As a player that religiously plays an overly overweight man, my spirit is broken by the fact that I could've saved so much moah muneh if mah beans were discounted. Now all I eat is 20 cans of apricots and peas a day because its cheaper
I’m gonna save you 10 minutes. Red dead online is still running, people just aren’t playing as much because there’s no new content. Nothing has changed.
Online barely functions. Your horse can take 15 minutes to spawn. Wildlife and npcs don't spawn. Freeroam missions don't load. The game is in fact, dead.
Same with outfits behind gta+. I want Nutcracker and Reindeer outfits. And chamelion paints on wheels... And limited time outfits.... They literally did with beer hats after limited crate drop in public thst everyone fight for it. They should do that instead of wasting space in gamefiles.
@@taurengraybeard218 Well you can still play it online, and there's still plenty of people who play online, Rockstar just gave up making content for it.
@@taurengraybeard218sure, and don't get me wrong, single player is an absolute masterpiece imo, however, rockstar neither released a single player dlc, nor any meaningful online content... they abandoned the game on both ends.
@@codyrussell5582yew but the online feels incomplete, no player homes (besides camp) no robberies, the online main story was never finished, alot of the content in rdo feels barebones
The worst part is that the part of me that thinks this game is saveable wont ever go away. Such a tragedy. I was such a fan for so long.. and probably always will remain one.
@@MrChrisBarkerWell i and majority dont. GTA Online is objectively better. GTA Online 2.0 will be far better. RDO has nothing to do in game. No planes, no helis, too slow and dragging on big map. Nothing to do on big map than playing boring missions. And they did cut further missions from the game like Jessica LeClerk revenge missions. 3 villain characters left that never will be revealed... This is proof of having realism in game is objectively boring and abandoned very fast.
@@MrChrisBarker I hate Online too. Its not a kids game. Its a mature game. I couldnt believe parents get them mature game and heard father of kid who was rude to others telling he has rights to get him a mature game and no one should care abt that. Adults also are behaving like kids too.
Rockstar killed RDO before they even gave it a chance to shine. They were sitting on a goldmine but decided to keep dumping every cent they made into GTA.
Yeah you will and that's the problem. They could release RDR3 underdeveloped & neglected after GTA 6 will have been in development/focused on for over 10 years and we would all rush to lap it up like simple minded thirsty dogs 😂 Rockstar may be sorry af for the Red Dead neglect and ignoring fans, but fans are fickle af anyway. It's a matter of personal opinion as far as chicken or egg goes 🤗
i will never forgive rockstar for how shitty they treated us and this game. i cannot fathom why they would abandon their best title to DATE in favor for a 10 year old game. what’s more frustrating, is how they didn’t even give RDO the time it needed to grow just like GTAO did. rockstar isn’t the same company they used to be and it’s sad. they created an absolute MASTERPIECE to just abandon it like it’s nothing. fuck rockstar.
You can’t put all the blame on rockstar though. Take2 pulled most of the people working on RDO to work on gta6 because people were bitching about it not being out yet. Idk though
The brains behind RDR2 and RDO all left and the new people had no idea how to keep it going. Just about all the updates the last year or so were created by the people who were no longer there.
styxtx4099 provides an answer of which I am not aware, but if GTAO which is +10 years old is prioritized over RDO, it is because it brings in more money, because yes, the GTAO universe has more possibility for creates new things, in a recent/future universe, that RDO has from an ancient era, is more limited option. But even if I understand this aspect of financial return, I am of the same opinion that the game was not exploited to the maximum and that it is a waste
Players on console usually fill up an entire server but you'll typically never find the players unless you're in Valentine or Saint Denis, and sometimes in Black Water, thats at least for me
I find them everywhere except in the snow area and rhoads had a lasso match in armadillo. gun fight in valentine, strawberry, and McFarland ranch. Griefers circle of death in Saint denis. Friendly hunterimg dudes in annisburg. Only a holes in tumbleweed I always get ran over there. With all the other smaller locations of interest just people passing going to and fro. For me the emerald ranch area has the least amount of players
yep its been dead bro. And if you think its not, i cant even begin to tell you about my rdo journey dude. It was amazing but shiiii i could enlighten you on some of my fav experiences or what i have been apart of in rdo. was co founder and co leader of a pvp crew, been in and around plenty of other hardcore pvp crews, would always have people inviting/joining me at all times throughout the day and night. I made friends in australia, UK, Russia, Arabs, etc. Ive made friends who are now irl friends, we still play the game together and other games as well and are all in a discord. We would duplicate legendary golden spirit bears which tbh we still do and just did like two weeks ago. We duplicate trader delivery wagons for max money and xp. we would do mini games such as tag, hide n seek, Steal the wagon, etc.. We would have someone host annual halloween and christmas wagon rides, and im not even joking, we would fill lobbies up for wagon rides, would have multiple full posses dressed up in costumes and spirit, and just enjoy time together. have fun joke around.. and im not even joking we would have a "help" or "ally" chat and someone would post that they needed help, and within minutes there would be a full posse+ to backup and fight off the griefers. We had booter friends to counter other booters, we would have strictly sos players who literally all they would do was war and fight. join on them they're in a 4 posse was in great plains, there would be off radars, god modes, just crazy stuff that i dont affiliate with. I was heavy on pvp but i didnt do off radar or god mode so i would leave if someone fought me like that cause its annoying. anyways, TRUTH IS RDO WAS AND IS MORE THAN JUST A GAME.. ITS A WHOLE OTHER WORLD INSIDE OF A TV. id see people i havent seen in awhile and wed catch up for a sec, Like bro you have no idea. It was so easy to meet people too. and it was hard to find dead lobbiesor even lobbies under 20 people. now its rare to find a 20+ lobby :( I truly miss this game I am so passionate about it and have so many damn memories. I took prime rdo for granted and miss it immensely.
I finally gave up waiting for R* to fix the broken lobbies and now play on a solo lobby. 3 months of not being able to call my horse or hunt anything was enough.
I have turned RDO into my “relaxing” game, which is hilarious considering how it used to be. I now use the game to enjoy the scenery, hunt, fish, and take my horse on trails off the beaten path.
I genuinely do the exact same thing. Decided to retire my level 233 character * I just started playing on my female PC account (Level 43) to just chill and wind down for the most part.
Wild to see a studio abandon their critically acclaimed game that everyone agrees is a masterpiece just to go back to making content for the inferior game they released half a decade earlier. Only studio to ever do that and they did it to the detriment of the players.
@@Ligmaballin you are not comprehending me. I said the online half was left incomplete. the singleplayer story was nailed one of the greatest of all time. specifically, the online roles and main storyline are just left unfinished the final story you shootout in blackwater and the dude's wife that betrayed leclerk is still at large there were supposedly more to that but it sits years untouched a real stain on the game on the multiplayer side sadly
The RDO servers are still up but Rockstar stopped rolling out DLC. People say that so many games are dead when they still have a smaller but dedicated community. The game isn’t dead until the servers are shut down.
I remember playing rdo in 2020 everyday, was the most fun I had in a long time. No other game and world like it and I’ll never forgive rockstar for abandoning it. It deserves so much more
100% this. I've exhausted GTAO since 2013 to 2024, and really love the game. But I recently went back and got really into RDO. And I can honestly say RDO is the far superior online experience.
Well it maybe on rockstars end the players don't help when everyone is flat out avoiding for fear of being shot it's like gta online without the dead part but rockstar absolutely killed rdr2
Stopped playing years ago now, but got to level 200 something, enjoyed the updates as infrequent as they were, maxed most roles, completed all passes except last 2, played pvp matches as hectic and cringe as they were, joined in lobby wide pvp battles etc and even got a few hundred gold from doing cougar pelt glitches with all the new people I met. RDO was one of the games that carried me through covid and I met a bunch of new people during it. I enjoyed it while it lasted but it died with covid. Such a waste of potential for such a well made world
I literally dressed my character like a pimp. Literally all red with that big pimp hat lol RDO is not historically accurate nor is main game. Its been debunked by expert on yt. Yet ignorants say game has "realism" lol Guns didnt cost hundreds of dollars back in those days.
Washwood Fur Coat (same what this guy wears) is literally pimp coat. Thats what i wear and its best item in game. Wish its on pc too but only through modding could be unlocked unfortunately...
@@ningkon3787 No its not at all. Bullet in western time was a literal death and there was no cure for many stuffs. Even a small wound would be death to ya.
It says a lot when I’ve seen the poker tables be more active than the open world Genuinely I feel like there’s a huge amount of people still playing it just for a good online poker simulator
It’s really sad-almost everyone I used to play with has stopped playing. I still enjoy riding around, role-playing, and helping out new players, or sometimes I switch to one of my other characters. But the reality is, nothing new will ever be added to the game. Over time, more and more players will leave, and we’ll have to say goodbye to what could’ve been something truly great. I’m rank 985 on my main character, so my personal goal is to hit rank 1000, but it would’ve been so much better if there were new content to enjoy. As Jessica LeClerk said, 'We deserved so much better, but this is what we got. This is what we all got.'
Same here I always play on weekends the game never gets old can’t believe rockstar gave up on such a masterpiece, I enjoy playing this more then playing any other game on my ps5 rather play this then grand theft auto any day!!
So sad, this game had so much potential. Bank/train robberies, gang hideout robberies, ranching (owning your own ranch raising kettle selling by large numbers) breeding horses with increasing stats depending on breed mixes or half/pureblood status. Just a few ideas I spammed at Rockstar over several years... 😢
Currently in an online session, there is no one else online. Rockstar had such an amazing possibility to make a good rdr2 online game and yet they chose not to do so.
@@R_ohit I personally do not think its worth it by any means. But pursue what ever you want to do. But coming from someone who has it, I would not recommend buying.
The nail in the coffin for me, is when they updated the game to where you and every player in the whole game now has to go into the audio settings and select "Proximity Chat: ON" , the proximity chat was no longer a default setting for every player. Now in order to speak to other players that you encounter in the game, you will have to hope that they know about the setting change to voice chat and have their setting selected to ON. In that past, had met lots of good players and friends through the years of playing RDR2O thanks to the Proximity Chat specifically. Now, it feels like that type of opportunity to encounter and speak to cool players and make friends wont be possible as much or at all anymore. RIP
@@mr.dome.gaming7103 im thinking of buying rdo for pc but people say its full of cheaters should i buy? i really like red dead redemption 2 i played it a lot in game center
I wish Rockstar would sell the rights and sourcecodes for the game to other developers. There must be money to be made in the future on this franchise for a devoted develoer, it is after all one of the most popular games ever. I have owned the game for years but only discovered the joy of it earlier this year because my daughter is a fan. I really don't believe it will steal players from GTA because they have different player groups. I myself have never gotten hooked on GTA, even though I have started several times and I know plenty of people wo play it.
Gta was cool for the single player, but online has a much bigger griefer issue given there you can flx or roll in with tanks. In RDR you always got a chance to win or get out. And it offers a much more relaxing and enjoyable Multiplayer, and the Single player id propably Rockstars best story as of yet.
I read that a player had created the entire map in 4k. Rockstar sure him, and now he can no longer create any content of any kind. Rockstar just wanted to watch their beautiful world burn.
Maaaaan, I remember watching this channel when the game came out 5 years ago, when I was 16. I stopped playing online around 2021 and yesterday I finished the main story and was remembering a RDO channel I used to watch when I played online, the only thing I remembered was the youtuber having a slavic accent. And now I found the channel accidentally thanks to the recommendations, I feel so nostalgic now.
I love RDO but I stopped playing about 7 months ago because there's nothing I want to buy, and all my jobs are maxed. The biggest reason I left is because I was tired of constantly being harrassed, and blown into the air constantly exploding. or people coming up blowing up my horse with all my pelts on it.
Play in a solo lobby if you are on PS4. It is easy to do, I got fed up with players running to Emerald station to go into god mode & A holes coming into camp and lassoing me.
You can call me dramatic but it's honestly heartbreaking. I've had some of my favorite gaming memories in RDO and always saw potential and hope in it. People were whining about "Where is housing?? Heists?? NEW ISLAND??" just a few months in, but this game just deserved ANYTHING at all. If they gave us 2-3 missions and actual new items to acquire I'd be happy for another few months.
And look, I'm extremely excited for GTA VI. But in the long-term there is still a chance that RDO could've ended up mattering more to me. It was such a unique, amazing, atmospheric experience with a great community (for the most part) and PvP Cat and Dirty Tyler videos.
@@FlasKameldon’t forget the professional, he has been I’d say a big part of rdo’s growth he’s passionate about the game even livestreams it every Friday
@@oofmaster1003 I disagree with him too much so it wasn't natural for me to mention him. I think PvP and Tyler have brought more positivty about the game thus recruiting more players instead of focusing too much on what the game didn't have too early on. I think the focus on what RDO was lacking did more harm than good even if the intentions were good.
Id Dutch was there, he would have told Rockstar: Have some goddamn faith, the game needs 1 big score. And it’s true, if Rockstar would focus on train robberies, heists etc the game would most likely rise above a lot of games with returning players.
I haven't played since 2022, but before I stopped I got so bored having almost everything that I started bagging legendaries and handed them off to new players I could find(better than griefing like most resort to). Still two years later I'm sad there isn't anything being done for the game that had a ton of potential, but instead opting to milk blood from their cash Cow smh.
It’s a real shame, rdo helped me escape life during covid times, the passing of my 17y old cats and now it’s almost a year we are at war with monsters in our country and again rdo is my escape. I think this game is a true masterpiece, I’ve been playing four or five years and I’m level 970. I have no special wardrobe or masks for my horse but I do have some good friends and I enjoy every bit of this game. I’d like also to thank you Cat, been following you for a long while, you pain for rdo is understandable and contagious.
Hi, I just wanted to address something. so Red Dead Online is still currently getting monthly updates, but it’s not by rockstar. It’s by a small team of just three people that I know. They only get on once a month to change the event month, they told me that they wish that the game was more alive than what it is
@@Nalo777 Hi sorry for taking a bit to respond, Yeah they have been trying to convince rockstar to bring back some old stuff but to no avail, The small group is also known for creating mods for Single player and wanted to implement their Knowledge for Online, They are extremely talented and there the reason the Online Mode gets Updates at all.
@@Nichking04 Idk why someone's comment is hidden, while it is a good question, but I will ask it for him. Is the people running the events like the same people that run R* support? Is it community members?
Rockstar is a HORRIBLE game company, they ignore their fans, they simply don't care. I will never buy another rockstar game again, because Rockstar doesn't deserve my patronage, nor do they deserve anyones.
Meanwhile GTA VI is about to break the gaming world. Its a long shot, but if they care, they will get back to RDR Online after the GTA VI release... ☠️

@@wooldooriansokbatus5222 I calculate the chances of this happening to be seventy one million to one. Rockstar is simply a money hungry greedy company driven purely by how much they can make off one game in a short span of time, hence why they abandoned Read Dead Redemption Two. If you believe they would come back to it as opposed to milking the Grand Theft Auto cash cow for every drop it can dispense while doing absolutely nothing beneficial for their community like they normally do...I'm afraid you're entirely mistaken. I am aware that, my particular unit model has not been entirely reliable with our calculations in the past, but I am certain that I am right.
This is why I play on custom servers via RedM. Found a great community with an active player-base and there's just so much more to do than the original RDO offered. The community was able to make a better game than rockstar actually was and it's so sad that the original game is dying off.
I still play RDO daily. It has become my relaxing, wind down from a long day game. Usually, I just stick to myself and complete the daily challenges. It's shame it has been abandoned considering how loyal their fanbase is and all that unused potential.
I'll go on to do dailies and collect. I'm rank 1000, have almost $2 million and have 3600 gold so there is nothing left to accomplish. I just do the dailies and collect so I can relax traveling around the map. I do use a private lobby because hackers aren't my idea of relaxing. The one time I went into a public lobby about 6 months ago I was being set on fire the second I joined. Screw that.
@LaLIRK i still play RDO because its still the most graphically beautiful gane and enjoy the nature. You cant really get the wild wild west experience anywhere else. I roleplay my own store. RDO takes place before the vanderlund gang.
I am scared for the day they make the game no longer playable and shut it down for good. This game has become my cozy game. I hunt, fish, collect and enjoy the beauty of the world they gave us. I don't want to lose access to this game.
Welp gonna hop on my ps4 and play on my level 580 character today, it makes me sad to think of a world without rd online when ive spent 6k hours of fun roaming around with friends, making friends and just enjoying ourselves. I really hope they never shut down the servers because its always been something i can hop on after a while and have fun and be a happy place for me :(
It's actually pretty understandable how it happened. - Rockstar got massive backlash for excessive crunch time during the development of RDR2 - they couldn't enforce crunch culture any longer after 2018, during the development of GTA VI - COVID in 2020-2021 further forced companies including Rockstar to reorganize work in less effective ways than before - which coincided with Dan Houser, the heart and soul of the RDR2 project, leaving the company in March 2020 - nearing 2023, the pressure from investors to release GTA VI became heavier as the 10-year anniversary of GTA V was getting close without even an announcement about the sequel game. All these put together makes the story of RDO's rapid and undeserved decline much more understandable from Rockstar's aspect, even though it doesn't make it any less sad from the aspect of gamers and fans.
I bet if R* communicated with there player base saying hold up guys where in trouble the players would understand , yet they gave us nothing at all in fact we got a big old "F@CK YOU PLAYERS WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR TIME AND EFFORT" they new all the time players where unhappy and just gave them the middle finger. Also why did they change the dailies ??? nothing more than greed to get new players to buy gold ....F@CK R* what they did was criminal driven by greed nothing else !!!!!!!
I stopped playing because lack of content rdr2 gave me an escape to nature without having to leave my home during some dark days and I’ll forever be grateful. It’s a shame to see the game abandoned by its creators. It will always hold a special place in my heart and the game will always be in my top 10 single player games just because you can’t top the story they made another reason it’s so sad to see it abandoned.
lack of content? LOL! Dude the game has over 200+ hours of content and once you do everything YOU MOVE ON to the next game. Not hard to understand. How can 200+ hours of content be "lacking". Give me a break conner.
@@coopstain1728 ?? I have 1000+ hours on rdr2/rdo? There’s a lack of content buddy. Sure there’s 200 hours of content but it’s just repeating the same thing over and over and over again there’s no originality. Blood money is just an overcooked version of the regular missions we already have which was the last big update. I have every item you can buy aside from some clothing there is no point to play a game when they haven’t added anything for long running players give me a coopstain you must be fairly new to the rdo scene
@@coopstain1728 gta online also gets more and more even still to this day they get updates and stuff so go talk to someone else bruv your a fool if u think rdo has content
@@connerSphotography GTA online is the SAME. You play for X amount of hours. You do everything and unlock everything and then you are done. Once you complete everything WHY keep playing? Dumb IMO. Move on to a new game. Not that hard. You cant just play one game forever and expect new content every month lol.
If they'd actually put stuff into it like properties, etc. Then people would want to play more. They milk GTA V because of cars, missiles, etc. It's disgusting.
people for years were BEGGING for things like ranches, ability to tame and sell wild horses (so they weren't quite literally useless to encounter while riding around), ability to grow and/or raise our own food and even own our own houses to decorate how we see fit! But no we get these dumb camps that cost real world money in certain aspects to upgrade and offer minimal to none buffs and bonuses to them
Rockstar is absolute greet trash of a company...but they will keep milking GTA Online, a toxic game ruined with a lot of things.....I'm really sad for this whole death phase....
If you have only one, inactive friend in your friend list, you could run game for one, and simply have fun in missions, that doesn't require more than one player (like most criminal organization or biker missions), and do not contact cheaters and no-lifers, who shoot you with flying bikes.
Y'all forget Rockstar's current baby is GTA6 which is supposed to come out next year... Most of 2024 is over if you hadn't noticed. Considering the resources they put into game development, I'd be surprised if the whole studio isn't working on GTA6 right now and feeling the pressure of looming deadlines.
RD2O died for the Three players In my Household back in July, 2024. We constantly had the Empty World bug… and we didn’t find a solution… Such is life.
I'm so happy I literally just began playing this game last month period. I'm only 16% complete in story mode and only 3 days ago began playing online( put it off thinking it was tyne same toxic gta lobbies) I'm pleased to say that I thought the game couldn't get more imersive and fun than story mode but now online is the most fun I've had playing any games since assassin's creed valhalla, and hogwarts legacy!!!
One of the rarest Online experiences where you could actually hop on with your friends & have fun just roaming around. If it had the support it needed & by that I mean if it actually got the proper content like Bank Robberies, Train Robberies & Heists in General (Real ones, not the dung they packaged into Blood Money) this game would have a looooooooong and happy life. Just thinking of the amount of content that could have been added makes me honestly want to shed a tear... Properties, Ranches, Gunsmith Businesses, a Mexico Expansion filled with even more content... It's honestly sad to see what it came to... But, GTA VI Is a priority, so it's no surprise this ended up happening & I can't complain on that end really as I do look forward to GTA VI, but in the end, this will forever be the saddest story in online gaming history... Cheers to everyone that made great memories playing RDO, maybe when RDRIII drops things will be different? (If Herr Strauss is dead by then, myb) :)
If you really cared about voting against anti-consumer business practices you'd vote with your wallet. You wouldn't play GTA VI. We shouldn't be allowing Rockstar and Take2 to get away with these practices. It WILL get worse.
Why the heck r they greedy? R they selling skins for solo story for real money? No! Maybe they selling their updates for money? No, it's free, gta and rdo both... Where is greedy then?
@@lafiestadelanoche5961one the games are not free. Two they are greedy because it’s clear they just people to spend as much as possible on RDO then move to GTA and spend more
I actually got addicted to this game when i first started playing. Literally took over my life 8-12 hrs plus a day for months on end. So depressing cause this couldve been better than GTA i think it was. Just wasnt developed enough.
Red dead was dead by year 2 when they literally lied to us and then abandoned a game for a milked GTA 5. If they added the houses and homes they promised us and maybe add some hot air balloons for travel the game would be booming still.
I'll continue to play as long as I can. It's such a beautiful game and, as you said, so relaxing. Some new content would be great but I don't really care that much. As long as the game is playable, I'll be there. What are the chances they'll do away with the severs and the game will no longer be playable?
You're part of problem. They bet on players that will play "just because." I rather give my money, time, and attention to devs that actually care about my gaming experience. I'll play story mode. But what's the point of playing a live service game that isn't making new content?
@ActionShortsPodcasts how are they part of the problem by enjoying something that they like along with others that like it? You have such a juvenile mindset, what's your favorite color? Not the same as mine? Then you're apart of the problem, get over yourself

Rockstar: you speak as if killing is something I cared about Players: you ever wonder about the player base, you should Rockstar: i hope it's broke and terrible otherwise I'll feel as though i've been sold a false bill of goods, now please give me that GTAO money Rockstar: either you got a lazy eye or a lack of respect, which is it boy. True Fan: I ain't got no lazy eye nor respect for the likes of you Rockstar: well maybe when the players are finished morning RDO, i'll keep RD1 in black on your behalf, you think on that boy True fan: well maybe you shall rockstar, and maybe other events will transpire Rockstar: you best stick to them old games because mark my words vengeance is an idiots game
My husband is a programmer, their management really likes to promise a lot of things to their clients, and then the workers have to work for months without days off and with 5 hours of sleep to make at least half of what was promised by the required date. Rock Star announced GTA6, I think they have the same rush job there, so all the developers were transferred to GTA6 to at least make it by the appointed year of release. There are also problems that many cannot withstand such a pace of work and quit, and in their place either no one is hired at all, or it takes a long time to hire, or inexperienced people are hired. As a result, the deadlines are shifted terribly and just each person in the company is only engaged in the main task, and all secondary tasks, even if they are also important, are discarded "until better times". The only thing that pisses me off in RDO PC is the cheaters: besides the fact that they mock, it is also impossible to play in the confrontations, because these idiots teleport where they need, or you can’t destroy them, or they have cheating ammunition, these confrontations are not interesting at all; and also in the fights in free mode: if you defeat them, they immediately have an infinite life. And there are a lot of such players. Why nothing has been done about this in 6 years is the biggest question for me, because it is definitely not explained by the lack of developers. There is monotony in the game, but I am that kind of person who will not get bored even within 4 walls.
I literally played RDO yesterday. It's not dead. People still play it. I ran into at least 20 players in total yesterday. Rockstar might not update it anymore, but it's still playable.
Blood Money is basically all the crew has to do now so it was a good update. But yeah this is so sad. Also it was added to Playstation Extra like 6 months ago which brought tons of new players
It’s a chestnut tovero mustang, (something like that), it’s one of the best horses in the game, the best for beginners since they don’t have good stirrups and saddles at low level
I played RDO once about a year ago, I was a bit late to get the game (big regret, this game is just awesome). I was in the game for maybe a half hour, did the tutorial stuff, and ventured into the world, and was immediately was harassed by a group of assholes. They clearly had been playing for a while, had good guns and horses, and I'm a newbie, and they just kept harassing and being dicks to the point I left and never went back. RDO is kept alive by the fans, and it was ruined by those same fans
Sorry to hear that. If you ever decide to play again, put on defensive mode and stay away from the towns. Other players are easy to avoid for the most part
@knightingale9833 I see what your saying, but then what's the point? The purpose was to be able to engage with other players and have fun as a community, unfortunately people are toxic assholes who belive fun should come at another expense. I heard mention in the video about private servers, and that sounds way like an option, but then your out the community aspect. Honestly, people just need to learn to stop being pieces of shit to one another and this world would be better off.
i’ve done everything in this game. made countless friends, been in clan wars, been booted offline, gotten $100k and it’s sad to see it die. i want it to have a come back, but i know it will never happen.
I just stopped playing as soon as I fired 6 shots and hit every single one in the opposing player's head without him going down from a longer distance using the bolt action rifle.
Rockstar killed the game by not giving discounts on beans anymore
The one and only reason

It's sad because they don't even listen to the community, so there's no point in trying to ask them to bring back the passes

Rockstar killed RDO before they even gave it a chance to shine. They were sitting on a goldmine but decided to keep dumping every cent they made into GTA.

i will never forgive rockstar for how shitty they treated us and this game. i cannot fathom why they would abandon their best title to DATE in favor for a 10 year old game. what’s more frustrating, is how they didn’t even give RDO the time it needed to grow just like GTAO did. rockstar isn’t the same company they used to be and it’s sad. they created an absolute MASTERPIECE to just abandon it like it’s nothing. fuck rockstar.
Facts
You can’t put all the blame on rockstar though. Take2 pulled most of the people working on RDO to work on gta6 because people were bitching about it not being out yet. Idk though
The brains behind RDR2 and RDO all left and the new people had no idea how to keep it going. Just about all the updates the last year or so were created by the people who were no longer there.
styxtx4099 provides an answer of which I am not aware, but if GTAO which is +10 years old is prioritized over RDO, it is because it brings in more money, because yes, the GTAO universe has more possibility for creates new things, in a recent/future universe, that RDO has from an ancient era, is more limited option. But even if I understand this aspect of financial return, I am of the same opinion that the game was not exploited to the maximum and that it is a waste
Get over urself dude.. they made a business decision.
Players on console usually fill up an entire server but you'll typically never find the players unless you're in Valentine or Saint Denis, and sometimes in Black Water, thats at least for me
I find them everywhere except in the snow area and rhoads had a lasso match in armadillo. gun fight in valentine, strawberry, and McFarland ranch. Griefers circle of death in Saint denis. Friendly hunterimg dudes in annisburg. Only a holes in tumbleweed I always get ran over there. With all the other smaller locations of interest just people passing going to and fro. For me the emerald ranch area has the least amount of players

BRUH I JUST STARTED PLAYING RED DEAD ONLINE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND PEOPLE SAY ITS DEAD?!?! WTF
Nah it’s an overreaction
yep its been dead bro. And if you think its not, i cant even begin to tell you about my rdo journey dude. It was amazing but shiiii i could enlighten you on some of my fav experiences or what i have been apart of in rdo. was co founder and co leader of a pvp crew, been in and around plenty of other hardcore pvp crews, would always have people inviting/joining me at all times throughout the day and night. I made friends in australia, UK, Russia, Arabs, etc. Ive made friends who are now irl friends, we still play the game together and other games as well and are all in a discord. We would duplicate legendary golden spirit bears which tbh we still do and just did like two weeks ago. We duplicate trader delivery wagons for max money and xp. we would do mini games such as tag, hide n seek, Steal the wagon, etc.. We would have someone host annual halloween and christmas wagon rides, and im not even joking, we would fill lobbies up for wagon rides, would have multiple full posses dressed up in costumes and spirit, and just enjoy time together. have fun joke around.. and im not even joking we would have a "help" or "ally" chat and someone would post that they needed help, and within minutes there would be a full posse+ to backup and fight off the griefers. We had booter friends to counter other booters, we would have strictly sos players who literally all they would do was war and fight. join on them they're in a 4 posse was in great plains, there would be off radars, god modes, just crazy stuff that i dont affiliate with. I was heavy on pvp but i didnt do off radar or god mode so i would leave if someone fought me like that cause its annoying. anyways, TRUTH IS RDO WAS AND IS MORE THAN JUST A GAME.. ITS A WHOLE OTHER WORLD INSIDE OF A TV. id see people i havent seen in awhile and wed catch up for a sec, Like bro you have no idea. It was so easy to meet people too. and it was hard to find dead lobbiesor even lobbies under 20 people. now its rare to find a 20+ lobby :( I truly miss this game I am so passionate about it and have so many damn memories. I took prime rdo for granted and miss it immensely.
Lol just now had a dude shoot canons from his revolver while godmode no wonder people dont play online @@VQTylo
I finally gave up waiting for R* to fix the broken lobbies and now play on a solo lobby. 3 months of not being able to call my horse or hunt anything was enough.
I have turned RDO into my “relaxing” game, which is hilarious considering how it used to be. I now use the game to enjoy the scenery, hunt, fish, and take my horse on trails off the beaten path.
I genuinely do the exact same thing. Decided to retire my level 233 character * I just started playing on my female PC account (Level 43) to just chill and wind down for the most part.
🎯until I gotta fight a full posse🤣
Same I just chill and put on my Spotify playlist called cowboy music in movies 😂
Yup and do collections to make money and hunt ….. then I get popped in the head by griefers. But I enjoy private mode

Even rotating the old Outlaw Passes would go a long way for newer players to have something worth striving for.
Fr. I've been playing since release but I never bought it and I would now if they released it
Wild to see a studio abandon their critically acclaimed game that everyone agrees is a masterpiece just to go back to making content for the inferior game they released half a decade earlier. Only studio to ever do that and they did it to the detriment of the players.

The RDO servers are still up but Rockstar stopped rolling out DLC.
People say that so many games are dead when they still have a smaller but dedicated community. The game isn’t dead until the servers are shut down.

100% this. I've exhausted GTAO since 2013 to 2024, and really love the game. But I recently went back and got really into RDO. And I can honestly say RDO is the far superior online experience.

Over time, more and more players will leave, and we’ll have to say goodbye to what could’ve been something truly great.
I’m rank 985 on my main character, so my personal goal is to hit rank 1000, but it would’ve been so much better if there were new content to enjoy.

@Kantene got it last month regrettung it 🤣
The nail in the coffin for me, is when they updated the game to where you and every player in the whole game now has to go into the audio settings and select "Proximity Chat: ON" , the proximity chat was no longer a default setting for every player. Now in order to speak to other players that you encounter in the game, you will have to hope that they know about the setting change to voice chat and have their setting selected to ON. In that past, had met lots of good players and friends through the years of playing RDR2O thanks to the Proximity Chat specifically. Now, it feels like that type of opportunity to encounter and speak to cool players and make friends wont be possible as much or at all anymore. RIP
Game isn't dead when you only ever play alone in private lobbies.

I wish Rockstar would sell the rights and sourcecodes for the game to other developers. There must be money to be made in the future on this franchise for a devoted develoer, it is after all one of the most popular games ever. I have owned the game for years but only discovered the joy of it earlier this year because my daughter is a fan. I really don't believe it will steal players from GTA because they have different player groups. I myself have never gotten hooked on GTA, even though I have started several times and I know plenty of people wo play it.

Gta was cool for the single player, but online has a much bigger griefer issue given there you can flx or roll in with tanks.
In RDR you always got a chance to win or get out. And it offers a much more relaxing and enjoyable Multiplayer, and the Single player id propably Rockstars best story as of yet.

I read that a player had created the entire map in 4k. Rockstar sure him, and now he can no longer create any content of any kind. Rockstar just wanted to watch their beautiful world burn.
Maaaaan, I remember watching this channel when the game came out 5 years ago, when I was 16. I stopped playing online around 2021 and yesterday I finished the main story and was remembering a RDO channel I used to watch when I played online, the only thing I remembered was the youtuber having a slavic accent.
And now I found the channel accidentally thanks to the recommendations, I feel so nostalgic now.
Rockstar waisted such potential with this game.
I love RDO but I stopped playing about 7 months ago because there's nothing I want to buy, and all my jobs are maxed. The biggest reason I left is because I was tired of constantly being harrassed, and blown into the air constantly exploding. or people coming up blowing up my horse with all my pelts on it.

And look, I'm extremely excited for GTA VI. But in the long-term there is still a chance that RDO could've ended up mattering more to me. It was such a unique, amazing, atmospheric experience with a great community (for the most part) and PvP Cat and Dirty Tyler videos.

This is why I play on custom servers via RedM. Found a great community with an active player-base and there's just so much more to do than the original RDO offered. The community was able to make a better game than rockstar actually was and it's so sad that the original game is dying off.
I still play RDO daily. It has become my relaxing, wind down from a long day game. Usually, I just stick to myself and complete the daily challenges. It's shame it has been abandoned considering how loyal their fanbase is and all that unused potential.
I'll go on to do dailies and collect. I'm rank 1000, have almost $2 million and have 3600 gold so there is nothing left to accomplish. I just do the dailies and collect so I can relax traveling around the map. I do use a private lobby because hackers aren't my idea of relaxing. The one time I went into a public lobby about 6 months ago I was being set on fire the second I joined. Screw that.
Dailies were party of the problem
Very good game
@LaLIRK i still play RDO because its still the most graphically beautiful gane and enjoy the nature. You cant really get the wild wild west experience anywhere else. I roleplay my own store. RDO takes place before the vanderlund gang.
Rockstar be like: about time.
"Go play GTA online kids. Stop playing cowboy."
I am scared for the day they make the game no longer playable and shut it down for good. This game has become my cozy game. I hunt, fish, collect and enjoy the beauty of the world they gave us. I don't want to lose access to this game.

I really hope they never shut down the servers because its always been something i can hop on after a while and have fun and be a happy place for me :(
They won't shut down servers on pc. It's a standalone game on steam
It's actually pretty understandable how it happened.
- Rockstar got massive backlash for excessive crunch time during the development of RDR2 - they couldn't enforce crunch culture any longer after 2018, during the development of GTA VI
- COVID in 2020-2021 further forced companies including Rockstar to reorganize work in less effective ways than before
- which coincided with Dan Houser, the heart and soul of the RDR2 project, leaving the company in March 2020
- nearing 2023, the pressure from investors to release GTA VI became heavier as the 10-year anniversary of GTA V was getting close without even an announcement about the sequel game.
All these put together makes the story of RDO's rapid and undeserved decline much more understandable from Rockstar's aspect, even though it doesn't make it any less sad from the aspect of gamers and fans.
Got Damn Covid :(
I bet if R* communicated with there player base saying hold up guys where in trouble the players would understand , yet they gave us nothing at all in fact we got a big old "F@CK YOU PLAYERS WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR TIME AND EFFORT" they new all the time players where unhappy and just gave them the middle finger. Also why did they change the dailies ??? nothing more than greed to get new players to buy gold ....F@CK R* what they did was criminal driven by greed nothing else !!!!!!!

as long as it's still playable and the servers are up then don't consider it dead.

I have every item you can buy aside from some clothing there is no point to play a game when they haven’t added anything for long running players give me a coopstain you must be fairly new to the rdo scene
@@coopstain1728 gta online also gets more and more even still to this day they get updates and stuff so go talk to someone else bruv your a fool if u think rdo has content
@@connerSphotography GTA online is the SAME. You play for X amount of hours. You do everything and unlock everything and then you are done. Once you complete everything WHY keep playing? Dumb IMO. Move on to a new game. Not that hard. You cant just play one game forever and expect new content every month lol.
If they'd actually put stuff into it like properties, etc. Then people would want to play more. They milk GTA V because of cars, missiles, etc. It's disgusting.
people for years were BEGGING for things like ranches, ability to tame and sell wild horses (so they weren't quite literally useless to encounter while riding around), ability to grow and/or raise our own food and even own our own houses to decorate how we see fit! But no we get these dumb camps that cost real world money in certain aspects to upgrade and offer minimal to none buffs and bonuses to them
Why don't they put the clothes from online, or at least most off them in single player. I don't understand it can't be that much work for them.
Rockstar is absolute greet trash of a company...but they will keep milking GTA Online, a toxic game ruined with a lot of things.....I'm really sad for this whole death phase....
If you have only one, inactive friend in your friend list, you could run game for one, and simply have fun in missions, that doesn't require more than one player (like most criminal organization or biker missions), and do not contact cheaters and no-lifers, who shoot you with flying bikes.
I would have gladly spent another $50-$100 for a massive DLC or something for online.
GLADLY would have and still will if there’s anything ever
Y'all forget Rockstar's current baby is GTA6 which is supposed to come out next year... Most of 2024 is over if you hadn't noticed. Considering the resources they put into game development, I'd be surprised if the whole studio isn't working on GTA6 right now and feeling the pressure of looming deadlines.
RD2O died for the Three players In my Household back in July, 2024. We constantly had the Empty World bug… and we didn’t find a solution… Such is life.
I played RDO everyday for years until around June 2024 when it became a dead world- no animals, no NPCs. I use steam deck. I'm still playing RDR2.
I still play every day, despite cockstar giving up on RDR.
I don't give a f about gta
I'm so happy I literally just began playing this game last month period. I'm only 16% complete in story mode and only 3 days ago began playing online( put it off thinking it was tyne same toxic gta lobbies) I'm pleased to say that I thought the game couldn't get more imersive and fun than story mode but now online is the most fun I've had playing any games since assassin's creed valhalla, and hogwarts legacy!!!
Welcome to the game
It’s Not Dead You Can Still Play It
One of the rarest Online experiences where you could actually hop on with your friends & have fun just roaming around.
If it had the support it needed & by that I mean if it actually got the proper content like Bank Robberies, Train Robberies & Heists in General (Real ones, not the dung they packaged into Blood Money) this game would have a looooooooong and happy life.
Just thinking of the amount of content that could have been added makes me honestly want to shed a tear... Properties, Ranches, Gunsmith Businesses, a Mexico Expansion filled with even more content... It's honestly sad to see what it came to...
But, GTA VI Is a priority, so it's no surprise this ended up happening & I can't complain on that end really as I do look forward to GTA VI, but in the end, this will forever be the saddest story in online gaming history...
Cheers to everyone that made great memories playing RDO, maybe when RDRIII drops things will be different? (If Herr Strauss is dead by then, myb) :)
If you really cared about voting against anti-consumer business practices you'd vote with your wallet. You wouldn't play GTA VI.
We shouldn't be allowing Rockstar and Take2 to get away with these practices. It WILL get worse.
Seeing full lobby on Xbox servers genuinely warms my heart ❤️ 😢
Facts😂 far from dead on xbox....
Not mine I hate playing with other people
I absolutely despise Taketwo and Rockstar, greedy bastards
Why the heck r they greedy? R they selling skins for solo story for real money? No! Maybe they selling their updates for money? No, it's free, gta and rdo both... Where is greedy then?
@@lafiestadelanoche5961one the games are not free. Two they are greedy because it’s clear they just people to spend as much as possible on RDO then move to GTA and spend more
@@lafiestadelanoche5961 you gain nothing from defending this dog shit excuse of an entertainment company.
Err, last time I checked that’s called business……no one is forced to buy it
Greedy?
They literally let the community ruin their game by cheating the gold bar mechanic and giving away a stupid amount of premium currency.
so many great memories i have with this masterpiece red dead online. RDO will always be in my heart, forever!
I actually got addicted to this game when i first started playing. Literally took over my life 8-12 hrs plus a day for months on end. So depressing cause this couldve been better than GTA i think it was. Just wasnt developed enough.
So much potential this game could of had
Just started this like a week ago and I am at around lvl 45. Really wish this game got more love
Ya, players are just quitting .
Hopefully there's a surprise for Halloween like an update which is red dead nightmares 2 with online features lol. Doubt it though
@@MrCantBeArsed1oh dear
@@MrCantBeArsed1there won’t be. I don’t think they even added snow last year
How did you level up so much. I just started today, any tips?
I am still gonna play it the game has a vibe unlike any other sucks to see R* throwing it away like this
We gave rockstar all we had we did
Red dead was dead by year 2 when they literally lied to us and then abandoned a game for a milked GTA 5. If they added the houses and homes they promised us and maybe add some hot air balloons for travel the game would be booming still.
I played every day for a few years but got tired with how much it was neglected and moved on
4:33 i wonder where are the calm people you are talking about
The longest agony in history of videogames 😅
I'll continue to play as long as I can. It's such a beautiful game and, as you said, so relaxing. Some new content would be great but I don't really care that much. As long as the game is playable, I'll be there. What are the chances they'll do away with the severs and the game will no longer be playable?
When gta 6 online comes out, they'll probably shut down rdo shortly after
You're part of problem. They bet on players that will play "just because." I rather give my money, time, and attention to devs that actually care about my gaming experience.
I'll play story mode. But what's the point of playing a live service game that isn't making new content?
@ActionShortsPodcasts how are they part of the problem by enjoying something that they like along with others that like it? You have such a juvenile mindset, what's your favorite color? Not the same as mine? Then you're apart of the problem, get over yourself
@@ereis_fireboiontwitchandyt You sound hyper emotional. This is about consumers keeping trash products alive... not crayons or whatever the heck you're crying about. If you think it's smart to incentivze corps to pump out trash products... thats on you. But don't expect them to stop...
You're like the friend of a DV victim telling them to return to their abusive boyfriend. Because love is love... lmfao
@@ActionShortsPodcastsso you just replay the same story over and over? What’s the point of that.
Online is the same. You just do the same shit over and over, but with your friends.
Us to Rockstar: "I dont get you, i don't get you no more"
I just started playing red dead for the first time and I am having a blast playing online.
Rockstar: Now i'm real sorry about the way things turned out but RDO had a choice, aint my fault about the way the world is
Players: RDO didn't have a choice it was good and it did good. there wasn't no choice in that. and you as good as killed it yourself and don't kid yourself, you had a choice.
Rockstar: you speak as if killing is something I cared about
Players: you ever wonder about the player base, you should
Rockstar: i hope it's broke and terrible otherwise I'll feel as though i've been sold a false bill of goods, now please give me that GTAO money
Rockstar: either you got a lazy eye or a lack of respect, which is it boy.
True Fan: I ain't got no lazy eye nor respect for the likes of you
Rockstar: well maybe when the players are finished morning RDO, i'll keep RD1 in black on your behalf, you think on that boy
True fan: well maybe you shall rockstar, and maybe other events will transpire
Rockstar: you best stick to them old games because mark my words vengeance is an idiots game
Genius 😂
@@knightingale9833 lol thanks
My husband is a programmer, their management really likes to promise a lot of things to their clients, and then the workers have to work for months without days off and with 5 hours of sleep to make at least half of what was promised by the required date. Rock Star announced GTA6, I think they have the same rush job there, so all the developers were transferred to GTA6 to at least make it by the appointed year of release. There are also problems that many cannot withstand such a pace of work and quit, and in their place either no one is hired at all, or it takes a long time to hire, or inexperienced people are hired. As a result, the deadlines are shifted terribly and just each person in the company is only engaged in the main task, and all secondary tasks, even if they are also important, are discarded "until better times". The only thing that pisses me off in RDO PC is the cheaters: besides the fact that they mock, it is also impossible to play in the confrontations, because these idiots teleport where they need, or you can’t destroy them, or they have cheating ammunition, these confrontations are not interesting at all; and also in the fights in free mode: if you defeat them, they immediately have an infinite life. And there are a lot of such players. Why nothing has been done about this in 6 years is the biggest question for me, because it is definitely not explained by the lack of developers. There is monotony in the game, but I am that kind of person who will not get bored even within 4 walls.
No one asked.
You just said a whole lot of nothing. I want my 2 minutes back lol.
you lost me when you mentioned GTA6
Why are you so harsh on RDO loving players?@@SeriousDragonify
I literally played RDO yesterday. It's not dead. People still play it. I ran into at least 20 players in total yesterday. Rockstar might not update it anymore, but it's still playable.
it isn't truly dead till the servers are offline
Blood Money is basically all the crew has to do now so it was a good update. But yeah this is so sad. Also it was added to Playstation Extra like 6 months ago which brought tons of new players
what is the horse you're riding at 0:57 ???
It's red Arabian i guess
It's a mustang
It’s a chestnut tovero mustang, (something like that), it’s one of the best horses in the game, the best for beginners since they don’t have good stirrups and saddles at low level
It's a mustang I use it and have been for like 3 years love it and he is truly a one and only
Edit his name is one and only
2:28 did you ever play this little game called TF2?
Finally someone sees how similar this is
Frls Titan fall 2 got worse when people tried hacking apex through it.
I played RDO once about a year ago, I was a bit late to get the game (big regret, this game is just awesome). I was in the game for maybe a half hour, did the tutorial stuff, and ventured into the world, and was immediately was harassed by a group of assholes. They clearly had been playing for a while, had good guns and horses, and I'm a newbie, and they just kept harassing and being dicks to the point I left and never went back. RDO is kept alive by the fans, and it was ruined by those same fans
Sorry to hear that. If you ever decide to play again, put on defensive mode and stay away from the towns. Other players are easy to avoid for the most part
@knightingale9833 I see what your saying, but then what's the point? The purpose was to be able to engage with other players and have fun as a community, unfortunately people are toxic assholes who belive fun should come at another expense. I heard mention in the video about private servers, and that sounds way like an option, but then your out the community aspect. Honestly, people just need to learn to stop being pieces of shit to one another and this world would be better off.
i’ve done everything in this game. made countless friends, been in clan wars, been booted offline, gotten $100k and it’s sad to see it die. i want it to have a come back, but i know it will never happen.
I just stopped playing as soon as I fired 6 shots and hit every single one in the opposing player's head without him going down from a longer distance using the bolt action rifle.
