currently at the level 30. So far I've got 5.34 gold bars including the ones taken from the treasure chests.

CarltonDanks69 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I didnt think R* would actually have the audacity to make RDO as grindy as GTAO, since its a lesser known franchise with a smaller fan base, but they actually manged to make it even MORE of a grind?

Right now I'm still finishing single player anyway. So far it's seems much more friendly compared to other online games I have played. I have gone afk numerous times while in Blackwater and valentine for about 10 mins to eat my dinner, the place has been full of people and no ones killed me once. when you're in a shop your horse can't be attacked. when you're in a shop or picking up a mission you can't be attacked. if killed 3 times by the same person you have the option to 'parley' with them. when in your camp with the white flag raised you can't be attacked. if you are contantly griefed by another player then you can just click on the menu and load your character into a different state to get away from them. psymin and Tampinha85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
