How Are Micro-transactions Going to Work with Red Dead : Redemption 2?

Agheil writes - "Fellow gamers, early next year we are going to get one of the best games of 2018. Red Dead : Redemption 2 is set to be a behemoth in terms of reception and sales but with Take Two accepting microtransactions, how is it going to work in RDR 2?

I have concerns on how it's going to work.

Check out the video below for details."

indyman77773097d ago

ROFL! Not buying it at all so they will have to remove microtransactions like EA was forced to $0.00 (Priceless)!

indyman77773097d ago

Rockstar seems unstoppable. I believe the only thing that will bring them down to being humble is micro-transaction rejections. Once people start going negative on that it will affect all sales going forward. Something many companies are experiencing.

Come on Rockstar your NOT a monopoly your sales are pumping your head too big.

rollerdisc3098d ago

The John outfit will probably happen loool

bananasrule3098d ago

and people will buy it....

Mikelarry3098d ago

UltraNova3097d ago

Want more fauna variety? Get your loot boxes for more animal drops (mountain lions = legendary drops)

Agheil3098d ago

fenome3098d ago

Don't forget the horse armor! It's a steal at 9.99.

Never forget the horse armor.

indyman77773097d ago (Edited 3097d ago )

ROFL My horse aint scaared of no stinkin arrows.

fenome3097d ago

What if it takes an arrow to the knee?! Lmao

Retroman3098d ago

Buy empty game. pay 59.99 to download it as Microtransaction game.

indyman77773097d ago

LOL.....I bet the micro-transactions will not be costlier than EA's battlefront cost if they had stayed in there.

OG_TK_Cole3097d ago

They better think twice with recent events!

rollerdisc3098d ago

If the buzz isnt as high then I worry if they will even care.

zerocarnage3097d ago

Buzz was high for STWF2 then look what happened..

indyman77773097d ago

Spot ON ZEROCARNAGE Star wars battle Front 2 had the largest budget largest publishing budget ever. For the largest IP (intellectual property) on THE PLANET OF EARTH! And look what happened

_-EDMIX-_3098d ago

They might simply be talking about the online portion I mean look at Grand Theft Auto V and has a lot of Microtransactions but that's only exclusively to the online portion of the game.

Summons753098d ago

Agreed but they are too blinded by the zero controversy over the shark cards and the crazy amount of money those have ranked in. Same reason why GTAV never got single-player DLC because Shark Cards.

UltraNova3097d ago

They'll find a way ti migrate shark cards to RDR too. I dont know if R* will ever bother with single player expansions again, not as long as they can make hundreds of millions of dollars through the relatively risk free Online mode.

bananasrule3098d ago

As long as the campaign isnt affected I dont care.

Agheil3098d ago

The campaign is my main concern too but I don’t want them to be in the game at all if possible.

_-EDMIX-_3098d ago

Same.

If they do it just like they did the first Red Dead Redemption or even Grand Theft Auto V I could care less about what they're doing with the online portion I mean it's fun but I don't believe it's that big of a deal as I've seen a lot of the stuff for Grand Theft Auto V or simply cosmetic stuff.

DJStotty3097d ago

The focus on MT does affect the campaign though. More resources will be targeted at the online section for the MT.

You will end up with a short half assed campaign with no dlc.

At least people might have loot crates to open though

addictedtochaos3098d ago

I imagine they will be much like the Shark Cards in GTA Online.

Agheil3098d ago

Probably but the world of GTA is much more massive in capabilities than RDR so it’ll be interesting to see what route they go.

Prince_TFK3098d ago (Edited 3098d ago )

I still think it would be similiar. You can possibly buy the following in RDR Online:

- Different horses (just like car)
- Guns
- Hideouts ( just like safe houses)
- Outfits
- Bet money at betting house
- Cars - This is interesting. If RDR2’s era is close to the last one, we might possibly see and able to buy car in this game.

I do however hope they can be more creative with this.

_-EDMIX-_3098d ago

@kun-agreed I'm not really sure why no one is seeing this

DillyDilly3098d ago

$9.99 if you need ammo & another $9.99 every time you shoot a weapon & also $9.99 to pay to have your horse stop & rest

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg195d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW194d ago

I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.

ZeekQuattro194d ago

Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.

jznrpg195d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.

victorMaje195d ago

I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.

FIELDMARSHALL_P194d ago

My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.

RedDevils195d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake194d ago

damn, thats a ridiculous number

The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.

The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.

neutralgamer1992199d ago

Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.

It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism

YodaCracker199d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23198d ago

I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.

I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.
