There’s no denying that Red Dead Redemption 2 is without a doubt the game that I am most looking forward to this year (like many others). While I’ve been pondering its story and gazed at what we’ve seen from its breathtaking open-world, one of my secret wishes is that the game will nail the smaller details that I came to admire from Red Dead Redemption , and along with that I am hoping for the return of its signature Western minigames in the upcoming sequel.
“As a result of our outperformance in the second quarter and increased forecast for the remainder of the fiscal year, we are raising our fiscal 2018 outlook for Net Bookings and net cash provided by operating activities. We now expect fiscal 2018 to be another year of Net Bookings growth, as well as strong cash flow. Looking ahead, we expect fiscal 2019 to be a record year for Net Bookings and net cash provided by operating activities led by the upcoming launches of Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 and a highly anticipated new title from one of 2K’s biggest franchises. We have a robust development pipeline and are better positioned than ever for long-term growth and margin expansi
I told you that the discounts only get better! This is an exclusive 25% good-guy Arthur discount. If you thought 10% was good, you’re gonna love this one. Honor Level +5 grants players 25% off items like ammunition, clothing, and consumables in shops. The Wild West really remembers and rewards good de
Situational awareness is a skill needed for just about every video game, but it’s more necessary in some scenarios than others. And if you are hunting and your prey falls dead on the railroad tracks… it’s safest to keep both eyes peeled, as Reddit user johnnydoo2 learned the hard way when the train passed right through him and even scooped him up for a free ride. Things could have certainly gone worse; the train could have simply splattered him, but there’s no doubt his Arthur Morgan isn’t going to be forgetting that anytime soon. And what must the passengers on the train thou
Well, don’t. If you do, there’s a bug that causes John, Sadie, Abigail, and Jack to completely disappear from camp until Chapter 4. They’ll still appear during missions where they’re relevant, but you’ll miss out on any conversations, and most importantly, be unable to play Poker with them, until Chapter 4. If you do end up needing to retry a portion of the “Polite Society, Valentine Style” mission, it’s best to restart the mission entirely or reload a previous save, until a fix comes
Bless Rockstar. They might be amazing at creating worlds, but on the controls front, they’re kind of stuck in the last generation. Luckily, they also provide a solution! Go into the options and head to “third person controls.” Change this to “standard FPS.” Next go to “accessibility”, “running mode” and change it to “toggle to run,” and you’ll no longer have to tap X/A to sprint! Instead, you’ll just have to click in the left stick, with crouch moved to
When you’re hunting animals, you want to get the best shots you can, as this will improve the quality of the pelts you get. The cleanest shots are straight to the head. Switch to dead eye, and aim for the head. Press square/X to call to the animal to get them to raise their head for a more direct line of fire. Make sure you use the right weapon for the job too. For animals the size of a rabbit, use the varmint rifle. For larger animals like deer, use a bow. There’s a guide for the weapons to use in your compend
Getting into street fights in Red Dead Redemption 2 horses Dead Redemption 2 is nigh-on inevitable. Sometimes, those fights turn into all-out brawls. And, as PenGwinAssaSsin learned the hard way, occasionally the game has you destined to lose . While in a fistfight with a couple of NPCs on the road, Arthur turned to the side to be met with about a dozen more NPCs, all with their pistols out, and all firing at the same time. A rehearsed ambush? Or some sort of hive mind? Either way, it was pretty effect
Card games like Poker and Blackjack have obviously been a staple many times over in past open world games–including Rockstar’s own Grand Theft Auto games– and yet Red Dead ‘s approach not only felt most appropriate to its setting and Western theme, but it incorporated so many more wrinkles to the typical game of cards than we might expect. Aside from the standard rules of Poker of trying to come out with the best hand (and the highest pot) at the end of the game, players also could look for tells among the other opponents on the table and see if they could come out ahead and gain an advantage. Even better was the fact that if you or another player were caught cheating in a game, the result would end up in a bloody gunfight for playing dirty.
After a gunfight, there’s always a lot of carnage. One part of this carnage are the bodies of your fallen foes. It may not be the best manners, but always loot them before you go on your merry way. You can often find useful items or valuables on them, that you can then sell at a fence. Just make sure to be quick: the law often make their way towards scenes of crimes, and you don’t want to get caught red-han
