The thing about guarma for me was after barely escaping the pinkertons at st Denis we were thrust into a world that was worse a miserable slave colony controlled by a militia and all our guns and money were gone.

Finally finished it, found the game a wee bit of a slog at the end

after you become John

Did anyone else think

we were gonna really find out what happened at Blackwater before the game ended? I really thought that as you were close to finding the rat, we'd go back in time and see what really happened at Blackwater

Would have been better than getting sent to

After you clear the epilogue, is there any point really continuing the game?

Like I've not even gone further south west into the map down closer to Mexico and I dont see any reason too.

I know theres some

dinosaur bones

down in that region but is there any missions or bounties down there?

I'm at about a 89.4% completion at the moment and I dont know if I have it in me to do the 100%.

Finished it last night. Dragged towards the end. Actually liked the Marsten stuff, but that on top of the 6 previous chapters... i dunno... I could have just done without chapter 5 tbh. It really added very little to the story , only an opportunity to shoe-horn in a song and a ride back to the camp ala RDR1 into mexico.

Sad Professor

There’s 2 gang hideouts in New Austin. And 2 bounties - they are in Tumbleweed after the chance encounter. Also a few other chance encounters in Armadillo. That’s about it in that area really.

Yup

was very disappointing there wasn't a mission back there.

I reckon there was probably a cut mission in which

the gang tried to recover the money from Blackwater. We know about 5 hours worth of content was cut late in development. How the money ends up in Micah's possession at the end isn't really clear. However, I doubt there was ever any plans to show us the Blackwater ferry heist given that Arthur wasn't present for it. It also would have revealed Dutch's true nature, which the game carefully leaves ambiguous even at the end.

The last mission

where you find Dutch and Micah and make off with about 20k

is a decent ending but you dont need all that cash, if you could spend it on improvements to the ranch maybe it would be worth while but all I've been using it for is to pay off bountys going on killing sprees.

At that kind of % I could nearly guarantee you'd spend at least 40-50 more hours getting to 100%.

Think I've about 150 hours on the clock and only 10 of those would be for the online portion of the game. The biggest annoyance for 100% were some of the challenges, you could have done the requirements already from normal play but they don't count for the challenge unless its unlocked, so you end up roaming the map collecting the herbs again.

Remember when Abigail had the key in chapter 6?
I don't remember going back for the treasure. Or was that explained that someone took the money from the caves. Been a few weeks since I finished it and forget.

Abigail gives Arthur the key after you save her when shes taken by the Pinkertons. In the next mission you have a choice to go back to the treasure or leave with John. You must have gone with John.

I think I've finally reached max hair and beard growth with the hair tonic (final missions of Chapter 6).

My Arthur resembles a wooly mammoth, I find myself laughing out loud when I see him in the cutscenes. Looks like a right pillock.

Ya, I've about an hour logged online, I cleared the intro mission and havent gone back since.

I'll probably plow a few more hours into it over Xmas anyway and see how I get on.

Butchers Creek is worse, one wrong move and you end up shooting the whole village.

I was shot to death the first time I visited the place. Someone wasn't polite to me so I shot him and everyone else there was gunning for me then. I went down in a hail of bullets.

On my last visit there, I had a nice conversation with some fella who was taking a pee...

I went there to get a pig mask and I left the place intact, thankfully. Wearing the pig mask got me into trouble in Valentine.

triggermortis

I’ve just completed the game (with 83% completion) and I’m left thoroughly underwhelmed by the whole thing, especially the epilogue parts. Not sure I’ll be dropping back into it like I still do with GTA

What's the story

with the Indians lads?

I was at their camp and was insulted by one of them, he told me to leave in a aggressive manner.

So I went to take out my machete to gut the son of a bitch but the stupid game said no weapons allowed in this area.

I mean WTH??:mad::mad:

They are tied to missions later.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Ah yeah I'm on some of them now.

Without spoiling anything I presume it becomes possible to rob them on completion of the game?

I got really taken out of the story last night.

Myself and Sadie went to kill the remaining O'Driscoll boys. I watched a 120lb Sadie Adler beat the tar out of a 250lb, 6ft 4 outlaw. So ridiculous, took me right out of the moment.

To go from such realism to fantasy land.

I didn't see her beat him at all. I heard some gunshots followed by someone screaming in pain, and ran upstairs to find her sticking a knife in him. So I assume he had several bullets in him already and she was just finishing him off.

Riddle101

Went onto it today and some Lemoyne raider killed my horse. It was one of those moments where I got into a gunfight and managed to kill the gang members but they someone shot my horse and killed it in the crossfire. I had that horse since the beginning of the game so I was quite attached to it. I'll have to load an older save file but it will take me back a bit.

No way.

There was gunfire happening outside beforehand . An obvious attack


A seasoned gunslinger in this situation is not going to be caught off guard by Mrs Adler.


He either would have put two in her hat as she came up the stairs or overpowered her.

If you get into conflict with them at night, shoot the oil lanterns they are carrying and they will find themselves engulfed in flames.

The weirdest thing about RDR2 videos, is that usually Arthur looks nothing like my Arthur! Where's the great big bushy beard!?!

My horse doesn't believe in going around things , not sure I can embed it so I'll post the link.

Possible late game / epilogue spoilers.

Riddle101

As bad as Micah is, the guy can really fight in the game. It's probably the one thing that impresses me about him. Would be interesting to see him in a proper duel.

Sandor Clegane

I enjoyed the story for the most part, Arthur is definitely the best character in a Rockstar game IMO, one of the best characters in any game really.

However I felt the game got really bloated towards the end, I found everything after

Arthurs Death

was a grind.

I didn't enjoy playing as john, the farming, the playing with Jack and pretty much everything else you do with him was boring and drawn out.

I also didn't like

Guarma

, It was needless and it stuck out from the rest of the story, it didn't fit.

Some of the mechanics of the game were frustrating too, shooting, riding interacting with people and objects was very clunky at times.

What are the chances of a remastered RDR in the near future ?
They Wouldn’t have to do too much with the dialogue maybe tidy up a few anomalies maybe throw in a reference to Arthur and Hosea. Maybe bring in Sadie somewhere. It wouldn’t take years to develop such an upgrade surely?

SureYWouldntYa

I believe RDR1 is a very badly coded mess, and a remaster is more work than its worth

At least it can be played on Xbox and PS without a remaster, albeit with PS it needs to be streamed with PS Now

Don’t think many would call RDR 1 anything but a classic.
They have the environment and the dialogue there ready to go. Even Mexico exists in a glitch on rdr2.
Re-do the cut scenes and a bit of tidying up of the story etc and there you have it.
It’s a no brainer.
I think the Landon rickets voice actor is dead since the first game.
They should re do the undead nightmare expansion too . With the new map and original.

Sad Professor

If they did it would be closer to a remake than a remaster and it would be a lot of work. Probably having to re-record a lot of the motion capture and dialogue and adapting missions to the RDR2 engine. Adding Mexico would also be a lot of work and it shows no sign of having been worked on. Yes, it technically exists in the game but so do many other areas beyond the boundaries of the map.

That said, I think it's possible simply because it was probably always on Rockstar's do-to list even if there were technical problems with doing a conventional remaster. And as a said, a lot of the work has already being done in RDR2. I still wouldn't underestimate how much more work would needed though. After what happened with GTA V, I'd be very sceptical that Take two would be prepared to spend the money on it when they can sit back and make a fortune from micro transactions.

The best evidence that they might be working on an RDR1 remaster/remake is a glitch in which you start talking like adult Jack from the epilogue of RDR1. In addition, the hud shows train stations in West Elizabeth that don't exist in RDR2's time period yet.

I am subscribed to legacykiller on you tube he reckons that if red dead online doesn’t take off then there could be a strong possibility of more single player dlc for rdr2. Currently the numbers completing goals on red dead online are quite low and nothing like GTA online.
GTA V had new single player content that was almost ready to go in early 2014 it got canned when the online took off.
Hopefully rdr2 goes the opposite way.
I reckon the old west is too sedate and slow paced to have the same online appeal as GTA. More story based stuff is what I would most like to see.

I read that it looks brilliant when played on the One X.

Riddle101

Just finished Chapter 6.

So in my first play through I chose to go with John because I felt it was the right thing to do, but chose to go for the money this time around in my second play through. Overall I actually preferred the option to go after the money, mainly because of the knife fight with Micah and the fact that you get to blind him in one eye. I just think it's a great way for Arthur to go out. Plus I feel like this option ties in better with the epilogue because it actually shows Micah taking the money while given Arthur a chance to see it with his own eyes. I don't know, I just think it's better than the option to go with John even if it does seem a bit wrong to leave him like that, but John survives either way so it's all good in the end.

Various sources have said that an RDR1 remaster won't happen. Rumors going around suggested that the original source code had been lost or deleted, and others said that it was such a mess to code that it would take far too much work to reproduce on current gen machines. The guys on the Splitscreen podcast have mentioned it a few times.
While I loved RDR, I'd rather Rockstar produce more single player content for RDR2.

Imagine getting rdr2 as a present on Christmas morning and realizing it could be well into tomorrow before you could play it particularly in a bad rural broadband area. Worse than having a toy and no batteries.
God be with the days of the Atari 2600 and Sega mega drive where you just stick in the cartridge and away ya go.
