I felt pressured numerous times throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 to care for the Van der Linde Gang. My campsites keep reminding me to socialize and donate my money to the comfort of the group. I must have sunken thousands of dollars to make the gang ha
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 2 Missions Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto V and is back yet again for this g
Once you do, the map will update with your next location. Keep in mind, he’ll only show up late at night. Pop in around midnight and you’ll come face to face with the “vampire” Rockstar so lovingly included, and a unique weapon as a rew
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ has been available for just over a week, giving players ample amount of time to experience the 60-plus hours of storyline content, in addition to the side-missions and countless other things to do in the vast, wide-open frontier. With so much to do in the game, it would be easy to overlook the overarching story. Luckily, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ features a familiar, yet compelling story of the rough life that was led by most in the wild w
Minigames in open-world titles, by most accounts, can serve as bite-sized bits of variety in-between missions or while traveling across the map; good for some mild distraction, but usually not much more. But in the rare occasions, minigames like these can add a surprising amount to the believability and depth of a world beyond just its map size and scale. Given that I put in as much time into The Witcher 3 ‘s Gwent as I did in most other games by themselves, there’s certainly something to be said that when done well, open world minigames can add so much more to a believable game world in their own right. And inside the game’s world drenched in the imagery and themes of the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption ‘s minigames were definitely some of the best examples of that extra level of detail and immersion.
If you’re hunting all of the points of interest, first of all, are you crazy? Secondly, this next one is difficult to find. They’re located in Big Valley, west of the Owanjila Dam standing in a circle. What is, you ask? Well, the trees of cou
The smallest of pits and falls (by video game standards) have left my character either badly wounded or biting the dust. I’m telling you, it’s ridiculous. I’m not completely irate over this happening though. I’ve laughed more than a few times after a short trip managed to cut down Arthur Morgan in his pr
If you are looking for close quarters power, then this weapon is for you. A powerful shotgun, this weapon is unique as it takes a bit of exploration to find. It is owned by a hermit who lives in a cave in the North-West. Travel to the North-West of Big Valley, and you will find the hermit living inside of a cave. Defeat the hermit and you’ll gain this powerful shotgun that is perfect for close quarters firearm com
I typically avoid most forms of card games in a lot of open world games, but the way that Red Dead integrated these classic card games felt tried and true to its Western atmosphere and added so much more to my enjoyment of the world that Rockstar built. Heck; Red Dead ‘s Poker game more or less ended up teaching me the basics of the game in real life, at the time that I was playing it.
The aliens, skeletons, and mystery case are all creepy, but I think the most unsettling Easter egg is this one. If you go along the coast of the Braithwaite Manor you will eventually find an outhouse that has been chained shut. Through the crescent moon you can hear a woman’s voice. If you go near she’ll reach out her hand and start going ballistic. Eventually, she’ll start to recite random numbers. As of now, no one has figured out if they mean anything. It could be random, or it could be the start of something gran
Surprise, surprise, there are UFOs in this game. It’s pretty easy to find once you know where to go. If you travel northeast of the second N in New Hanover, you’ll see a lake. Once you’re there you’ll find skeletons inside a cabin in a scene straight from Fallout 4. There’s a cryptic letter that talks about other beings coming back for them at 2 A.M. If you go back inside at that time, you’ll see a ship fly above. Is this a clue for the DLC? Will we see cowboys and aliens duke it out? I hope
There are many people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Van der Linde gang has some new faces to see and new stories to learn. It’s a bit of a shame that in all of these meet-and-greets, we lose the opportunity to delve into the personalities of characters we knew from the original Red Dead Redempt
There was an odd period of games back around the late 2000s where the open world genre really flourished, but there was no swimming allowed. What I mean is these games would showcase these huge sprawling landmasses, but your character would melt as soon as it touched the wa
