Red Dead Online is finally here, but what does the GameRevolution team think about the new multiplayer mode? The team shares its thoughts before fielding the question to the site’s community.<\/b>
\nThe Red Dead Online beta is now available, with the Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer component finally being unveiled by Rockstar. There\u2019s a lot to unpack, from its griefer-ridden Free Roam through to its multiple PvP multiplayer modes, but now that the GameRevolution team has spent some time with it we thought we\u2019d share our thoughts.
You can share your own opinions in the comments section below. As always, we\u2019ll feature our favorite in tomorrow\u2019s Tell GR.
Paul Tamburro, executive editor: \u201cI\u2019m in two minds. On one hand, exploring the more-or-less untouched world map from Red Dead Redemption 2 \u2018s single-player with friends is highly appealing. On the other hand, RDR2 \u2018s clunky controls don\u2019t exactly translate well to a multiplayer experience, and I really hope there are separate servers for those who make use of auto-aim and those who don\u2019t.\u201d
Jason Faulkner, senior editor: \u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed Red Dead Online quite a bit so far. It offers most of the trappings of the single-player while also blending in multiplayer pretty seamlessly. My only point of anxiety about it is the high price of all the items, and the low amount of cash you can generate. I\u2019m hoping I just find a better way to grind, but it\u2019s feeling a bit like GTA Online in this regard.\u201d
Mack Ashworth, lead editor: \u201cI streamed it for an hour and barely got through the prologue sequence. I created a wild lady avatar, completed some introductory missions, before then being paired up with some fellow noobs for the first co-op mission. I\u2019m looking forward to exploring the world\u2026 once the tutorials are over! \u201c<\/p>\n
