How do you feel about Red Dead's Microtransactions?

GTAO has and had several massive money glitches.

Bad example if you ask me.

Which RDO money glitched caused the inflation of prices we’re seeing now?

 

Also, you aren’t taking physical items that need to be accounted for, there’s no inventory  to keep on black metals for guns so suggesting that glitching for gold and using it to change the metal on my gun means it’s causing them to raise the price of said metal to zero out what was “stolen” makes no sense whatsoever

What's the difference between massive money glitches and massive shark cards sales though?

What inflation?

Are you comparing to story mode?

R* makes profit on one but not the other.

This.. What money glitch in RDO caused the high cash and insanely high gold prices?

They aren't high, that's just your opinion.

Dude, if you want them all right now, yes the prices are high.

If you plan on playing the game for YEARS then no they are just there to obtain over time.

Different perspectives.. i know... rocket science

[iddqdvie]

singleplayer threw money at you. that wasnt funny at all. being broke offered the greatest fun in SP. need some bullets? better rob somebody.... so i like the survival aspect of rdo

 

 

this is not gta, i dont need the newest horse or the nextgen attackwagon.

 

i had spent quite some real money on cashcards after my   hacked bounty millions where gone in gta. just because i felt like i needed all the things in gta. gta makes me enjoy my cars in freeroam. it makes me care for what i ride. and driving a car around in gta is more fun than riding a horse in rdr. 

 

 

but this is rdr. freeroaming is kinda boring as for now. its just a big pvp arena and whatever i want to do, its all about shooting. 

 

so i dont bother at all. that first horse you get? its

fine... 

 

after the storymissions you get 500dollar and 2,3 gold or so, thats enough for some cloths and new weapons. from there on its me and the open world of rdr. 

 

 

so basically, i dont care.

Yeah, not many will argue that prices in GTA:O didn't go a bit far, lol.

Wording.

[Mister Pink]

The fact that we're all here twiddling our thumbs talking about this and not the game is a testament of how much Rockstar messed up by using this whorish business model and applied it to a videogame.

Honestly Red Dead Online is absolutely ridicolous from what i've seen, you literally have worse than free-to-play games prices in a full price game. Also, you also got two separate currencies as the cherry on the sh*t cake, so that you are essentially forced to buy the in-game gold in order to unlock things since you barely get any gold from activities anyway. All this, again, from a 60$ game. And people were complaining about EA...

For that, we proudly glitch! We outlaws, gotta act like one.

Honestly I will just wait for the game to come out on PC (Provided it even comes out at all) and then mod the hell out of an account, the games they make might be masterpieces, but i'm really tired of how they constantly screw with their players.

If they would get rid of micro transactions it would bring the prices down, therefor eliminating the need for people to exploit glitches.

Different game but same time period. Why would prices change? You know why. To force people into buying their damn gold bars. 

[Mr_Humper]

I really wonder how R* is going to keep this online from not being dead. The microtranaction practices already made 80% of my friends skip this game after 4 hours of play. There's no cars in the game, so there will be no more car fanatics throwing R* money to buy parts and vehicles. Theres no interesting military equipment in red dead, so all the ex military or wanna be military players are gone. There's no advanced weaponry or armored military vehicles, so that audience is gone. There's not really a good motivation to grind for this game. Maybe after doing like 2 hours of grinding you can probably get just 1 pistol.

Exactly.

 

Anyone who disagrees is either too busy sucking T2's dick or is a looser who spends the whole life grinding an online game.

That's what you believe and have never been close to be proven. R* knows very well that higher prices won't affect people that glitch, they will just glitch even more so it's only the legit players that are affected. That's pretty simple.. 

 

Also how can you defend that you have to play over 800 hours to be able to buy fast travel with current price/payouts?

Yeah. Even with all the missing singleplayer features it would have a hard stand. In its current state its just a bad gta. Its new,so people play it. But i prefer to grind while flying  helicopter to unlock another heli over shoot bad guys with autoaim to unlock a lil better look for my camp. All the feeling from singleplayer is gone.

Bingo. I was really expecting RDR2O to be different because of the points you listed. I was hoping something geared more towards coop missions, hunting, fishing, etc. Basically a continuation of single player but with friends. 

 

But, having a game geared towards coop wouldn’t allow the grind and sale of micro transactions. Sad to see such a awesome company that brought classics throughout my younger years take a turn for greed and join the ranks of EA.

I’m ok with it if he’s a  rockstar employee, but he should listen to what people are saying instead of just saying “nope, you’re wrong, economy is great and people don’t mind paying real money or playing 500 hours for a horse”. Smh

[Mr_Humper]

As stated before, this game is designed to make you pay for these gold bar microtranaction stuff. Many of the items of the game are either really expensive, or they are locked behind a high level cap. There's an option to get some of those items instantly, but only if you pay in gold. You keep getting killed in tdm because this guy owns a bolt action and you don't? You have to grind hours and hours to reach his rank & buy the weapon. Hell there's a f*cking option to buy full health and dead eye items before the match starts. So a player who is actually a better shot can get put at a disadvantage because he doesn't have enough money to purchase dead eye tonics or instant health viles. What's the point in playing these modes if sh*t like this is there.

 

I don't mind grinding to get stuff in a video game, but I stop playing once it starts becoming a chore.

The prices are high enough to last throughout the life of the game, else everyone will just get everything on day 1.

Which is why it needs balancing. It shouldn’t take grinding the life of the game to buy a gun and a jacket. Some of us have a life outside of this game.

Not much modded accounts to be found on current gen afaik, unless something changed the last month or so 

On current gen whaty? On GTAV Online on PS4 there are a f*ck ton of modded accounts. I get people who sell modded accounts follow me on Twitter for some reason or other. They are always retweeting happy customers who have purchased a modded GTAV account along with picture proving they are indded a legit modder. Along with Call of Duty accounts. Those seem to be the 2 biggest sellers. You buy a modded GTAV account for just £10 and it comes equipped with billions in the bank to buy and unlock everything and you can choose KD and rank etc too if you want. Sometimes they come with rare items like space helmets and beer hats and so on. Several of my friends bought them to beat Rockstar and none of them ever got banned.

[Eastern Outlaw]

It feels extremely forced, given the sh*tty payouts for literally everything and gold being advertised in every f*cking catalog you open. The entire progression system is basically encouraging you to buy virtual currency, which is very common in games today so it doesn't come as a shock...but it's a huge disappointment. Right now I feel that I'll have to opt to play the game without getting any of the things that I want since I'll never support their microtransactions, and obtaining the cool sh*t that I want through grinding could potentially take months...and this is a game that I'm already pretty bored with on day 2

 

Red Dead Redemption is my favorite game ever; best game of all time to me, and its multiplayer was a god damn masterpiece. The sh*t we're getting this time around is a 180 degree turn if I've ever seen one

Micro transactions are the cancer of our gaming generation. I miss 2005 so much.

 

And don't waste your time saying that we are not obliged to purchase these f*cking gold bars. They made everything so ridiculously expensive, that some things need 100 HOURS OF GRIND TO PUCHASE. A SINGLE f*ckING ITEM. ONE HUNDRED REAL LIFE HOURS.

 

I know some people here in the forums doesn't have a real life to live and will easily grind 100 hours for an item, but us normal folk can't do that. And I'm not spending more real life earned money in the game. I've already spent $99 for the ultimate edition.

 

I will take advantage of every single money glitch in this game. T2 can go f*ck themselves with this ridiculous greed.

That's pretty much my opinion on all MTXs in this game for the short time I played the game.

 

They are even worse than GTA:O, and this sh*t has to stop, practices like these are what is ruining modern gaming for me.

 

But unlike you, I won't even bother to do money glitches because I'm not touching RDO at all, I played GTA:O for far too long to know that this game will eventually become the same cancerous PvP hellhole...Or MTXs will kill the game's playerbase interest so much that it will become a ghostown.

 

This game doesn't deserve my time at all.
