Red Dead Redemption 2


I know this game is old now. But I just found it last August. And WOOOOOAH!!!!!! It's mind blowing. Everything from the story, the characters, the scenery, challenges and almost everything else. I'm on about my 7th playthrough, and I'm still finding new content and new ways of doing things.
One of the best parts of this game is having the ability to do things different, each time. And come up with a different outcome. I know there's certain things the game won't let you deviate from. But even then, there's more than one way of going about it. Especially when you consider the low & high honor endings.

I've found out how to get the Legends outfit in ch. 2. To avoid Thomas Downes when the letter pops up on his table. How to get outside the map and explore Mexico and Guarma. On version 1.0, my Arthur can explore New Austin during the day. I can set up camp down there and sleep. I can collect everything down there, including the herbs and dinosaur bones. Also the Otis Miller revolver. And make all the drawings in the journal. (as Arthurs drawing are a lot better than Johns). And as long as I don't turn off the console, I can go in and out of New Austin as many times as I want. Which is helpful when taking legendary animals to the trapper and the fish to the post office.

Arthur retiring at Hanging Dog ranch, without the O'driscolls ever respawning again. (after you and Sadie taken them all out)


Finding new things and new ways of going about this HUGE game, seems to be never ending.

Here's me getting the Legendary bear while hunting with Hosea. And BTW, you can get Hosea's rolling block rifle if you go back to camp with him. (You just have to blow up his horse with dynomite. But the horse respawns when you meet him at Emerald Ranch)

I've got this one, but haven't played it much yet. I'd like to play it in VR, but the only mod for that wasn't so great. I should check again. It's been a few years.

Bro. I can only suggest that if it doesn't grab you and not let go at first, just be patient. My first playthrough was pretty good. But it was sort of like a video game. But by my 3rd, I was even more amazed.
At first, there's a lot of things that will take your attention away from the really amazing things this game as to offer.
During the first few chapters, you're learning the controller/keys, trying to check out the scenery, watching where you're going and learning how to navigate, trying to keep up with the dialog, the story, the characters and pay attention to the instruction prompts. So much that you miss 1000 other things.

But after you get the mechanics down, you will start paying closer attention to more important details. Things that really make this game not so much like a video game. But more like an experience.

Someone said today on a RDR1 FB page, "RDR2 isn't a game I play. It's a place I go."

Fact: The only ones who don't get intrenched in this game, are:
1. People who insists that their games go 100mph, constantly.
2. People who aren't attentive to details and problem solving.
3. People who don't take the time to plan.
4. Those who just want to play a game and not have to think about playing it.

In my first playthrough, the dynomite didn't explode. So this time, I checked my connections and they were fine. So I decided to check the dynomite. Sorry Bill.
(actually, I just don't like Bill)
