My theory is we won't buy money via cards.

Instead, the coolest outfits and items and horses will require hunting down or taming. Crank up the Alligator skins needed × 10. At one at a time and pristine, that's a grind.

Or. Pay ten bucks to unlock these outfits.

Maybe some need legendary animals that spawn once every hour and flag the whole server it's up, like crates and the gta missions.

Seems fair to me and in keeping with cosmetic dlc trends. No cash from cards means gambling is still fake and keeps poker and dominoes as activities.

Everything else from a store? Sure. It's your paycheck.

As for posses, I think the biker gang content is a taste of how it'll go.

If you carry a legendary pelt, you'll be marked on the map for every one to come for you. Mark my words.

I only have the standard edition, so guess I'll just be watching some Twitch streams starting in about 2 and a half hours.

That wouldn't work on RDR2's map. Remember horses are your only transport, 90% of the lobby will be killed by the storm. Player-Count is a bit disappointing though.

I'm sure they could tweak the circle speed to allow for people on foot.

Any Last Man Standing mode is BR to me. There are different takes on it but it's still BR after all.

For example, Team Deathmatch could be 8v8, 5v5, 16v16, with respawn, no respawn, small map, large map,...etc. It's still Team Deathmatch. The same goes for BR.

That's good that you classify any limited life mode as BR, but to me and the majority of the games industry by the looks of it, it's large player counts on large maps with one life.

So will this mode require a new character to be made for the online portion? Been so long since I played a R* game online, I feel dumb I don't know this, and didn't see any mention in the OP unless I missed it.

You'll create and customize your own character.

I dont have much hope for the competitive modes. I really hope there is decent co-op content. Although i aint got much hope in that either.

Yeah. Character creation. Roleplay away.

Wouldn't mind if it was the old way.

I miss Bonnie. Imagine "You stupid man!" these days.

it's large player counts

Seriously tho, who really gives a crap about that? I mean, I get you, it is more impressive when we have a 100 player server, but if we're serious here for a second, half of them are dead in the first 60 seconds anyway, in every BR game. So what does it really matter if we have 100 or 50. If we have a smaller part of the map, which we will have and than a smaller player count, it not only makes it faster, like most people unfortunately likes it, but it also is the exact same thing but we're skipping the first half and basically starting in a normal BR match where 2/3 is already dead and the circle a bit smaller.

Yeh you're right that correctly scaling down the player count and map size would allow for the feeling of BR. I just really wanted to see 100 outlaws jumping out of a hot air balloon.

At work so don't have time to read through sorry.
Has there been an update to the game yet? Is there one coming before the ultimate launch? Is online built in already?

Are you all just gonna play this or roleplay this shit? I'm talking being fully involved as your character with a mic roleplay.

I'm gonna use my mic and talk like I'm really in that era as a gunslinger and never break character lol

Am I the only one hoping that maybe they screwed up with the update and all players can play online today?

I hope there aren't spoilers for the main game (at least big ones early on), as I'm only in Chapter 5.

Although, knowing me, I'll probably just play around with the character creator and then get back to the SP mode.
