Geology for Beginners is a stranger mission given to you by the maybe time-traveling Francis Sinclair, who tasks you with finding various rock carvings. Unlike the dreaded dinosaur bones which take forever, this is over in no time at all. After finding just one carving, you are paid $10 (and a bottle of bourbon). And after five, you are given a rock statue which can be sold to a fence for $50. All told, you are given a cool $60 after finding just five rock carvings, which shouldn’t take very long (provided you use a guide.) Plus you get to see all the trippy engravings, so it’s a win-

We hate to encourage gambling, but it really is a hassle-free way to earn some quick cash. Blackjack and poker are not only fun, but they’re also quite easy to learn. And while many locations don’t exactly pay out the big bucks, you can go to Saint Denis and buy into a poker game for $5. If you’re particularly adept at the game (and if you can best the AI,) then you can walk away with some decent money. Sure, it won’t be enough to retire on, but it’s an easy, fun, and relatively risk-free way to earn some quick cash. Provided you’re a good poker player, of cou

Sphincter sirens are a normal part of everyday life, so when they are included in a video game, they make the world feel ten times more real. Who would have thought that passing gas could be used so precisely and elegan

There are sixteen legendary animals to be found throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Dead Redemption 2 , and luckily, none of them are very hard to find or eliminate. All it takes is acquiring the legendary animal map, riding to the location, and quickly disposing of the animal. It takes maybe ten minutes, and the animals don’t put up much of a challenge. You can then sell their skins (and some of their bodies) to the trapper who pays quite handsomely for the rare items. If that wasn’t all, you can also use their parts to craft trinkets and special garments and outfits. Going after the legendary animals is a no-brai

Remember the good old days? When the only way to figure out how to maneuver one’s way through a game was through good old fashioned trial and error? When you had to play a game for literal hours without advancing in the plot because you got stuck on some silly level and then when you asked your friends about said difficult part the next school day, you found out that it was actually incredibly e

As much as people want to avoid using the in-game map as much as possible, sometimes it truly does come in handy. Sometimes I like to see if my natural sense of direction works by testing to see if I can get my character to where I need to go without tracking my movements on the in-game

RDR2 being a prequel to RDR has allowed for Rockstar to make a tremendous amount of call forwards, deliberately ensuring that playing RDR after its sequel will have more of an impact. One of these bits of foreshadowing happens when John is missing in a snowstorm at the beginning of the game, and Arthur and Javier are sent out to look for

Red Dead Redemption has its fair share of grounded details, like how Arthur’s interactions with people are negatively affected if he doesn’t mind his hygiene, and then there are unique details like an after-hours ghost. Who wouldn’t stay up late and wander darkened streets if it means running into a ghost? Fine, these ghosts play it even scarier by hanging out in alligator-infested swamps… but isn’t the danger worth meeting the spirit of Agnes Dowd ? Well, run into her on a foggy night at the Bluewater Marsh between 9 PM and 3 AM. Don’t worry about the foggy weather making it difficult to spot her – reportedly, she’s shout

I consistently struggled in trying to figure out just what Dan Houser and his co-writers were trying to convey throughout the story in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Whenever it appeared that some allegory was being set up, the scenarios would delve into quirkiness and involve stereotyped characters. Without detailing each one, I played three particular Stranger missions that put me off with that exact formula: the ones involving the characters of Margaret, Bertram, and the pair of Mr. Black and Mr. White. This video game, which is presented with the themes of modern Western stories, comes across more like a subpar attempt at subversion. Houser perhaps wants to satirize the caricatures of old Westerns, but ends up creating caricatures of his own. But hey, this is also coming from the same train of thought that replacing “Metlife” with “Getalife” in Grand Theft Auto IV was brilliant satire.

If you haven’t finished both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 , then put down this article and either go play them or find a Let’s Play video to watch, because today we’re going to be delving into major spoilers for both games. If you’re ready to dive in, come join us while we talk about 10 tributes RDR2 made to the original Red Dead Redempti

It has been almost three months since Red Dead Redemption 2 released and people are still having so much fun with its gameplay (I’m one of those people) as it has become a video game that is practically impossible to put down. There is so much to do in this open-world game and the story is top notch. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to the first game, telling the tale of what exactly happened to John Marston’s old gang, and we play most of the narrative through the eyes of Arthur Morgan, right-hand man for leader Dutch van der Linde. Alongside Morgan, we travel through the bittersweet narrative with a fresh pair of eyes, falling in love with the setting all over ag
