Mr_Danger Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 My happy place will always be a hard save prior to the Lenny mission in Chapter 2. The world filled with promise and not too far from my happy place in the woods North of Strawberry. Plus that tit Micah is nowhere to be seen.

StrongStyle Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This game is a masterpiece. I held the first one in such high esteem that it took me a while to get going with RDR2, but Rockstar excelled themselves here with possibly the most rewarding, detailed and immersive video game experience I've ever had. I have even taken to turning the game on and going for a ride just to chill out (usually southeast for maximum nostalgia, though it was quite a shock to see that Armadillo is plague-ridden in 1899). The intuitive music that the game plays as you explore will never get old and I've still got a fuckton of content to discover. Top marks, all the stars and snowflakes. I'll be playing this for years to come. Regarding the story: As kids we used to regularly speculate about who would play Solid Snake in a film of "Metal Gear Solid". Nowadays, it would break my heart to see a film made of Red Dead Redemption as no film or television series would be able to live up to the immense characterisation at work here. I was dreading the idea of NOT playing as John Marston when the game came out as I love him like a brother - but I think I like Arthur Morgan even more now. That Southern drawl sounds like caramel to me now and I unashamedly welled up about eight times in the lead up to the conclusion, particularly when he says farewell to Tilly and called her 'sweetheart' in what was a moment that made everyone go "fuck, Arthur - you are just the best".  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Hamptons Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The level of detail in this game still surprises me.. I helped a guy out a few weeks ago and had to take him to a doctor in Saint Denis.. He had to have his arm amputated in the end.. Pretty brutal to watch! Fast forward to this morning when I was walking around Saint Denis and saw a guy being hanged, ended up watching it and it wasn't till afterword I noticed he only had one arm... Arthur then said that he had helped the guy out a while ago.. Amazing detail!! I love this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2019 I posse-ed up with a couple of my friends last night for the first time, man what a laugh. A good few hours of pissing about, doing some missions, exploring New Austin. My command of 'right let's sneak up on these fools' was often ruined by one of my friend's insistence to charge in on his horse like a madman.

W35ty Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 After doing chours on the ranch it was a great moment when you pull the suitcase out from under the bed and gear up again. I felt like the Terminator when walking into the other ranch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W35ty Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I had a choice to go to Sadie or Abigail but as soon as the music kicked in i saw 2 wolves playing and one had a perfect pelt so i killed it and the music stopped so i missed another riding track.

W35ty Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I need to find a couple of hours and go exploring again. There are videos on instagram popping up with strange buildings and stuff people are finding in the middle of nowhere. I've walked around the run down fort twice and i've seen that there is a trap door there so you can go under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2019 It’s such an incredible game - the wife has played most of it, although I’ve done a lot of hinting and stepping in to do some of the shooting and lassoing, because it’s more my thing. We just finished the epilogues, and I’ve been in bits on numerous occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
