As this is a prequel to the first Red Dead Redemption, it's a safe bet you'll be fine.

From what I can tell the game only has like three revolvers which is a bit of a disappointment. There will probably be more, but in RDO as DLC.

It's a prequel. The main character from the previous game is a fellow member of your gang. But it's not like he or anyone else in the game knows what happens in the first game yet. There will almost certainly be other things thrown in for fans but tbh I really don't think you'll be missing much.

Wasn't there some insanely weird .50 derringer style one shot thing around?

Like it was more designer for being ambushed by a bear...

I don’t know about any cartridge derringers more powerful than .44 rimfire from the time period, except maybe .50 caliber muzzleloaders. There are derringers today going up to .45-70.

I went shooting today with an M1917 revolver (ballistically similar to the black powder .45 Colt loads of the old west) and a C96. I can see how the Mauser is an absolute game changer. Low recoil, high velocity, light trigger, extremely accurate...

I hope they just have the horse kicks/aggression dialled up way too high and people are being booted to death by horses every time you encounter a social setting.

It's almost certainly a very hyped up version of RDR1 probably with more encounters.

Not at all I just feel like people need to temper their expectations since the word emergent is being thrown around a lot.


When they happen is probably emergent but the events themselves are absolutely scripted unless Rockstar made a massive breakthrough in vidya game ai it was always going to be that way.

We would have heard about that by now.

Remember SOE trying that with Everquest NEXT or whatever it was called? They devoted a lot of resources to it and failed so miserably they got sold off to a shady Russian company.

Not really. Well designed systems disguise the tricks game designers use to make AI decisions and encounters seem emergent.

Heck people thought the exact same thing about RDR1.

"Horse kicks and kills its owner" is probably one of X amount of random things that can happen while you're riding around to spice up the world so it's probably both of those things.

It's not like this game is going to show me something that you will never see and you'll see things I don't.
