Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle. If entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of this happening then it must be fairly common among criminals and outl

Most games maintain a steady stream of information that floods the screen. Little markers delineating new destinations. A compass to coordinate movement with your position on the map. Reminders for the quest that you're undertaking. Indicators of health, stamina, or any other status that might be necessary. Everything is designed to assist the player and ensure that you're not lacking context. Red Dead Redemption 2 throws that out the window. You're going to die. You're going to get lost. That's part of being in the Wild West. Get used to it. And that perilous freedom means so much in an open-world g

The most infamous quote in Red Dead Redemption 2 is Dutch’s constant reassurance of "I have a plan." Okay Dutch, please tell us what your plan is. We ask because almost every other plan and job we’ve done has just made things worse. Instead of just accepting that maybe his plans need more thinking, he just sits there and complains that nothing is working. He’s just so shocked that killing a high-profile industrialist actually has consequences. He’s also pretty upset when he realizes that robbing a bank in a large town would somehow go wr

Hosea is quite funny and happens to be one of the livelier members of the Van Der Linde gang despite being the elder of the group. At a young age, Hosea was a stage actor who had dreams of becoming a famous comed

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. Not many are doubting this. Still, like every game, it is not perfect. Even the most legendary games out there can be easily made fun of. If you can't make fun of it, are you really a true

Red Dead Redemption 2 's original score works equally as a thematic landscape of the old west as well as it does an emotional vessel for the game's narrative. The opening track, By 1899, The Age Of Outlaws And Gunslingers Was At An End , eerily sets the tone for the story of Dutch Van der Linde and his gang, attempting to remain outside the law in a country that no longer tolerates the concept. Afterwards, we're greeted with the slow whistling introduction of Outlaws From The West , before the game early Access's iconic western theme busts in, truly establishing the story's vibe. The song, which would play perfectly with any western film from the 60s or 70s, uses its drawn-out guitar riffs and flute to set the landscape for a world of both incredible natural beauty and harrowing danger. We're instantly introduced to the feeling of hope that anything can be accomplished, and the dread that anything can be taken away, a concept that defines Red Dead Redemption

He was particularly fond of the mystery series by Aldous Filson. One of these books can be found by Arthur at the camp near Hosea's tent. If the player collects this book it can spark an optional mission to gather another one of the titles in the series for Ho

John Marston may have been the protagonist of the first title, but from a writing perspective, Arthur Morgan's journey blows his out of the water. The second game does a lot for John though in terms of character depth and charisma.

Javier Escuella experiences a big change during the events of the second game despite starting as a likable and trustworthy member of the Van Der Linde gang. He looks up to Dutch quite a bit, just like his closest friend on the gang, Bill Williamson.

Speaking of putting money in, how about when Arthur puts so much in and gets no appreciation? You could have recently put a couple thousand into the camp. Then once you decide to skip a day and enjoy the rest for yourself, you’ll criticized by Susan Grimshaw because she hasn’t seen you put money in for a while. To make matters worse, I’m pretty sure Arthur is donating the most out of anybody. If anything, there should have been a mechanic where we could see who hasn’t put money, then we can call them out oursel

Look, those of us who have worked customer service understand what its like dealing with crappy people. That being said, we tend to always keep our cool and never say what we’re actually thinking. That’s not the case with a couple of shop clerks in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Here I am minding my own business, shopping around for my newest gun or suit. Then I keep getting pestered by the clerk at the front telling me to hurry up and buy something. This happens on numerous occasions, and shame on the shop owners who hired these super rude employ

Dutch Van Der Linde was, of course, the leader and founder of the Van Der Linde gang. In it's earlier years the gang provided an outlet and way of life for kids and young adults who didn't have anywhere to turn to. Dutch was always charismatic and could light up a crowd, but something in him changed.

This one would be impressive if it wasn't done by accident. Not only can players shoot the hats off enemies, exposing their foreheads to the sun or revealing a bald spot, but enemies can return the favor and shoot Arthur's hat to the wind. You can do a lot of things to people, but tampering with their headwear is a whole other level of insult. Fortunately, Arthur has magic hat regenerating powers, but the NPCs he shoots down don't have the same abil
