The actual online multiplayer aspect is really quite small. There are sponsor challenges that require you to partake in multiplayer events but all events are available to run solo. As far as there being 100 players in one spot at a time that’s not true. There are thousands of “ghost players” but those can be turned off. Every event is playable solo but the progression is kind of lame as you never know what gear you’ll get for rewards if you even get gear. Lots of duplicates and unless you’re one of the lucky people you’ll hit 4K stars before you get gold gear.
Thank you so much for this video! We need more of these videos about these games that suck because they are only made to play as if everybody in the world has online......
Thank you for this. I'm not a big fan of multiplayer games and games that require to be connected online in order to play. I'm glad to know there is an offline mode for me to explore the world and basically go sight seeing. BTW, is the rocket wingsuit only available for the gold edition? Will mountain bikes be available for the standard edition? I don't want to pay $100 for the gold edition just for the ability to ride a mountain bike when all I'm looking for is playing solo to relax and absorb in the atmosphere and environments.
Granted online is awesome but It's actually kind of sad that there's not proper offline modes...whatever happened to the good old days of arcade racers with cool campaings, these devs don't care for solo people but they're totally wrong if this game flops earlier than they think it will last, when the servers will eventually shut down there's no value with some of these online games...AND this particular game will look even MORE sad and hollow when they terminate the online modes, at least driveclub had the offline events via small cups and battlefront 2 has skirmish modes but this??? just you all alone and that's it, super sad. It's crazy to think that we still can play games like ss tricky today with no problems and this will eventually end it's cicle and that's it, no value AT ALL in the end...not only that, imagine if this game flops and people won't play it that much in a year, pathetic really. BTW this game is only 20 gb...cool.
@Conor O In Normal edition: Skis, Snowboards, Bikes, Rocket Wingsuit, Wingsuit, Snowmobile, Paramotor; In Gold edition/ Year 1 Pass: Rocket Bike, Rocket Skis, BMX Sport later on; In ULTIMATE Edition: A bunch of Exclusive Legendary but purely astehtic Costumes;
@@blinx8706 Well you in gold edition you get them freely. So you can use them while exploring the map and everywhere you want. In Standard you can use them in mass races and special challenges
I can’t seem to even connect to the game is why I’ve search a video on how to connect to the game. I think I found one RUclips guy who explain on settings to connect from PS settings. Not sure if I should my friend who knows about Tech said not not much mess with Settings
This is so bumming. I wanted an offline story mode to play VR. Once you’re on VR and the servers it crashes.. this is why Ubisoft is not doing too well.. they don’t listen..
I was just about to buy this game for like 11 bucks but I see there is no real offline mode and I’m an old school gamer that’s just not go cut it for me even if it’s a cheap game now they need to put more into there offline mode instead of being cash cows
So many Online-coercion & games with 3rd party DRMs get ruined by this. This doesn't even really have any disadvantages, on the contrary, it would have a positive effect on the game and purchases. I'm not surprised at all about companies like Ubisoft & EA, just bad & evil Companies.
Would zen mode be good for young kids? Ages 6-8? They mostly play Roblox and Minecraft. Basically wondering around aimlessly. Edit: They don't want to "lose or die."
My PS4 console only connects to the internet _sometimes_ and it always gets stuck loading when I try to enter the WiFi setup, making any attempts to make progress in this game a slog. Any suggestions for what to do? It's a PS4 slim
I hate fucking multiplayer and I hate when you buy a game and find out that you have to play it online to get any kind of enjoyment out of it. Like goddamn Battlefield. You kind of think the fuckers could have actually created an actual campaign. Pure fucking laziness
One of the many reasons this game is trash but doesn't have to be. So many things about this game that could be changed to make it better.They don't care about that though. All they care about is how they can suck money out of you through this one game for as long as possible. All the stuff you bought and unlocked cannot be used in offline mode. The stuff you get to use is bottom rung garbage. Making the game suck. Imagine paying all that money and spending all that time unlocking stuff just to get the worst stuff offline. Then all the dlc you buy when it first comes out ends up being super cheap later, bundled with a ton of other stuff for cheap, or sometimes even given away free. This game is nothing but a cash grab and I wouldn't spend another dime on it or buy the next one that comes out. I uninstalled it and don't even play it anymore. I just play skate 3 and session skate sim. Still looking for a good downhill bike game and snowboarding game.
Yeah it’s pretty messy on my base PS4, looks quite a bit better on PS4 Pro. PS5 doesn’t look much better than Pro but it is 60fps while Pro is 30fps. I also found that some parts of the map look way better than other parts
@@DestructionGames I'm playing on the Xbox but in all honesty I think it looks great especially riding in the sun and the water on the roads look amazing
This game would have been so great with a full single player mode and local offline multi-player 😔
We have and online mode
@@amalyaroman816 he means for playing with the boys when you only got one console at the crib
Split screen nigga
That would be very usefull
Too bad ubisoft is a fuckint disgusting company
So basically you are all alone in a big azz lonely world..
No Split, No Game !
Thanks for this video. I was going to buy, but want a stronger single player mode. Maybe I'll wait until it comes down in price a bit.
The normal version is free in the ps4 and ps5 today
On sale for 30-35 right now
on sale right now for 23.99, think I'm gonna get it
@@cryptidsgaming1518 just picked up the ultimate edition for 38! how have you been liking the game?
On sale for 9.99 rn
The idea of this game is amazing, thanks for the video it just what I needed.
why cant we atleast have our gear we got in career mode, i dont care about progression i just want to roam around on my bikes
Why make a game that will not function once the servers are down. Just make bots.
Exactly what i was thinking! With bots this would be the perfect game, i mean zen mode is still cool but not as cool as the challenges are
So basically no buy for me, such a shame i was really hyped for this one, whats wrong with offline mode??
Nothing is wrong with offline mode, it's just u and where ever u want to go on the map, u just ride.
I'm with you though I might wait until it's heavily on sale just to have it eventually
@@A_Nellprober right now its a hot mess, everywhere you go there are 100 people

Do i need ps plus to play online in this game?
just the video i needed, thank you!
I know right and him saying that his ps4 has never been connected to the internet means that you dont have to update the game to get the offline mode
if i buy the game, with internet and no ps plus/xbox gold can i play carreer?zen mode is really bad.
I think this is a wait until it's 75% off to buy.
It’s 60% off rn
@@lincdog25 its free now
It's 70% off now in playstation
So it's basically steep but just way less depressing and lonely
Unfortunately, it requires PS plus to play online multiplayer, on an online multiplayer game, that it's not free.
Thank you so much for this video! We need more of these videos about these games that suck because they are only made to play as if everybody in the world has online......
Just bought this game for $5 brand new at gamestop lol worth it
Damn

@@benspouse9840 so if we get the standard edition can we get to use the rocket skis ?
@@blinx8706 Well you in gold edition you get them freely. So you can use them while exploring the map and everywhere you want. In Standard you can use them in mass races and special challenges
Why wouldn't they add snowboards I have 6 different pairs of skis and I hate skiing
They do
so bored to play alone in this huge map they had to put career mode with bod at least
Ubisoft are so annoying we don't have unlimited internet so I can't play their games which sucks because they gave some great games
Seems like a you problem
@@SubzHimself It will become an everyone problem when Ubisoft decides to shut down the servers
@@DestructionGames exactly just see what happened to anthem
@@SubzHimself ok shill
@@DestructionGames I never bought because of this
But I can only hope if I try it out hopefully it might “not positive” but might maybe connect to game
See the year 1 pass does it give you all the outfits in the seasonal part of the shop ???
no
The question is, if I buy the game disc, can I play it online?
It's the same if you have internet connection but no PS plus?
bro why i can't play zen mode +i turned conexion off
I can’t seem to even connect to the game is why I’ve search a video on how to connect to the game. I think I found one RUclips guy who explain on settings to connect from PS settings. Not sure if I should my friend who knows about Tech said not not much mess with Settings
Can I play riders republic online with real people, not robots without ps plus?
How do I unlock zen mode then?
I bought the ultimate edition riders republic but I don’t have PlayStation plus. What do I have?
Is this base ps4? Looks great
This is so bumming. I wanted an offline story mode to play VR. Once you’re on VR and the servers it crashes.. this is why Ubisoft is not doing too well.. they don’t listen..
i heard they added the snowboard and a new bike to zen mode?
This is just PATHETIC!
I would have buyed And loved this game of it had a single player camping And modes.
I wish it was free 😢
So…you can’t play career mode offline?
Nope
@@--PaZuZu-- That pissed me off because I was excited for it. And Zen Mode seems like a middle finger to those who don't have PS Plus and Xbox Live.
@@supermariofan03 Yeah i agree. So this game is a NO for me. .

Do you need Xbox live to play online
Thanks man for this video
Question: can you play it online without ps plus?? But have internet connection??

Do you need some sort of game pass (on pc) in order to play online?
I mean, the 1 year pass, do you need it for playing online?
@@Mirty_Mtb No, the Year 1 pass is just for extra content. You can play online without it.
@@TeknoThom thanks!
17:20 that was funny
Please tell me how to play
Just got it
How would I switch sports that I’m doing I’m on x box
Steep 2
D
Looks terrible on ps4
Yeah it’s pretty messy on my base PS4, looks quite a bit better on PS4 Pro. PS5 doesn’t look much better than Pro but it is 60fps while Pro is 30fps. I also found that some parts of the map look way better than other parts

@@DestructionGames since when is PS4 pro only 30 fps?
Lol, not at all, and I have a Pro. Of course, it's not truely a next gen game either in terms of graphical capabilities.
You need internet for zen mode
No it doesn’t. My console is fully offline in the video and it can play zen mode fine
@@DestructionGames thx

Question: can you play it online without ps plus?? But have internet connection??
No you need it but you can get the cheapest subscription tho
Do you need PlayStation plus to play with other people online?
Yes unless you're talking about a free-to-play game, of which this game is not.
