What is so crazy about this is that it’s not just your own horse that will burst into flames. If an NPC attempts to ride a horse through this spot, their horse will light up as well. I dearly loved my horse too much to ride through the area myself. But I did hang around for fifteen minutes waiting for an unsuspecting bystan

Okay, so you’ve bonded with your horse. What exactly does that get you? Well, it turns out there are quite a few different benefits to having a horse in your corner. There are some gradual bonuses; the more you’ve bonded with your horse, the further your horse will be willing to gallop on its own when it hears you whistle. It’s certainly not going to run across the map when you call, but the range definitely does improve. And, the more you bond with your horse, the less likely it is to get stolen. Apparently those talks about “Stranger Danger” paid off. Your horse will also be willing to wade into deeper waters with you, and generally be fine with going into sketchier terr

It’s not just the atmosphere that is so attractive. The gameplay of Red Dead Redemption 2 is dynamic and engaging. However, before my nose is properly browned from singing this game’s praises so much, there are certain factors of the game that are just ridiculous. Don’t misunderstand me; I adore this game. Though I have to admit, there are moments that just make no sense. Whether it’s the riding mechanics, the meticulous attention to realism, or the insane character decisions, Red Dead Redemption 2 is not exempt from the foibles of most video gam

But of course, the developers of this game are the developers who worked on the Grand Theft Auto series. A lot of what you can do in Red Dead Redemption 2 is downright ridiculous. Read on if you want to hear about some of the gosh-darned silliest things you can do in one of the best games of the y

This is the big category and the line-up is strong this year. God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 seem like the most obvious choices, but Marvel’s Spider-Man might also swoop in for a surprise vict

Okay, maybe not, but your horse is going to get hungry. And just like Arthur, the hungrier your horse gets, the lower its cores are going to stoop. You can feed your horse a lot of different things that Arthur could eat himself, but not quite everything. Some of the best and most easily obtainable stuff to give your horse seems to be carrots and apples. They rejuvenate your horse much more than they rejuvenate Arthur, and what way better is there to gain a new companion than sharing a snack with t

There are few companions that are going to accompany you for the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2, but one that will be at your side for the majority of the journey is your horse. However, like any relationship worth having, you’re going to need to put in some effort. Your horse isn’t just going to be your buddy from the get-go; you are going to have to earn its trust. Having your horse on your good side will make Arthur Morgan’s journey much easier, tho

You get hold of a horse brush pretty early on in the game, and it’s a little bit dual-purpose. Throughout your travels, your horse is going to get pretty dirty (just like you). The dirtier your horse, the quicker the horse’s cores are going to drain. Brushing your horse cleans it, as does running it through a body of water. The brush also gains you some kudos from your horse, who deeply appreciates being brus

This ends up becoming one of the flaws in Red Dead Redemption 2. Shoot-outs start to happen whether you want them to or not. Stealthing becomes a concept of the past. Towards the end of the game, it feels as if your gun is glued to your h

Say you’re robbing a stagecoach or a train, one thing you really don’t want to happen is for you to lose your horse. Trying to make a quick getaway on foot is nigh-on impossible, and can be extraordinarily fatal if you’re being pursued by enough lawmen to arrest a whole county. There’s an easy solution: just hold up on the D-pad, and your horse will follow you along as you rob and slaughter your way about. Then, when you’ve got your cash, get off, jump on your horse, and hightail it into the sun

While you can unlock fast travel fairly early on by upgrading your tent, the game does have a pseudo-fast travel system built in. If you set a custom waypoint on your map, switch to cinematic view, and then set your horse running by holding down X/A, the horse will make its way to the waypoint. You don’t need to even hold the button down. You can go and make a cup of tea/coffee if you like, and when you come back, your horse should be at the destinat

There’s no denying that Red Dead Redemption 2 is without a doubt the game that I am most looking forward to this year (like many others). While I’ve been pondering its story and gazed at what we’ve seen from its breathtaking open-world, one of my secret wishes is that the game will nail the smaller details that I came to admire from Red Dead Redemption 2 camp Upgrades Dead Redemption , and along with that I am hoping for the return of its signature Western minigames in the upcoming sequel.
