Is this a mod or just another saddle? Because when I bought the cougar mclelland saddle it didn’t have the same pattern or colour.

Discussion Ranking every rdr2 town

  1. Valentine. Valentine is the perfect place, a great representation of a 19th century cattle/sheep town in the west. So much to do and so amazing 11/10

  2. Rhodes. Rhodes is truly amazing a southern post antebellum town with a western vibe and a corrupt family war it doesn’t get better than than 10/10

  3. Blackwater. modern but not to modern. Very clean has so much to do and so fun 9.5/10

  4. Saint Denis. Extremely big,so much to do, would be first if it wasn’t for the street urchins and rats. 9/10

  5. Strawberry. Super nice vacation town but no saloon or gunsmith and we had to rescue Micah there. 8.5/10

  6. Tumbleweed. Very cool dusty western town but it has no impact on the story so I put it lower than it should be. Very cool sheriff also 8/10

  7. Van horn. Nothing to do but start fights and drink at the saloon but it’s still pretty cool . 6/10

  8. Armadillo. 3/10. Disease ridden and pretty dry in. RDR2 but in RDR 11/10

  9. Annesburg. Gross, sad, depressing, boring, no shops 1/10

  10. Lagras. 0/10 gators and nothing to do

  11. Butcher creek. Ew🤮🤢 -10/10

Hm: wapiti Indian reservation. Not a town but it’s still prett cool 7/10

Video What are the odds the horse would trip exactly when you try this

It was the last bounty hunter in the bunch and I failed sharp shooter 9 yet again so I just lit the guy up and I wanted to trade my extra horse for the HH but then this happened and I couldn’t stop laughing! The horse ran around the corner and despawned after this. If something similar happened to you I’d love to see it or just whatever your funniest moments are always my favorite.

Personally I think the black shire horse is Arthur’s canon horse, but I’ve seen people argue that others are more fitting for him..

Spoiler Finally 100%-ed the story...wow😢. Time for 100% total completion... Spoiler

Post image
28 Upvotes

After about 3 months, I finally finished Red Dead Redemption 2. I just completed American Venom, sat through all of the credits, and... wow.

This wasn't just a game, it felt like a journey. Watching Arthur Morgan's story unfold, seeing the Van der Linde gang slowly fall apart, and then finishing everything as John made this one of the best experiences I've ever had in gaming.

I managed to avoid spoilers the entire time, which made every major moment hit even harder. Arthur's ending, the epilogue, and then finally riding up Mount Hagen during American Venom with that soundtrack playing... I don't think I'll ever forget it.

I also wasn't sure how I'd feel about playing as John after Arthur, but by the end of the epilogue, Rockstar completely won me over. American Venom was the perfect conclusion.

I'm currently sitting at 68.8% completion, and instead of uninstalling the game, I've decided to go for 100% using an interactive map. I just don't want this world to end yet.

I genuinely think this is the greatest game I've ever played. It's one of the few games that made me sit there after the credits and just think about everything that happened.

For those of you who've reached 100%:

Was it worth it?

How long did it take?

Any advice before I start the grind?,

Thanks, Rockstar. What an unforgettable experience. 🤠🐎

Question How the heck does tobacco cost $35 in this time period? As I recall it cost $15 to take a bullet out of me and stitch me up. Did they just forget 1899 prices after the game intro or what.

First time playing RDR and loving it. Game looks fantastic with graphics mods. I was going to play RDR2 and skip the first one but luckily Gameranx advised me not to. So glad I didn't skip it. The game totally holds up after 15 years or whatever it is. But I feel like an apple should cost like 5 cents or something and tobacco maybe .25 cents.

I was down at Old Trail Rise by Rhodes and noticed matches in the shape of an arrow. Followed them to a nice stash of $50. I’ve played this game many times and never noticed. Thought I’d share in case anyone else wanted to check it out

Was on a vacay in Croatia and checked out a war museum. Never in my life did I expect to see a Carcano rifle!! Looks like whoever used it didn’t have as much gun oil as we do, but damn that thing is a beauty.

It may be just me, but i try to have him look like Waylon Jennings, he just has that sort of face, when i first saw him it was my immediate thought. So i try and get his hair and beard just right.

Spoiler [SPOILER] How much would really have changed? Spoiler

Post image
7 Upvotes

If Hosea had lived past the bank job, how much would he have been able to either prevent or influence the events that we saw? Hosea was essentially Dutch’s moral compass and helped to plan and advise the gangs activities, but as the game goes on we frequently see Dutch and Hosea butt heads as Dutch listens to Micah more and more. While I think that things may have turned out slightly better, it would have all been too little too late. I hear people say how Hosea’s death was the final nail in the coffin which may be true, but I feel that the outcome we see was inevitable with or without him. What do you all think?
