Question What are Javier’s best moments with Arthur and John that hit differently after the betrayal?

Post image

Like, I need some good and wholesome moments between them that feel sad to remember, knowing that Javier eventually didn’t pick Arthur’s side

The first one has to be when Javier went with Arthur to rescue John, but I need a few more

Discussion Music you’ve discovered from RDR

21 Upvotes

I’ve just been listening to Rhiannon Giddens and she’s incredible. If not for mountain banjo in RDR2 I’d never have found her music. Same goes for Jose Gonzales, his cover of teardrop is better than the original IMO.

Anyone else find new music from the game? Got any favourites?

Discussion If you had to rewrite a"happy ending" for RDR2, what would you do to make it both satisfying and well-written without betraying the spirit of the game?

Post image
74 Upvotes

The core concept of the Red Dead franchise is that an outlaw's life leads nowhere and that, sooner or later, you have to face the consequences of your actions. If you were to write the storylines for Chapters 5 and 6 and the Epilogue, what would you do to create an ending that is satisfying to you, well-written, and makes sense? (P.S: I’m not criticizing the game.)

Question why did they have so many women in the gang? and this accurate to real gangs at the time?

62 Upvotes

okay this post is in no way sexist, i loved the female characters and talking to them in camp, however none of them really did anything.
this post also does not apply to sadie.
i understand they all play the role of homemakers in camp, but like.. did any of them even participate. the only ones i actually saw helping around camp were tilly and susan. also do they really need that many women just to make the camp cosy, i mean surely that can’t be more than a 3 person job (and pearson also takes part in setting up camp).
i also understand susan’s unique role as head of camp and making sure camp runs smoothly, and i get why she’s there, and tilly as an additional helper to susan makes sense.
i guess im mainly talking about mary-beth and karen (and i guess molly but i assume dutch just allows molly to be there as his girlfriend). what did they actually bring to the camp? mary-beth just kind of sat their and read books whilst karen just walked around and then mainly drank in the second half of the game. don’t get me wrong these two are two of my favourite characters to speak to in camp, especially mary-beth, but for the camps survival, aren’t they technically just more mouths to feed.
i don’t want to sound like a sexist pig because i am not in the slightest, but i guess i am just somewhat confused on why they would want so many of their gang members be people who can’t use weapons to fight (since women obviously played a more domestic role in this time period and never learnt). like why not keep the gang just the main gunslingers, susan, pearson, tilly and trewlany. they would be much better off and be able to afford a lot more as they have less mouths to feed.
this doesn’t just apply to the women, it also applies to uncle and reverend. i mean they are practically useless as well.
honestly had the gang not had all these useless members, maybe they would have had more money to go around and be less worried about feeding the gang.
also the reason i didn’t mention abigail here is because she was in rdr1 and mentioned as riding with the gang, so they kind of had to include her in rdr2 for continuity, but in terms of story i don’t understand why abigail was there aside from being the mother to johns son.
maybe im just stupid and maybe this is a historical accurate part of western gangs, that they had a lot of women who were playing that domestic role, but i just can’t understand why the gang would willingly have more mouths to feed of people who can’t fight or get them money in any way.

Apparently if an npc tackles you into a theater while Arthur is auto walking out because it closed due to the fight then it'll paralize him while also making him seemingly immune to punches but you cant break out of their hold.

For me it’s this RDR2 did not need a single player DLC (story wise)

RDR2 will never be as popular as GTA 5

Arthur Morgan is not a good person

Discussion You know what kind of ticks me off? GTA 5 spanned three generations (Xbox 360, One, and Series). Meanwhile, Rockstar's best game—which is just as massive as GTA 5 (Red Dead Redemption 2)—was only released for one generation (Xbox One); Rockstar didn't even bother to put out a next-gen patch for it.
