30 Things Everyone Completely Missed In Red Dead Redemption 2

For starters, Red Dead Redemption II is derivative. Everything it does has been done before. Even its story is a thematic retread of the first game from start to finish, just with a different cast. Realism? Who cares about realism when it makes playing a game less fun! Online? What Online? If you’re the type who disregards any and all criticism because you like something, this list may not be for you. Or maybe it is precisely for you. Part of loving a work of art is understanding where its faults lie so to better understand its streng


However, the bandana isn't an item that comes without consequence. For instance, lawmen don't particularly react well to seeing a masked stranger, whether you've done anything wrong or not. And, wearing a bandana, committing a crime, and coming into town in the same outfit minus the bandana isn't going to do much for you. After all, the NPC's in this game aren't idiots. Make sure you've got an entirely different outfit for your criminal activities, and you'll find the lasting consequences much less sev


If you're like me and like to do everything in your power to make the game as immersive as possible, then you'd probably be intrigued by the HUD removal options. Removing your map is pretty easy (and explained in a tutorial), but what they don't mention is that you can download the Red Dead Redemption 2 Missions Dead Redemption 2 Companion App and get all the pertinent in-game information right on whatever device you want in real-time. This way, you can have the unimpeded immersion experience that you want, without sacrificing the potentially life-saving information that the HUD provi


I don't know if it's on purpose or a happy accident, but the horse skinning skip is back. In the original Red Dead Redemptio n with our boy John Marston, there was a simple trick. The animation for skinning an animal was actually shorter back then but people were still impati


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


Things weren't as bad as I thought they would be. Sure, I got a bounty on my head, but I was able to pay it off lickety-split. The honor system works a little strangely in Red Dead Redemption 2 . You could perform the worst of human atrocities on a poor little town, but if you throw a little money their way, everyone will forget about


Rockstar isn't shy about including supernatural creatures in their games. Past works have included aliens, zombies, Bigfoot, and now even vampires. This secret is a bit later in the game once you've unlocked the Saint-Denis locat


Love for Red Dead Redemption 2 has been going strong since the game's release. If you've played the game yourself, you'll know that all of this love is deserved. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an exemplary model of an open-world game. The vistas are gorgeous, and the individually rendered parts of your character can hypnotize you. Seriously, I had a tragic horse accident because I was so busy staring at how my coat and saddlebags jostled as we galloped al


Which allowed Rockstar to pull the same stunt get again with Red Dead Redemption II. The back of the box even explicitly states to keep an eye out for the online component. This is not done in good will either. It likely does need further development time, but this is just as much a means of advertising RDR2 twof


This NPC is around the top of New Hanover and seems to have literally hollowed out a tree for himself. Don't ask me how. I have no idea. But, Arthur can converse with him and that's where we find out he's dubbed himself the so-called "King of the Forest". A bit narcissistic if you ask


I'm quite proud to say I discovered this next anomaly on my own. It was fairly early on in the game. I was heading back to camp from Valentine on the main road when I discovered a red trail leading up to a bridge. There you can start the serial destroyer's quest, which is quite intense. He leaves clues using human bodies. If you figure out the clues you'll get to see a pretty amazing discovery. I won't spoil who it is though, but it's worth


It almost seems obvious that Micah would end up being the gang’s rat in hindsight. He spends all his time with Dutch, constantly attracts lawmen, and accuses Arthur of being the real traitor. It’s quite obvious that the audience should be skeptical of Micah which Rockstar knew and remedied with Mo


I've lost count of how many times my life has been saved by Dead Eye. The only problem being, if you get into repeated engagements that require Dead Eye, you're going to run out of charge pretty quic


If you're hunting all of the points of interest, first of all, are you crazy? Secondly, this next one is difficult to find. They're located in Big Valley, west of the Owanjila Dam standing in a circle. What is, you ask? Well, the trees of cou
