After playing this game for over 200 hours, I would like to share my review.
Unfortunately, the online version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has significant issues.
The servers frequently crash, which results in the loss of progress, loot, mission data, and other.
While the story mode of RDR2 is exceptional, with many engaging features, especially related to horses and camps, the online experience is quite disappointing.
Taming wild horses in RDR2 Online does not allow you to bond with or sell them, they are essentially unusable. You cant remove the saddle and hitch your horse in your camp, like in the story mode, only certain breeds are viable for speed and health, and these breeds are costly, often requiring significant amounts of in game gold.
The Arabian horse, valued at around 40 gold bars, is considered the best, but acquiring it can be pain.
Earning gold bars in RDR2 Online is difficult, due to the cheaters.
Many lobbies are plagued with individuals who exploit the game by exploding players, teleporting, spawning zombies, or stealing from missions and other.
Although stealing is part of the game, these cheaters are often untargetable or immune to damage, and they can crash your game or even your PC.
Reporting these players does not lead to action, as Rockstar seems to overlook these for some reason.
I wish Rockstar would focus on resolving these problems by improving server stability, banning cheaters, and supporting a fair environment for regular players.
Despite these issues, Rockstar has not reduced the prices for gold bars in their online shop, which I find surprising.
The story mode remains excellent, but playing online requires patience and hope that you will find a lobby free of cheaters.
It’s unfortunate that a game that nearly won a Game of the Year award has been abandoned in terms of ongoing support and improvements.
I hope that someday Rockstar will update the game, fix the servers, ban cheaters, and introduce more story content and jobs, allowing players to enjoy the game through farming, grinding, and engaging in new activities.
