Red Dead Redemption 2

Now that you mention dueling, I thought it would be a bigger part of the game. I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't a gunslinger challenge. Maybe that will be a DLC.

 

Have you played online yet?

 

Nope, not really into the online stuff. I miss the old days of split screen and LAN parties. I might try it if I upgrade my internet (don't have many options and picked the crappier internet because I didn't like the salesperson for the less bad internet).

 

Ahh I gotcha. Well there are gunslinger challenges online is why I asked.

 

Gotcha.

 

I think my biggest complaint is that a lot of the game is predetermined outcomes. Like when galloping down the path and strangers stop you. No no no I turned my horse and kept hitting the button, i didnt choose to stop.
Or when I heard a dude getting eaten by a cougar, rushed in and lit it up with dead eye, twice. Nope must not be there jn the game yet, it turned around and ate me.
Kinda annoying.

 

Is it wrong that I haven't even touched single player yet?

 

Hmm. Mine has been the opposite. I’ve stopped at least one person from getting killed. I’ve also blown past plenty of people asking for help.


Side note. Has anyone done anything with that hermit in the tree? I killed him (oops). I saw a video where you can get to that devil dude in the cave. Nothing happens though. I still want to go check that out

 

I've spent a lot of time wondering how to get to him. Seems like great company - the cave dweller.

 

Absolutely barbaric.

 

I set fire to the crazy priest dude after like 3 or 4 times running into him. Seemed like he needed an exorcism. #SorryNotSorry

 

Note. Don’t throw a Molotov cocktail into the tree guy’s house. He may or may not run into the hole and melt.

 

Holy cow. Decided to be a little bit of an outlaw today.
The pump action shotgun is pretty nifty. Wasnt expecting it to clean peoples heads off lol.
Went on a rampage and found that the bounty maxes out....
Had a good pile of lawmen on the railroad tracks and no train came, decided since I was invincible I would take on a gator with my knife...couldnt quite move quick enough...


Found out something interesting though. Some stats advance quicker when you commit crimes....no more mister nice guy.

I feel like the game plays towards a good or a bad side. When your intent is to kill everything that moves, looted bodies offer up more ammo and health tonics. Where as if you are a good guy, Ive found that I get more jewlery and crafting items from looted bodies.

 

Also, anyone else notice that your horse actually gets cleaner as you brush it?

 

I’m too busy watching his balls shrink when I get him in the snow...

 

Did you do side stuff or just story missions?

 

I did a lot of the side missions. I’d guess maybe 70% during the main game then finished what I could after.

 

I got to level 10 on the Horseman challenge. Damn gotta tame one of every type horse.

That's worse than fishing in this game.

 

You also get a discount from vendors if you have high honor. It maxes at 50%.

 

I find it to be very tedious to accomplish the smallest of tasks....I find that I will set out for a specific task (hunt, treasure or robbery) and get side tracked or something. Itll take 10 minutes to get to a location, someone will jump me, I kill and have to scram, end up with a bounty, have to deal with that, days over, better eat and feed the horse, better get back to camp to restock and sleep... oh shit, look at that, 4 hrs spent on the game and have literally made no progress.

Probably just going to start back into the missions again. Its tough not having money for anything and I am falling out of the story line and no one in camp contributes (sloths)

Lol oh and I havent even fished yet.

Still though, I really enjoy just wondering around, crest a hill, bust out the binoculars and have a look around.
