Red Dead Redemption 2 Christmas Funny
Playing Red Dead Online can be a fun and engaging experience, but it can also get a little crazy sometimes. Players are unpredictable after all and not everyone logs on with the same intentions and a few don't even have a desire to play as intended.
Since its release, an interesting culture with unique problems has been created that every player must deal with. This has led to some hilarious memes about the game that just about anyone who logs on can relate to. Here are some of the gems people have made about this unique game.
10 Fastest Hand In The West
The go-to griefing tactic is to lasso other players. It's an effective way to immobilize someone and allows the griefer to drag them around, hogtie them, or simply lasso the player over and over again whenever they break free.
This meme illustrates how the average player has gotten quicker on the draw in order to combat this problem. Drawing a weapon and taking aim may not always work to deter every encounter, but getting a headshot usually does the trick.
9 Loyal Horse
Horses are a valuable commodity in the west and players will often have multiple as backups. Yet there's always that one horse in the collection that players prefer to use and develop a connection with. And with all the time and money spent on them it seems only natural they'd be there when the player needs them.
As this meme points out though this isn't always the case. Most horse breeds are skittish and are programmed to bolt at the first sign of trouble. Not only is it a major pain it can often feel like a bit of a betrayal from the animal the player made sure to take care of all this time.
8 Microtransactions
As any player knows microtransactions are a standard part of the video game industry. Seemingly every game has them to some degree and can be a good or bad thing depending on how they're implemented. Red Dead Online is no exception and has multiple cosmetic items for sale.
While they aren't required, and the player isn't inhibited in any way by choosing not to buy them the advertisements and announcements can get a bit pushy. Like the meme, players might often feel that Rockstar is like a creepy Smeagol watching over their shoulder.
7 Moonshiners Vs Naturalist
Roles are an interesting mechanic as they give players unique skills and abilities to build their fortunes in the west. Many players were excited for the Moonshiner role to arrive. It essentially functioned as a trader/smuggler.
Yet this meme points out how players waited forever for the Naturalist role to come out. It had been quite a stretch since Rockstar released a sizable update and many players were growing impatient. Still, being able to make a living as a legendary animal hunter can be a fun role.
6 Wild West Purge
It's no secret that there is a ton of griefing that goes on in Red Dead Online. It seems every other player is waiting for the chance to lasso someone or get into a gunfight for seemingly no reason other than they can.
These meme illustrates the possible mindset of the griefer. Individuals who believe the Wild West was a lawless time with no consequences for anyone's actions. While the reality wasn't quite that extreme, it doesn't stop griefers from turning the wild west into their own purging grounds.
5 Paranoia
With all the griefing going on players have become naturally suspicious of each other. When anyone can suddenly turn on the player and cause chaos it can be a harrowing experience to come across anyone. Not to mention the paranoia that comes through visiting populated towns full of players.
This meme accurately shows how it feels to cross paths with other players. The player simply never knows if they're in the presence of a posse looking to cause trouble.
4 Rockstar's Plan For Griefing
Due to how prevalent griefing is in the game some players have demanded that Rockstar do something about it. There has also been a rise in cheating now that the game has been out for a while and everyone is understandably upset about this.
Yet it seems Rockstar doesn't have any solid plans to handle either problem. It can be argued that griefing is a natural part of any online experience and players simply need to be prepared for it. But cheating is another matter. This meme shows that while it is frustrating, it can be amusing hearing Rockstar try and explain how they intend to stop it when it's obvious they have no idea.
3 Singleplayer Vs Online
The singleplayer experience in Red Dead Redemption 2 can leave the player feeling like a legendary gunslinger. The story centers around them and their actions shape the face of the west. The player is the unstoppable protagonist.
The online experience is a far different story as this meme points out. The meme could be illustrating how the player can feel a bit silly and often vulnerable as they go about their day. It could also illustrate how game-breaking it can be to find other players goofing off with no intention of playing seriously.
2 Special Attention
Many players have felt that Red Dead Online often gets shelved by Rockstar so they can work on GTA Online. For some, it seems that GTA Online has fewer problems, gets the better updates, and generally has more attention and promotion from Rockstar.
This meme shows how the Red Dead Online community sometimes feels when it seems GTA Online gets special treatment. A good example of this is the 2020 updates promised for both games. Red Dead Online received the Naturalist role and GTA Online is getting a new area.
1 Story Vs Online
This hilarious meme shows how stark a contrast playing the story mode is compared to being online. During the story, the player engages in a variety of intense heists, guns down rival posses, and gets revenge against traitors.
The online experience is very different. No matter how strong and confident the player is in their gear and abilities, they're still one griefer away from being lassoed and looking silly.
