Yeah it's fucking stupid. I enjoyed the stupid horse and posse names. It was something unique to the game.

As if there wasn’t already not enough content in the game, yes let’s remove one of the things people actually enjoy

As much as I appreciate the GTA series, I just never have been drawn to it at all.

u/ThatOneSnakeGuy Trader Sep 24 '24
The story I liked, the gameplay online was chaos. I liked private lobbies but got bored quickly. Rdr2 on the other hand has been (despite the lack of attention to online) great for real world immersion. Just wish they'd actually do something with it lol

I admit, I do. It's less but I'll be damned if it's still one of the best open worlds ever. Wish they had like a mission maker and could run our own servers or something.

Thank god. I'm finally safe from having to read offensive swear words while I hogtie innocent civilians and feed them to gators. My mood would be completely ruined if I had to read a clever horse name with a swear when I'm getting up to my good clean fun of dismembering somebody limb by limb, or watching them slowly bleed out while gasping for air because I shot them in the neck.
Thanks for protecting me from swears in the M rated game I bought, Rockstar.

I think some of you are right. They want us to stop playing. Ugh I hate Rockstar Games.

They absolutely do. The quicker they can kill rdo then the sooner they can release a "upscaled" version for 69.99.

Censorship conditioning is the current industry standard, that's why.
Corporations love censorship. It keeps investor money safe, and investors must always be appeased.

If it really is this bad how are they ever going to make gta6 good, you can't make a r* game and please the 60 year old investors at the same time

u/New-Independent4517 Naturalist Sep 25 '24
It doesn't need to be good to sell.
FOMO on the new installment in the gta IP will make it fly off shelves, and addiction land it.
Tons are already hooked on gtao. They've wanted this game for a decade. no matter what information tells them not to, they'll feed into it.
The investors will be satiated.

u/puphyin Sep 25 '24
True, I knew it would sell anyway but I was just thinking that it would ruin their track record of good, detailed games and mark the downfall of the company because even though they'll make big money for a while this is ultimately a failing business strategy since people will eventually stop buying your crap and you'll die out

u/New-Independent4517 Naturalist Sep 25 '24 edited Sep 26 '24
Gta VI will sell and likely ruin their track record. But R* has a cult of apologists that will cushion the blowback.
It is a failing strategy, but R* is looking to sanitize it's former work and "Frat Boy" culture. That tells me their talent is gone, anyways. The Frat Boy bit is an article title.
In the long run, you are right. They will join Ubisoft, Bethesda, and Rocksteady in the corner of shame.

It's weird I logged in This afternoon, I could see my horses names, but the one player horse I came across just said mustang, so guess we can see our own names but players can't this is all so pointless...like you censored a rated M game... for what

Things that are acceptable to Rockstar:
- Robbery
- Violence
- Extreme gore
- Animal cruelty
- Illegal Alcohol
- Countless harmful cheats
- Countless harmful glitches
Things that are NOT acceptable to Rockstar:
- "Offensive" Names
- Money glitches
- Private lobby glitches

Don't forget about the cocaine gum! Every time my moonshine wagon gets stopped and the agents asks what I'm hauling I say "Nothing here but a full wagon of cocaine, sir. Would you like a sample?"

u/Darkest-fae Sep 25 '24
I got back into the game with a group of friends only for this to happen. If they are trying to push the player base to play gta instead they will find they messed up big time. I refuse to play gta as I think the game sucks.

u/Imaginary-Series4899 Bounty Hunter Sep 25 '24
I've never played any of the GTA games, but I have some friends who would like to play GTA6 when it comes out and I did have in mind to join them, but now that's not gonna happen.
Not going to give R* any money to the game that ruined my favorite game, Red Dead.

I'm mostly pissed about this cuz I took the time coming up with serious names for all my horses based on my characters lore and even came up with a cool posse name. "Red Baron Dubois's posse"

So I have been playing RDO quite consistent since beta (and any inconsistency is not because I've been bored of the game, but rather because adult life has prevented me from playing as much as I'd like!). I have enjoyed the game since launch, I have enjoyed the game through lesser/ disappointing updates, I have enjoyed the game through lack of updates, I never partook in the 'funeral' because the game was still very much alive for me...
But this shit right here.... yeah now they might lose me too. Wtf Rockstar?!

Thanks for your input, but nobody is jumping to conclusions here. Rockstar posted it to their announcements page themselves. I guess some people just assume others don’t know what they’re talking about.

What is the beaver hat glitch? That name is too crazy for no explanation… & I’d like an answer from reddit, I know I could just look it up lol

u/Budget_Background578 Sep 26 '24 edited Sep 26 '24
Basically the beaver garment set shows in the item wheel and for some reason when people wear it while using never without one, they can instantly put it back on and take infinite headshots. Common with tryhard snipers

u/TheHundjager Trader Sep 26 '24
Rockstar, the game company that makes rated M games with heavy cussing and other adult references but also censors players who use the same cuss words in the game or clever names for their horse or posse. 😒🙄 Make it make sense

Ye i thought it was really stupid. But i think they can get sued for it so the need to fix it. It shouldn’t take long tho, let’s hope.

u/Suhva Collector Sep 24 '24
For a game that's rated M / 18+ it's pretty odd they could be sued for profanity of all things

u/Sir-Cartier1629 Bounty Hunter Sep 24 '24
Community guidlines. They know something we don’t so they r acting on it they didn’t care till now bcuz there was nothign to worry about clearly something came up and needs to be fixed before gta6
2
u/Suhva Collector Sep 24 '24
True, they could have been updating the game even before starting to work on GTA6 but I didn't think having another game in the works would get them this motivated. I haven't touched my copy of GTA5 and Online for a good while because of all the ways I got killed just trying to get somewhere...

u/WeDoingThisAgainRWe Sep 24 '24
That rating doesn’t equate to a free for all for players to be abusive to other players. And that’s how this stuff is viewed. It’s just a sign that the in game content between players and NPCs can be that level and violence can happen.

u/Stubborn_Amoeba Bounty Hunter Sep 25 '24
we have the ability to report players but they ignore that. The game still makes a lot of money so they should actually take reports more seriously. God mode, invisible more, off map mode, offensive names, are all reportable and all completely ignored when reported.

RDRO and GTAO have been literally unplayable for well over a year now, it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to not get absolutely rekt by modders, I havent seen a modfree lobby since januari 2022. Thats not a guess, thats literally. ZERO mod free lobbies. In either game.
GTAVI is cooked. (For pc at least)

I don’t know if anyone else had this happen but it kicked me out of all of the persistent posses I was apart of as well. And only remained in my own
Normally for most this wouldn’t be an issue and they could just join back later but I met a pretty decent guy and one of his other friends who he knew in real life when I first started playing in November 2023 who both helped me get started. We hung out fairly often and were good friends. He told me after a few weeks of knowing him that he has cancer. Never told me what kind and I didn’t want to push the question because I just wanted to be a good friend and not remind him of it. He was on treatment, things seemed fine. He passed on may 14th 2024. His friend told me. I dedicated a persistent posse slot to stay in his persistent posse forever. When I log on this morning before work to knock out a daily I see this and looked online. And that’s when I see I’m no longer in his posse
He’s not alive to add me back and I doubt when rockstar gets it fixed I’ll be added back. A little heartbreak to start the day
