Rdr2 online beta started today. I loaded in and you do a minor story arc that creates your character and establishes a camp. After that I roamed around and all of the sudden heard people talking on my headset so i got off my horse and hid in the trees. I see 3 dudes ride passed me talking to each other and i start shooting and take 2 of them out before the 3rd finally got me. I ended up following these guys for 30ish minutes and we kept getting into sweet shootouts and epic horse chases. It was fun!

Online keeps the same base game of the story but seems to be much less restricting than the story mode. Id suggest trying it before you ditch the game. Its a whole different vibe.

So is online, an MMO version of the offline story mode?

Definitely. Feels like the Wild West. This definitely has a lot of potential, hopefully rockstar doesn’t eff it up.

But you can like, not play it right? Or to get all the guns and stuff unlocked, do you have to play through the story mode in the open world?

Or can you just rob trains, and buy guns?

Im not doing, anything that idiot dutch tells me to do, ever again, in my entire life.

Looks to be it’s own thing entirely. I went to the gun vendor and all guns were available to purchase. It even has its own mini tutorial in it at the beginning, I’m assuming for those that only play online.

Wow, this is inspiring to hear. I may actually re-install and try this online portion.

Off topic: I bought that new Spider-man game for ps4 thinking it would be a good game to wash out the horrible taste RDR2 left in my mouth. I was right! Just travelling around the city is incredible. They really nailed the feeling of Spider-man.

I bet it's just like GTA Online.

It may include characters from single player, but it's almost an entirely separate game

I just read that there's a battle royale mode. I'm in to trying that.

It would be nice to shoot people without the mission failing or being punished by spawning a million cops and killing me and making me pay $150 bounty for every person I kill when I only have $13 in the first place.

lol
