Red Dead Redemption 2 is, perhaps, one of the most inventive and game-changing releases in modern memory. Games that completely flip the table and set a new standard for the years to follow are few and far between, and you can be excused for not knowing how exactly to do everything in-game right off the bat. Hours and hours in and I’m still learning about mechanics and cool little tricks to do, and it seems like every few minutes the game is unfolding another facet for me to le
For whatever reason, despite clearing setting up a meaningful arc for Kieran, absolutely nothing happens with him until his demise. He has no story relevance, his side missions never delve into who he is, and the gang never properly accepts him. The only weight he has is the implication that Dutch is deliberately using Kieran as a martyr to influence the gang. Other than that? Kieran is was
However, the bandana isn’t an item that comes without consequence. For instance, lawmen don’t particularly react well to seeing a masked stranger, whether you’ve done anything wrong or not. And, wearing a bandana, committing a crime, and coming into town in the same outfit minus the bandana isn’t going to do much for you. After all, the NPC’s in this game aren’t idiots. Make sure you’ve got an entirely different outfit for your criminal activities, and you’ll find the lasting consequences much less sev
It feels like GTA V was basically a dry run for this. You know when you’re running around in the San Andreas desert, and just messing about? That has to have been something of a dress rehearsal for Red De
Alongside the numerous missions, side quests, and random encounters that players in Red Dead Redemption could find, the map was also littered with a handful of Western minigames that could be played at your pleasure: Blackjack, Poker, Horseshoes, Liar’s Dice, and Arm Wrestling. While there were specific goals tied to each of the games that would contribute to a 100% completion in the game, the minigames by themselves were largely optional and inconsequential, in the grand scheme of things. Of course, many of the minigames also carried with them some significant rewards in the form of cold hard cash; Liar’s Dice in particular was a game that could be pretty financially lucrative, if you knew how to play the table right. But more than that, the minigames in red dead redemption 2 tips Dead Redemption felt deeper than just fun distractions from the main story of John Marston.
In the town of Valentine, peer through the back window of the Doctor’s shop and sneak inside. There you can force the doctor to take you to the back room. There you will take out everyone inside and loot the box sitting on the table in the room. You can customize this weapon and if you buy a second one you can dual wield the weapon early in the g
Red Dead Redemption excelled at bringing players into a vast, Western open-world; even eight years after its release, it’s still one of my favorite game worlds to this day. Yet, what I also adored about the game is the fact that it proved to be just as exceptional in offering players smaller details to enjoy as much the larger ones, and a big portion of that (to me) comes from its collection of Western minigames.
The most observant among you will already know this, but I personally spent a somewhat embarrassing amount of time searching around for a manual save game option. There’s nothing worse than pulling off something completely awesome, only to die and realize the game never auto-sa

Chapter 1 feature a great introduction to hunting. Not only does Arthur need to move methodically and carefully while hunting his prey, he needs to physically track them by examining his surroundings. Then Eagle Vision comes into p
There’s no denying that Red Dead Redemption 2 is without a doubt the game that I am most looking forward to this year (like many others). While I’ve been pondering its story and gazed at what we’ve seen from its breathtaking open-world, one of my secret wishes is that the game will nail the smaller details that I came to admire from Red Dead Redemption , and along with that I am hoping for the return of its signature Western minigames in the upcoming sequel.
Who doesn’t love horse riding? Horse riding in the first game was an absolute treasure. There was a true joy to exploring the Wild West on horseback as John Marston and that extends to Arthur Morgan as well. For the most part. While horse riding is still generally quite fun, the new realism based mechanics can make it a bit of a ch
