At no point in the game is it ever made clear that Sadie Adler is associated with the Van Der Linde gang. This is crazy considering the other member she spends a ton of time with, Charles, is often written about in the news as a member of the infamous gr
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
Plenty of games have incredible graphics. Open-world games especially can be some of the most engrossing to move through and study the surroundings. But no other game that I know of has a Cinematic Camera. And they wouldn't need them, necessarily. But Red Dead Redemption 2 wants you to forget that it's a game. Which is possible. Because the environment is drop-dead gorgeous. When you play an open-world game, you usually want to explore because there is a host of tasks left undone that you want to finish. But Red Dead Redemption 2 asks you to seek out the undiscovered, with a slack jaw at the beauty around
He's an undeniably bad person at the start of RDR2 , who eventually does what he can to make things right upon learning of his fatal diagnosis. Maybe he could never fully redeem himself, but his sacrifice gave John Marston a second cha
This one is particularly troublesome, or hilarious, in the online portion of the game. The mission is done and the players start making their way back to the mission giver or a drop-off point. They are quietly strolling along when suddenly a player manages to get themselves knocked off the side of a cliff or flung off their equine. Maybe they themselves didn't bite the bullet, but the prisoner or bounty they were holding probably did. Some of these targets are fragile as glass once they are sitting atop the back of a horse with their hands t
When you have to travel in an open-world game, speed is essential. Style, though, is something oft-overlooked. With that in mind, let's pay homage to the humble horse. The beasts are faster than humans. Horses look much cooler when they gallop. A man riding a horse looks suave. A man that isn't riding a horse is just, horseless. And let's not forget that you can ride them while using the Cinematic Camera. Because nothing says traveling in style like riding a horse while admiring the panoramic views. Horses are the b
Arthur can really get some impressive hang time if he's going fast enough. It also happens on some relatively small bumps. The less feasible, the better. The outlaw has been through far worse however, and simply dusts himself off from the traumatic head injury and goes on his merry
Rockstar seems to relish injecting strange experiences into their games. Things that don't fit. They scattered amusing detours in GTA V that have players chasing down leads for wacky stories. And they've done the same in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Not everything has to fit perfectly into the narrative of an open-world. Humanity has weird conspiracies, and the world is full of strange, bewildering things. Red Dead Redemption 2 reflects those oddities. And it makes exploring all the more rewarding when you stumble across something that doesn't make any se
His only other role of note was in the TV series titled Angels In America where he played one of the characters father. Pinhasik did an excellent job of bringing the Austrian loan shark to life and was able to toe the line between a heartless crook and loyal gang mem
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
Holding one's family hostage to make them do your dirty work is morally corrupt, and deserving of some good old fashion Wild West justice. Coincidentally, the two's first and last meeting were both on a riverside where one party was fish
Like Grand Theft Auto Online , Red Dead Dead Redemption 2 's multiplayer component allows players to create their very own outlaw. They can make the character male or female, tall or short, thin or thick. Players who make a plus-sized character will find that the clothes and Gamehubfans.Com physics weren't designed to accommodate their figure. Larger characters will find their jackets and loose accessories continually clipping through things, leading to continued laughs or annoyance when trotting through the open world. For a game that prides itself on realism, this sure was interesting oversi
