When jobs pay an average of $1

And oat cakes cost 4 missions.grrrr

 

Your horse comes when you whistle... eventually. Slow AF. You can outrun your horse when he's coming to you.

 

Camps despawn and the only way to get them back is to pay to pitch a new one.

Not being able to pop up a camp wherever you like. 

 

Poor payouts. 

 

Towns are war zones. 

 

The whole thing just seems like a buggy auto aim run and gun free for all. 

 

Not sure what the point of the stores are when so much can just be ordered from a catalogue and delivered to your camp. 

 

Bow and rod are level locked.

In my experience they just move?

Not doubting you,just haven't had them despawn.

Whistle multiple times. They have 5 levels of running speed when you whistle for them. 

 

This is a story mode feature that likely made it into Online as well.

It's GTA:O all over again, even with the crap payouts, horse insurance and mute characters...

 

R* doesn't f*cking learn, so screw it, I'm not giving them the satisfaction of playing this sh*tshow once it's available.

^^ Pretty much; and Fun2 was right about lassos being a griefing tool in-game.

 

Already seen an example of that happening on a live stream.

Could this become a full blown Bitch and Moan thread?

Let me be one of the first to make that happen:

 

So far RDO is most unsatisfactory. It's bad. The way I see it, R* needs to basically revamp the entire online portion. If this is gonna be "it", then I'm gonna be a hard pass.

 

Edit: Some of my main concerns...

 

  • Forced PvP sessions only. War zones galore!
     
  • Running full speed looks like a glitching Duracell bunny.
     
  • Very low payouts, expensive everything. Half of the stuff locked behind gold bars (MTX).
     
  • The concerning return of those "beloved" adversary modes. Really R*, that's your focus this time as well? PvP, PvP, PvP, PvP......
     
  • You can't "lock" your horse permanently. Every time you join a new session, your horse settings get reset back to default (everyone can ride your horse).

 

It looks like Herr Strauss [Zelnick] came back to collect our money off of us once more... What a dull pay-fest!

Yeah. I know. And no. It didn't work that way this morning. Maybe buggy.

Towns and roads feel empty throughout the day as it looks like the pedestrian and wagon/horse count has been dropped. Trains seem rare to come by.

 

Most of the gambling games have been removed, and the towns feel less interactive. Quest-givers are talking to a blank wall of a character yet again.

 

I was really hoping that Online could be my continuation of free-roam after the epilogue.

So the newswire says microtransactions can be used to buy gold bars that can be used for cosmetics. But based on the complaints here gold bars are necessary for non cosmetics as well.  Are they straight up lying to our face?

@The Holy Diver

 

Is it possible to change title and make this the official b&m thread? 

It's always easy to spot on GTA side, maybe it's the * in the title.

I still have hope for it. Rockstar is relying on fan input. We’re inclined to tell them what we want.

The Posse system is complete f*cking garbage. 

 

Your GTA Online and Max Payne 3 crews don't carry over. Instead you have to create a Posse, which can only have a max of 7 people and disbands when you leave the lobby. 

 

Unless you pay $200 f*cking dollars to make it a permanent Posse, where the max amount of players is still 7.

Lonely-Martin

Still can't play. Been a solid half day now and still R* services unavailable!

No poker? Noooo.

Copied most of my post from another thread.

 

The payouts are laughably small. Grind fest by design.

 

Dual currency. Gold is earned at a ridiculously slow rate. Completely geared towards buying gold with real money.

 

Some items are priced way too high. Might be an artificial way to balance the beta, but still.

 

No lobby options, at all. 100% public only.

 

Free aim and auto aim players in the same lobby. WTF.

 

Character creator is a bunch of body type presets, preset head and face features plus some complexion options. I still prefer it to the ancestors GTAO system, but it isn't nearly comprehensive enough.

 

Griefing/killing other players seems to have little deterrent, if any at all. Players running around towns in huge gunfights with no police presence that I can see. I got killed in Valentine, near the stable, I killed the guy 3 times, then got killed again. No wanted, no bounty, nothing. this was all on and around the main Street.

 

The lasso, haven't seen it first hand, but from the video I watched on YouTube it looks like a complete nightmare.

Damn, was looking forward to it.

Reading stuff like this, makes it look like gtao 2.0 though.

 

I will jump in tomorrow and decide for myself, but this doesn't sound good.

Bucket helmets... exist in RDO.

 

(yes, you read that correctly)

 

They look as pathetic as they sound.

 

*face palms*
