Should Red Dead Redemption 2 Even Have Multiplayer?

Just how much of a difference is the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2 going to make on the story? Is multiplayer really necessary for a narrative title?

I don't care about online, just focus on single player story.

BullyMangler2750d ago (Edited 2750d ago )

I for one felt like i wasted my time

after i played the campaign mode.

Cheesy no skills required, lame carriage missions .. .

multi player is where the replay value is.

not the kiddy horse sh** campaigne.

i get pissed just thinking about it!

Kashima2750d ago

i'm just afraid this ended up like GTAV with all online bullshit.

UCForce2749d ago

I'm not even try to talk about this BS of your. Fine, go ahead and kill off single player then let see how strong your connection is.

Xenial2749d ago

I agree the multiplayer is great! It also requires individual player skill, not just who has the better weapons, team, i.e. However, i disagree on the campaign. Yes, it isn't the most difficult, but it had so much replay value and experiences in it alone, not to mention the awesome dlc packs released. RDR is an all-round great game in my opinion.

joab7772749d ago

GTA 5 online is amazing and has been supported so well. RDR2 will be even better... BUT the single player for RDR2 will not suffer in any way, and it's amazing as well!

spicelicka2748d ago

"Cheesy no skills required, lame carriage missions .. . "

Then play on harder difficulty and don't do side missions.

"not the kiddy horse sh** campaigne."

It must suck not to have any imagination or interest in having story driven experiences. As much as I love multiplayer, if that's the ONLY thing you care about then maybe you're just a simpleton happy with doing the same thing over and over again.

More interested in singleplayer... but after this... http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

I'm sure Red Dead Redemption 2 will have multiplayer with microtransactions.

JackBNimble2749d ago

What microtransactions with free Dlc?
If all those fools in GTA 5 like buying shark cards so we can have free Dlc then let them.
I've never had to pay for anything other then the game itself.
I hope RDR2 online matches GTA 5 online structure to a tee. With free Dlc and bone heads who are to lazy to do missions to earn money so they buy shark cards.

I don't care about the single player, just focus on the multiplayer

Artemidorus2748d ago

It's online is extremely fun but millenials want to restrict it to one person per gameplay.

Snookies122750d ago

Normally, I'd rather they focus on single-player for most games. Though, I have to say Red Dead Redemption had some really entertaining multi-player. Excited to see this one's!

xPhearR3dx2749d ago

Honestly, I felt RDR was ahead of its time for open world MP games. I believe their goal for RDR was what GTA Online is now, but they couldn't quite get it. But with the success of GTA Online and having a few years of feedback, I'm more than certain Rockstar will bring something very entertaining that I'll be playing on and off for years just like GTA Online.

Sm30002748d ago

This will be the culmination of everything they've learned so far. Yes, I'm excited for single and MP

Sm30002748d ago

Exactly!...... Draw! Member that?

PhoenixUp2750d ago

Yes it should have multiplayer. The first title from what I see has a great campaign narrative and the included multiplayer didn't compromise it, so no reason to expect the sequel's multiplayer to compromise the single player

Kallisti2749d ago (Edited 2749d ago )

You mean like how GTA V's online compromised us getting any single player DLC for the game?

NarooN2749d ago

GTAO = hella extra revenue for R* via microtransactions. SP DLC would take much more effort and time to make for much less overall revenue.

Seeing as how RDR's online was pretty much setting the groundwork for what GTAO eventually became, it's foolish for people to expect RDR2 to NOT have some sort of microtransaction-driven online component.

Sm30002748d ago

Gta4 got three dlc sp stories. So it's not like they haven't done it. They went another direction with V.
Ideally, there will be a nice balance with RDR2

PhoenixUp2749d ago

GTAV's multiplayer didn't compromise the single player mode that's already in the game

Kallisti2748d ago (Edited 2748d ago )

But the mass bank they made from selling Shark cards for people to buy all the dlc items in the online mode was enough for them to not even bother making any future single player dlc for the game. GTA IV's first single player dlc came out just over a year after IV's launch but we haven't seen a sign of any SP dlc for GTA V since it came out.

sho0ok2749d ago

In b4 some smart ass use the world "cringe worthy" to describe the multi-player mode.

I hate this stupid word.. It's everywhere nowadays.

KwietStorm_BLM2749d ago

People love to play follow the leader on the internet, sometimes even more than offline. I have no idea where that stupid phrase even came from. The wind blows and people cringe.

Phill-Spencer2749d ago

It's cringe worthy to dislike that phrase

Kallisti2749d ago

Your comment is cringe worthy

Ogygian2749d ago

It's not a word. It's two.

BEASELY2749d ago

You yourself said "inb4,"

You're not any more cultured or unique yourself.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein18d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers17d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long17d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius17d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius17d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk35d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218335d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken35d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker36d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218335d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast36d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog36d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast35d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave36d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
