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. I'm glad they went that way. Hope it fails miserably.

Shadowfennekin Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's ridiculous. I'm literally just playing for fun. Aside from weapons, I ain't buying sh*t. I wanted a bow so I bought one and even though it's quite expensive I might buy the Bolt Action Rifle next just so I can score some perfect big game pelts. I'm still having more fun than I would be having on GTA Online right now, this stuff is actually new Hopefully they improve payout and decrease costs when the player count starts to dwindle from this bullsh*t. And buff the selling price for Fences too. Everything sells for a dollar! In singleplayer you could make $5 off a SILVER watch. Online gives you $1.25 -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand it, because it's not even necessary. They control earn rates on jobs and drop rates/RNG for all sellable loot. They can also add more expensive, flashy customizations, clothes, horses and weapons that aren't in single player and sell them for more. So what do they do? Just make stuff cost more and valuables sell for less. :| DentureDynamite, Lonely-Martin, Assblaster and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentureDynamite Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Someone pointed out that a handful of Oatcakes costs more than what a Gold Watch sells for... Come on, Rockstar. The value of lootable items should at least be plausible, or its another not-so-subtle headshot to the zombie known as RDO.

DentureDynamite Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) ^^ lol By the current sound of things, I'll probably be looting road apples at the O'Driscoll gang camps and feeding them to my horse and myself.

Dr.Rosenthal Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Worst part: 1. Red Dead has a more mature audience, hence an audience much less inclined to want to purchase gold bars especially after knowing what happened to GTAO (I’m in this category) 2. Nr 1 means less kids asking their parents for money so that they can buy the latest supercar or Oppressor, meaning less money in R*’s pockets 3. Less ”fancy stuff” to buy - we’d pay millions for the latest Pegassi supercar, but might feel more hesitant about the latest Kentucky Saddler or visual upgrades for our guns All this, combined with the outrageous difference in job income contra the price of in-game items and upgrades means that R* will not make nearly as much money off of Red Dead Online as they have from GTAO R*’s (or Take Two’s) conclusion will be that Red Dead Online (and the Red Dead franchise overall) is not financially viable and should be discontinued in favor of more lucrative franchises ”that the fans want”. At least they gave us two absolutely brilliant games.

People will/and have complained so then they’ll adjust the levels a little bit to make it seem more fair, but really they wanted it at that level all along. Then they’ll be praised for listening to the community and making things more player friendly, when it was only bumped up to absurd amounts just so their slightly lower absurd amounts seem reasonable. It’s an old sales tactic, retail stores do a similar thing sometimes, bump prices up before sales go on then the sale just puts the item back at its original price. But it seems like you’re getting a discount. Although I’m pretty sure that’s illegal now. I guarantee this whole thing was planned out from the start, they knew people would be in an uproar, in fact they had bet on it. They almost definitely have smart people on their financial and marketing team that can predict outcomes to scenarios like this, and it’s one of the few ways they could keep their prices relatively high while still seeming like the good guy that answered the community outcry. This wasn’t some oopsie Just my theory anyway. I’m only playing online to mess around with a couple friends so I have little interest in grinding or paying them real money. Edit* it’s probably also part of the reasoning as to why you can’t purchase gold bars atm, because they aren’t supposed to stay at their current value, and they didn’t want to have to issue refunds? Also it’s a beta, but ya Edit** Btw I didn’t think this was some revolutionary idea, I just lurk a bit and hadn’t seen anyone share it so thought I’d put it out there. Also I’m not trying to attack rockstar here, I love the game and am stoked to see what they come out with for it ##Ends## Trying to make it more readable. Yeah, it's BS. R* also puts the price on GTAV UP before a steam sale, so you're like, 'wow, look at that 50% off' when really it's like 25% off etc. We're all under monetized according to their CEO and investors. FUTURE TIP for the copy/pasters. This forum loves to mess with copy paste from other websites and you'll find white background or like above, faded hard to read text. What I do is copy paste into a word file. Highlight all the text. Click 'clear all formatting' (A symbol with a reddish eraser in the ribbon area) Now you can copy paste that text back into the forum and it should be fine, no weird text anomalies.

Qbert Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Money really is not that hard to make on here, I mean did you even play the story? Did you just not have any money other than the gold bar money? I made $50.00 in like 10 minutes last night 10 minutes and not some glitch or whatever either and all it cost me was like 1.00$.

HamwithCheese Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Well, at least its semi cosmetic (good guns and horses are worth some bars right?). I just dont understand why they'd go this f*cking far, the game sold well. 16 hours for a f*cking shirt. Come the f*ck on, who mined oar from the mines for 16 hours, went straight to the general store and purchased a f*cking ladies shirt? Not very immersive R*. The more I read, the more I dont even wanna start.

Yep, 100% too and no need for the gold bar glitch either as completeing it sorted me out well. Same with GTA:O, I'm rich, have it all, and it just frees me up to play more crazy sh*t however I want and not care about succeeding as I need the cash or need to buy access to new content. Made the game fun again. No excusing them reducing the average pay and jacking prices from story on much all while locking stuff behind a ridiculous level of gold to make some things pay to win. (Guns and high end horses IIRC, and yes. Honour, lol). DentureDynamite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
