John meets a journalist from New York City, named Jimmy Saint, at the train station in Benedict Point. The mission has four parts, with the first being the easiest. It requires John to speak to Jimmy about life in the West. The next three missions have Jimmy in troubling situations, being found in gang hideo

The player must clear the hideouts and free Jimmy. During the last encounter, Jimmy says he plans to give up being a writer. Interestingly, when playing Jack, Jimmy mentions he plans to become a war reporter in World War I instead. It's these small changes that make playing the game as Jack so rewarding, even though a lot of people might not like his character all that much. Thankfully, Rockstar made some much-needed changes to make the protagonist switch more palatable in Red Dead Redemption

With the entire Caribbean to explore, it’s easy to see why this game delivers in side missions. These are abundant in quantity, but also deliver in execution. Stuff like hunting whales and sharks, fighting death ships, and discovering crypts of the Isu civilization are incredible to play thro

This hidden bit of dialogue is easily missable in both the first and second playthroughs. While playing as Arthur, interacting with a mirror makes the Outlaw start to criticize himself, particularly the way he lo

Updated on June 21, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: Red Dead Redemption is one of the finest Western open-world games players can check out. After making a string of successful Grand Theft Auto games, fans were pleasantly surprised to see Rockstar shifting its attention away from the modern world. After acquiring the Red Dead IP, the developer eventually released this amazing video game. The story of John Marston as he hunts down the former members of his gang to get the Pinkertons off his back and enjoy a normal life with his family makes for an entertaining journey. Throughout the game, players can stumble upon several strangers in RDR1 whom they can help out. These characters can either be as mundane as they come, or sport wacky personalities where Rockstar flexes their comedic chops. These quests help this game stand out even more in the eyes of m

Even minor missions like collecting Animus fragments are extremely fun, as it employs the open-world feature. Black Flag manages to make the present-day sequences engaging as well, as uncovering Templar plans by playing mini-games adds in a level of quality that most games don’t bother with in their side missi

One of the coolest and most often-overlooked missions is "A Bright Bouncing Boy," which can be started once players reach Saint Denis. There, just north of the Horse Stable on the edge of town, players will encounter a man named Marko Dragic. The inventor is being called a fraud by some strangers and enlists Arthur's help to prove them wrong, roping players into a fun mini-game where they must pilot a remote-controlled b

Not everything in the Red Dead Redemption 2 world is there from the start. Certain train tracks and buildings are under construction in the early days of the story. Players can even go to the locations to see people working on t

There's a mission in Annesburg centered around a son and his mother that Arthur tries to solve, but ends up coming out of it as a perceived bad guy. In a way, this helped show Arthur that no matter how kind you present yourself, others will perceive you however they cho

As we've mentioned earlier, Gloria was the old con-artist that Dutch and Arthur encountered at some point in Guarma to free Javier. Given that both Arthur and Dutch arrived on the same day in Guarma, there's almost nothing to tell about how Dutch connected through

Strawberry is interesting because it isn't directly important in the narrative until you reach the game's epilogue. Upon further inspection, though, you'll find it changed the course of the Van Der Linde gang entir

Not only does this detail take a second playthrough to spot, but an eagle eye is required too. In chapter one, Hardest Rdr2 Challenges when the gang is heading to do the first train robbery , it's possible to catch a glimpse of Micah's hideout from the end of the g

Although the Guarma chapter only serves as some kind of filler in Arthur's journey, it does deserve better. This chapter exposed the real menace of the gang's leader, Dutch Van der Linde, and his narcissistic, paranoia, and sadistic nature. It's proven when he and Arthur go into a cave to meet a shady elderly woman, to reveal the hidden path to Aguasdulces in their quest of rescuing Jav

In the first Red Dead Redemption , John Marston can find strangers and complete tasks for them. These types of side missions were first featured in Grand Theft Auto 4 and gave the player a chance to discover a little more about the game's world. These side missions could range from gathering flowers for an old man to blackmailing a politician. These stranger missions can still be completed during the epilogue, even if they were started by John. The strangers will comment on Jack looking different , but will gladly accept his h
