I'd rather have some good dlcs, forget about mp. The current state of the game won't benefit it at all. If it does, perhaps minuscule when majority of the players want a good story driven dlc. I think adding mp is detrimental to the game if they push it.
The game need bug fixes and additonal features:
-AI overhaul (Not expecting an RDR2 AI with a day and night cycle for each NPC. Iirc, they don't even move their mouths when they speak in this game)
-Need NCPD fixes where they don't magically spawn behind me and the peds don't even chase us by cars; they simply stop chasing me after running away from them by a block or two
-Additional activities, such as going out to bars, play darts or w/e
-Joytoys are lackluster
-Animations when drinking or eating after buying something from vendors ( We are simply sent to the UI screen to buy them and are sent immediately to our inventory)
-Fix V's atrocious shadow
-The driving in this game is hard to handle unless I take my bike
-Map is way too zoomed in (modders are even fixing the game for you for better gaming experience. Unfortunately, console players have to deal with it way much longer than the pc players. Even after the fix, the map is flickering and probably that's why the map is too zoomed in. Another example of rushed releases)
-Proper physics in the world, such as when a car is dumped into the sea there's no splash physics that should have been there or when something thrown into the water
-Hopeful to see a third person cutscenes or have the option to switch between the two whether during gameplay or cutscenes (tbh, what's the point of making your character to look good when 95% of the time we can't even see our character and we only see V's tpp in the final mission. 5% where we see our character when opening the UI screen instead, when checking our reflection in the mirror and photo mode)
-Let us climb walls with Mantis Blades (wall climbing was scrapped *cries*)
-Body/car customizations (this one is so lackluster, tbh. The game doesn't even let us change our appearance after the character customization at the start of the game)
-Different story lifepaths (advertising it as rpg when it is not. No impactful outcomes for most of the dialogue choices in the game until the very last raid or mission. Side missions, yes, but not so much of an impact in the main story)
-V's expanded story in multiple endings, before he/she became a merc, and expansion with Jackie (have no attachment to Jackie with that 6 months montage seriously, which is an aweful way in storytelling perspective. No sense of achievemnt at all by doing a 6 months montage. I find it pretty rushed)
-Continue some side missions with such bad open endings
-Let us take our romantic interest somewhere by hanging out with them (they just sit on their bums in one place with a few lines of dialogues after their quests' done)
-Let us buy houses/mansions
-Game rebalance (it makes the gameplay so easy with crazy dmg output by almost one shotting everything)
-Some bosses are easier to deal with without a real fight even in very hard difficulty
I can probably add more to the list and they simply think that mp is a good idea by adding it to the game. The game is so empty after finishing all gigs, NCPD and side missions and there's literally nothing to do. I know that I'm just being wishful by listing the missing features and bug fixes for some of 'em; I don't expect them to do some of them, tbh. If possible, I want more of V's story expanded and preferably a longer one at that. The main story is way too short and they went overboard by shortening the main campaign, which is a gripe of mine. I'd just play an MMO if I want a multiplayer experience. Turning it a gta like or any semblance of an MMO/MP game, ruins the experience for me.
Advertising the game as such when there are so many missing features and bugs doesn't benefit the game by going hard on mp. At the early stage of the game, which it is, is even ridiculous to even think about mp already. Don't even think about mp when there's a lot to fix and add in the game. Make the single player a better experience first before thinking about mp. Further tarnishing the company's already bad rep with mp doesn't help the game stand its two feet.
Bad call also by restructuring the game to fit Keanu in the story. He's prolly good as a side character or even put him as DLC. There were so many good things that was in 2018 trailer gameplay of some sort and we got a half-assed game. It'd been nice to let the game cook in the oven further and not set dates after dates to release the game in this state. Looking at it right now, as if QAs didn't have time to even fix things because you're tryna ride with those holidays sales and all that.
