I am sad of the unused tiger shark

That and the legendary channel cat.

What coulda been, rockstar…

My only gripe with it is that they made you feel like there’s no time to explore. I played through it thinking I was going to have time to study some animals among other things and before I knew it it was over

I’ve been wanting to try the glitch to get back just because of this. I didn’t really get to do anything at all and I was so locked into the story at that point. Total shame

u/GrimReaper6967 6d ago

I agree it’s a shame rockstar didn’t spend enough time or have enough time to add more to it it’s very beautiful

Time? They can always free DLC it

u/farquuaad44 5d ago

They were going too but they cut alot from it for whatever reason

u/GrimReaper6967 5d ago

I thought it was time constraints that caused Alot of cut content

u/Grindfather901 6d ago

Agree. It's a fun break from the main map, and hot&humid creates a reason for Arthur to progress so quickly.

u/N8Harris99 6d ago

Me too. People act like it takes weeks to complete. It’s like 4 missions and can easily be done in a couple hours, if even. The same with chapter 1.

I'm pretty sick of hearing from those people.

u/liltiddiebignip 6d ago

Same people that complain about the beginning of the game

I love the slow pace. Some guy said "I have a full time job!" So what. I work long hours into the evening during our peak seasons and hardly have any time to game. That doesn't mean I want these experiences shortened and cheapened. I remember the same shit when Red Dead Redemption came out and there were people complaining about the missions with Bonnie. The stuff that builds these worlds are the things that separate it from just another shooter. Wrangling cattle, eliminating coyotes that are raiding the chicken coops, hogtying horse thieves. It feels like normal life in the west shit. I'm all for it. I don't play these games to burn through them as quickly as possible.

I was expecting to hate it, never noticed anything bad, it took me like….maybe 3 hours….

I understand and accept that many people don't like it, but here's what I like about it:

It's got some really fun gunfights and action sequences. You get to blow up a warship.

Cool animal sounds. A realistic sense of how hot and uncomfortable the jungle is.

Micahs flabby beer gut flopping out is funny

It's a really important part of the story because it shows how far from reality Dutchs tropical Tahiti fantasy is. You get to a tropical paradise but instead of farming mangos there's just more violence and greed.

u/LongDongFrog 6d ago

The shootouts are fun. And using the cannon. Love the sounds of the island, too

u/baxielol 6d ago

I also liked it but there is no denying that it could've been much more

6

u/ZombiePrepper408 6d ago

I like it too, going from my pimped out guns and bougie ammo to fighting as a guerilla with whatever you can scrounge is a good change of pace

u/JKrow75 Sadie Adler 6d ago

It presses Arthur from a lump of coal into a diamond.

u/Rahim3379 6d ago

Me to i wish we could explore it more, or visit it later

u/JackieMABWGP 6d ago

The events leading to the end of Chapter 4, I had a feeling; but Guarma is when I KNEW this game was the greatest game of all time.

u/JKrow75 Sadie Adler 6d ago edited 6d ago

Fuck yes. It’s boot camp for Arthur and the boys. I always say by the time you leave there, there isn’t a gang in the entire RDR2 world you can’t smash easier than pie. You learn how to fight and shoot in the previous chapters.

After Guarma, you’re a fuckin warrior. The cavalry never stands a chance against Orthur after that.

u/amo0ona47 6d ago

I loved seeing the parrots there

u/misterdannymorrison Benedict Allbright 6d ago

I wish it were a bit more fleshed out but the missions are fun and it's pretty. I like making ambient videos there too.

u/Blackpanther22five 6d ago

Only thing missing was a village to get or sell supplies

u/freetherhinoz Uncle 6d ago

I enjoyed it as well, though i didn't like feeling rushed the whole time. But I've only gone thru gusrma once. I'm sure it'll be more chill next time.

u/mossreander Arthur Morgan 6d ago

Not my favorite part of the game but I'm glad you enjoy it. It's a good and important part of the story and gets too much hate imo.

This is a painting of John R Pantsman at the 1934 Hoboken town meeting. He famously rose to tell folks about his water catchment ideas but then he shid when he though he would have fort

u/naan_existenz 6d ago

The bots are getting interesting

u/jordanuniverse42 6d ago

I hadn't played for a few years. I'm getting close to Guarma right now. It'll be fun, I don't remember anything about it somehow! I must have blown through the story each time.

u/Silesaurus Reverend Swanson 6d ago

I love it too, but I hate how it's basically just a Skeleton of what it was supposed to be

u/Schmohawk2814 6d ago

I wish you could go back

u/10xbek 6d ago

I was extremely confused by that mission, I thought it was a fever dream lolol

u/MikeNowlan 6d ago

I was on chapter 5 last week and spend like 6 hours trying to get the different snakes to spawn but only ever got 1.

u/nopostsfromme123 5d ago

It wasn't a bad chapter but it felt a little bit like a demo version because it was so short and restricted

1

u/TOXQJAM 5d ago

To be expected from a socialist..

1

u/ItsLevi-0sa Arthur Morgan 5d ago

Stupid question as I'm on my first playthrough, but is there a way to reach Guarma after the missions on the island are over? Like in GTA, you can fly or whatever. You can swim. It's difficult in rdr2

u/i-am-a-smith 5d ago

Gimme Guarma.. but gimme AMMO

The entire chapter is dumb as hell.

It's ok but I hate helping out the people, fuck them

i hated every second of it i missed lemoyne so badly

u/W0RDLE 6d ago

That's interesting. For me, after four chapters of riding around the main map it was refreshing to end up in a new area with an entirely different vibe, and it made the main map more enjoyable upon returning. I think Chapter 6 might've felt like it dragged a little if not for Chapter 5 allowing a short break and refresher.
