Red Dead Online fans have grown even more frustrated at Rockstar Games following the latest lacklustre update.
While GTA Online continues to be a big moneymaker, Red Dead Online is constantly left in the dust. Sure, GTA Online is undoubtedly the most popular of the two, but fans feel that Rockstar isn’t even giving the western counterpart a chance to shine.
It seems with each update, Red Dead Online fans have a reason to be annoyed, venting frustrations at Rockstar on more than one occasion. GTA Online not only benefits from XP bonus events, but it regularly has meaty content updates with a plethora of new missions, locations and even guest stars such as Dr Dre.
GTA Online gets all the love
The latest update for Red Dead Online went live earlier this week on May 3rd. So, will fans be treated to new missions, events and perhaps even a Clint Eastwood cameo? Nope! Fans have been once again treated with bonus XP, Gold and RDO$. Yee-ha!
While bonuses such as this one are often a welcomed addition, I can understand why fans continue to grow frustrated with Rockstar Games’ barebone efforts. Granted, we’ve had plenty of events, but where are the DLC-like locations and guest stars?
“Why have you guys literally given up on the game? It would take minimal effort to implement good content into the game,” said Vladolak on Twitter. “Add in Heists, new horses/houses, you could literally just repackage content from GTA online to add to red dead and that would be better than what’s goin on.”
“Missed opportunity. I hope you and your investors soon realise that. I thought you were about “pushing the limits”, as Sam Houser said?” replied passionate community member, Ben aka videotech.
RDO has so much potential
At this rate, most Red Dead Online fans have every reason to give up on the game, but many refuse to see it die. The game has so much potential, yet Rockstar Games doesn’t appear to match the love of fans that will see RDO flourish.
