My game is a ****ing Benny Hill sketch, seriously, I saved a random woman in the middle of nowhere who was trapped under a horse... Offered her a ride home... Except there was a deer on the horse, so I had to take that off first, and in the mean time she was like "thanks anyway I'll just walk" because I took too long, so I rode over thinking I could maybe still talk to her and offer to help... And I accidentally rode over her! So now she is DEAD ffs.

Saint Denis is the ****ing worst for losing honor you can't even breathe without getting a bounty. Anyway there's two slightly alternate endings based on your honor level, I got the good one

Wondering if I should just go darkside for this playthrough and then play again as a good guy once I've learned the game better . My control mishaps are making it impossible currently .

Also it's clearly fate as my character currently looks like a cross between Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York, and The Artful Dodger.

Oh also, that first mission where you rescue the girl from the guy in the hotel room, first time I played it when the guy got knocked down with a punch, his head hit the side of the bed and blood spattered EVERYWHERE in such a dramatic fashion that I assumed it was scripted and that the guy was supposed to be obviously dead.

I replayed for the gold and it was just a normal KO punch.

Game just wants my Arthur to be a cold blooded killer .

The gameplay is great... the currency side of things is worse than GTA Online though

I obviously can't play online until I get past my curse, else I'll just kill everyone on my team and myself and all the horses and no one else.

The best part really is that storyline wise people keep acting like my guy knows what he's doing, when all evidence thus far suggests that he is completely and utterly incompetent to the point of being a danger to himself and others.

[user104658]

As proof that I'm not exaggerating my inability to help people... I swear I didn't move the stick and was riding straight forward here.

I had ridden for like 5 mins across the map with this woman. Emerald Ranch where I was taking her, was literally RIGHT round the corner...

Will I ever finish the main game, is the real question here. Because I've only done about 4 proper missions and today I played for 3 hours, and in that time, I did one mission (the one with the reverend guy where you play poker then save him from a train)... Plus I robbed a house, followed one treasure map, and killed and skinned a bison then went through deep water and lost the skin anyway. And that's literally it.

I finished the campaign yesterday

I was crying for like 5 minutes

I lost my bison skin too

I've given up and taken the hint about being a white hat, gone mischievous darkside . It's actually loads more fun, like encountering a guy with his leg in a bear trap and choosing "antagonise" so that you're just like "Lol look at u" then putting the poor fellr out of his misery and stealing everything from his horse.

I mean if I'd tried to help him I'd just have accidentally killed him anyway... Why prolong it?

I also just did the first mission in Strawberry where you get a huge bounty and, as I was wanted there anyway, immediately snuck back into town under the cover of darkness and robbed the stores .

They really need to fix mission replay

Like it’s virtually impossible to get gold since you don’t even find out what the objectives are until you first complete the mission then when you replay you have no tonics and level 2 stats

So you have to get like 30 headshots with about 3 seconds of deadeye, sis it’s just not realistic

Idk why you can’t just replay missions with your current stats/inventory

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ALSO i just assumed you couldn’t enter/go past blackwater when it was flagged red on the map so i completed the game without even using a huge portion of the map

Rockstar sued by real-life Pinkertons over Red Dead 2

Fans of Rockstar’s hit western series Red Dead Redemption are doubtless familiar with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. In both games, Pinkerton agents appear as antagonists, working to bring down the outlaws that serve as main characters. What many fans might not know is that the Pinkerton Detective agency still exists today, and they are currently threatening to bring legal action against Red Dead creator Rockstar over their portrayal in Red Dead 2.

Pinkertons have long been a franchise staple, and indeed, are an integral part of the world of the 1870s. In the first game, it was Pinkerton agent Edgar Ross that served as one of the game’s primary antagonists. The Pinkertons returned in Red Dead 2, once again serving as antagonists as they hunted down the Van Der Linde gang in the waning days of the old west. For the most part, it’s a portrayal that is historically accurate, as the Pinkertons played a major role in bringing outlaws to justice during that era.

The agency, currently known as Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations, filed a cease-and-desist against Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive in late December. They allege that Rockstar used Pinkerton trademarks, including their distinctive badge, without permission, and are seeking compensation. In the letter, they state that they are willing to accept a “lump sum figure” as settlement, but are willing to file specific legal action for trademark infringement and other offenses if an agreement can’t be reached.

In particular, Pinkerton Investigations also seems to take issue with the fact that they are portrayed as the game’s villains. In the cease-and-desist letter, they state that they believe their portrayal is “likely to blur the distinctive character and tarnish the reputation of Pinkerton’s famous trademarks.”

Rockstar has fired back, stating that their use of the Pinkerton Agency in the game is protected under the First Amendment. Specifically, they state that historical references are made throughout the game, and that their inclusion of the Pinkerton Agency is necessary to accurately reflect the atmosphere of the era. In addition, they argue that of the game’s 106 missions, the Pinkertons only appear in 10, and have also appeared in many other Wild West-era works of media without issue.

Though Pinkerton Investigations has yet to respond to Rockstar’s counter-claim in an official capacity, Red Dead 2 raked in just over $725 million in its opening weekend alone, meaning any financial settlement would likely be a hefty sum.

To be fair they're not REALLY portrayed as objective villains; only villains from the perspective of the protagonist who is part of a murderous criminal gang. I don't think there's any point in the game where they make out that Dutch 'n' co are morally in the right... they're portrayed as deeply flawed humans who aren't "all bad" but still do some pretty awful things.

If you like RDR1 / GTA games / Open World games in general then yes. If not then I'm not sure why you'd be considering it anyway .
