Already threw a like his way, but I don’t see a video in his last post.

I think there's another thread for self promoting videos.  Not sure if people are allowed to promote their own stuff elsewhere.  I should probably check but I haven't created anything to promote yet. (I did read the rules when I joined but that was a few years back)

I just played Railroad Baron!

 

Guys...

 

...you are not missing out.

 

Never again. Good idea, badly executed. The killfest before you are even on the train is unbearable.

 

And I quite enjoy the other events and also won them a couple of times.

But Railroad Baron? It's the worst by far.

[IamCourtney 6,930]

Avoid the killfest, use your respawn invulnerability to get clear of the pack then swing wide and head for where the train is going to be and get on as it passes. The one I was in last night was a 4 way battle between myself and 3 others who figured this out while the rest of the session all just trailed the train and got nowhere as they blasted each other uselessly.

[Xtf 900]

Can you actually jump from your horse to the train?  Only got close enough twice but didn't see the prompt.

[ALifeOfMisery 37,428]

Played Railroad Baron last night, from what others have said I wasn't expecting it to be good, or even average, but I wasn't expecting it to be quite so painfully bad.

 

Within 30 seconds it had descended into being an absolute sh*t show where hardly anyone ever gets near the train, everyone who dies gets spawned together and most players stop trying to get to the train and settle for a cycle of spawn, kill, die, respawn near the spawn points.

 

Garbage game mode. 

 

@Xtf Personally, I didn't even get close to the train, but from the YouTube videos I've watched, you can jump from your horse to the train.

R* needs to stop with PvP modes if you ask me

They need to stop pushing game modes that are completely devoid of any contextual connection to the main theme of the game.

 

The Showdowns, admittedly they aren't my thing, but ok, they are structured PvP and a separate entity.

 

But the freeroam events are garbage, most seem so disconnected from the RDO world. The fishing challenges are ok. But Dispatch Rider? Fool's Gold? The Animal Kills challenge is a mindless disappointment too.

 

How about simple things that might actually fit contextually in the RDO world? 

 

A Target Shooting event where you have rounds with different weapons and limited ammo, going from static targets like 6 cans on a fence to moving targets like birds to hitting targets while drunk, all free aim, speed and accuracy determine the winner.

 

A round robin duel tournament, revolver only, everyone duels everyone else once.

 

Things like breaking the most wild horses within a time limit, to lasso and subdue the most Ox or Bull within a time limit.

I was hoping for more dripfed strangers

 

Like some more of the Gunslingers from the campaign would be neat, maybe even Micah or hell if Rockstar wanna go above and beyond to make us hate Agent Milton, make him a stranger too, doing corrupt anti-gang work.

There’s plenty of time to add all these kinda game modes in later. 

 

They’re probably looking at this game lasting 5 years plus. Do you really need it all added now?

I'd rather have modes like those instead of the pew pew spawn kill cr*p.

 

And yes, I'd rather actually have modes like that than the speculation or prospect of them coming in x years time.

Showdown Large is still bugged... How come they haven't fixed that yet? Hasn't worked properly since the beginning of May...

They don’t bother fixing stuff which helps players make gold and money lol but hey they patch money glitches within few hours

[IamCourtney 6,930]

Landed in a Railroad Baron against a posse of 7 last night, clearly trying for the train would be futile so, I admit, I made the most of the situation by farming XP off of respawners 😬

[LooseCanon 1,481]

Awesome, receive first baron invite, accept, load in to timer ended screen and load back out again, I may play again for that level of excitement.

They might not know it's not working for some people, I normally join from quick menu and don't have any issues.  Tried once from pause menu, it broke and I couldn't get on for the rest of the day, but next day, back to quick join with no issues. 

[Winonas 490]

I played Railroad Baron once yesterday. An awful experience, I will never try it again and can’t recommend it on any level. 

[Son of Dutch 2,301]

Now this is nice

I definitely won't be complaining about those 3 treasure maps.

I'm no fan of these PlayStation timed exclusives and gifts etc. even though, as a PS player I'm receiving them. But it could be worse, if RDO had cross play, now that really would be sh*t.

[Happy Hunter 52,642]

I find it very scummy, since I supported the game and killed my channel's views for it, at a time lots of other people didn't. But that's the way it goes I guess. Just another example of Rockstar spreading their cheeks for whoever throws a dollar at them.

[LooseCanon 1,481]

Didn’t we throw dollars at them?

Don't get it. PS Plus is a requirement to play RDO in the first place. So this is more of an "up yours x-box players rather than oh you are so good ps4 players".

I'll be uploading the different camp themes and tents in a moment, if anyone's interested. May take a little while though, since it's just under 15 minutes. Each tent has quite a quick look, but enough to know whether you can go inside or not, that kind of thing. Tried to keep it daytime as well. Will post in the video thread when it's done.

So the last tent right before the video ended, it looked like there was a sit prompt. Sit where?

I'm guessing it'll only apply to the character attached to the PSN profile that has a PS+ subscription. Eg. I'll get the bonuses but my wife, whose profile goes online through my PS+, probably won't.

[LooseCanon 1,481]

Just played the baron game, if you can get on the train it’s not so bad, that’s a big if though, I got on several times but a posse were on and they just killed everyone, made it pretty pointless.

Not complaining since I'm on PS4, but yeah makes no sense since Plus is a requirement anyway. I want to see more bonuses for those that bought the Ultimate Edition, regardless of platform. 

[happygrowls 10,715]

ps4 exclusive content that xbox players either won't get or will have to pay $200+ for
