Some people defended the gameplay mechanics and criticized u/Bizrat's approach to the game, including u/Mainehammer207. They make a great point in saying, "Honestly I think you missed out on half the game entirely. If I fast traveled everywhere, was distracted on my phone and used Dead Eye to kill everyone then obviously the game will get sta

The game contained all the great gameplay that made GTA III so revolutionary, the Vice City setting remains one of the most popular in the entire GTA canon, and Tommy ( voiced by none other than Ray Liotta ) proved one of the best protagonists in gaming . It's an undeniable clas

Their return has a momentary silver lining when Arthur finds the remaining Van der Linde gang members camped out near San Denis. That reunion is cut short when the Pinkerton National Detective Agency , which has been chasing them from the start of the story, attacks the remnants of the gang and forces them to relocate into the mountains near a mining town named Annesb

But unlike GTA V , its side characters prove just as captivating and interesting. Everyone is given a unique personality, subplot, and/or character arc , everyone has their "thing" and everyone proves memorable - from secondary protagonists Dutch and John all the way down to Lenny and Kie

The 3D open world was unlike anything seen in gaming at the time, and the level of freedom that the game afforded its players was simply unimaginable. This game singlehandedly launched the industry into the 21st century, and its reverberations are still being felt to this

While this may be true, that's the case for every open-world video game, not just Red Dead Redemption 2 . This is also somewhat mitigated in-game, as characters will make direct reference to Arthur's prolonged absen

Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing - so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod

They write, "The gunplay is way too easy and the stakes of the story seem so small . I don't feel like the game has big enough consequences to really engage me and the fact that I can abuse the auto-lock aim system doesn't help." Quite an unpopular opinion, especially considering players have the option to turn auto-lock

But then again, its uniqueness is exactly why players love it - that and the nostalgia. But u/-Captain- doesn't like it, writing , "Seems like it is thrown in there for no other reason than just being the

A few days later in the same spot, the player can run into the brothers and Helen again. This time, their challenge of bravery has escalated to withstanding different punches. After three rounds of absorbing blows, neither brother is left standing so Helen decides to cart them a

There's no denying that Rockstar is one of the greatest video game development companies of all time. They have an incredible string of games behind them, and each product they release is almost a guaranteed winner. In an age when releases are becoming less and less predictable (see the disastrous launch that was Cyberpunk 2077 ), Rockstar remains a shining example of guaranteed quality and va

While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments - both Arthur and John have quickfire wit - it’s the 'Stranger' missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them - and Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Dead pulls them off perfec

A day later, players can continue the Red Dead Redemption 2 Stranger Mission by returning to Obediah’s house, and he will answer the door mumbling about demons. A woman will scream and the sound of barking will begin as rabid dogs descend upon the village, which makes for a slightly less terrifying threat when compared to RDR2's actual vampires, ghosts , and supernatural phenom

While it’s easy to draw some of the side quests out over a few gaming sessions, this stranger encounter is too fun and intriguing not to do in one sitting. Margaret, a circus performer, has crashed his caravan and lost three exotic animals in the pastures near Bluewater Ma

Many people criticize the open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 for being too large and too expansive, with some horse rides taking fifteen or twenty minutes. This was intentional. Luckily, Rockstar has peppered the game with an incredible amount of detail, and there's always something fun to

A rumor in Rhodes has it that both families have vast stashes of gold and riches hidden somewhere in the region. Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthew hatch a plan to warm up to both families, then sneakily escalate tensions so they can make off with the gold when the fighting reaches a climax. Arthur and the crew embark on shadowy missions to gain the favor of the Grays and Braithwaites while also sabotaging them behind their backs. When it seems that Dutch's plot might go off without a hitch, it becomes clear that the gang was being played the whole t
