Fortunately, all was well. It was a phenomenal sales success, one of the best-received games of the year by critics and players alike. Why? Largely because it’s a vast, ambitious title that sets new standards for open-world gamep

After Beecher’s Hope is finished and John attends to some unfinished business, players can sometimes find Uncle taking a break in the exact same spot on the porch where he perishes in the first game. To add to the heartbreak, he even sits in the same posit

But then the divine intervention goes one step further and he just so happens to meet up with Dutch and the rest of the gang, who were conveniently chilling out nearby. This isn't really a plot hole, but it's still a highly suspicious plot contrivance that reeks of writer intervention rather than natural storytell

If you haven’t finished both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 , then put down this article and either go play them or find a Let’s Play video to watch, because today we’re going to be delving into major spoilers for both games. If you’re ready to dive in, come join us while we talk about 10 tributes RDR2 made to the original Red Dead Redempti

So first in our quest to find all the wacky lads in the old west is Margaret. He's found next to his crashed cart in Lemoyne. As it happens, his circus animals escaped and he needs us to find them. He lost 2 lions, a zebra, and a tiger. Well, sort of. Turns out they're all dressed up everyday animals like a Mule, Dog, and Cou

These epilogues and the rest of your time in the game end up being a taste of the life fans of the series have wished for from John's story. It’s a small taste of peace and happiness before the cycle begins anew from what we saw in the original Red Dead Redemption . Arthur’s journal being passed to John helps facilitate this all-too-brief period of happiness in his life.

This seemingly small element in the world is a perfect window into the character that Rockstar has made Arthur, and to experience the life of a younger John. For most of the core narrative, Arthur goes along with plans that scream "failure" from the get-go: he protests but usually ends up going with the flow anyway. On the surface, Arthur appears to have no real backbone or worldview to stick by, as Arthur can appear as a blindly loyal dog fetching whatever his masters toss. As you spend time as Arthur and, more importantly, read his journal, Arthur’s struggles become clear, real, and tangible. His once firm foundation of loyalty built upon rock ends up revealing itself to be built upon sand over the course of the story.

As for Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Dead Redemption II , it has been reading Arthur and John’s journal. Every time I boot up this four-state-sized map filled with details, missions, and content out the wazoo, the very first thing I do is hold left on the D-Pad and read.

This mission has some of the most unique characters in RDR2 . It's found around the Van Horn Trading Post where you'll stop a man named Bertram from choke-slamming a bartender. Turns out he's a sweetheart that works with a woman named Marjorie who's looking for her other employee, Magnif

When the main chapters of Red Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.

So our boy Arthur has to track the height-impaired man down, and apparently, he doesn't want to go back. He eludes us a couple of times with some amazingly colorful smoke bombs, but eventually, we get the better of

The original game was always a touch ambiguous about how John won his facial scars. Aside from a voice clip that happens when John attempts to fight wolves in the first game with a knife, players were left to speculate as to what animal did that to him. This is confirmed in RDR2 to have in fact come from a close encounter with a wolf pack. After Arthur and Javier track John in the Grizzlies, they come across a perished horse and tons of evidence of a fight, and then a wolfpack as they come off the mounta

You would think anyone who has ever played a PVP game online would know crouching ensures more safety, yet every time we play a PVP match, everyone is red but us. Suffice it to say, it makes ranking top in leaderboards far less difficult than it should be. Also, though it should be obvious to all by now, Red Dead Redemption Online 's shotgun is insane, and if you are playing with any other gun, you will probably lose, as it is a one-hit-kill for everyone online. Now saving up for the shotgun? Well, good luck with that, honestly. Only 600 hours of grinding required, no big d
