You get the cards when you acquire a new pack, so all you have to do is smoke a single cigarette then buy/find another pack to get another card.

I hosed up. I hosed up real bad.

I bought a shotgun and then bought some ammo for it. I already had some ammo though so now my shotgun ammo is full so I can’t get the rest of the ammo from the mail or my camp and the shotgun is behind it I’m guessing? Why did they make it so you can only collect one item like this?

edit: turns out I’m an idiot and it was just on my horse

Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

Some pubs didn't like me surviving an assasination mission so they took it upon themselves to have a rolling gunfight through the bayou. Which is fun, ok sure. Then their pals joined up and it's nothing but diving with varmint rifles. That lost its flavor pretty quick so let's just server hop.

Oh. They followed me.

Five more times afterwards.

Sure hope we get those invite lobbies soon.

I really liked Arthur's story, even if it is one of failure and destruction and trying to salvage whatever you can from the remains

In online if you delete your character and start over do you keep all the clothes and weapons you bought? I have a friend asking me; I know you keep money and gold.

I googled this earlier today and determined that no you don't keep bought weapons. If they were a pre-order or bonus tho you do.

Finally finished the epilogues.
Kinda bummed that the game switched John back to his stupid cowboy outfit for the final cutscene. I spent quite some time picking out my perfect mountains-revenge outfit. Oh well.
Also lol that I suddenly have 20k. No idea what to spend that on.

They're different hats I'm afraid.

RDR2 in of itself is pretty amazing. I think it is the first game that genuinely achieves being what I would consider art. The story of redemption doesn't feel forced, it has good subtle moments where tons is communicated with little said (Arthur merely looking at John while riding with the gang shortly after deciding his "good act" will be getting John and his family the gently caress out).

None of the interacts feel forced and you learn to like, or hate, the characters based on how they behave rather than them opening up about some huge backstory out of the gate. Lenny loving rules because you get blasted with him. It's only afterwards you find out his backstory. So you give a poo poo before the game tries to force you to give a poo poo.

That said having played RDR1 it does kind of sour the experience a bit as Arthur isn't mentioned once in any way. Even just a sentence of "Do you still about him?" "Who Arthur? All the time." and just leaving it like that. John's hat is different than Arthur's as well, so that isn't even a nod. You can select Arthur or John's hat. It just seems clear they had Dutch planned out pretty well as a concept for RDR1 but Arthur wasn't even in the game plan.


I don't want to rag on the game. RDR2 has set a new standard for story quality for me. It's like the first time you played Metal Gear Solid and it's like a movie or the first time I played Mass Effect with all the branching stories and dialog. For sure RDR2 doesn't have branching stories but the story it does tell actually succeeds. When Arthur makes his final stand for John you feel feelings, you're proud for him as a character.

agree with all this

This was the first story/choice game where my RP playstyle actually felt like I was the one giving my character an arc. When Arthur gets diagnosed I found myself organically wanting to play a kinder, gentler character then I had been, particularly as I progressed the Charlotte and Hamish stories.

I even thought it was my fault, because I had up until that point smoked cigarettes all the goddamn time. Anytime I found a pack, smoked em. During a gun fight, I would take cover and smoke em. Start of a mission, smoked em. After a mission, smoked em. :clint:

Also loved how he spent time writing letters to his girl who can't read. :haw:

You probably know the partial solution to that problem, but just in case, because it took me way too many hours to realize: horses can swim in this one.

Finished it the other day (not the epilogue yet) and the whole endgame sequence is great but those two moments are 100% what got me.

Despite being flawed and compromised in many ways, it's one of only two video game stories which have ever actually made me feel something, and the other one was Telltale's Walking Dead (the first two seasons, anyway). I don't think that's a coincidence: both are games which strongly encourage you (subtly and not-so-subtly) to roleplay, in which you're controlling a well-defined character while still having a good degree of autonomy over how that character is going to act. When serious story beats start happening, you play as you think that character would react, and it doesn't feel like an obligation to do so. It feels like the natural reaction. I 100% agree with the many people who say that after (story event spoiler) the TB diagnosis they started playing Arthur as a much more moral character. That feels like what Arthur would do. That feels like the more interesting story to tell.

And it's a measure of success that so many players in this game feel compelled to steer in that direction, rather than feeling that avoiding crime and trying to be a decent man is boring. I've seen so many critical reviews about how it's still a Rockstar game and they have to force you to not be able to shoot people in camp etc because it's still fundamentally a let-rip violence simulator and they can't trust the players - and there is some truth to that! - but whatever, man, for me it was a really loving amazing experience in which I was more then happy to let the game nudge me down the appropriate path. I don't really care what the 16-year-olds who are now griefing in Red Dead Online are doing, or what they thought about the story. I never once had the kind of rampage that I would have had in a non-mission bit of gameplay in GTA, and I am more than happy with that. The storyline has flaws, issues and mistakes up to and including stuff where a non-video-game-developer like me feels entitled to lecture "you should have done this instead," but it still massively succeeds in spite of that.

Either that or I'm still processing the ending. For now, I can say that as someone who found RDR1 pretty and fine, but story-wise and gameplay-wise basically boring and pointless, RDR2 is definitely up there with my greatest video game experiences of all time, and definitely one of the best video game story experiences of all time.

How are so many people not realizing they are two totally different hats? They're not at all similar besides being black. Jack wears his dad's hat in RDR1 though.
