Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Agreed. I thought that summed up the

Spoiler

change he went through and became a former outlaw and a genuine kind man. It was a bit dusty here when the horse died.

Also, end of story.

Spoiler

we didn’t kill Dutch? Seriously?

What different endings are there? Spoiler tag responses.

Spoiler

I killed Micah and John found the money and left. For Arthur, I left the money and helped John.

Horse related.

Spoiler

what made the horse dying even worse was that I had that horse the whole play through. Never lost her. And to have her die at the end and Arthur to stop and say thank you. Man.....

End of game Arthur related.

Spoiler

Still pissed that I can’t free roam with Arthur. I enjoyed his character. Wanted to roam the Wild West with him. Wish there was a way to take it back to the mission before it all ended and just ride with him.

Spoiler

1. Red Dead Redemption 1 crushed any chance of killing Dutch right off the bat, since this is a prequel and he serves as a primary antagonist in 1911 (aka the timeline for the first game). I imagined that might be a tough pill to swallow for folks who hadn't played through the first one yet.

2. From my understanding, there are four different endings but I'm not familiar with the details of all of them. I think they might break down into:

a. High honor, don't take the money

b. High honor, take the money

c. Low honor, don't take the money

d. Low honor, take the money

I got the high honor, don't take the money ending, which I think sounds like the same as yours (dying on the mountain looking toward the sunrise). I believe taking the money results in getting stabbed in the back by Micah but also possibly taking one of his eyes on the way out.

I'm not sure if there's any other options for the John Marston epilogue ending.

3. The horse death was a real bummer and perfectly ties a bow on what Rockstar was attempting to accomplish this time around regarding improving our connections to our horses. They felt kind of disposable in RDR 1. I was sad to see Sprinkles go.

4. For Arthur free roam, the consensus seems to be that playing through to around the latter portion of Chapter 3 or the early portion of Chapter 4 then stopping there should probably put you in a spot where you can free roam with most things accessible until your heart's content.

I'll probably play back through and do that, but as a humongous fan of Red Dead Redemption 1, I also love playing as an updated, more highly detailed, and bearded John Marston at the end of this one.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

So I saw a Virginia opossum lying on the ground, and when I approached it, the game prompted for me to pick up or skin it. Once I held Square to initiate a pickup, it shot right up, hissed and scurried away.

Turns out it was playing possum.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Lol, I love when they do that. my first encounter with a possum went the same way. Now sometimes I approach them just to watch them roll over and play dead and just sit there seeing how long they can keep it up. It's almost cartoon-like the way they roll over.

I went around exploring New Austin/Blackwater/Tall Trees and had more fun around those areas than I did the rest of the map outside of Saint Denis. Wish they would’ve included some of the main story over there.

I was sort of surprised that area wasn't used more. I figured the Epilogue would run me all the way out west at some point, or at least out to Gaptooth Ridge.

Then again, maybe that was the game's way of keeping the area relatively foreign to John (via storyline, anyway) so that when he arrives in 1911 (RDR 1), he still has a sense of discovery.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I know that it is a stretch, but I think the theory holds a little water.

With the lack of content on the old part of the map, how cool would it be to get a "re-master" of the first Red Dead as Paid DLC or expansion?

It would be amazing if after the Epilogues finished and free roam opened that on a random trip to Saint Denis John was picked up by the Pinkertons, they get on the boat to Black Water and then the first game started with him getting on the Train to New Austin.

Like I said I know it a stretch and unlikely but still a neat idea I have been mulling over.

I was just talking to Shiz about this today. The story does a poor job of using the map, in general. For as big as the map is, 90% of the story is in or around the same 3 cities.

Same. I'm not expecting it to be earlier than summer 2019. But the thought if this masterpiece + mods and whatnot... very exciting to say the least.

My assumption is that we'll get a major DLC that will heavily feature the original map.

I can only imagine this game with ray tracing. Hell I can't wait to play in the snow areas on PC. IMO consoles still don't do snow and other weather effects as good as a high end PC. Heck even the grass on consoles don't look as good as the grass on a PC. I can also imagine on PC we will get some fog in some of the areas as well.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I just got to Chapter 6 last night. Other than one major event Chapter 5 was extremely predictable and a drag. It took me like a month to get through it.

Now that I have and I'm into Chapter 6 the story seems to be picking up and becoming a little more entertaining. Something that has helped me is on missions I just go to Cinematic mode and listen to the dialogue opposed to sit and tap x about 1500 times between destinations. The lack of "cruise control" for my horse is annoying.

I finally decided to switch it up and spend good money on a horse I named "Roach." I put ole faithful up like a vintage/antique car that I'm afraid to wreck. I'll just take her out for a spin from time to time when the heat dies down.

I still don't care too much for all the side stuff. I have a pond in my front yard and I don't fish in it... absolutely no urge to row out in the middle of a video game lake and do it. Same for hunting.. I dodge deer in my car every single day and my dog constantly chases them around the yard.

I finally purchased a few repeating pistols with actual magazines (forgot what they are called) and it's nice to know how to pronounce Saint Denis now. I wish the combat was more fun. I catch myself just dead eyeing my way through every large engagement and there's not much of a challenge to it. If I don't do that then the clunky controls usually lead to a struggle.
