Red Dead Online - Red Dead Transaction (Jimpressions)
Added 2018-12-01 16:59:29 +0000 UTCRed Dead Redemption 2 has launched the beta for its online mode and Red Dead Online is... fun? It's quite a lot of fun actually, but it's let down by stingy payouts and the shadow of microtransactions.
Gold bars are a grind and cash comes at a pittance. The core of the game's a laugh but it's so discouraging without premium pricing that I don't know how much time I want to spend in it.

When the core gameplay loop insidiously make you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0K5s7-k9cs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">feel like somebody wants to sell you something</a> after you already payed them, I'm put off. GTA Online and Red Dead Online on paper would be something I would absolutely love to play but with the gameplay loop designed around the microtransactions, it would be a void of fun. Even grindy RPGs typically give the player feedback that they are getting closer to a goal. This is just "the only way to get this without being bored for a long time is to cough up the wallet".
