Story mode is the classic style where you play on your own agains the computer which is most following story missions etc.

Online is playing with real players through the internet and has less of a story narrative.

The game comes with both when you buy it either way though.

Horse that I had spent a decent bit on got killed by a hacker... Opened a ticket with Rockstar, what are my chances of them helping me out? :mad:

Lads has this been streamlined at all on pc?

I’m finding it pretty good, I didn’t own it on console. Haven’t come across any major bugs and today was the only time I’ve come across a hacker. He teleported me and loads of other players into a house and basically blew the whole thing up.

Made some serious money too with the collector role following an online loot map. I do get random disconnects from the servers which is fairly annoying though

Was playing online and jumped into single player again to do some stuff.

Bought the lemat revolver/shotgun combo which is new and comes from online into SP, but also bought the M1899 handgun which apparently unlocks after you finish chapter 3 and only bought from the St Denis gunsmith. Been there the whole time and didn't know.

I completed the game on release and never bought a gun ever. Just used what ever one he was carrying. Never cleaned a gun either/or maintained one.

What's the chances of getting SP DLC? Probably slim going by GTA V but you never know. I have no figures or even played much online so this is pure guess but imo RDR 2 online is doing no where as good as GTA V online so they may look into releasing single player DLC to gain some money.

Dunno possibly a bit late now for DLC but I'd love Undead Nightmare, touched online once or twice for a couple of hours doesn't play well.

There's story missions in online for main quest & for the professions, just you're character is doing their best impressions of Claude. Some of the items have been added to SP. Bunch of missions too with other major characters, you can do a few for bonnie macfarlane and such.

Just started on PC and after very little messing around with the graphic settings have it running lovely. My PC is only middle of the road at this stage but seems to be ableto handle this. Have not had any issues so far but really only just into the first area. First impressions are that this going to be brilliant...

Been very tempted to try this again. Saw a video on YouTube recently with a guy playing a bad guy/serial killer and it looked like a different game (actually fun). No worrying about bumping into people, robbing everyone he came across and instead of helping people out in the wilds, he'd just kill them and take their money.

Between that and the online roles likes moonshiner, looks like it could be worth another go if i can get it cheap.

Keep a lookout on the PS Store. Ultimate Edition is €34.99 at the moment.

I'm hoping to play it again soon as I miss going out on the wagons so I do.

Just to point out, if anyone is interested in online. The mico transaction currency is gold and it's very easy to earn with the daily challenges and you get some more with certain games/mission completions.

Gold is used to buy the season pass, over which you get all the gold back. I got to lvl 100 for free easily enough in a little over a week of casual playing, and bought the pass after hitting 100 then instantly got the gold back. The pass is mostly cosmetic stuff, and a lot of discounts for in game stuff.

Gold is also used for the new profession roles, with the starting gold and different offers you can get 2 out of the 4 straight away. Also weekly offers so maybe you could get 3 of them straight away. The roles also add new daily challenges and half of which are very easy to do ( dance for 2 minutes), there's also streak bonues so that ups them to 2.5x the norm. I've not spent any money and just from the dailies I've got enough for next season and the one after that.

Just to add the game isn't remotely like GTA online as all the new stuff is easily accessible you don't need to grind $ for ages with the gold earned doing mostly everything. The way the map/radar/defensive mode work there isn't much reason/oppertunity for other plays to grief each other, with the exception of the dedicated mission types that promote it. The worst that happens usually is neither you nor they noticed the other as you don't see people on the radar unless they're very close and so you both head firsted into each other on horse.

Can you have multiple roles active at the same time like can i hunt animals as a trader and then go catch a bounty followed by treasure hunting? Can you swap roles on the fly?

Treasure hunting can be done at all times even in story missions or while doing other roles. If you wanted to focus on it there's daily interactive maps to see where what is where. You can sell individual pieces but they're worth a whole lot more as a full collection and each day you can see what's where on these maps. It's a really fast way to lvl up too.

Moonshining is set up missions, then waiting, and then selling goods. You also shoot a lot of revenue agents all over the place even when not doing it there's checkpoints around.

Hunting can be done while doing any of the others but the only issue is it's the carcass you want more than skins so you've to get them back to your camp. If you get the hunting wagon you can call that load it up and dismiss it and the carcasses are save in it. All those times you get ambushed by a pack of wolves is free money then. Shoot them all, call and load wagon, and dismiss until you're near camp again.

Bounty hunting is more quick missions or huge quests, so it's a bit separate but you can do the other while doing it you just won't be capturing any bounties randomly while doing a story mission for example. Doing bounties is a good way to break up waiting times for the others, while you're waiting for moonshine to finish or skins to be prepared, or in between prep mission for both.

There's weekly discounts on roles, and I think PS4/plus get's one free.

There's not much to Treasure hunting, but if you've got it you randomly pick up stuff off enemies and randomly find stuff so just having it early helps.

I'd get trader (hunting) before I'd get bounty hunter, and moonshiner is the most recent and also most expensive so that'd probably be last to get. Roles also get you the best horses, equipment, and clothing.
