I am about to reveal to you why Red Dead Redemption 2 is the absolute greatest game of all time. Not of 2018, not of the decade, but of all time. Are you ready for this? Alright, here it comes. Brace yourselves. In this game, you can pat/pet dogs. Any game that includes beautiful puppers but does not let you make direct contact with the little guys is not worth your time. But any game that allows you to pet and play with those dogs immediately wins my vote for best game e

Though I love games that give players the ability to choose their own path, very few games truly nail the balance between good and bad choices. Sometimes the options are incredibly obvious as to which way they lean and sometimes they lead you in completely unpredictable directions. In Red Dead , the honor system was created in a way that makes it incredibly subjective and driven by immediate situations rather than a standard and universal law of morality. Consider the consequences of each action before making a decision. Sometimes ending someone’s life might actually be the honorable decis

Exactly what the potion does is STILL unclear; it may be the case that it does absolutely nothing at all, but with so many Easter Eggs scattered throughout the game, we can't imagine developers would let this one slide without ANY effec

Arthur gets captured by the O'Driscolls and has to fight his way out. Was there any way they could have prepared better? Probably not. What they should have done was ignored Micah's suggestion that they meet and just not fall for the trap in the first pl

Smell is truly vital within this game. A strong scent coming off of your character can have bad side effects if left unchecked. If your character goes hunting without masking their scent, their prey might be able to catch a whiff of them which will alert them of your presence and provide them the opportunity to esc

In a massive (and occasionally daunting) open-world game made by hundreds of people over thousands and thousands of work hours, I sometimes nestle into one or two areas or goals to make the game feel more manageable. It usually starts out as focus on the story and side quests that interest me; from there, maybe I focus on filling out the map or tracking down secrets. By the end of my time with a game on that scale, one of those tasks triumphs over the others and becomes my favorite element in the game.

Another secret from the urban jungle of Saint-Denis, this one is a huge homage to the horror classic Nosferatu . You'll need to follow a trail of graffiti that's been scrawled by the vampire. We won't ruin the quest for you, but if you want to start it, the first graffiti can be found across the road from the big saloon in the northeast of the city. The trail will lead you all over the city, and you'll have to end this monster's existence, but the payoff is well worth

When the main chapters of Red Dead Redemption 2 strategy Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.

These next two maps must be found on hermits. The Torn Treasure Map requires you to shoot the hermit who holds it in order to acquire it.

If you're bored of the various cowboy hats on offer and want something a bit more different, then get thee to th1e Old Tomb, slightly northwest of Annesburg, just across the river from the mining town. Head down inside, and you'll find the Viking Hatchet, which still makes a fearsome weapon, 1000 years after it was forged. In the side rooms, there's the incredible Viking Helmet, and hidden behind some skulls, an ancient Viking comb, which can fulfill a camp request with pana

If you're yet to have the displeasure of meeting the Night Folk, you're in for a treat when you do. By treat, we mean a bunch of weapon-wielding maniacs charging at you. Ride around the Bayou NWA area, and you'll find a victim hanging from a tree. Take a closer look at the body, or shoot it down, and a bunch of these mutant attackers will come charging out of the woods. They're skilled with their machetes, so be careful, and take them out quickly. Read the note on the victim and you'll unlock a side miss
