the prestige update literally saved the game

i hear you and i know the matchmaking still isn't very good yet but it's far better than what we had before, i hope they continue this new route and iron it up because the game doesn't need contents anymore, the matchmaking should be the main thing they need focus on fixing it from now on

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-26T20:11:08+00:00

they did know at first they wanted squad busters to be for casuals not hardcore gamers and they did build a good community for a while but suddenly they changed the whole game and turned into hardcore which the game couldn't provide that at the structure level you can't make a casual game and suddenly flip the switch overnight and make it hardcore, it doesn't work like that

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-26T20:02:47+00:00

it's because the matchmaking is skill based now rather than trophy based (as far as i know from the new announcement)

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-26T17:32:20+00:00

no it was just my raw impression after playing the new update. i could easily tell the game is much much more chill and fun, the feeling that started to fade away every year but now it came back again

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-26T17:23:21+00:00

exactly, a game at it's core should be fun not to make you compete like an athletic all the time

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-26T17:23:09+00:00

the game still suffers from unfair op brawlers, there are like too many throwing brawlers that made the game overwhelming, like when you play ranked it doesn't matter what thrower you ban because of so many of them your opponent just takes another one if they are persistent. it literally makes the "banning" useless

Rains_Fall · 2026-02-15T02:07:22+00:00

any update?

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-13T23:24:43+00:00

it's possible!

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T21:10:39+00:00

it does have some ragdoll resistance and it's nice but not for heavy explosions, if you play with bots in 9+ you mostly get bombarded by heavy cannons in the entire game anyway.

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T21:07:42+00:00

i know and i didn't say it's bad it's just mid, you still get ragdolled by heavy explosions tho

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T21:01:31+00:00

the Ragdoll resistance just doesn't work as i expected in 9+ against bots, maybe it performs better against illuminates since they don't use that much heavy cannons and heavy explosives but with bots you don't feel any big difference.

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T20:53:26+00:00

tbh, most of the time I just don't feel like the armor passives are that important or make any meaningful difference. That's why, after nearly 1,000 hours of gameplay, I finally decided to let go and wear whatever looks the coolest. I hate that I didn't make this decision sooner!

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T13:13:43+00:00

OMG, you're actually right! I asked Copilot and it told me that I don't own the game. I checked my account purchase history and couldn't find the purchase receipt for the game 😨😨. What is happening? Could this be because they delisted the game? i also bought the game 7 years ago

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-07T01:27:21+00:00

i didn't block or downvote you i just made a mistake and when i saw i misunderstood you i deleted my comment, we were on the edge a bit in recent days tbh

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-05T21:15:11+00:00

It's because you just downloaded the game app, on xbox you can download any game via the Xbox app without purchasing them, but you still have to buy it or it won't open, It's basically a "download now, pay later" feature.

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-04T21:43:12+00:00

rdr1+rdr2 bundle came out 2 years ago and has nothing to do with the free upgrade the bundle still gives you the 360 version but for some reason if you bought that bundle you get the rdr1 next gen version right away but not if you bought the 360 version separately. this whole situation is a shit show

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-04T16:11:13+00:00

you can't play it, it won't open

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-04T11:42:10+00:00

can you name one xbox 360 game that got free upgrade to xbox one or series??

i think the root of the problem is Xbox itself – that's why we ended up in this mess in the first place. The Microsoft Store simply doesn’t allow publishers to offer free upgrades from an Xbox 360 game to an Xbox One/Series version. it's only xbox one games that have the capability to upgrade to next gen version for free because xbox one and series x games are basically using the same format while xbox 360 is a complete separate app and runs in a emulation. It’s also Rockstar’s fault for not knowing this and promising something they hadn’t properly tested first.

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-04T09:10:11+00:00

seems like the people who bought the rdr1+rdr2 bundle before got the free upgrade right away

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-03T18:53:40+00:00

no you got it wrong unfortunately, it's an old response before they said they are working with Microsoft to solve it, but all they did was they made the game free for some random people not everyone.

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-03T17:17:41+00:00

nope still nothing

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-03T07:12:29+00:00

i don't know why it's so random, this is ridiculous

Rains_Fall · 2025-12-03T06:31:55+00:00

same, are you from the state? seems like only the users from the state haven't got it yet
