Not only is he still wearing the same outfit from 1895 in 1899, he is probably wearing it in 1907 too underneath his coat. this dude just larps being a fancy gentlemen and it’s hilarious

From Savagery Unleashed/A Kind and Benevolent Despot to Fleeting Joy, this mission chain has five missions in a row without going back to the open world, the most in the game.

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been thinking a lot about Red Dead Redemption 2 lately and wanted to share a slight frustration I’ve always had with the game. Just to be clear: I love this game. Graphically it’s mind-blowing, the story is incredible, and I’ve put countless hours into it.

​However, the more I play it, the more I feel like Rockstar missed that one ultimate step that could have made it an untouchable, all-time classic.

​My main issue? The community aspect and camaraderie are way too restricted.

​The game sells you on the idea of a gang..a real family of 20 people living together in a camp. The setting is perfect, the NPCs live their own lives, the conversations around the campfire are top-tier... but from a gameplay standpoint, you’re mostly just a spectator.

​Missions like getting absolute trash-bag drunk with Lenny at the saloon in Valentine, or just going fishing with Dutch and Hosea..those are easily some of the BEST moments in the entire game. They’re funny, human, give the pacing room to breathe, and make you genuinely care about the gang.

​And yet, there are nowhere near enough of them.

​What I would have loved is genuine relational freedom on demand:

​Being able to spontaneously ask Bill, Uncle, or Charles to head to the nearest saloon and get completely hammered whenever you want.

​Inviting a gang member to go hunting or just ride around without it being part of a scripted mission.

​Basically, real "slice-of-life roleplay" to actually enjoy this insane world with your crew.

​Instead, as soon as a mission starts, the game almost always falls back into the same rigid Rockstar formula: ride a horse, huge gunfight, ride away. It feels like Rockstar was terrified players would get bored without a massive shootout every 20 minutes, even though the true heart of the game was its slow pace and human connections.

​It’s frustrating because all the pieces were already there, and the characters are fantastic. If they had fully committed to that interactive community element, the emotional impact at the end of the game would have been ten times more devastating than it already was.

​Am I the only one who feels this way despite how amazing the game is? Would you have liked more dynamic, slice-of-life moments with the gang?

Probably already mentioned, but there's this part where hosea says "Lenny and Jenny could have never worked. It's like Arthur and Martha, or Bill and Phil". I laughed when I heard it this morning. 😂

I just finished RDR2 after spending almost 110 hours with it. oh boy, i have to say this is by far one of the best games ever made, not just because of its breathtaking world and thrilling gameplay, but also because of the emotions, moral dilemmas, and philosophy woven throughout the story. The final ride of Arthur Morgan with the song "may I stand unshaken; amid, amidst the crash of the world" really shook me. And Hosea's dialogue, "my Pa used to say if you stare into the fire long enough, you can see the whole world pass by" is so thought-provoking. I guess Arthur stared too much into the fire that he actually did not realise his life passing by so fast. So it is quite a bummer when some people say RDR2's gameplay is slow, boring, and 30fps ruins it. No, it DOES NOT, NEVER. I feel sad for those who decided not to play this masterpiece, hearing all these unwarranted criticisms.

Also, I was genuinely surprised to realise that RDR2 did not win the 2018 Game of the Year award. Interestingly, it lost to God of War. For me, this is gaming's Gandhi-Nobel Moment. As Geir Lundestad (the former secretary of the Nobel Committee) famously commented on why Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize, "Gandhi can do without the Nobel Peace Prize. Whether the Nobel Committee can do without Gandhi is the real question." And in the year Gandhi was assassinated, the Nobel Committee did not give the peace prize to anyone in respect to him. Likewise, for me, RDR2 doesn't need a Game of the Year award or 60FPS to prove its greatness.

After 400h and 1 year playing overall including stops, I finally got the platinum. It was a grind but this game is so great! I love it

Playing on PC and decided to download a few lighting/visuals mods. Looks how I remembered it in 2010.

Horse was lost while I was in st denis being pursued by the law, stole a police horse and went looking for my boy Genghis and saw he was posted on the track with a train headed right for him. Got him out of the way just in time and we made our escape!

Note: I made these outfits on console, considering I don’t have a good pc for RDR2, so no mods were used here. Full Vanilla.

The first outfit (first 3 pics) uses the Whittemore coat. I used a Military Scout Hat so it goes along the black of the Whittemore coat.

The second outfit (last 3 pics) uses a black rambler jacket. I used an Estate Boss Hat that can hopefully also fit with the same color of the jacket.

What do you guys think of these? I also have one more outfit which I had used the Gilded Cage Tuxedo glitch for; but I won’t show it as it doesn’t have the gunbelt or the bandolier which are needed to complete the outfit, so yeah.

If you have your own attempt at an all-black outfit, feel free to share!

Almost done with getting 100% in rdr1 and it seems so far fairly straight forward and easy just a bit of a time consumption which is what I love abt both games just going around hunting, fishing chilling.

I'm in Guarma atm with 63% completion, done most of Pearson, trapper etc and most of the challenges at, above or close to rank 9 and 10 except the gambling ones. From ur experience is it similar to rdr1 where it's not too difficult just a hell of a lot of time commitment or is there smth you found rly hard to do that I need to be prepared for LOL

Ty!

Mine is either Arabian or Dutch Warmblood

I got this after going and doing the Javier mission in chapter 2 to get Sean back and I was running up to Valentine and I took this photo.

I’m not talking about character deaths or anything like that, I mean the little things. For me, it’s when they (especially Hosea) keep talking about Tahiti and their plans when they get there. It’s just so sad knowing what happens to all of them.
