Rockstar Games have a reputation for producing some of the best video games ever - and Red Dead Redemption is the jewel in the Rockstar crown. Both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 are known for their heartrending storylines and charismatic characters - but in true Rockstar style, they don’t scrimp on the funnies, eit
Like Van Horn, Rhodes is another town that time has passed by. But unlike Van Horn, Rhodes still has some semblance of civility and cleanliness. Rhodes stands out from other towns of the game owing to its dusty red streets, lending it a very memorable atmosphere and physical
With a mixture of masterful storytelling , engaging themes, and sardonic wit, the Red Dead Redemption series has proven itself to be a timeless staple in gaming. The games have a unique style to them that makes them endlessly replayable and enjoyable, with the first game sporting a dark sense of humor, and the second game bringing a more soulful touch to the outlaw narrat
On the northwest end of Braithwaite Manor , there is a small square on the map, which is a burned-down house. In the house, there is a gold bar sitting on the ground. The bar is in the northeast corner of the house.
Van Horn is easily one of the most unique locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 , even if spending time in it makes one feel dirty. Amongst all the towns, villages, and cities in Red Dead 2 , Van Horn is arguably the most decre
That said, it is absolutely breathtaking on first glimpse. Watching citizens go about their business is utterly magnetic, and the muddy streets make for a stellar showcase in technicality, detail, and phys
He gets an opportunity to be candid with a man who can relate to him, who understands that with the kinds of lives they both had and that the past is both meaningless and ultimately defining . John sums up the events of RDR2 quickly and easily, and Ricketts just laughs, because what else is there to do but laugh about it
It doesn't get much better, or more unique, than Saint Denis. Red Dead Redemption 2 is primarily concerned with the approach of modernization and civilization, and Saint Denis is its physical embodiment. It's by far the largest city in the game, its streets packed with wagons, pedestrians, and hor
Only Lucy isn’t a damsel in distress - she’s a horse. Lucy’s captor isn’t exactly shy in poking fun at John’s romantic notions of rescue, and John is suitably embarrassed. A lot more embarrassed, in fact, than Jeb, who has very little shame over the whole aff
Location: Kamassa River, north of Elysian Pool
Another gold bar can be found south of Annesburg once players find the Scetched Map. The map is hidden under the fireplace inside the red cottage, just to the east of the "N" in Roanoke Ridge. The gold bar can be found near the "R" in Kamassa River, north of the Elysian Pool. Players will have to inspect the rocks north of the small tree on the cliffside to find it.
While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments - both Arthur and John have quickfire wit - it’s the 'Stranger' missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them - and Red Dead Redemption 2 crafting Dead pulls them off perfec
As John Marston explores the plains of America, he too can stumble upon Nigel, who can now be located in Blackwater, Tall Trees, MacFarlane's Ranch, and east of Armadillo in the Epilogue . Nigel is in notable disarray, and his outfit is the same as it was 8 years prior, but in tatters and covered in dirt and sweat. His mustache is overly grown and unkempt, and the dark rings around his eyes indicate a man who hasn't bathed or slept in his quest to find his frie
It's an epic scene, where nearly the entire gang rides out and watches the train roll through snow-covered hills and valleys. The score is incredible, with electric guitar riffs and fast-paced drumbeats playing in the background. Even though the robbery starts out botched, players can't help but get hyped over what they're about to do. It's a fantastic crescendo to get players really hooked in the game from the very st
While dying on a hill facing the sunrise, Arthur lays it all out for Dutch: how he was deceived, how John was the only winner in this situation, and how he truly gave Dutch all he had. And for the first time, Dutch seems to really see him and hear him, as he quietly listens with an intense gaze. This scene is cemented as a truly poetic moment in gaming, since while Arthur always deserved better, he does, in the end, get the death he wanted: with his loved ones safe, while he faces the
What seems like it’s going to be just-another-brawl turns out to be the best night you’ll have in your whole Red Dead experience. From bar fights to line dancing to deep conversations about life and love, it’s one of the warmest, funniest scenes you’ll play in a video g
