"Is it worth it?"

I would love to give this game a positive review and a thumbs up but I can not in good conscience do so, so here are the events that led to this negative review, enjoy.

I boot up the game,
I spawn in,
I call my horse,
I stow my weapons,
I look at the days challenges,
I see that there is one for skinning four coyotes,
There are three coyotes in front of me, lucky me,
I kill two with the third coyote escaping,
I ride over by the pelts,
I skin one of them and stow the pelt on my horse,
Me and my horse are blown up,
During my respawn time I look at the players in the session,
There is a level 333 player with every letter of their name a different color,
I click on their RS name and I block them as I do with all cheaters,
Their RS name does not match their in game name (common cheater thing they do),
I spawn in and blow up again,
This time it lets me press charges against rainbow name doesn't match 333 person,
I ask them for a feud,
I spawn in my game crashes and I must restart my PC.

I've played RDR2O for over 671 hours and my opinion of the game is based solely on the Online as I've never played the Story Mode, I love this game in fact the only game that is better in my book is a whole series of games and even then it is very close, I'm level 198 with again over 671 hours the fact that I've suffered through this game simply because I love it shows just how good of a game it is and how good it could be if RS would simply do anything at all to stop the cheaters, now for the third time I've played over 671 hours of this game and in all that time the longest I've ever gone without running into a cheater was maybe, maybe one hour most times its within twenty to thirty minutes at best and at worst go back and read the first part of this review again.

There is also a difficulty Curve for players using a Keyboard and players using a Controller as Controller users can lock onto enemies, animals and other players this means that players on Keyboard are at a great disadvantage as they need to be far better skilled with aiming then their Controller counterparts, I'll note that players on Controllers still show a great deal of personal skill but that Keyboard users are not given any assistance or at the very least very, very little assistance if any, in the end this means that I as a Keyboard user must be faster and more accurate then a Controller user if I am ever going to win a PVP encounter.

RS has also been banning people that haven't done anything while somehow still missing the people flying around as 20 foot hawks so that's fun, RS doesn't care about anything but Money.

I want to give this game a positive review but I simply can not the game is broken not because of bad code or a game ending bug but because RS does not give a single solitary thought about the players that play and love their game, RS sits back and watches as cheaters destroy their game, and that's before you look at the fact that the cheaters are even stealing In Game Gold which could be considered real world money destroying the games economy for other real players, then there's the time that they waste from the real players I'd wager that about 100 of those over 671 hours was spent running from session to session so i can actually play the game, in all you've got a broken game so do not buy this game unless you are willing to suffer through the cheaters and trust me you will suffer at their hands time and time again until RS does something about it, RS please do something do anything please do anything and help us real players, and when you do I'll be overjoyed to change this review to what the game should be getting.

So in closing you must be asking yourself "Is it worth it?"
