Rockstar sure has been hard at work building the online for their infinitely huge RPG, Red Dead Redemption 2 . The game had a massively successful launch, to no one’s surprise. The standard pattern for them is to then use that profit and popularity to build their games even larger so people will stick with it for years to come. I mean just look at GTA5 . That game released originally in 2013, and yet it still has a bustling online ecosys
Remember the good old days? When the only way to figure out how to maneuver one’s way through a game was through good old fashioned trial and error? When you had to play a game for literal hours without advancing in the plot because you got stuck on some silly level and then when you asked your friends about said difficult part the next school day, you found out that it was actually incredibly e
On that note, this also means you should avoid buying upgrades as much as possible. This is a bit more problematic since upgrading your weapons will actively make the game a smoother experience, but this is a luxury we can’t afford. Literally. You’re better off saving your money and getting accustomed to the guns as they come. A skilled or talented player won’t need upgrades to play well. Does it eliminate your in-game identity even more so? Most definitely, but that’s just an unfortunate consequence of Rockstar’s online game des
When Arthur is diagnosed with tuberculosis, one of two things can happen – either he wanders the street in a glow and sees a deer, or he wanders in a gray haze and sees a wolf. It makes sense for this to happen at this point in the story, because Arthur is a bad person and has done bad things. But by the end of the game, Arthur is repentant and has numerous discussions about the possibility of a bad man finding redemption. The story desperately wants us to take the path of honor, and it’s totally jarring if you continue to be villainous. This is the Niko Bellic morality problem all over ag
Anyway, the world has extremely grounded details like the competition between gunslingers. And then some pretty out-there detours get thrown in because… why not? Just go with it if you can be one of the lucky ones to uncover all these secr
On the topic of cheat codes, players in Red Dead Redemption 2 may find they’ve learned more recipes in the game then they actually know in real life. By entering the cheat code “Eat of knowledge”, you’ll miraculously learn every recipe the game has to offer. Sure, you still have to gather those ingredients and cook them, but you’ll be transformed into a cowboy equivalent of Julia Childs. Truly the best of both worlds, if we’re combining cuisine and the wild plains. Also, Red Dead might exist solely to teach the people playing it domestic skills like pet ownership and cooking – just say
While in Rhodes, you unlock the ability to sell stolen horses to a horse fence. Do not do this. It is not worth the effort. Why? Because a basic stolen horse will net you maybe $2. If you want to increase the price, you’ll have to significantly bond with the horse, and this may take a few in-game days. And your reward will be a price increase from $2 to $5. Yay. Yes, you can make more money with rarer horses, but that includes both finding and taming them, which could also take a while. In the end, horse selling is a mug’s game and it’s not worth the time or effort invol
Let us take a magical journey on this dark and cold winter night. Back to a time before the internet. Before gamer guides were so easily available. Before the days of walkthroughs, let’s plays, and step by step guides to help gamers through the trickier scenes in well-known ga
The madness for Red Dead Redemption 2 mixed with the incredibly engrossing, unending world of the game makes for a few results – for one thing, some players might be too excited and ambitious to race ahead of other players that they miss some details. And for another, well… just take good care of the horse. That’ll catch up in a big way if you try any shortcuts th

If you can manage to catch a few Steelhead Trouts, you’ll be able to cash in a bigger profit than you would just be leisurely fishing. Of course, the fish’s notoriety does mean you’ll likely be competing with some players so there is still a benefit to fishing elsewhere. If you can get a quiet spot, though, the Steelhead Trouts will be kind to
