The issue with the NPCs is that they act as witnesses and if they manage to get far enough away from Arthur after committing a crime or shooting someone, there will be a bounty on his head. This is easy enough to avoid, unless, of course, one of those dastardly O’Driscoll boys calls Arthur out in pub

GTA V is still no slouch either, thanks to its re-release on modern consoles, but the lighting, character models, and animation of RDR2 are miles ahead of GTA V’ s , making one wonder just how far the developer can push their Rage engine. Open world games used to look quaint but had the excuse of presenting large environments. RDR2 is one of the best looking games yet made, per

It’s like a broken record that echos throughout the plains of West Elizabeth. Perhaps in a different life, Dutch could have finally gotten the funding he feels he so rightfully deserved. Too bad GoFundMe wasn’t around in the Old W

If you’re that final person on Earth who’s never played Skyrim , then consider this a formal recommendation. In this humble writer’s opinion, Skyrim is not over-hyped. At all. It’s absolutely awe-inspiring; a game that completely changed my perception of games and the worlds within. Sure, it’s quite a few years old now, and will occasionally show its age. But if you’re really willing to delve deep into the game , deep into the world, it will be a truly rewarding experience that has some severe staying po

There are a TON of missions to undertake in Red Dead Redemption 2 Xbox One Dead Redemption 2 . The main story missions alone will take awhile to get through and then there are countless side missions and challenges to complete. Some of these missions are more memorable than others, which leads us to this next hilarious m

Yet another Playstation exclusive, Last of Us Parts 1 and 2 are prime examples of a videogame about very violent protagonists who, despite their deep convictions, are morally flawed and commit some shockingly vile acts. Plus, Joel Miller, the protagonist of Part 1 , is from Texas, so his accent isn’t that far from Arthur Morgan’s. The Last of Us games are very narratively-driven, incredibly violent, and have a lot of shooting and stealth mechanics that would feel a little familiar to the Red Dead Redemption 2 player. It’s not open-world (well, mostly not in the case of Part 2 ), but both games consist of an incredible narrative on par with RD

The main way for Arthur Morgan to obtain the Bolt-Action Rifle is during the mission, “Preaching Forgiveness as He Went.” You can also purchase the gun at weapon shops after this mission if you lose it some

Micah’s Revolver is actually a comparable alternative to the Double-Action Revolver with some personalization courtesy of its previous owner. This one edges out the regular Double-Action just based on its great aesthetic appeal plus its story-releva

If there’s one thing players learn throughout their Red Dead Redemption 2 adventure, it’s that Dutch has a plan . In fact, he always has a plan. It becomes his defacto catchphrase and Arthur can expect him to slip it into each and every possible conversation he

There are many things you won’t be able to craft right out of the gate, even if you have the necessary ingredients. There are many crafting recipes that Arthur just doesn’t know off the top of his head. Recipes are found throughout the world or are tied to story progr

The first thing to note is that you can’t craft anything on the fly. To start crafting, you’ll first need to rest (Arthur will crouch on the ground when you stop moving and hold the Triangle—or Y—button). Doing so gives you the options Set Up Camp, Craft, and Leave. Depending on what you want to craft, you’ll either need to set up a camp first or hop straight into the basic crafting m

Snipers are hit and miss in Red Dead Redemption 2 (pun absolutely intended). Good ones are hard to come by and even then, their usability requires very specific circumstances. You certainly don’t want to get caught in a close-quarters standoff with one. That said, as far as sheer power goes, the Carcano Rifle can’t be beaten. It is incredibly accurate and has enough force to take down anything in the g

To start off this list with a resounding: “Well… duh”, I’ll mention the original Red Dead Redemption . While it’s not all that easy to get a hold of anymore since it’s a last-generation game, it is worth the effort. Many gameplay systems will feel outdated as compared to its sequel, but Red Dead Redemption is chronologically a sequel to Red Dead Redemption 2 , so if you’re heavily invested in the story, it’s definitely deserving of a playthro

Once the epilogue, side missions, treasure hunts, challenges, and bandit hideouts are all cleared out (no small accomplishment, mind you) there’s not much to keep the RDR 2 player occupied in the single player game. You can rob places, get into shootouts, and hunt animals, but without the challenges, side missions, or unpurchased guns, there’s not much of a goal behind any of t
