Hunting is another mechanic that has gotten a pretty severe overhaul compared to the original Red Dead Redemption . You've probably noticed the "study" option available when aiming at an animal, but it isn't immediately obvious what it does. But after studying it, select "show info", and you'll see what quality of pelt you're going to get from the animal in question. Depending on whether or not you're after the pelt or the meat, this might not matter to you, but if you are looking to sell the pelt, the quality makes a hefty difference in pr
Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899; roughly twelve years before the original Red Dead Redemption. Players take on the role of outlaw gang member, Arthur Morgan, who is the right-hand man for the gang’s leader, Dutch van der Linde. The gang is on the run through the snowy mountains following a ferry heist in the town of Blackwater that went terribly wrong. Once the group finds a place to wait out the storm, they have to work together to gather resources - such as food - and survive the elements. Arthur, being one of the more experienced members, is tasked with rescuing John Marston who is near death on a nearby mountain p
But what I don't dig, however, is how horribly unlucky he seems to be. This musician was born with a lot of problems, but seems to be dealing with them on his terms. There are actually a fair amount of what society would consider "social outcasts" spread throughout the game wo
Red Dead Redemption II is an awesome game. One I've been pouring over for more than a week now. I'm discovering new things every day as well as the larger community of fans out there. Compared to most open world games, discovery is actually a tricky thing because travel is actually really taxing. Before I get to share some unique mechanics, treasure, and quests, let me complain a bit further about the fast travel system. A system I have posted my frustration about twice now with my two earlier articles. If you missed my piece on things that don't make sense in the game, or my article on things I wish I knew before starting, well then please, take a gander at those. Anyway in order to properly make my point clear I thought it best talk about last year's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wi
This would also make for a really creepy quest in a paranormal DLC. So if you head west of Van Horn Trading Post, you will find a lone cabin in the woods. In it, you'll find a bunch of unnerving experiments. The creepiest of which is, well, I don't know how else to put it. Whoever lived in this house made a ManBearPig. Yep, this is a realistic version of the joke from South Park . That's what a lot of people believe online any
Of course how Rockstar got all this detail has been the topic of plenty of controversies. But, it's not just about the detail, but also the size. The finished map for RDR2 encompasses three different states. And when you spread that much detail over that large of a landmass, there's plenty for players to miss. You can't blame me for not wanting to explore every hill and forest I come across, can you? Well luckily, the internet exists. And there are entire channels and communities dedicated to finding every last secret, easter egg, and homage in any one game. There have been literally hundreds of secrets found within Rockstars newest magnum opus. And I think it's safe to say, there are probably a lot more that haven't been discovered yet. But, while I'm here, I'd like to do my part. So this is all about Red Dead Redemption 2 : 30 Hidden Things Casual Fans Still Haven’t F
That's another huge open world game where discovery is just as fun as the main tasks. The reason why I was so addicted to it was, one, it's a great world to explore. Two, there were plenty of ways to fast travel and get around thus incentivizing me to keep exploring. Red Dead Redemption 2 Updates Dead Redemption II doesn't do that. It has travel hubs, which are far off from the places you want to see. Actually getting to these areas from towns isn't the problem. It's getting back in one piece. Maybe I'm just too irritable. No matter, point is, thank goodness for everyone else out there. Let's get to
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is a western tale as old as time, filled with gunslinging-action, horseback exploration, greed, loyalty, and the overall treachery of the old west. Fans of the genre will not want to miss this game; a clear, heavy favorite for 2018’s Game of the Y
Surprise, surprise, there are UFOs in this game. It's pretty easy to find once you know where to go. If you travel northeast of the second N in New Hanover, you’ll see a lake. Once you're there you'll find skeletons inside a cabin in a scene straight from Fallout 4. There's a cryptic letter that talks about other beings coming back for them at 2 A.M. If you go back inside at that time, you'll see a ship fly above. Is this a clue for the DLC? Will we see cowboys and aliens duke it out? I hope
Rockstar isn't shy about including supernatural creatures in their games. Past works have included aliens, zombies, Bigfoot, and now even vampires. This secret is a bit later in the game once you've unlocked the Saint-Denis locat
