The gang has ample opportunities to eliminate both Ross and Milton, yet they never do it. Arthur has the chance to do it while he’s fishing with Jack, but we can understand not wanting to subject the child to violence. However, both agents later show up, completely unprotected, to the Van der Linde camp in order to negotiate a tr
At first, shaving and changing outfits and needing sleep and food seemed like an annoyance. It really did. But once you got into a rhythm with Arthur, somehow that insane level of micromanaging actually became enjoyable. No idea how, really, but it
So when Arthur and his friends got thrown out of their boat on tempest-tossed waves and they all landed on Guarma together, I had to deal with a heavy dose of skepticism. There is no way that they should have been able to land together near the same spot, let alone survived their time spent nearly drown
The entire game must be populated by elephants because the NPCs will never forget a single thing that you do in front of them. Seriously. If your character is consistently finding themselves in hot water, make sure that they clear their bounty in any given area or town. If they fail to do so, the townspeople will remember the trouble that you got up to the last time that you visited their neck of the woods and will make nonstop comments about it upon your arri
So go into open world, get to rank 15 (not easy but so worth it) and make some cash to buy dynamite. Lots of it. Then (in online free roam), go to a fairly populated area and scout it out. Now go a few feet in front of you and set up some dynamite on the ground. Walk about six feet away from it and simply take a k
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
Her missing poster says that she’s been gone for fifteen years and that she was last seen around the Van Horn Trading Post. I scoured that place for 45 real-time minutes looking for clues. I came up empty. So imagine my disappointment when I caved and looked online for answers and found out there were n
If you want to make sure that the public stays in your favour, make sure that you unequip all weapons before striking up a conversation with an NPC. If you don’t, you may accidentally pull one out and the people within the game do not take too kindly to finding themselves in such a risky predicament. Citizens will either react in fear or anger and these reactions will remove the ability to continue conversation with them entirely. Heed my words. Unequip your weap
Just because the Van der Linde Gang is a group of outlaws, doesn’t mean they’re averse to usury. Leopold Strauss is the member of the Gang who gives loans to people with extremely high interest rates. He then sends Arthur to collect the de
There is indeed a blood-sucking vampire prowling the streets of Saint Denis. (Anyone else struggling with pronouncing “Saint Denis?”) If you track down some vampire etchings on the building walls of the city, you will eventually find this vamp
The handful of people who know about this trick right now feel like Gods in this game, and for good reason. Lasso griefers are the worst thing about Red Dead Redemption 2 treasure maps Dead Online . They somehow thinking lassoing you makes them some Joker-like deity that decides who lives, dies, or stays tied up in purgatory in the back of their horses. While you can hit buttons to break free once lassoed, do you know how to keep yourself from ever being lassoed? We do. It’s called a knife, and should be pretty easy to figure out (though very few ha
Arthur Morgan is an incredibly lucky man (you know, aside from contracting tuberculosis). After the ship bound for Cuba sinks in the middle of the ocean, Arthur miraculously washes up on the shores of Guarma, which is basically a miracle in its
There was a gratifying feeling to doing chores at camp and hearing everyone thank you, then being able to upgrade. It is all stuff that has been implemented in games before, but never as well as it is h
It could very well be argued that **Red Dead Redemption 2 ** is the greatest gaming achievement of all time. It is a game so sweeping in its scope that very few people who play it are even having the same experiences. Some see the “tiny church” in the swamp. Some don’t. Some see the UFOs . Some don’t. And the thing that is so remarkable is, we know we still have tons of Easter eggs and secrets to discover about this game over the next year. We have barely scratched the surface of this western opus, as it is a little over a month old. But to say it raised the bar for gaming is putting it mil
It also showed the true scope of the game, as you could harass anyone in the game and get a reaction. In game worlds normally full of dead, blank, lifeless NPCs and canned interactions, that is the one aspect that truly showed how huge in scale RDR2 truly is. And outside of showing the impressive scale of the game, it was just incredibly funny. Here’s hoping every single game that comes out henceforth has an antagonize but
