However, there's a lot more to Red Dead Redemption 2's in-game journal than just the moments shown to the player after cutscenes and pictures of crudely-drawn cougars. Flipping forwards or backwards through the journal at any given point in Red Dead Redemption 2's story will provide players with an in-depth look at their current avatar's mentality, and when comparing the two characters side-by-side the journal gives a fascinating look what i found at the differences and the similarities between the gruff, silent Arthur Morgan and the more headstrong, emotional John Mars

Earning animal pelts and meat is extremely useful for a few of reasons. The first thing that players will be able to do with anything that they gather from dead animals is to turn them in to Pearson back at the camp. This will ensure that the camp has plenty of food to live off

A criticism often levied at the narrative of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that Micah's intentions are obvious from the beginning. The argument is that it feels like heavy-handed foreshadowing that leaves little to no surprise for the story's climax. Counterarguments hold on the idea that Micah feels much more realistic as a character because he's so obvious in his intentions to Arthur. It helps showcase that greed will often supersede loyalty if the circumstances fit. Micah isn't meant to trick Arthur, he's meant to show how easily Dutch could be manipula

John's journal, on the other hand, isn't quite as fanciful, despite him being a much more verbose character in person. As the main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption and the avatar which players take control of after Arthur Morgan's death in Red Dead Redemption 2, John isn't afraid to let people know he isn't keen on keeping thoughts and feelings internal when they need to be expressed, and he isn't the type of person to go in for such highfalutin concepts as art and education. Although he still sketches each new animal that he comes across, John's drawings are simple, almost child-like, and when he writes he adds lines underneath his words so that he doesn't end up scribbling all over the p

Even though **Red Dead Redemption 2 ** doesn't call attention to it very often, the in-game journal carried by Arthur Morgan and John Marston tells players a lot about their character's personalities. Rockstar Games' latest massive open world title is absolutely filled with small details and flourishes, from the way real-life animal behaviors are emulated to hidden mysteries hinting at the inclusion of fantastical creatures like vampires and long-dead Giant skelet

It always feels a little bad when the games central villain outlives the game's protagonist. The fact that Arthur Morgan perished before Micah did won't ever sit right with fans. That doesn't mean the story wasn't told correctly or the events were bad, but rather it was done so well it made the players feel something. Great storytelling isn't meant to leave the audience happy or fulfilled, its job is to make them feel something. The moment an audience feels that means they've become invested in the story and have been fully immer

With a world as massive as the one in **Red Dead Redemption 2 ** , there is obviously a lot of stuff players can do to pass the time. Players can go out and steal people's horses, play poker, and even complete small tasks for random people in the world. This makes Red Dead Redemption 2 a very rewarding and immersive experience where players can literally play the game however they ple

With Rockstar Games doing a better job at getting their games to PC after launch, the community has built interesting servers where players roleplay in-world as characters.

If you've ever wanted to take your love of outlaws and the Wild West to the next level, join a roleplay server on PC. Alternatively, you could simply roleplay in your single-player world as w

As Arthur's coming close to meeting his fate he tells Dutch Van Der Linde , "I gave you all I had. I did." The voice actor finishes the line with a slight voice crack which adds to the emotion of the scene and expresses how heartbroken Arthur is at Dutch's course of act

This isn't explained very well in-game, so players may run into issues trying to acquire perfect pelts from the animals they bring down. Perfect pelts will earn the player drastically more money when sold, and so it almost isn't worth hunting any animal that isn't perfect. The only way to ensure that an animal's pelt is perfect is to use a set of binoculars to observe animals from a distance. This will show a series of stars that rate the quality of animals. Only three-star animals provide perfect pe

Those who grow tired of killing and robbing every NPC that they encounter may yearn for a new challenge to keep the game feeling fresh. Going out hunting for both small and large game is a great way to have fun, while still getting to shoot Arthur's vast assortment of guns. Those who are unused to hunting in RDR2 may not realize that it is a lot more complicated than just pointing at animals and shooting. This guide is here to explain some of the hunting mechanics and give players tips for bagging their very first grizzly or alliga
