We all know of the wild west through pop culture, but no classic Western can beat just how in-depth this game is about this time period and the grim realities of it. From characters getting ill from diseases of the time, to having to put an injured horse down with a single shot to the skull, RDR2 gives us stunning insight into how hellish that time was for the people who lived through
Just those opening couple hours in the snow made you grab a blanket off the back of the couch to wrap yourself in, feeling like the cold was biting while you played it. Add to that the frankly stunning weather effects and particle effects and you have what just might be the prettiest looking game ever m
The leaker also correctly stated that the game has “5 zones,” which is true. There are five states in Red Dead Redemption 2 , including New Austin from the previous game. (Speaking of New Austin, the rest of this article spoils the epilogue of the game, so that’s another warning for you.)
Your time on the tropical-paradise-gone-wrong is remarkably short, which can understandably leave some players feeling somewhat cold. The good news is that if you ever want to go back there, you can, at least for now. You need to glitch your way back. It’s a very complex glitch that involves making your way to the edge of the world, then falling through it, but it’s currently unfixed. If you really want to go back, there are very detailed videos on YouT
After Beecher’s Hope is finished and John attends to some unfinished business, players can sometimes find Uncle taking a break in the exact same spot on the porch where he perishes in the first game. To add to the heartbreak, he even sits in the same posit
No big deal, since Marston, doesn’t have any personal investment in the conflict—but why does no one ever really call him out on it? He’s easily able to saunter over to the other side without even the slightest resistance—it’s a bit of a stretch methi
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s smash hit sequel to their beloved story about a former outlaw hunting down his old game. What’s more is that RDR2 is also a prequel to the original game, which allows for Rockstar to insert as many tributes and foreshadowing into the new story as they please. Well, boy did they deliver! This time around, you play as Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang lieutenant who witnesses the twilight days of John’s infamous former gang and must make hard choices concerning just who and what he is loyal
After Arthur Morgan either dies of tuberculosis or gets shot/stabbed by Micah Bell, depending on your ending, you swap to playing as John Marston with his family; or, as the leaker puts it, “jon marsten.” As the poster originally described at the time:
If you haven’t finished both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 , then put down this article and either go play them or Learn Additional Here find a Let’s Play video to watch, because today we’re going to be delving into major spoilers for both games.

He even calls it a paradise on earth—so what happens when you finally make it over the border? Irish up and leaves back to the US never to be seen again. It’s a weird move considering his existence in the States is beyond miserable, plus the trip has been one arduous and dangerous ride—yet for no specific reason, he heads back ag
Put a dead body into a pig pen, the pigs will eat it. Watch a guy mining gold, he will call you out and tell you to be nice (which you probably won’t be once he finds some). If you use Deadeye while in a field, you can track the wind direction by watching where the pollen is blow
When I entered the kid’s room though, I found him crying underneath his bed. When I went to take the cigarette cards, he began pleading with me to leave them as they were all that he had left from his mother. I, as Arthur, killed him in cold blood, thinking it was mercy to spare him a life with a mother gone and a father dead. While I was greatly affected by this, Arthur was unmoved, never uttering a word during the event and never writing about it afterwards. Rockstar saw fit to create unique dialogue for that situation, but not to create a response in Arthur to it. This may just be oversight, but it presented the character as unmoved by the killing he does, despite what he may say to Tilly or Mary-Beth at camp, and what he may write in his journal afterward.
Red Dead Redemption was the tale of John Marston being forced back into the life of an outlaw due to his family being held hostage by the government. Marston was a man who was tired of killing, but would do it anyway because he wanted his family back and to return to a life of peace. This is curiously repeated in the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 , as you once again take control of Marston as he seeks a peaceful life on the ranch of another only to be forced back into killing.
