Red Dead Online: 10 Missing Features Rockstar Must Add
What do we want? Bank heists. When do we want them? Now.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a gaming masterpiece. There's no getting away from that fact.
However, when Red Dead Online was released in beta form a few weeks later after the initial launch of the game itself, the overall consensus was that it wasn't as good as it perhaps could have been, much like GTA Online when it originally came out. As the months went by though, things would start to get better.
With RDR2 Online leaving beta a number of weeks ago, it became clear that Rockstar had some interesting ideas for their online players further down the line. One update set to arrive in the summer will see players have the opportunity to start one of three jobs - a bounty hunter, a collector, or a trader. Even though this update does seem like it will create some interesting moments for players, it's still not enough to make Red Dead Online as great as it could be.
It's been quite a slow start for Red Dead Online but, as was the case with the aforementioned GTA Online, it has all the potential to become one of the best online modes out there if we give it the time to do so. Let's just hope we get features we'd actually want to see as opposed to meaningless additions.
10. Add More Mini Games
This entry would have been higher up on the list had it not been for the recent introduction of poker to Red Dead Online, but that simply isn't enough for all our mini game needs.
Sure, there's also the option to go drown your sorrows at the local pub or head down to the nearby lake for a spot of fishing, but wouldn't it be great if we could play dominoes or blackjack? Maybe even have the option to join in on regular tournaments to test your gambling abilities. Just imagine you're coming off the back of a fierce shoot-off with some friends, and then you all head off for a game of five finger fillet to settle down.
Mini games are rather important to games like this in a way. No matter how much you may enjoy shooting up an entire town, it'll get stale after a while, especially if you're not particularly great at shooting others and die repeatedly at the hands of the lawmen. As a result, the addition of these games would allow players something else to do aside from murdering all their fellow civilians.
Surely, not all RDR2 players are bloodthirsty criminals. Right?
