Red Dead Redemption 2 | PS4/XB1/PC | Out Now

Can the bison go extinct like in the first game?

I don't think so

The online does seem kinda lame. GTA Online was kinda shytty @ 1st as well.

Got a gold Turkoman I named Citrine. She looks majestic as hell. Anyway, just made it to Chapter 6 and while it knew it was coming, it still ain't any easier to watch.

Watching Arthur legit die slow is I had it spoiled for me so I knew he was going to fall deathly ill, but I'll be damn if it isn't rough to watch. I've legit come to like the guy as a character after the rocky opening. He's had exponential character growth. It's beautiful story telling and while I understand both are different games despite being made by the same company, I much prefer RDRs writing to GTAs. The latter is satire and that's fine too, but RDRs mature and often tragic tales surrounding the protagonist and side characters always manages to give me pause.

Lenny & Hosea..dead and gone. Just like that. Without any grand send off.


Molly? Dead and gone.

Just like that.


It mirrors life in a way. Death is almost always quick and unexpected. You're almost never prepared for it, whether its coming for you or those you love. These weren't "good" people by any stretch. Almost every character is dead or doomed because of the choices they made. Much like John, Arthur is a dead man walking because of a decision he made. So nah. They aren't good people, but that doesn't mean they aren't sympathetic. Those flaws are what make them feel so human. It's just really good writing.

This is exactly why I'm not that big of a GTA fan anymore. The last game was too much of a satire fest with pretty much every character intended to be funny and whacky to the point where I just found it corny. I'm hoping they draw some influence from RDR2 for the next GTA game because I'd hate to have another game where satire is constantly being forced in my face.

What if they did 3 characters again except one has a super serious story arc, one has a humorous story arc & one character you create and define their path

I think that’s the logical next step to take tbh. Then they’d just have to focus on a solid plot for 1/3rd of the game.

Cosign.

My issue was the fact that I couldn't really get into any of their characters. No one was really redeemable.

These are supposed to be anti-heroes.

I actually cared about Niko from GTAIV, people didn't like the game but Niko was just trying to find a better life when he got scammed by his cousin.

Arthur and Marston? They were redeemable as well.


CJ... the breh just wanted to get out of the hood.

 

[Brief Keef]

I was about to give up on this game. I just really wasn’t feeling it.

Chapter’s 3 and 4 changed all that shyt.

I’m so glad I stuck with it. There is so much going on in this game that is just amazing to play through.

First of all... any time a mission happens at night, I’m shytting bricks. The environment is just way too eerie and surreal. ESPECIALLY in New Orleans. fukking alligators and snapping turtles and tattooed rednecks bridge blockades and god knows what else might jump out the swamp and get me.

Matter fact... I’m uncomfortable riding around at night period. One time I set up a tent and some hillbillies snuck up on me, put a gun on me, then bounced after letting me know I was on their land.

Oh yeah.. and the KKK.

Any time fog rolls in and my horse starts spazzing I’m like... is a pack of wolves about to come eat my face???

Second... they stuffed SO many gameplay modes into this, and I’m only 50% done! I was bored early because it was all scenic trips and poor pelts and “this is a robbery”. Play long enough though and Arthur is on some Solid Snake/Uncharted/Sherlock Holmes/Prowler shyt. There’s a ton of nuance that you don’t see early.

I hope the Assassin’s Creed team is taking notes. This is how you craft a big open world and make every step feel fresh.

Damn-near can’t stop playing this shyt now.

u let them slide ?

 

[Woodrow]

u let them slide ?

Hell no. They walked off talking way too slick. I’m Arthur Morgan motherfukker! Pulled out my twin sawed off shotguns and gave them that work.

 

[Dushane Hill]

Just found this fukking gigantic ass dead snake hanging in a tree in Lemoyne. Think the Bayou/Lagrass/Swamp area is my favourite part of the map atm.

Part of the survivalist challenge requires you to catch some fish in the swamp, literally took a canoe and paddled all the way down the Kamassa River while the sun was setting, shyt was beautiful

//

Think I've played this game to death but I'm sure theres things out there I still haven't discovered. Master hunter and survivalist challenges >>>>>

Fingers crossed for a SP DLC.

Yeah hopefully the multiple character thing gets canned, it's a cool feature on paper but I just think it hinders character development.

I'm so impressed by this game world they've created I'm hoping the next GTA's setting is rural as well but in modern times. Obviously I want them to include cities but they should make the rural in between areas the main focus.

I'm watching Murder Mountain on Netflix with all those cacs living off the grid on that mountain growing weed and living with no laws, could be a dope angle for them to look at.

Brehs killing lawmen to free 'criminals' and getting the tip for robberies is just

Breh...

All I do now is hunt with two horses. I am currently STILL looking for the serial killer. I have all the map parts and still can’t find this nikka.

I refuse to be given the answer but I’m getting to a point where I’m breaking a bit

 

[AAKing23]

the story telling in this is


collecting money from a family in chapter 2........

Spoiler

and having that guy cough on you, is how you get TB and die later on

playing it back and going to the house to collect.. the son is like "maybe you'll kill me, or maybe something else will happen to you" and his wife cursing you... even arthur hates collecting and it would end up killing up... wow

Oh shyt, that is how he caught it
