Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I gave the online version a go but could not get into it. It just couldn't get the immersion I felt with the story.

I am in the midst of my second playthrough of the game and I am loving it. Doing everything I possibly can with Arthur and in chapter 4. So I am doing all the challenges I can and have unlocked all of the satchel upgrades.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm enjoying the update. The biggie is that they fixed animal spawns so the trader role is viable again. It's also fun to have a lot of aggressive animal interactions (bears, cougars, wolves, etc.). I think I had maybe one wolf attack in every ten hours of online free roam, now it seems to happen once or twice every hour. I had a panther hunting me in Lagras while I was on the tail of a 2-star bounty. Not fun!

It looks like the only relevant addition for Story Mode is the weapons locker. Shame it took nearly two years for that to be added.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

RdR is one of, if not my GOAT.

RdR 2 has been a great experience for me. I've been taking my time doing a little bit of everything. The game looks great, even on my OG Xbox 1 and 1080p TV. I'm enjoying the story, regardless of any shortcomings or slow-downs. I haven't been disappointed nor have I been overly gushing in amazement.

The best thing about the game could be it's biggest downfall: depending who you are and what you want/expect out of a game, the massivness could be good or bad. It's wide open nature with so much to do can be overwhelming. Personally, I only hunt as long as I feel compelled to. I only fish until I am bored. I only meander about the world randomly until I don't want to anymore. And I only play mission's until I feel the need to change it up. Truth is I can only take short, 1-2 hour sessions before I need to put it down, but that's not a bad thing IMO.

I play a few times a month, on weekends in between dad-duty, and I get the enjoyment I expect out of the game. I don't have any idea when I'll complete the story, it could be months from now and I am perfectly fine with that. For me, if I tried to rush this game or play it everyday and complete every challenge etc, I would almost definitely get burnt out like some of you have said.

There are certainly two sides of the coin on this game (every game, really), and I understand the wide range of view points. Could be the greatest game ever, a boring chore or anything and everything in between.

This is exactly how I feel about this game. I did not play RDR1 and mostly play sports games, and got RDR2 at the start of the pandemic as something to play besides sports games. I really enjoy the game and play for 1-2 hours also, and find it can be addictive in these short bursts. Wish I would have found this game before having a baby so I could play it more.

This.

Also, don't buy things with gold bars that you can get with RDO$. It'll be hard to get lots of money at first, but you'll need those gold bars to purchase the roles (which is where I really started having fun with the online mode). And that's also when the RDO$ really starts rolling in.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Well I finally finished Chapter 6 of the game (currently on Epilogue Part II):

Spoiler

I knew Arthur was going to die, but man, when he finally did, it was just crushing. It was also crushing when my horse got killed right before that. I poured so many hours in to this game and got really attached to both Arthur and my horse. The first 6 chapters were amazing and the storyline was very well done. Everything about this game has blown me away.

Now I am in Part II of the Epilogue with Marston. I never played the original Red Dead, so I probably don't have the same feeling about Marston as some people who have played the original. Its tough getting used to playing with him. Maybe its his voice. I was used to Arthur's deep gruff voice, so itll take some getting used to with Marston.

Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed this game; more than I thought I would.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I stopped playing this on The One. Gonna do a restart when the Xbox Series X comes out.

Best game I've ever played by far. When I finished the story mode it was the first ever time I cried over a video game. 10/10

There are only so many games I've cried during a video game. The Last of Us and The Last Guardian are the only two games that come to mind immediately.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Its at the very top of my list as well and I would give about anything for a proper remaster of the 1st game.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Looks like Red Dead Online is going standalone. The Bounty Hunter role is also seeing more content added as well.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

That's good to hear about the bounty hunter role. I put this game down for a couple of months because the roles became stale. I really enjoyed RDO for a while but yeah, after my 200th resupply mission stealing the exact same wagon from the exact same location it was time for a break.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

i didn't enjoy this game very much, even though i finished it and i keep trying to go back to it every few months.

dutch made me insane. i think it's because i've dealt with people like that in real life and they just aggravate me, i can't stand that type of person.

if i was arthur i would have blown dutch's head off after the intro and been done with it haha. the entire game of putting up with his BS just felt like a chore.

i usually love the rockstar games so i've been awaiting something new but it seems like it will be years before we see another one.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Had not played since January (with a clean full re-installation of Windows in between) and thought my savings were gone. Was about to jump off a bridge

I love you Red Dead Redemption
