Just finished all the missions

Monumental game, top 10 game of all time, more of art than a standard video game. With that being said the ending of chapter 6 left a bad taste in my mouth pause. You spend so many hours with Arthur your invested in the story and just like that he dies and you move on right away to Marston and his story. It makes sense to do in order to tie in both games but It took away from the experience to me. I stopped playing for a month because I lost interest. Worst part is Arthur is only mentioned once in the epilouge when John is talking to Charles.

I'm checking out the online but i doesn't seem like something I'll get into so I will hang this up and continue going through my backlog. I will definitely revisit and finish hunting and exploring.

I always said this game is probably the closest you'll get to seeing a real close imitation of life in regards to grief. It's hard not to choke up getting towards the end of chapter 6, but ultimately that's life.

John & his fam are forced to move on quickly (they & everyone else are outlaws being hunted)...no real time to stop and reminisce. But I too, took some time before starting the epilogue but when I did restart, you realize it's some damn good fan service by R* (prolly the last we'll ever get from them).

So I, a Level 20 bounty hunter, can now become a level 30 hunter...for 15 bars. For a bounty hunter license. Which I already bought for 15 bars ages ago.

Oh...you thought those extra levels came WITH that 40-bar outlaw pass??? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Silly breh! This is Rockstar, folks!

Rockstar has pretty much given up on doing ANYTHING with RDO online that doesn't involve Gold Bars (Digital Currency). They've nerfed the earning potential you get from doing daily missions that keep your Gold bar earning capacity up to the point you don't need or would consider buying....Gold Bars.

That new bullshyt they just did with the Bounty Hunter role is going to be a future aspect coming out when they suddenly start introducing "New Roles" that are going to make you pay more Gold than you'd get in the payout for maxing out said role, so you'll always be in debt. Their silence in not addressing fan queries and quibbles when it come to the lack of roles and overall content is evident that they never gave too much of a shyt about the Online aspect of RDO since GTO is their bread and butter, but now they are in the end stages of this experience and they're going for the Gusto.

Make Gold less scarce to earn.
Make what new content they release require more gold than it will repay you.
Pump the marketplace with Gold Bar sales every time a sale comes up.
Rinse/Repeat.

Yeah Arthur was certainly meant to be playable in NA at some point. My theory is that in Chapter 5 the gang were originally meant to go to New Austin after escaping the island as it would have made a lot more sense for them to sail back there than to go straight back to Lemoyne where they're all still wanted. Theres also clips in the trailer with him in New Austin and having shoot outs with the Del Lobo's.

If you look at Chapter 5 compared to the other chapters its notably shorter - I think Rockstar scrapped the New Austin part as they thought it would make the story too long. Theres also the thing of them having legendary animals and fish in NA, doesn't make sense to have them there just so John can finish them off 8 years later.

Lastly the entire New Austin part of the map is still in 1899 - so yeah Arthur was 100% meant to have a playable section of the game down there - its a shame they scrapped it because it would have been a real treat getting to explore places from RDR1 as Arthur, such a missed opportunity.


Meh, game is already long as hell. The majority of people that bought it haven’t even gotten halfway in it. Imo a lot of stuff could have been cut for it instead, or just cut altogether.

Never noticed how much this game is cac central :ohhh:

“The good ol’ days” :francis:

To be fair, most of the POC are in Rhodes and St. Denis - black, Latino, Asian, etc. Also, Arthur and Dutch HATE racists. We can blow up the Klan, and the mission where you kill the slavetrader is the only one where you can kill in cold blood and receive *positive* honor.

The gang also has Lenny, Charles (1/2 black and 1/2 native) and Tilly, along w/Javier and the entire Wapiti subplot, which is heartbreaking. Finally, depending on how you play the game, Arthur's conscience is the black nun in St. Denis.

I just realized Rockstar took a shot at Take Two's CEO in this game.

Leopold Strauss is the loan shark guy in the gang, and probably the most money hungry guy in the game besides Dutch.

Take-Two's CEO is Strauss Zelnick, who has made it clear he wants "recurring consumer spending" in all future games.
