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, 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

It was finding all of the Riddler trophies in Batman: Arkham Knight . For Breath of the Wild , it was completing all the shrines before facing Ganon. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , my favorite part of the game were its fascinating side quests, especially the boxing matches in each region: that all culminated in fighting Skellige’s champion, a straight up bear. All of these goals bubble up and become the most memorable parts of these grandiose games to me.
The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is an expensive one indeed. Not only are there lots of things to buy (or buy off)— stuff like clothes, weapons, and bounties— but income is virtually non-existent. You play as outlaw Arthur Morgan, who is a member of the infamous Van der Linde gang. The only thing is that the gang (by virtue of being a gang) doesn’t really have a reliable or steady source of income. On top of that, the country is moving on (both technologically and socially) and leaving the life of outlaws and cowboys in the literal dust. The gang is forced to loan money to beggars at exorbitant interest rates, rob trains and banks, and do menial odd jobs just to get by. As such, money is tight with a capita
Watching a grieving widow sobbing uncontrollably over the corpse of her husband can leave you breathless. You can get into a flame war with just about anybody by saying the wrong thing at the right time, and some of the reactions are uncanny. Or what about people who played the whole game and never once experienced the unrelenting terror of an attempted murder at the hands of the “night folk”? That was one of the best “hidden” aspects of this game, and people who didn’t venture into Roanoke at night missed some truly scary mome
But it doesn’t have to be. Throughout the game there are many interesting side quests you can partake in, many of which don’t take too long and pay quite handsomely. But there are also those quests that don’t pay at all, or pay very little in return for the necessary amount of work. Sure, they can fun through a gameplay or story perspective, but they are next to useless if your goal is acquiring mo
Sphincter sirens are a normal part of everyday life, so when they are included in a video game, they make the world feel ten times more real. Who would have thought that passing gas could be used so precisely and elegan
However, Red Dead Redemption 2 is about so much more than its story. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I feel like the story of the game is overshadowed by how much detail was put into making it. There are so many nuances to the game, Easter eggs to find, activities you can engage in, and mind-boggling features to discover that the narrative’s excellence takes second place to the game’s craftsmanship as a whole. Don’t believe me? Well, if you don’t have the time or inclination (as of yet) to play Red Dead Redemption 2 fishing guide Dead Redemption 2, you should take a gander at this list here. But seriously, consider checking out the game on your own if you haven’t already since it is really fantastic. Read on if you want to become astounded by the hidden details of Red Dead Redemption 2 that you may not have noti
If you escape to a certain distance and use your binoculars to observe where you left a couple of casualties after a shoot-out, you will see some lawmen approaching the area. These lawmen will then pick up the remains and cart them back to town on their hor
We hate to encourage gambling, but it really is a hassle-free way to earn some quick cash. Blackjack and poker are not only fun, but they’re also quite easy to learn. And while many locations don’t exactly pay out the big bucks, you can go to Saint Denis and buy into a poker game for $5. If you’re particularly adept at the game (and if you can best the AI,) then you can walk away with some decent money. Sure, it won’t be enough to retire on, but it’s an easy, fun, and relatively risk-free way to earn some quick cash. Provided you’re a good poker player, of cou
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
