Today’s game is Red Dead Online. I had a bunch of screenshots but Rockstar makes it annoying to get ahold of them. So i had to supplement for some clips i took instead.
Lately i’ve been wanting to play RDO, as December is one of my favorite times to play this game because the entire map is covered in Snow. Me and a friend got on and took a ride all the way up to Ambarino. After messing around at the waterfall for a bit (see exhibit A)
We rode up to Saint Denis. I would like to say i got some really pretty screenshots of the city, but Rockstar’s Social Club compresses the camera photos to hell and back. So instead here’s a clip of me trying to climb some scaffolding in the city and falling to my death:
After that we went to Valentine and got into a Shootout with the cops. Here’s a Screenshot from outside the Saloon after i discovered how to obtain Molotov Cocktails and Dynamite. I try to avoid involving other players unless they join in, so no one else was shot at (or in town really for that matter). I know that’s like the whole antithesis of a wild west outlaw-like game like this, but i try to treat other players how i would want to be treated. so i try to avoid actively picking a fight.
After that we went to Annesburg to hang my Friend’s Horse for crimes against us during the shootout:
As it turns out. It is very hard to get a horse in the Gallows. After that we chose to sign off, as my collision was doing some wacky stuff and it was late anyways.
Me and a group of friends have a tradition of playing RD:O on thanksgiving. This year we had 6 preople, and after about 2 hours of trying we had to give up. No matter what we did we were unable to find a working server, they all had issues. Couldn’t call horses, weapons wouldn’t equip, some of us weren’t appearing to others, it was a mess. It’s such a charming game and world that’s let down by Rockstar’s servers and not being able to host your own locally. I might try to see about using RedM next year, but that’s extra work I’m not certain people will want to do.
Rockstar’s Abandonment of the game sucks. They don’t moderate anything and it’s buggy sometimes. I’ve never had an issue like what you’re describing but I’ve been hit with wonky collision and My friend had an issue where a hacker replaced his arms with Flame Throwers. It was funny, but also annoying.
