so many shallow activities in a beautiful playground.

RDO in a nutshell!

Max Payne 3 should be back compat by now!

I didn't expect anything mind-blowing from this "massive" update they said...an almost 5gb update!  What a bunch of bs!  So, I guess I got what I expected and wasn't as disappointed this time around.  So sad.

On the bright side, I am glad that they added a gun locker at camp and the ability to access your cooked meat in the item wheel in story mode!  Still lovin' story mode!

Pretty sad to see that the only activity at this place is a few of us complaining about RDR!  LOL...it is what it is.

OK, Sile...I'll have to get back on PS4 soon...Xbox is getting boring anyway.

Thanks for replying....just wanted to give it one more try.

First and foremost, I sincerely hope that everyone is doing well during this virus outbreak. And whatever you are doing if you are in quarantine, that it hasn't got you down and you are doing something productive or creative to keep your spirits and sanity going strong! If you are home as a result of cut work hours...what a perfect time to catch up on gaming and any backlog you may have!  With that said, I have something to ask all of you.........

Being that RDO is completely dead now and this forum is even deader (is that a word?lol) I do hope that someone is reading this and will help me to pass it on to members and friends of the RDR community!   This will be my last attempt to getting everyone (or some) back to playing RDO....I have an idea and if it doesn't work...I won't bother you guys ever again.  Here goes....

Some of you may or may not know about a (sort of) glitch that can create a private public lobby on RDO. I have been doing this the last couple of days and it's been GREAT!  The lobby runs smoothly LOTS of stuff spawns regularly and you have the peace of mind of a grief-free session! Do I have your attention?  Keep reading.....

A while back before online came out Chalk had a great idea for tournaments, but it never took off...mostly due to no interest and the fact that Rockstar omitted the option of private lobbies!  Well now, I think we can make this happen....or at least have a couple of meetups.....or whatever.... using this private lobby glitch!  If you still play RDO and if you were hoping that Rockstar adds private sessions or someone comes up with a 100% full-proof, permanent private lobby glitch....this is the time to get back playing and get together with friends! I know some of you are already leveled up and have bought everything in the game...bla, bluh, blah!  So what?! Get off yer arses and at least get together once in a while to play this game. Reinstall it if you have to!

I will try to post a message like this on other social media we have as well as in the Xbox club and PS4 community. If and that's a big IF, people are interested in the glitch and getting together once in a while...I am willing to host sessions on either Xbox or PS4. I have a second xbox and account so, I don't need help doing the glitch, but on PS4, I would need at least one other person to help me and that person can stay for 5 minutes or 5 hours and/or get re-invited back to that private session.

Requirements:  you must have access to poker and only up to 6 people can be in each private session. You can do everything you normally do in a free roam session except story missions, Legendary bounties or PvP modes or anything that takes you out of that session. But, you can still do those and get an invite back to the private session if you wish.

If you've read this far...thank you and I hope you at least consider dusting off your saddles and getting back to playing RDO again...before this glitch gets patched!

Whatever you do, have a great day and stay well!

I will not deny that RDO has been broken from the start! The addition of microtransactions and Rockstar pushing gold purchases are not what everyone wanted and turned many players away...which was very disappointing and unfortunate.  I admit I have been very negative about online for a long time...but, deep down I am still hoping it can make a turnaround.  RDO has SO MUCH potential for being the game everyone loves!  The roles have been a big improvement. Yes, it is a big grind...but what game isn't? Yea, some games are more grindy than others and RDO is right there at the top. I usually give RDO a break to play other games like GTAV and I am totally enjoying Death Stranding...I play some silly mindless games like Goat Simulator and My Friend Pedro. Then I can go back to RDO for a fresh start again.

I don't know how long RDO will last as far as keeping the player's interest with new things. How much more wild west stuff can they add?  I doubt it will outlast the popularity of GTAV Online, but I hope more good things are ahead. Personally, I continue my grind with making money and gold because I think (I hope) more big things will be added to purchase. (As I've said before, collecting is THE BEST way to make money fast!)  Give it time.....the game's only been out for a little over a year.

And, I agree the decline in activity here at the forums is unfortunate. Things happen, people move on to other things or just...life happens. I have found Twitter to have a great RDR community and you even get to interact with some of the voice actors from the RDR2 story. Pretty cool!

Hi, punt...glad to see you stop by!

Yea, there's explosive ammo and arrows in RDO...same as the old boomstick in RDR1!  People love to grief with that, but I only use it for protection on delivery runs or while I'm doing my collectibles.  Hope you are doing well, too!

What they need to add is private/invite only sessions!  I keep hearing hints and rumors and I hope they are true! That's THE only thing that will open up creative things to do with friends without griefers ruining your activities. The addition of Rockstar Editor to story and/or online would be great along with a good photo mode!

It's really a shame that they didn't include private sessions from the start...maybe so many people wouldn't have dropped online.

Sile, I really don't like grinding all that much either, it gets so boring after a while! All that work you have to do for the trader role...hunting, getting supplies and waiting for the product to build up only to have it destroyed in a matter of minutes by some tryhard!  I think you would like the collector role (that's my favorite) you can collect items as you go or follow a map (online). You can sell them individually or in collections. It's a really fast way to rank up and make good money with little effort! If you get shot by a griefer while doing it, they can't steal your stuff you collected.

Now THIS is creative! If this doesn't get anyone interested in DS... I don't know what will!
