That's another huge open world game where discovery is just as fun as the main tasks. The reason why I was so addicted to it was, one, it's a great world to explore. Two, there were plenty of ways to fast travel and get around thus incentivizing me to keep exploring. Red Dead Redemption II doesn't do that. It has travel hubs, which are far off from the places you want to see. Actually getting to these areas from towns isn't the problem. It's getting back in one piece. Maybe I'm just too irritable. No matter, point is, thank goodness for everyone else out there. Let's get to

Slightly south you will find a viking burial ground where you can obtain a helmet and hatchet. The helmet looks cool, but it doesn't have any special attributes and the hatchet is just a throwing axe that is slightly alte

How are all of you guys and girls finding Red Dead Redemption 2 ? Are you tearing through the story or taking it slow? I think most people are taking the latter option. I know that I am. I've still not beaten the thing, despite playing it for about a month now. In fact, I'm just about halfway through the game, and that's at a push. One thing that's striking me about this game is just how much depth there is to it. Every single element of the game is a cog in this great interlocking system that forms the overall game. That brings with it a whole host of complexity, and a number of little touches that the game doesn't even tell you about! In this article, we're going to go through 30 of these, which should help you live out that wild west hero lifestyle just a little bit m

This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It's really simple, they just don't like

Ultimately, this is a problem of modern game design. Before the seventh generation, games needed to be playtested extensively due to how problematic it was to fix a glitch. Buggy game? You need to ship out a whole new batch of games. Now you can overlook potential bugs thanks to patches resulting in an entire plotline being done out of or

You know in the tutorial, where your hat gets knocked off by an O'Driscoll? That makes it seem as though it'll always be easy to find your hat. Not so. All too often I've ridden off into the sunset only to realize that Arthur now has a rapidly developing sunburn. You can always get it back though. Your horse doubles as a traveling haberdashery, and if you go into its L1/LB menu, you can find all your hats in the bottom ri

All that shooting, running, and wrasslin' gets Arthur real dirty, real quick. If you're too covered in dirt or blood, people won't look upon you in a good light. To clean up, and also clean your clothes, go to a hotel. Get a bath, and wash yourself. If you're not fancying doing the whole cleaning minigame, you can pay extra for a deluxe service, and get someone else to wash you. The best part? Doing this will somehow magically clean your clothes

After a gunfight, there's always a lot of carnage. One part of this carnage are the bodies of your fallen foes. It may not be the best manners, but always loot them before you go on your merry way. You can often find useful items or valuables on them, that you can then sell at a fence. Just make sure to be quick: the law often make their way towards scenes of crimes, and you don't want to get caught red-han

I'm not the only one who's been binge-watching old westerns since starting Red Dead Redemption 2 achievements Dead 2 am I? No? Good! Well, you know how the characters often shoot into the air, firing off warning shots or clearing space using their shooting irons? You can do this too! Red Dead isn't very good at telling you this, but it's really easy. When you're aiming, simply tap up on the D-pad, and Arthur will aim his gun into the air. You can make wildlife scatter, fire warning shots, and scare witnesses into stopping by doing

Although normally it's best to sell valuables, if you come across anything particularly rare, hold onto it. You often need a particular valuable to craft trinkets that boost your stats. To make a talisman, you need to head to the fence, and go into the craft screen. Here, you'll be able to see exactly what you need to make the item. You'll need a couple of animal pelts or parts, and a particular, unique valuable. They are well worth the effort, trust

So it really sucks when I'm clearly trying to do right by people, but, because some civilians got nudged a tad too roughly by my galloping horse, I suddenly become a villain. Regular townspeople can be a mite sensitive when it comes to how you interact with them...or around t

If Arthur is the muscle and Dutch is the mouthpiece, then Hosea is the mind of Dutch’s gang. He’s the one who investigates each town, meets the locals, and crafts schemes to keep the gang afloat. In many ways, he’s a common swindler, using his intellect to help the people around him get ah
