10 Unintentionally Hilarious Things About Red Dead Redemption 2

You would think that a video game as popular and impactful as Red Dead Redemption would have been localized all around the world, with the voice work being translated or at the very least subtitles being available. However, that wasn't the case for this game in South Korea, with Rockstar not providing any voice changes or subtitles for the game, instead, providing a manual with translations for those who were interested in play
This can be an issue in many games where you’re looking for something, but it only spawns at the most inconvenient times. When you need specific pelts and you take time out of Arthur’s day to go out hunting, you’re going to have a hard time waiting for them to spawn. It isn’t until you’re in the middle of an intense chase sequence that you see that animal on the side of the road. Now you’re out of luck since there’s no way the mission is going to let you skin an animal and bring it back to c
Considering he was a former slave it's likely that it was due to racism or pro-slavery ideals. This led Lenny down a dark path that had him killing those men for killing his dad. It was purely revenge and caused Lenny to go on the run before finding comfort inside the Van Der Linde g
Red Dead Redemption , which was released back in 2010, is an incredibly popular open-world game created by Rockstar met by an incredible response from both critics and gamers alike. While everyone still raves about the recent sequel, there's no doubt that the original still holds up and is a fun game to play. It has also won countless awards and helped change the industry fore
Red Dead Redemption 2’s Bounty System is actually very robust. At any time, bounty hunters could sneak up on you and try to get that nice pay-day. Except, the bounty amount almost never makes sense. You can pull an immense heist that has gained you thousands of dollars, but yet your bounty is only a couple hundred. I’m pretty sure the gang dropped that much money during the heist. It’s also funny that you can easily just pay your bounty for whatever horrendous crime you commit
Red Dead Redemption was one of those games that took an incredibly long time to make, mainly due to the detail and size of the map, but it took so long that it started to become a risk for Rockstar. The game took over half a decade to develop, which is an exceedingly long period of time, and Rockstar worried that it wasn't going to be worthwhile. But thankfully, the aftermath proved it certainly
Lenny may not have known what a superhero was, but it seems he was becoming the Western equivalent of the Black Panther. Lenny may have been a young newcomer to the Van Der Linde gang, but he knew how to stand
To its credit, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in a smoother state than most other open world games out there. Compared with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, it runs like butter. Glitches are still in there though, and happening upon one is always hilarious. One may spontaneously fly off their horse or fall through the geometry. As long as the bug doesn't corrupt a save file or hinder progress, they are always a good t
Ever since playing the original Red Dead Redemption , one of my favorite characters across all forms of media has been Dutch Van der Linde. Struggling with demons from the past, fighting to live as an outlaw on the run, believing in himself as much as his followers, Dutch is a complex and complicated individual trying to survive in a world that has drastically changed around him. Much of what he represents and struggles with across both stories ironically reflects exactly what is wrong with the sequel game. Having waited almost ten years for a new, more beautiful Rockstar iteration, I could not wait to dive into Red Dead Redemption
In Red Dead Redemption , the Elegant Suit is possibly the most iconic look in the entire Game patch notes, and it is something people will be very familiar with as it is needed in order for you to 100% complete the 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
Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to fight its own nature. Perhaps, more accurately, I'm constantly fighting my own nature as a gamer while playing it. Small mishaps always pulled me out of the game, like bumping into pedestrians in Saint Denis would automatically get me wanted, which obviously turned into bloody shootouts every time. The serious nature of the game and its story belied no actual seriousness when presenting topics of immense depth. Rockstar's attempt at making one of the most realistic games falls flat due to awkward button placement, cumbersome menus, annoyingly constant random events, and a slowly-paced st
