Hunting, both in the real world and its virtual counterpart, can be incredibly difficult if one does not know any of the tricks of the trade. Prey can so easily slip through even the most adept hunters’ fingers if they slip up, even for a single second. In order to guarantee that your prey will not escape you so easily, PlayStation players can lock onto the selected animal. Pressing the ‘square’ button will cause the animal to lift up its head, providing the player with the perfect opportunity to str
In RDR , John famously swam like a rock when he so much as put a toe into deep water. Not even his horses could keep him from sinking. In RDR2 , Rockstar not only has Arthur constantly make fun of John for it, but you will also lose the ability to swim when you play as John in the Epilogue. Talk about commitment to a charac
Although the main draw of the online component is the freedom of playing as your own character in the game’s overworld, there is a more organized set of multiplayer modes unified through the “series” moniker. In a “series” mode, you basically play through conventional competitive modes for mo
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s smash hit sequel to their beloved story about a former outlaw hunting down his old game. What’s more is that RDR2 is also a prequel to the original game, which allows for Rockstar to insert as many tributes and foreshadowing into the new story as they please. Well, my review here boy did they deliver! This time around, you play as Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang lieutenant who witnesses the twilight days of John’s infamous former gang and must make hard choices concerning just who and what he is loyal
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
The same’s true of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Money’s pretty tight for Arthur and his gang, especially early on. You might be itching to unlock fast travel as soon as possible, but it doesn’t come ch
These sequences help Arthur throughout the game and the animals both represent different things. If Arthur dreams of the deer he is on the path to redemption, while if he dreams of the coyote he is beyond redempt
Rockstar Games has never been afraid to put in otherworldly things into their games. You will see many examples of this throughout the list, including vampires! The man of the hour is located in Saint-Denis and you will need to complete a mission to find five pieces of graffiti that lead you to the vampire’s locat
Due to the infamous ferry robbery, no one from the Van der Linde gang is allowed to step foot in Blackwater. However, no one there should know about the women. It’s established that the ladies of the Van der Linde gang do not partake in the heists, and therefore, the law should not know of their identities. And even if they know their names, they wouldn’t know their fa
Before giving players time to mourn the ending of the main game, they are suddenly thrown back into the story and very suddenly into John’s shoes. We follow the Marston family 8-ish years after the events of the main story, trying to live a normal and prosperous life. During the events of the Epilogue, we get to see Beecher’s Hope go up piece by piece. This includes the infamous barn. After finishing the Epilogue story, many players felt that this could be Rockstar’s attempt to give John a playable afterl
In a dark reference to an event 16 years into the future, as Agent Ross is leaving with Agent Milton after a tense stand-off with Arthur, Ross makes a snide comment to a three-year-old Jack Marston. “Enjoy your fishing while you still can!” he snarks as he walks away. This ends of being an ironic statement when Jack avenges his father’s unfair end by ambushing Ross while he himself is enjoying post-retirement fish
By the time we first meet Dutch in the first game, he’s a shell of a man still fighting uselessly against the march of civilization. A single glance at him might still reveal a glimmer of a great man worthy of John’s loyalty, but many players found it difficult to understand how John could have followed such an obvious madman. RDR2 answers this by presenting a much more lucid Dutch at the beginning of the narrative, still filled with his trademark charm and wit. As the story continues and pressures mount, we witness Dutch slipping towards his inevitable heartbreaking fall into madn
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
