Although Kieran does choose to stay, the very prospect of Arthur letting him go at all is ridiculous. Not only is Arthur potentially putting an envoy of Dutch’s worse enemy back in the open, Kieran could have very easily ran back to Colm to rat out Horseshoe Overlook. Arthur’s brief kindness was bred from a stupidity he shouldn’t poss

How do you fancy being able to circle strafe around enemies while riding your horse? If you want to channel your inner 90s FPS protagonist and combine power and maneuverability, you can! All you have to do is hold down Square/X and a direction on the X-axis. Another little bit of advanced equine tactics for you: if you want to do a sharp 90-degree turn, you can do so by holding down R1/RB and hitting a direction on the X-a

Let’s actually dig a bit deeper into this continuity error. In the first gang, John’s biggest complaint about the gang was that they were no a family. Every piece of affection was superficial. The end of the second game tries to imply this was indeed the case all along by having most characters abandon Dutch, bu

If you're riding off the roads, be careful, and be prepared. There are countless, and I mean countless, ways for you and your horse to come a cropper. Whether it's a high rock that you tumble over, a sharp drop that you don't stop in time for, or a darn tree, they'll all do a ton of damage. If your horse suffers enough damage, it will start to shuffle off this mortal coil, and you can either help them out or revive them. To do this, you need a Horse Revive, which can be purchased from a general st

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

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

I'm not the only one who's been binge-watching old westerns since starting Red 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

It's not just the atmosphere that is so attractive. The gameplay of Red Dead Redemption 2 is dynamic and engaging. However, before my nose is properly browned from singing this game's praises so much, there are certain factors of the game that are just ridiculous. Don't misunderstand me; I adore this game. Though I have to admit, there are moments that just make no sense. Whether it's the riding mechanics, the meticulous attention to realism, or the insane character decisions, Red Dead Redemption 2 is not exempt from the foibles of most video gam

In the West Elizabeth arc during the first game, Dutch mentions plain and clear that John was legally married to Abigail. John fell in love with her and the two were wed while they were in the gang. There is nothing to dispute this. Come the second game, they are indeed married, except not rea

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, so we all know how the story is going to turn out. We know what will happen to the Van der Linde gang. Every happy moment becomes sad knowing the eventual outcome of the plot. It's like every footstep led downwards into this puddle of gloom. Thanks, Red Dead Redemptio

Speaking of Dutch, isn’t it a bit odd that everyone in the game calls the gang "Dutch’s Gang?" On a surface level, it makes perfect sense. Dutch is the figurehead. He is the man who makes all the big speeches and he is the man who rides with the gang time and time again. He isn’t the only leader, tho

Either due to a glitch or an oversight, it’s possible to do Edith Downes’ missions in Chapter 6 out of order. Depending on how players proceed, they’ll be helping Edith Downes leave Annesburg only to find her in Annesburg with Arthur having never helped her at all. It’s a totally nonsensical turn of events that should have been examined clos

More ground to cover leaves room for more mistakes. While the untrained eye will reach the credits without much to complain about, savvier gamers will see the flaws right away. Red Dead Redemption 2 Outfits Dead Redemption II often does not make sense. For a game that tells such a detailed character study in regards to Arthur Morgan, a lot of the key beats genuinely do not make sense. Whether they be narrative or simply character related, thinking too hard helps the cracks show far more than Rockstar perhaps ever intended. This is not to say the story is bad, far from it, but that it is undeniably fla
