re: Red Dead Redemption 2 SPOILER thread

Nightmare is fun as hell

Plus the game really holds up well, it feels like an arcade-y RDR1. it's still fun as hell and the story, now with the background of RDR2 is among the best in gaming

Walking through the swamp at night with zombies...

There are already the night folk in the swamp that are pretty damned creepy. There just isn't a whole lot of content with them.

Speaking of creepy, I was walking around at night in Roanoke up around the Brandywine drop and I could hear faint whispering voices, but there was nobody there. It weirded me the hell out because in the headset, you could hear them like they were right behind you, but you turn around and nothing's there.

Then you hear them from a different direction. It's damned unsettling.

If this game starts leaning a little more into the horror elements it could be something very special.

They certainly don't seem to shy away from creepy, that's for sure. There's a house over in the Eastern part of the map that you can't go into through the front door, but an upstairs window is open. If you go into the window, you enter into some sort of Frankenstein's lab where someone was sewing pieces of different animals together.

There's also a ghost train kinda Northwest of Rhodes. I was going through there in the middle of the night and when I got to the tracks, I heard a train, but nothing was there, then all of a sudden, this bluish train came out of nowhere and blew past.

I also ran across a ghost lady in the swamps NW of Saint Denis. You can see her from a distance and hear her talking, but if you get close, she disappears.

There's a guy in a cabin East of Lakay that says all kinds of really strange things and then he knocks you out and there's a really rapey feel to the whole thing.

There's a couple in a cabin somewhere North of Rhodes, if I remember right, that are brother and sister. They seem to be a little "closer" than is normal and they heavily imply they want a threesome with you. Then they get you drunk until you pass out and rob you.

There's a feral man running around the Northeast part of the map that you can follow into a cave full of wolves that attack you. When you kill the wolves, he goes into the fetal position and starts howling sadly. You find his journal from when he was a boy that describes how he ran away from home and found a pack of wolf pups and the writing just stops. Then he attacks you with a knife. Sad, really.

Hell, there's the entire town of Plaisance that is just dead.

There's all kinds of weird and creepy shite in this game.

Undead nightmare would be phenomenal in this engine, in the setting, Lemoyne is just perfect

I got the good ending but was still pissed I didnt get to put all the bullets in Micah.

Just finished the story this morning. Truly an amazing gaming experience.

Anyone know how to get high honor back?

Ride a couple circuits around Saint Denis and say hi to everyone.

I think bounties give honor.


Bounty hunting. Not getting bounties on yourself obviously. Also throwing fish back.

Okay so I gave online a try for the first time and I got fricking wrecked. Like that shite was fricking dumb. I got killed by a posse while trying to deliver some cash and it just kept spawning me in the vicinity for me to get killed again and again. Another time I was just riding and I happen to ride into the path of someone else's mission that was going on and I guess they assumed I was trying to steal their reward or whatever and got killed while trying to mind my own business. Like seriously?

Never played GTA online so I'm new to open world online gaming, but I guess playing solo makes things infinitely harder...
