It's a Rockstar Game
This Review is for RDR2 Online only.
Its an Online Rockstar Game, (ORG) and Rockstar wants nothing but your money. In order to begin the Entertaining jobs and money-making activities of this game, you grind for 30+ Hours or you pay 10$.
ORG's, like GTA are designed to hook, and convince you to buy. Before I'm labeled as a low-level Hater, I'm level 130 in GTAV and 35/17 moonshiner in RDR2. But only because I paid, in both games. 15$ total, but still money to a company I believe to be Truly Evil.
Using my Quarantine Freetime, and 5$ I grinded for 4 days almost straight and got what I wanted, but my friend who doesn't have as much time and won't spend money is 10 levels below me and simply has nothing to do, we've been grinding together for days, but he still has a legitimate, undeniable disadvantage.
Buy if you like pretty games, have hundreds of hours of freetime, an addictive personality and a burning hole in your pocket.
Note: I've heard quite good things about the Offline Game
