The most observant among you will already know this, but I personally spent a somewhat embarrassing amount of time searching around for a manual save game option. There’s nothing worse than pulling off something completely awesome, only to die and realize the game never auto-sa
How do you fancy being able to circle strafe around enemies while riding your horse? If you want to channel your inner 90s FPS protagonist and combine power and maneuverability, you can! All you have to do is hold down Square/X and a direction on the X-axis. Another little bit of advanced equine tactics for you: if you want to do a sharp 90-degree turn, you can do so by holding down R1/RB and hitting a direction on the X-a
Realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm’s reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a Red Dead Redemption 2 roleplay alert. Regardless, I think they’ve probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They’ve made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that’s something that’s definitely being achie
Located on the Eastern side of Braithwaite Manor, you’ll come across a large collection of houses located on the edge of the water. Head south into the shrubs at this point and you’ll start to hear the voice of a young g
While it’s briefly touched upon in an early cut-scene that you should wear your bandana to hide your identity while doing anything illegal, the game doesn’t mention the other mechanics of the bandana. For instance, if a random NPC sees you commit a crime while wearing the bandana, you’ll still become wanted, but they (usually) won’t be able to pin the crime on Arthur Morgan, meaning if you can avoid the immediate consequences of the law, there won’t be any lasting penalties, at least in the form of a bou
Bigfoot has been synonymous with Rockstar games since 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . There is a picture in your house fans thought was a clue to its discovery, but it wasn’t in the game. This continued into the first Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto V and is back yet again for this g
However, the bandana isn’t an item that comes without consequence. For instance, lawmen don’t particularly react well to seeing a masked stranger, whether you’ve done anything wrong or not. And, wearing a bandana, committing a crime, and coming into town in the same outfit minus the bandana isn’t going to do much for you. After all, the NPC’s in this game aren’t idiots. Make sure you’ve got an entirely different outfit for your criminal activities, and you’ll find the lasting consequences much less sev
Red Dead Redemption II is an awesome game. One I’ve been pouring over for more than a week now. I’m discovering new things every day as well as the larger community of fans out there. Compared to most open world games, discovery is actually a tricky thing because travel is actually really taxing. Before I get to share some unique mechanics, treasure, and quests, let me complain a bit further about the fast travel system. A system I have posted my frustration about twice now with my two earlier articles. If you missed my piece on things that don’t make sense in the game, or my article on things I wish I knew before starting, well then please, take a gander at those. Anyway in order to properly make my point clear I thought it best talk about last year’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wi
There are quite a few things that you can do in combat , or in the moments just before or after, that Red Dead Redemption 2 puts on the player to figure out. One thing to keep in mind before combat is that you can actually fire warning shots by holding down the aim button, tapping up on the d-pad, and pressing fire. This can help to defuse a situation, or to convince someone that you mean business. But it can also backfire on you, causing someone to fire some shots of the non-warning vari
Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I’ve ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it’s also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone’s head or one of their limbs, then uh…things aren’t looking at all good for t
This would also make for a really creepy quest in a paranormal DLC. So if you head west of Van Horn Trading Post, you will find a lone cabin in the woods. In it, you’ll find a bunch of unnerving experiments. The creepiest of which is, well, I don’t know how else to put it. Whoever lived in this house made a ManBearPig. Yep, this is a realistic version of the joke from South Park . That’s what a lot of people believe online any
