Nice, will buy it now then.
Pretty sweet multiplayer dlc is free too. Will help its online playerbase.

Concertoine3604d ago

Too bad the online has been glitched for years now. Free dlc is the least rockstar could do. I miss this game 's multiplayer to death.

DragonbornZ3604d ago (Edited 3604d ago )

What do you mean glitched? Like lag? Disconnects?
The MP really looks to be have been something special. Hopefully the online works well and the population gets back up some.

SonyWarrior3603d ago

he means glitched as you can explot and cheat real easy no one on ps3 is legit any way i went on there like 6 months ago people invisible and stuff like that i actually some how went invisible my self and started ranking up alot im not sure how it happened

Concertoine3604d ago (Edited 3604d ago )

If you haven't seen yet, basically there's an exploit planted in the servers for the game where a hidden mass of NPC's all spawn in one area. This prevents gang hideouts from spawning, the ability to see other players, or even for your mount to spawn a lot of the time. You can't even play poker or liar's dice anymore.

Only way to fix is to get together a private lobby.

And Rockstar has done nothing to fix it for a while now, hopefully they'll fix it now with the BC crowd. Certainly didn't stop them from selling it.

Can someone approve this before the DLC might not be free anymore?

Summons753603d ago

Tomorrow? It was made available today.

Hold_It3603d ago

I submitted the article last night, but it didn't get approved till a few hours ago.

Multiplayer is broken. 25 mins to get into free roam, there was no one in it. Loaded up the character customisation thing...or tried to. Quit the fame after 9 mins of loading. In total about 35 mins I managed to take one step.

ShadowKnight3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

You're right about 25 mins to get into free roam. It actually took me longer than that.

meche3343603d ago

I was watching this stream last night. He said start in single player then pause then start multiplayer in a private match. Then go public and then if you see duplicate npc's kill them because they overfill the ram and then players and animals etc, cant load in thats why your stuck loading into free roam

Clown_Syndr0me3602d ago

But we should be able to just enter a game from main menu no problem. What was the point in working on getting it to support BC if they haven't even fixed the damn game. It's totally broken.

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83126d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

darthv72128d ago

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard127d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator127d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

gold_drake127d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion160d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension140160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
