I knocked out a huge chunk of Red Dead 2 today. I finished up Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 in one blow and started 6.
Chappter 5 is a fun chapter. I see a lot of people say it draws out too long, and i kind of get that. But the feeling of going into Chapter 6 after chapter 5 really feels like coming home after a long trip and getting to relax, only for the game to say psyche and take it away from you. Not to mention the environment is really pretty. It’s a shame they never got to implement the island to it’s full scale, it would have been amazing to see. Below i attached some of my favorite landscapes on the island.
At one point it makes you fight off a battleship with a single cannon. While super fucking unrealistic, i love it for the cool factor alone. It was so fun to get handed this overpowered cannon for a brief second just to be able to use it to take down something of that scale.
The ship can be seen in the very foreground of the fog. Sadly the game never lets me get a good look at it.
The water in this chapter is a 10/10 for me too. It’s like a perfect shade of blue. I would honestly love to see it in person if it was a real island (and obviously not a sugar plantation anymore).
Finally, While playing, i got some fun bugs too that i think would make Todd Howard proud. My favorite is when Arthur got his arm stuck in this wagon and got dragged away from dutch
There’s also this one though of the Boat just filling with water:
Love this game. I’m going for 100% for the first time, at about 92% now.
I actually think Guarma doesn’t go on long enough. Should have been more exploring. Yeah it gets a little unrealistic, but a lot of the late game does (see also the prison break, the Pinkerton fight at Lakay).
But overall this game is hands down one of my favorites, and I really hope for another Red Dead in the future.
100% is my objective too hopefully. I already messed things up with the Honor Missions though, so i’m not sure if i want to do a second playthrough or not though
Dang, those are beautiful screenshots. I recently moved over to Linux and have only tried a couple of games on here, but I should see how that one works… haven’t played it in a few months, and I have ways to go in it. I don’t even remember what chapter I’m on.
It plays pretty well with Proton. There’s an issue i have with my rig, but i’m not sure if it’s a proton issue or a hardware issue. after about a few hours the game starts to lag, then about an hour later it crashes. Besides that though runs great. No other complaints really
