10 Things Red Dead Redemption 2 Must Learn From GTA Online
8. Instead Of Apartments, Give Players Ranches And Hideouts
What could possibly be more synonymous with the old west than the frontier itself? I mean, if you're going to live the fantasy of being a gun slinging anti-hero, you may as well have a ranch to retire to. And, if you're up to more nefarious deeds, where better to reside than in a secret hideout with your band of crooks?
The former would most likely work like the apartments and stilt homes on offer in GTA, whereas the latter would work in a similar fashion to the offices found in the 'Finance and Felony' update that released just this June. They'd naturally be expensive, as a ranch and a piece of land where rabbits can live off the alfalfa was the dream back in the day, but again, they'd be a great place to do cowboy-esque things; like, for instance, herding cattle and all that other farming malarkey.
Things may get complicated depending on session population (no one wants to share their prize stallions with a random player they've never met before, let's be honest), but given the appropriate level of attention, they'd make for a great feature for players to strive towards.
