From the IGN review:


:hmmyes:

Reminds me when people say they play female characters because "you're going to be looking at their butt anyway".


Uh, I don't stare at my characters rear end, I look at the environment and enemies, c'mon.

My mom wanted to buy me a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PS4, but I told the old hag to go to hell. Real gamers with 'tude know that only the X-Box One X™ had the power to deliver True Cowboy Action. X-Box™ is the Voice of a New Generation.

The besst nonspinoff X-Men movie is a prequel. The Planet of the Apes prequel series is one of the best movie trilogies ever made.

Also Rockstar already made a half dozen prequels to GTA 3 and they were all pretty good too.

How'd folks feel if an openworld game like RDR3 came out and there was no main mission plotline, just several distinct sidequest plotlines that were fully parallel? And the resources poured into the main plot were instead allocated elsewhere?

No thanks. The story has been a big reason I love both games.

Wouldn't mind if Rockstar overhauled their mission design, however.

Can you cheat at card games in this one like you could in the first game?

Regular Dominoes is easy. Just match the pips and be the first one to run out of dominoes. Try to use up your high value dominoes first.

What I don't understand is the variant you also find in game based on 5s.

Of course a straight up regular black jacket isn’t available until the epilogue :mad:

Think that's bad? There are no ponchos at all in this game.

Sure, the game takes place further east and all that, but c'mon.

For some reason they decided to make a bunch of fake presidents for this one when the first game had real president Wilson.

I don't remember any reference to Liberty City in the first RDR. Usually it seems like the actual game world is fictional but everything beyond its borders is mostly real, getting less fictional the further away you get.

Naw, Rhodes is more of a plantation town of the Deep South. Oklahoma was still Indian territory in 1899.

The Heartlands is Kansas what with the name and being just East of the "Grizzlies" and all. I don't think the game lines up 1:1 with real places but Abilene, KS is a somewhat comparable cattle town. e: Or Dodge City. It's definitely Dodge City.

It's a lot easier to swallow a fake Caribbean nation than it is to fake America's huge, sole, southern neighbor. Might as well call the US Liberty Land or whatever at that point.

That one took me a while. If you're playing at the Van Horn blackjack table try switching to the Rhodes table (or vice versa.) They seemed to give me lower value cards.

e: For some reason the last Gambler challenge is way easier than half the ones before it.

Try to imagine a Rockstar game with the mission design philosophy of Metal Gear Solid 5. They can still have the great writing and characters, but just give you a bit more freedom in the missions with a bunch of flexible tools to accomplish it.

I discovered the hat earlier today and felt so fly strolling back into camp when the first thing I heard was someone (forget who) asking Arthur why he was dressed so stupid.

Did anyone else do this?

(very mild spoilers) That mission where the bounty hunters hide in the corn. The game wants you to watch birds being startled to find them but I just chucked dynamite randomly into each field.

It's a great feeling too, to be stopped by some fools and to slowly inch your hand down to your gun belt, the camera pulling in...

Then blam, you waste everyone before they can even draw. :clint:

Canonical path: Go to the show in St. Denis. Don't take your seat, instead stand as close to the stage as possible, with no consideration for the people behind you. Heckle the guy presenting the show whenever he appears, then mash the hoot button when the talent comes on stage.
