Red Dead Redemption 2

[strung out]

I think Gavin's friend is the best/most heartbreaking Easter Egg I've seen so far (not playing myself, just watching the wife play)

 

[Voley]

Also, anyone else met the escaped prisoner looking for help yet? 'This side quest looks interesting,' I thought as I accidentally shot him in the face.

I've met him again! This time he asked me to shoot his leg-irons off. Did it, all good so far, was waiting for him to say thanks / reward me somehow / whatever when I accidentally left my gun aimed at him and he ran off in teror.

I'm doomed to be a total bastard to this bloke no matter what.

 

[hendo]

I don't know what to think about the Gavin guy. We keep talking but Arthur seems unable to help. So far, anyway.
I am really enjoying this game, which has so many dimensions and is a bit sad in its way, the disappearance of a world.
I have just mastered dead eye. It's a whole new world of Clint like slaughter, as I have also recently learnt how not to shoot people accidentally. I am wussy though and keep paying off my bounties.
Roll on RDR 2 Online

 

[moon]

I seem to have run out of quests??!! Im still on Chapter 2 as I'm playing about 3 games at the same time..

I'm not sure what to do, I guess if I wander around talking to people I will get more?

Also which quests are the main storyline? I'm completely lost here as I spent ages in the mountains hunting Elk!! lol Its so beautiful up there I didn't want to leave..
Its like Skyrim with gunslingers..

Hunting Elk

 

[Voley]

My wussy liberal ginseng-collecting bloke has finally got the hang of this gunslinger thing.

He's gone from one extreme to the other though. Started off robbing a bunch of stagecoaches, then tried to rob the fence he sold them to, that went a bit wrong so he shot him in the face then he thought he'd teach him a lesson by going out the back and shooting all his cows. By the time the law showed up he'd killed all his sheep too.

It was like Clint in Unforgiven but for no reason whatsoever.

"Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down." And his damn sheep.

How's everyone finding the online game?

 

[hendo]

How's everyone finding the online game?

I played it for an hour or so the other day which I freely confess is too short a time to draw a reasonable conclusion. People kept riding up and shooting me, so I rode around shooting them. Then I went back to the story version.

That’s basically my experience too, not going to bother unless I’m on with people I know...

Polygon has a good piece about the online RDR2

 

[D'wards]

Apparently there's a certain shack you can go in where poor Arthur gets raped

And zombie's turn up occasionally, though I've never seen them

 

[Ranu]

Yeah the rape thing is insinuated.

They're not really zombies, more some kind of voodoo thing.

 

[tommers]

Zombies are a voodoo thing.

I've done this again.

I'm only on Chapter 3. I'm taking it really slow and absolutely loving it. Have spent entire days hunting a legendary beaver.

[Voley]

Story of my fucking life, mate.

 

[Voley]

For reasons I still can't properly explain I've just climbed to the top of the massive mountain near Strawberry. It took so long I couldn't be arsed to ride back down so jumped off.

Spoiler: Weirdness near the top

There's the bones of a giant up there. No idea wtf that's meant to be about

Lost me horse because of this. And my legendary beaver pelt.

 

[Voley]

Also the other escaped convict guy (the one tied to the back of a horse) doesnt fare too well with me either. Tried to free him, shot his captors, then accidentally shot him and his horse. Whoops.

Your entire life is going to disappear.

 

[neonwilderness]

Your entire life is going to disappear.

I've managed to be fairly restrained with it so far

 

[Voley]

Me and the escaped convict are finally getting on. Bumped into him again - his second jailbreak that I know of - and this time I managed to not shoot him. He's tipped me off to a house to rob. We're friends again after the slight unpleasantness of killing him about 3 times previously.

 

[neonwilderness]

This is the first game that’s properly drawn me in for quite a while, probably since the original or Fallout 3.

I’m taking my time with the main plot though, I’m quite enjoying just wandering about doing the side missions. I’ve just had a fist fight with a load of toffs in a gallery in Saint Dennis

 

[Chilli.s]

37.2 % installed, and about an hour to go I recon.

So excited!

Yep, me too, I just like the exploring best and this does that really well.

Oh bollocks, just paid that for a slightly used one a few days ago.

Can I just ride about in the wilderness occasionally picking flowers? I quite like the idea of that. Maybe seeing some nice mountains or something.

Yes, you could be the flower cowboy.

Sounds amazing. I'm suddenly interested. The older I get the more I appreciate a nice bit of peace and quiet.
