25 Ridiculous Things Red Dead Redemption 2 Actually Lets Players Do

As much as I enjoyed Poker, the amusing wits of strength in Arm Wrestling, and the surprising layers of strategy in Liar's Dice, no minigame in Red Dead Redemption brought out a sense of tension in me more than Five Finger Fillet, where players had to time their button presses to a series of rapid prompts by placing a knife between the spaces on their spread out fingers. Between the grisly image of seeing John's hand spread out on a table stained with the blood of past Finger Fillet losers and the fast-paced nature of its gameplay, Five Finger Fillet felt like the perfect mix of a minigame that truly embodied the gritty, Western world of Red Dead , while also bringing a unique bit of gameplay that had me terrified to look at a knife the same way again.


Heading further into the overgrown area, you’ll find a small white outhouse. Braithwaite’s Secret is located inside this outhouse, but be warned, as armed guards patrol the area and will fire on you without hesitat


In the side mission ( Oh, Brother ), you will have to help two twin brothers win over a woman, named Helen, that they are both fighting over. Over a series of mini-missions, you will have to carry out obscene games and tasks in order to help both twins prove their toughness. Ultimately, you will come to the end of a small tale about two brothers fighting over a woman, and whilst bizarre it’s well worth finish


This quest ends up taking you up to the snowy north. I won't spoil what happens, but it's a pretty ridiculous story with over-the-top dramatic moments. I mean, robots during the time of cowboys? What's next, cowboys fighting ali


Although Kieran does choose to stay, the very prospect of Arthur letting him go at all is ridiculous. Not only is Arthur potentially putting an envoy of Dutch’s worse enemy back in the open, Kieran could have very easily ran back to Colm to rat out Horseshoe Overlook. Arthur’s brief kindness was bred from a stupidity he shouldn’t poss


Who doesn’t love horse riding? Horse riding in the first game was an absolute treasure. There was a true joy to exploring the Wild West on horseback as John Marston and that extends to Arthur Morgan as well. For the most part. While horse riding is still generally quite fun, the new realism based mechanics can make it a bit of a ch


This next item on our list is located in Grizzlies East, New Hanover. Located north of the Mysterious Hill Home and East of Donner Falls, you will find a mysterious narrow path that leads to a hidden cave entrance. When you enter the cave, be warned that there are several creepy statues of humanoid-looking beings standing in a circle. Who put these statues here? And for what purpose? Is this the work of a cult? Who know

Card games like Poker and Blackjack have obviously been a staple many times over in past open world games--including Rockstar's own Grand Theft Auto games-- and yet Red Dead 's approach not only felt most appropriate to its setting and Western theme, but it incorporated so many more wrinkles to the typical game of cards than we might expect. Aside from the standard rules of Poker of trying to come out with the best hand (and the highest pot) at the end of the game, players also could look for tells among the other opponents on the table and see if they could come out ahead and gain an advantage. Even better was the fact that if you or another player were caught cheating in a game, the result would end up in a bloody gunfight for playing dirty.

I typically avoid most forms of card games in a lot of open world games, but the way that Red Dead integrated these classic card games felt tried and true to its Western atmosphere and added so much more to my enjoyment of the world that Rockstar built. Heck; Red Dead 's Poker game more or less ended up teaching me the basics of the game in real life, at the time that I was playing it.


Except the very premise of this opening makes absolutely no sense. Dialogue strongly suggests that the main characters are fleeing the snowstorm, but their trajectory on the mountain has them going up it rather than down. Naturally, going up a mountain during a snowstorm will only result in heavier winds. What was Dutch think


Not far from base camp in Chapter 2, you’ll run into a woman named Deborah MacGuiness - a shunned paleontologist whose theories have been rejected by the leading universities. MacGuiness explains to Arthur her ideas and career gathering dinosaur bo


Realism is not always for the best. While there is certainly an immersive element to watching Arthur interact with his world as realistically as possible, there is quite a tedium as well. Specifically through the concept of gun maintenance. Don’t get too comfortable since any time you fire your gun you’re running the risk of throttling its accuracy with r


Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the year. I shouldn't have to state why this is the case to anyone who has played it, but just in case you haven't, let me fill you in. The game... is... awesome! The story is a moving tale about one of the last few bands of outlaws left in the West. They are a close-knit group of people, more of a family than a gang, but you have to watch as the ties that bind them slowly unravel. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 guide Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, we more or less know that the Van der Linde gang will fall apart , but that makes it no less tragic when it happ
