Red Dead Redemption 2

Lululul. Dayum homie ur awesome :joy::joy:🖒. Take away all of that RL success, and you’ve got me. Shit, I’m a loser who just plays a lot of video games :expressionless::expressionless:

Finally completed the Red Dead Redemption 2 story on Friday having played it on-off at a leisurely pace since release day.

Simply put, the Redemption series as a whole has been the most meticulously crafted, unique and beautifully executed story game experience I’ve ever seen in my time with interactive entertainment.

Would you say it’s worth grinding through the story then? I’m finding it so difficult to get gold on the missions

I rarely got gold, didn’t replay them either. I may go back to it one day. But going through the story and side missions was good enough for now. Still must have out 60 or more hours into it.

I never cared for completing missions ‘perfectly’ so to speak. Never saw any of the story missions as a grind either.

Yes, play the story. Whether that’s one hour a week or ten this game isn’t something to rush.

Once you reach Saint Denis, the touch paper is well and truly lit. The missions become all kinds of varied. Every one of the nay sayers I’ve spoken to about the game were gripped by that point.

The writing, character development and soundtrack are the best I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely made that scene too.

What scene is that?

Its in Chapter 5. After you escape Guarma you return to the USA. Once you hit land you ride a horse back to Shady Belle, that’s when the song plays.

Spoiler alert

Big change for you on this it seems, Jakey. I say this because I was exactly the same.

I loved RDR1 and tried RDR2 not long after its release and hated it (having to feed my horse a fucking carrot to keep it going and shit like that) so I only ended actually playing the game about 3 years ago and finally came to love it.

Yeah, don’t think I’ve ever had a bigger 180 on a game.

I haven’t played this game.

Ahh man. This game really is one of the enduring works of art in this space and a mood of its own. Outstanding storytelling. Unshaken is an iconic part of a great soundtrack.
