Red Dead Redemption 2

I saw a video about that on YT but didn't bother watching it. I dont think they're GTA characters, easter eggs are nice, but having GTA characters in a Western based game where the timelines are drastically different, ruins the credibility of both titles.

Not really they can easily connect them by saying their long-lost relatives

[Shindol]

I wouldve appreciated GTA Vs multiple character system in this game. Main missions and stranger missions still focused on Arthur of course but the ability to earn money for the camp and other activities playing as other characters wouldve been great. I never really did anything dastardly with Arthur because it didnt fit his character. The only criminal act (aside from main missions) I committed was accidentally stealing a guys horse when trying to get on my own.

Micah wouldve been my go to guy if I wanted to do anything psychotic. Id do all my hunting playing as Charles and then switch to Uncle so he could get pissed in the saloon in Valentine.

Then how can they be GTA characters, if they're not?

 

 

And I think being a real Outlaw, as in murdering innocents, robbing back room operations, getting into bar fights only to stab the guy to death, fits Arthurs character perfectly fine. It's all about you, and the reactions you choose to have with the NPC's. Instead of greeting them, I mostly antagonize them until it lbuilds to a head, and they DIE !

@ Shindol

 

would've loved to be able to switch between John, Sadie, and Charles in/after the epilogue

RDR and RDR2 both mention New York. They dont call it Liberty City so I doubt RDR and GTA exist in the same universe anyway. Just Easter eggs.

[Shindol]

Online beta starts tomorrow for Ultimate Edition owners and Wednesday for anybody that started playing on the 26th. Everybody else by Friday. Lets see if Ill play this longer than GTA Online.

[Jeb ★]

I'm gonna assume we need PS Plus to play online, rip

[Generations]

I'll give online a shot, since I just finished the main game. Still need 100% though. But, yeah...I got left behind in GTA Online because I started it late and then never kept up. I'll try to make Red Dead different.

[AlterNation]

Alright then. I hope the launch isn't botched like GTA Online was.

[Mango kid]

Idk im iffy with what they can do online unlike GTA the time period makes a huge handicap on the online play compare to gta online

[King RyderFan]

Alright then. I hope the launch isn't botched like GTA Online was.

To be fair, every major service has issues when first launched. I would not be surprised if RDR online had issues at launch.

I feeling like the Guarma chapter wasn't very relevant and could've been replaced by something like the gang being forced to go past Blackwater or something

[Mango kid]

You couldnt even explore it

 

It like rockstar has this thing where u have to go to this other location every game happen in vice city or SA I do which on let u got to liberty city 5 red dead

I hated that part.

 

 

 

 

I mean...I get the idea of A) showing that the gang finally hit rock bottom. And B) showing that Dutch had this idea to go to a tropical island (which ends up being a terrible idea when they actually experience it). But...yeah, not my favorite of locations. Too much hand-holding and forced linear progression.

 

Also, if you didn't get the compendium info for animals and stuff while there, does that count against you? Can you go back somehow?

 

[TrisetMaster908]

Woo Yes Red Dead Online tomorrow!

[Creepy Bro]

[Shindol]

The character creation looks pretty decent from what Ive seen. Might have to try and do Buster Scruggs.

[Generations]

That's really shitty that ultimate edition gets online first. Could have just done day-1 or pre-order players across the board.

[Mango kid]

My guess they did that too not overload the servers as much

[Mr.Dreadful]

gold bar glitch got patched to. damn

[TrisetMaster908]

Really enjoyed playing Online last night. I only did regular online for about an hour, did the horse mission and just did the PVP multiplayer. I dislike the Territory the most. And like Name Your Weapons the most, then it's Most Wanted. Got MVP once. I got the High Velocity Pistol from The Fence on Emerald Ranch, and it was free so I suggest tall get that. And sold my horse they gave me, for, cant remember the type of horse, but it was red and white and I HAD to name her Epona

 

Got over $100 now. I really want a better shotgun, mostly double barrel since it is OP AF. I racked up so many kills in name your Weapons. I'm bad with the tomahawk, I know to use Dead Eye and select the target. REALLY bumbed out that I lost the group I was playing with because Rockstar had an error and it kicked us

 

So if anyone wants to team up I'm Triset908 on PS4

Are CAWS here Create A Westerner?

[Generations]

I tried to play online earlier, but it still wasn't up. That was around noon EST. So, I'm guessing it's probably up by now?

[Shindol]

20 minutes into free roam and Im done. Started a stranger mission to deliver mail and got attacked by a posse. I couldnt retrieve the mail bag because it was around their location. I managed to kill two of them at one point and ran for the bag but got killed by a third member. By the time I respawned, they did too and it felt like Groundhog Day after 5 deaths. I stopped fighting to write this post and they got bored after a couple of more kills and left. By that time my quest timer had depleted and Im left in the middle of nowhere having to travel back to Blackwater to pick up a quest.

Im not gonna blame the game though because its tailored for this kind of gameplay. Its just not what I wanna be doing.
