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

Things weren’t as bad as I thought they would be. Sure, I got a bounty on my head, but I was able to pay it off lickety-split. The honor system works a little strangely in Red Dead Redemption 2 . You could perform the worst of human atrocities on a poor little town, but if you throw a little money their way, everyone will forget about

Hosea is Dutch’s better half. He is the brains behind the brawns, but he never gets any of the credit. Not that Hosea cares, mind you, but that doesn’t change the fact that Dutch’s Gang mostly due to Hosea’s leadership abilities. Once he’s gone after Chapter 4, it’s no wonder everything falls ap

This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It’s really simple, they just don’t like

This particular gripe only works if you’ve been playing Arthur Morgan as an honorable criminal. For the most part, townsfolk will recognize your good deeds as Morgan if you’ve been chivalrous around t

Any game where I get to ride an animal automatically earns itself a boost in my esteem. If I’m playing a game set in the West, you can bet your buckles I expect to ride a horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 gives me plenty of opportunities to do just t

No, sorry Sephiroth is not in the game, but perhaps he is the one that summoned this anomaly. If you go north of the V in Roanoke Valley, and slightly to the west, you’ll see a small square. This is a cabin. Make a trip up there to find it has been pierced by a meteor, smoking everyone inside to, well, really gross looking corpses. Bad for them, but good for you as you can sell the leftover chunk for a good bit of c

Given that it’s been eight years since we last rode out West with the Red Dead series, I’m already enticed by what we’ve seen from Red Dead Redemption 2 and what its massive Western open world will have in store. Though we’ve only had a few trailers over the past year or so, there’s already a tantalizing amount of variety that Rockstar has shown in its world that I can’t wait to see more of in the final game, such as hunting, herding, and hopefully much more beyond that. And yet for all that I can expect Red Dead Redemption 2 will deliver a massive open world full of beauty, action, and spectacle, I can’t help but hope that the minigames of Red Dead Redemption will not only make a return, but be expanded upon to really make its sequel’s world that much richer and more detailed.

There are many people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Van der Linde gang has some new faces to see and new stories to learn. It’s a bit of a shame that in all of these meet-and-greets, we lose the opportunity to delve into the personalities of characters we knew from the original Red Dead Redempt

Not every horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the same. Rockstar has put an incredible amount of work into establishing variance in just about every aspect of the game, and they did not hold back when designing the nineteen different breeds of horses. Each horse has their own set of coats possible, and there are quite a few different “tiers” of horses available. There doesn’t seem to be any horse breed that’s necessarily best, but there are some that excel at certain specific things. Some horses have different temperaments as well, though I’m not entirely sure that’s linked to the br

Let’s actually dig a bit deeper into this continuity error. In the first gang, John’s biggest complaint about the gang was that they were no a family. Every piece of affection was superficial. The end of the second game tries to imply this was indeed the case all along by having most characters abandon Dutch, bu

I’m used to video games allowing me, or rather my character, a greater level of physical prowess than I actually possess. Red Dead Redemption 2 , however, does a good job of making me feel like an uncoordinated loser ag

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 Achievements 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
