«I know this isn’t much of a source, but I do actually remember when this was posted. I lurk on the sub a lot, and I pretty clearly remember this getting posted and a lot of people shitting on it because it sounded ridiculous. This was well before the initial announcement and might have been a similar time to when the map leaked? But I do very clearly remember reading this post, being weirded out by the mare birthing minigame, being disappointed (and a bit put off) by the «development hell» claim, and being confused by what «vertical slice» meant.»

The leak, which came from «u/reddeadinsider» at the time, accurately predicted the name of the protagonist long before it was publicly revealed through the game’s second trailer over a year afterward : «You play a gang leader named Arthur.» I think the most interesting thing about reading accurate leaks from years before release is that you get to see all the things they changed in between now and then, and there are a few details in here that I don’t recall seeing them make it into the final game.

After Arthur Morgan either dies of tuberculosis or gets shot/stabbed by Micah Bell, depending on your ending, you swap to playing as John Marston with his family; or, as the leaker puts it, «jon marsten.» As the poster originally described at the time:

Red Dead Redemption 2 Tips Dead Redemption 2 forever changed the gaming landscape, and those changes will be long-reaching and will reverberate in this industry for years. So what is it that makes Red Dead 2 so exceptional? Is it the scope? Is it the characters? Is it the graphics? Is it the truly engrossing tale of a wild west posse on a scary downward spiral? Yes to all those things. It is a perfect storm of gaming, where every element that factors in helps make it even more powerful. With that being said, it is safe to say RDR2 has forever changed gaming, and here are ten things that prove that to be t

He even calls it a paradise on earth—so what happens when you finally make it over the border? Irish up and leaves back to the US never to be seen again. It’s a weird move considering his existence in the States is beyond miserable, plus the trip has been one arduous and dangerous ride—yet for no specific reason, he heads back ag

No, we’re not talking about a great DJ Snake tune (as awesome as it is). A big part of battle royale is to remain unseen for as long as possible. Catching your enemy by surprise will give you an advantage, making your odds far better. The best way to achieve this is to crouch as often as you can . Making yourself a smaller target, while also reducing the sound you make as you move, will be invalua

The two brothers who allow themselves to be physically abused to win the affection of a woman they both love is a perfect example, especially in how the last mission in their story plays out. Perfection. Or what about the people who missed the vampire in Saint De

Rockstar’s latest update for RDR2 ‘s battle royale mode is «Gun Rush,» which, as the name suggests, introduces guns, falling more in line with classic BR gameplay. Thus far, the reaction has been mixed as the auto-lock targeting system is not particularly well suited to this style of game. Matches often come down to «who saw who, first,» rather than skill. That said, whatever your preference is, before jumping online it is worth your time to read up on some useful tips to help you be the last cowboy stand

There were things I was discovering in the epilogue I never experienced in the game itself. The fishing and hunting is so deep and varied, it could be its own game and one that would warrant a full price purchase. So the fact that those tasks are optional here tells you just how perfect and realized the old west is in this g

After running endless chores, Marston is able to gain enough equipment and aid to take the fight to Fort Mercer. By the time you arrive, one of Marston’s allies—the clearly insane Seth—has already made his way inside and is humoring the outlaw gangs ins

Much like the popular Hunger Games series, players in «Gun Rush» will often find the best weapons are placed in the middle of the map . Some players, especially those new to BR games, may want to take their time and allow other players to kill each other off. However, if you truly want an advantage, sticking to the outskirts will leave you lacking in decent weapons for the final battle. Instead, rushing to the center right away can give you a one-up on the competition early

» Despite his ability to commit great acts of violence, Arthur has his own moral code and doesn’t believe in what he deems as unnecessary killing, especially if it endangers himself or those he cares about, » Wiki Fandom explains . » Dutch also raised Arthur to believe that revenge is a fruitless endeavor. It seems Arthur strictly believes that violence should be cold, necessary and without feeling, never out of personal enjoyment or without rea
