Red Dead Redemption 2 Should Bring Back the Series' Western Minigames

Red Dead Redemption 2 Should Bring Back the Series' Western Minigames

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game. And when I say it's large I don't think you understand, it's like, really big. The game has dedicated dialogue and animations for every individual character in your caravan. It has expertly intuitive wildlife (except for those rabbits that love running under your horse). And it even makes you manage your cleanliness and wei

I'm used to video games allowing me, or rather my character, a greater level of physical prowess than I actually possess. Red Dead Redemption 2 , Rdradventure.Com however, does a good job of making me feel like an uncoordinated loser ag

This particular gripe only works if you've been playing Arthur Morgan as an honorable criminal. For the most part, townsfolk will recognize your good deeds as Morgan if you've been chivalrous around t

There's a certain area of the Bayou that gets a bit more, well, odd. It has some NPCs that seem to only speak nonsense, and overall it's the very definition of a "backwater" town. But, the biggest attraction in this area is one fine banjo pla

This one doesn't quite fit into the category of funny bugs, but it is an important one to mention . There's a mission pretty early on in the game called "Polite Society, Valentine Style". When doing the mission, there are a few different areas where you can fail, and the obvious thing to do would be to select the Retry Checkpoint option when this happ

Like I said in the last entry, Red Dead' s got some supernatural flair. None are more in-depth than RDR1 's Undead Nightmare . It was a standalone expansion to the original game that added in entire modes, campaigns, and cosmetics. And RDR1 was already packed with content on rele

But once you do, strut on up to the mask on the back wall, and pull it down. Arthur'll be sporting a fancy little cat skull now. Granted, it clips through here and thee, but still a great hidden acces

The smallest of pits and falls (by video game standards) have left my character either badly wounded or biting the dust. I'm telling you, it's ridiculous. I'm not completely irate over this happening though. I've laughed more than a few times after a short trip managed to cut down Arthur Morgan in his pr

There was an odd period of games back around the late 2000s where the open world genre really flourished, but there was no swimming allowed. What I mean is these games would showcase these huge sprawling landmasses, but your character would melt as soon as it touched the wa

Red Dead Redemption excelled at bringing players into a vast, Western open-world; even eight years after its release, it's still one of my favorite game worlds to this day. Yet, what I also adored about the game is the fact that it proved to be just as exceptional in offering players smaller details to enjoy as much the larger ones, and a big portion of that (to me) comes from its collection of Western minigames.

But what I don't dig, however, is how horribly unlucky he seems to be. This musician was born with a lot of problems, but seems to be dealing with them on his terms. There are actually a fair amount of what society would consider "social outcasts" spread throughout the game wo

Even if Red Dead doesn't have the same sort of brand recognition and widespread appeal as GTA , there's no denying that gamers are hungry for the open world western. It's been eight years since Red Dead Redemption released and fans have been begging for another entry in the series for what seems like an eternity at this point. Plus, this will be the first native console game Rockstar has developed this generation so the Rockstar thirst is real. If the week one sales for Red Dead Redemption do even half of what Grand Theft Auto V did when it made over one billion dollars within its first week of release, then it'd still be an absolute beast to have to contend against in any subsequent weeks after launch.

Of course how Rockstar got all this detail has been the topic of plenty of controversies. But, it's not just about the detail, but also the size. The finished map for RDR2 encompasses three different states. And when you spread that much detail over that large of a landmass, there's plenty for players to miss. You can't blame me for not wanting to explore every hill and forest I come across, can you? Well luckily, the internet exists. And there are entire channels and communities dedicated to finding every last secret, easter egg, and homage in any one game. There have been literally hundreds of secrets found within Rockstars newest magnum opus. And I think it's safe to say, there are probably a lot more that haven't been discovered yet. But, while I'm here, I'd like to do my part. So this is all about Red Dead Redemption 2 : 30 Hidden Things Casual Fans Still Haven’t F

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was finally revealed last week to the surprise of absolutely no one. Black Ops has arguably become the most popular sub-franchise within the Call of Duty series so to see another sequel that continues that story isn't shocking in the slightest. There was one noticeable difference when it comes to Call of Duty this year: the release date.600
