Yeah you got work to do.

I hope they release some good expansions for this since I’m not really into online gaming.
 
I went online after playing just the story for awhile and jumped right into race horsing, there was this guy in the lobby and during the race trying to get everyone wait until there was maybe 3-4mins(I seriously can't remember) before they finish the race, he said the first person would get something $30 and everyone else would get $13 and we should all take turns.
Everyone pretty much ignored him, and just kept racing and he was like" Ok, I guess nobody wants to make money on this game."

I logged off soon after that.
They better drop some single player stuff, but I doubt they will, online feels like it's always gonna be in beta and finally moves to stable when GTA 6 drops. Just have this weird feeling
 
Yeah I’m playing again too. No desire to go online. My psn is expired anyways and I don’t really care.
 
I'll admit, I was ready to sell this game ASAP due to how boring the beginning was, but I'm glad I forced myself through the first few hours of western caravan simulator in order to get to the real game :pimp:

Just finished it yesterday :frown:
 
I misspoke. I finished the 6 and epilogues .havent touched the game since. Is there any value in grinding for last full 100% completion? I think I'm at 80 without being too specific.
 
Spent an hour getting the fish lure, rowing, finding the spot in Lagras with the legendary fish, caught the fish, get back on land and get murked but an alligator... fml
 
To all my fishing bros..I had it down to a science after a while.

1) Make sure you are using the right bait/lure, once I got the legendary lures the right fish bit 99% of the time

2) Wait until the game tells you to press L2 (the icon will move)

3) Use your thumb to slowly rotate the right analog, but once a fish bites, use your index and middle finger. Makes things WAY easier. (Also only bring the left analog in for two seconds at a time while reeling)
 
huge update came this week.....for online
not enough to entice me to return, may just sign on because maybe I missed some dough or gold bars
NEW GAMEPLAY

Earn Gold Nuggets and XP for completing Daily Challenges, a new series of wide-ranging objectives covering everything from skinning animals to finding treasure, winning feuds and more. Pull up the Player Menu to see your 7 Daily Challenges that will rotate each day, each challenge earns Gold Nuggets and XP and completing all 7 earns you a bonus.

Starting next week, compete with rival teams and Posses in the new Free Roam Event Fool’s Gold, where players fight to wear a protective suit of Golden Armor. Take down the current wearer to earn the armor and points, then turn the tables and rack up kills against the opposition.

And looking ahead, new game modes will arrive in the Red Dead Online Beta each week. Put your highwayman skills to the test with Target Races as you race other players on horseback to take down targets with speed and accuracy. Proficiency with a bow and arrow will give you an edge, take advantage of weapon and horse stamina pickups where you can, use your limited bullets wisely to remove targets or your attack your competition.
Take on friends and rivals in new Fishing Challenges. Opt in to a challenge to receive the appropriate equipment and bait, head to the water’s edge and start reeling in the big ones.

For added ease, use Eagle Eye to pick a spot full of fish. Remember, you’re trying to catch the highest total weight of fish to win – which could be achieved by hooking several smaller fish or angling for one large catch - so keep everything you reel in.

Also coming soon: three new Showdown Modes where players and teams compete to capture and deliver bags, steal loot from each other and survive.

Stay tuned for more details around Up in Smoke, Spoils of War and Plunder. With the addition of these new modes also comes the Featured Series blip - visit the Featured Series sign post or from the Quick Join menu to play the latest modes.
NEW WEAPONS

The Rare Shotgun is a beautifully engraved, faded brass version of the powerful, double-barreled longarm and is available today. Coming soon, be sure to get your hands on the Evans Repeater - a high grade, high capacity rifle that is devastating at medium and long range. Both weapons will be available via the Wheeler & Rawson Catalogue and from local Gunsmiths.

NEW CLOTHING

Treat yourself to a range of new Outfits, Boots, Coats, Gloves, Hats, Vests and more. In addition to all the clothing that will be available for purchase at your leisure, keep an eye on the shops and the Catalogue for Limited Time items that will come and go each week.

NEW EMOTES

Express yourself with a new set of emotes including new reactions, greets and taunts. Like all Emotes, you can tap once for the standard emote and double tap for a more exaggerated expression. You can find new Emotes in the Wheeler & Rawson Catalogue then add them to your Emote Wheel through the Emote Wheel Management menu.
WORLD ENHANCEMENTS

Updated Player Radar and Visibility: We’ve reduced the visibility of players blips over longer distances, so now your location won’t display to other players unless you are nearby – minimizing the likelihood of being targeted across the map by more aggressive competitors. This includes limiting voice chat to near proximity rather than players from across the map. Overly aggressive players will be highlighted from the map with a progressively darkening dot. If your style of play becomes more hostile, your map position (including your Posse members) will become darker and visible from further away.

Easier Parley and Feuds: Turn quarrels with other players into timed mini-deathmatches with easier to trigger Feuds, which can be initiated against a rival and their Posse after one kill. Alternately, instigate a temporary truce quicker after one kill with similar updates to the Parley system.

Enhanced Law and Bounty System: If you stir up enough trouble to earn a high bounty, you’ll increase the chance that a cadre of NPC Bounty Hunters will be out to get you. The higher the bounty gets, the more persistent your pursuers will become… so watch out!

Please keep the feedback coming as these new features arrive each week. In addition to new content, stay tuned for new weekly bonuses such as this week’s care package to help you tackle Daily Challenges and your other ongoing adventures across the five states. Head into the Red Dead Online Beta any time before Tuesday March 5th to receive a complimentary delivery of goods at your Camp’s Lockbox or at the Post Office consisting of:

2x Potent Snake Oil, 2x Potent Bitters, 2x Potent Miracle Tonic, 2x Horse Reviver, 2x Potent Horse Stimulant, 8x Poison Arrows, 10x Explosive Slug

PS4 EARLY ACCESS CONTENT

Starting today, PlayStation 4 players will have early access to the Jawbone Knife, a unique melee weapon with a handle artfully carved from the remains of a slain animal’s jaw, as well as a range of new clothing options and three new emotes. In the coming weeks, PlayStation 4 players will get the Special Series that launches them directly into the latest early access mode starting with Open Target Races where you compete in an open space to take out the most targets on horseback.

Stay tuned each week for new content, bonuses, limited time clothing and more coming in and out of the Red Dead Online Beta and keep an eye out for more updates as we continue improving and growing the world of Red Dead Online.
 
Got back into this and man it is a fun game. Haven’t been playing the missions just going around and doing random things. Trying to study all the animals in the game.
 
HUGE update to online
https://www.rockstargames.com/newsw...Updates-New-Missions-Poker-and-The-Road-Ahead

More in that link, but some highlights:

POKER:pimp::pimp::pimp:
Visit poker tables at towns and outposts across the map to challenge your friends to a private, invite-only game of Hold ’Em. Or, raise the stakes and take a seat at a public table, where the buy-ins and rewards are even higher. All poker tables seat up to 6 players, available in 5 locations: Blackwater, Saint Denis, Tumbleweed, Valentine and Flatneck Station.

Free Roam Missions
Free Roam Missions also expand today with new characters from the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a variety of new and diverse mission types. Bring your Posse to meet with Thomas the Skiff Captain down in Bayou Nwa for some honest work or visit the disconcertingly hospitable Aberdeen Pig Farmers to get your hands extremely dirty, and look out for more characters to appear soon.

Posse Vs Posse Challenges
Competitive fishing is now available on-demand in one of three new Posse Versus Challenges. Posse leaders can simply use the Player Menu to trigger intra-Posse competitions to reel in the biggest catch before the timer runs out in the Biggest Fish Contest, down the most flying birds in the Bird Shooting Contest, or gather the most plants in the Herb Picking Contest.

Dynamic Events
As you make your way across the frontier, you may happen across townsfolk and travelers in need of assistance, or opportunists looking to prey on lone riders. Stay sharp and keep an eye out, many of these encounters offer XP, Honor, Cash and even Gold rewards.
