Red Dead Redemption 2

Just finished the story, and have to say I really enjoyed it. Poorly enough paced, but I’m that’s a hard thing to control in an open world game.

Cool wee thing in the end credits when I recognised voice on Cruel, Cruel World. Didn’t know he done a song for RDR2!

Took a long time for the game to click with me but this is really a fantastic game. I’m just taking it easy with the missions and concentrating on getting all the legendary animals/fish.

Just did the update and it said you have a gift from rockstar, but I didn’t register until too late so didn’t see what I got, does anyone know?

Thanks very much.

Well I finished Chapter 6 and the epilogue.
86.7% complete. All I have left are the collectibles, challenges and legendary animals.
Will probably go for the legendary animals and call it a day.
Then will begin the arsing around, exploration portion of play.

Loved it start to finish.

So I saw someone hanging from a tree outside Saint Denis. When I look down 3 lads wearing corspe paint were standing in front me. I killed before I could react.

Later on I helped a couple not far from the encounter. The husband mentioned the "Night Men".

I haven't anyone like the other 3 since, same guys he was talking about?

Yup. They'll run at you and kill you every time if youre not quick. They pop up in that area at night. Sometimes carrying bodies.

Pity no DLC for this. Would hve loved a couple of extra missions

I finished last week finally. A bit of a grind for me in the end. Too many very long cut scenes. I have zero interest in playing it again.

I returned to God of War and can't believe how good the story is. I'd rate it better than RDR2.

I agree with this completely. Though for me the game was a bit of a grind from the get go, the controls, the pacing, the absolutely horrible gunplay; it all added to the "immersion" supposedly, but for me it took all the fun out of the game and that's primarily why I play games.

In all honesty throughout the course of my playthrough I went from thinking the game was mediocre, to flat out hating everything about it in the end. I only finished it because I had already invested so much time in it, and I actually never bothered with the epilogue.

Playing Days Gone at the moment, and for all its flaws, I think it does a far better job at being a video game than RDR2 ever managed.

Other than valentine and Rhodes?

I meant online similar to GTAV.

restarted this again after initially dropping off it, I reckoned it would be a shame to not finish it considering all the work that's gone into it. I'm glad I gave it a second chance, chipping away at a mission or two an evening. I don't think I'm particularly far, I've just and my next available mission is .

The deliberately slow pace is something that takes getting accustomed to, everything, from shopping to doing chores around the camp, is ponderously drawn out.

I really hated it. The first game is probably my favourite game but I just found the majority of 2 tedious and I gained very little from finishing it.

I don't think I'll be getting into any of the crafting etc unless it becomes absolutely needed.

Also - where do you access your journal? I keep getting a notification saying that your journal has been updated, but I cant find any way to access it?
