Not only does it provide insight into the gang’s disintegration, but Arthur is a bit of an artist. He fills parts of his diary with little sketches of things he has seen on his journeys. So be sure to read your di
No longer do you have to wade out into the water, cast out your line, wait for five hours, and then reel in a single fish. You just ignite the fuse, toss the stick of dynamite into the water, and ba-blam! Instant fish fil
Aside from the story, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is amazing as well. Rockstar Games has always been adept at making vast open worlds, but Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the cake. The space your outlaws inhabit feels huge and immersive. Part of the immersion is due to the fact that there are a plethora of activities you can participate in. I’ve had the game for a while, and I feel as if I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I can accompl
More ground to cover leaves room for more mistakes. While the untrained eye will reach the credits without much to complain about, savvier gamers will see the flaws right away. Red Dead Redemption II often does not make sense. For a game that tells such a detailed character study in regards to Arthur Morgan, a lot of the key beats genuinely do not make sense. Whether they be narrative or simply character related, thinking too hard helps the cracks show far more than Rockstar perhaps ever intended. This is not to say the story is bad, webpage far from it, but that it is undeniably fla
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
This weapon is unique as it involves completing the Gunslinger side quests. These side quests take you away from the main plot of the game, but boy do they provide some of the best weapons in the game. One of the quests involves hunting down a shootist named Billy Midnight. If you end him, you’ll grab his powerful Mauser pistol, with gold engravings and great accuracy and fire rate. While the damage is average, the weapon is powerful to have early on in the g
Except the very premise of this opening makes absolutely no sense. Dialogue strongly suggests that the main characters are fleeing the snowstorm, but their trajectory on the mountain has them going up it rather than down. Naturally, going up a mountain during a snowstorm will only result in heavier winds. What was Dutch think
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the year. I shouldn’t have to state why this is the case to anyone who has played it, but just in case you haven’t, let me fill you in. The game… is… awesome! The story is a moving tale about one of the last few bands of outlaws left in the West. They are a close-knit group of people, more of a family than a gang, but you have to watch as the ties that bind them slowly unravel. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, we more or less know that the Van der Linde gang will fall apart , but that makes it no less tragic when it happ
It would appear that you can be a bit of a buccaneer in this old west game. A very old and rare pirate cutlass with a long snapped blade and decorative golden hand guard can be found within the game map. The ancient relic of a weapon can be found lodged deep inside an abandoned boat that ran adrift in the swamplands surrounding Saint Denis. It has quite a long range in comparison to other melee weapons and manages to be a powerful weapon despite its
Red Dead Redemption II ’s opening is truly incredible. In the burst of a blizzard, Arthur Morgan rides through uncharted territory with his face, braving the weather at every turn. When morale should be at its absolute lowest, the gang is pulled together by their valiant leader Dutch. He makes an impassioned speech and players immediately know they’re in capable ha
Made up of six chapters and two epilogues, Red Dead Redemption II ’s story is over twice as long as the first game’s. Arthur Morgan’s storyline simply dwarfs John Marston’s in terms of raw content. Is is better, though? When it comes down to it, probably not. For as amazing as the plot actually is, juggling sophisticated themes right up to the very end, the original Red Dead Redemption simply tells the tighter story. Due to being shorter, there is next to no fluff and every moment counts. The same cannot be said for Arthur’s odyssey across the Wild W
Okay, so you’ve bonded with your horse. What exactly does that get you? Well, it turns out there are quite a few different benefits to having a horse in your corner. There are some gradual bonuses; the more you’ve bonded with your horse, the further your horse will be willing to gallop on its own when it hears you whistle. It’s certainly not going to run across the map when you call, but the range definitely does improve. And, the more you bond with your horse, the less likely it is to get stolen. Apparently those talks about “Stranger Danger” paid off. Your horse will also be willing to wade into deeper waters with you, and generally be fine with going into sketchier terr
