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
That doesn’t mean it’s near flawless, though. As with even the greatest Rockstar Games’ product (and this is likely the best), there are weird tonal shifts, obnoxious side characters, and contradictions galore with the main protagonist. This leads to plenty of holes and dangling threads left in their overall result— Redemption 1 is just as guilty of this as their past ga
Red Dead Redemption 2 is basically the pinnacle of gaming. Okay, maybe not, but it has enjoyed immense success since its release back in October. It has received endless acclaim from professional critics and sold tens of millions of copies in just a few short days. It’s clear that people are greatly enjoying their time with the g
Without any surprise, I greatly want to warn those who have not played the game (what’s wrong with you???) that there will be SPOILERS aplenty, so read at your own caution. So let’s sift through this brilliant game and point out the things not so brilliant—and that just don’t plain make any sense whatsoever. Yeeee-
The Steelhead Trout is easily one of the best fish you can find in the game. Not just because it makes for a good and reliable meal, but because it fetches a nice price. All you need is some worm bait one of the cheapest baits in the game) and to fish in either the Kamassa River, Flat Iron Lake, Lannahechee River, Lower Montana River, or San Luis Ri
And speaking of tuberculosis, how is it that Arthur didn’t infect a single person? TB is a very contagious disease that spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and only a few droplets of spit are required for infection. And, in case you weren’t paying attention, Arthur is hacking all over the place by the end of the story. Yet no one became sick. The epilogue catches us up on various characters’ fates, and not a single one of them has passed from tuberculosis. It’s possible that the disease is latent in some of them, but that’s just speculation. It’s a miracle that no one became infected after Arthur coughed all over the c
Why didn’t the gang just eliminate both men then and there? Why even bother having the discussion in the first place? Sure, it wouldn’t have solved their problems, but it certainly would have given them enough time to get out of do
Events that players took part in get written about, and it’s interesting to read about them from a remote perspective. It is also a testament to the amount of detail developers put in this game if they have dynamic newspap
To call red dead redemption 2 Outfits Dead Redemption 2 big would be the understatement of the century. As well as containing a large chunk of the original game’s map, players also get to experience an at times disorientating big landmass made up of several wildly different states. While the waypoint system ensures that you never get lost in the traditional sense of the word, I’ve certainly found myself getting lost in a much more metaphysical way. When you’re presented with a world that is quite so huge, you can often wonder just where you should be going. What is worth seeing in this map? What am I potentially missing by not going here? Maybe it’s open world fatigue, but to me, it’s more that I’ve suddenly grown a massive sense of F
On that note, this also means you should avoid buying upgrades as much as possible. This is a bit more problematic since upgrading your weapons will actively make the game a smoother experience, but this is a luxury we can’t afford. Literally. You’re better off saving your money and getting accustomed to the guns as they come. A skilled or talented player won’t need upgrades to play well. Does it eliminate your in-game identity even more so? Most definitely, but that’s just an unfortunate consequence of Rockstar’s online game des
That especially hurt for two reasons: one, Arthur Morgan can’t just end Micah right after that, even though I really wanted to, and second, I had spent so much time petting local dogs and cats that Micah’s actions seemed to erase all the time I had spent giving them a pat – by the way, you can give every dog in this game a good ol’
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.
