Red Dead Redemption 2: Discussion & Speculation (Part 2)

[Keith_The_Triangle]

I do not have a problem with Legacy at all. Seems chill enough to me. I dont get the hate he gets sometimes. I mean some of his theories can be a bit off the wall, but who cares? My only gripe with him honestly is like almost every video of his I have watched he mentions Landon Ricketts and tries to find a way for him to be apart of RDR II

[Nutduster]

 

Lmfao guys, I was scrolling through the comments on R* rdr2 Instagram screenshots (always good for a laugh)

 

And I see this (paraphrasing of course)

 

Some kid: what the hell is red dead 2? We didn't even have a red dead 1 yet! Smh cmon rockstar we want GTA6 not this crap!

 

 

 

 

Fact that the GTAV children aren't interested in the game seems more like good news than anything.

 

 

Unfortunately Red Dead multiplayer was infested by some of the same obnoxiousness. You'd think it would have been more peaceful and easy-going, but I seemed to only run into people that wanted to kill you and then spawn-trap (because RDR multi had a terrible spawn system -depending where you died they often would know exactly where you'd pop back up). Assuming Red Dead Online, or whatever they call this new multiplayer, is PvP-heavy, then I fully expect the majority of players to be cancerous assholes.

Please discuss the story of Red Dead Redemption II and speculation about it in this thread rather than using the main Discussion & Speculation thread. Thank you!

[Emmi]

Can we please open a thread ']Red Dead Redemption II: Story Speculation'

It's not funny to read through this thread when you constantly see some story speculation or even reminders of RDR1' plot background that supposedly links to RDR2 now.

If you feel a thread needs to be created, create it

Created. Now can we have it pinned also, so it's there to stay and people won't keep posting story related stuff & speculation in here. Much appreciated.

I dont think the comments are hating on him. Its his content. I watched his videos back when we had no info and it was interesting because that was only RDR content really. Occasionally I watch some his videos that pop up and I find that he really does not know what hes talking about in terms of RDR info when he does breakdowns, they are just bad. Hes good at relaying news thats circulating, but like I said, when it comes to breakdowns, Id go with GTASeries videos. Quality from top to bottom.

 

Plus, when he finally did a playthrough of the RDR back when, it seemed like he never even played it before.. His content is all over the place as well, a lot of his videos are responding to some troll YTber... so

 

Anyway, Im just chiming in since I have watched his videos before. Dont hate on the dude, but I think its good to critique the content and quality.

i don't know if this has been discussed or not but i see a lot of people saying that john joins the gang in 1899 for example gtaseriesvideos i just want to point out that this is incorrect, he and Abigail ran away from the orphanage and joined dutch's gang in 1890

[Jimmy Darmody]

Bill Williamson is going to be constantly sexually harassing Saddie Adler with her always rejecting his advancements. He's the type. Even i can feel the creep in him Mark my words.

[Keith_The_Triangle]

John and Abigail were not at the same orphanage. This is a common misconception. John talks about her history in one of the alternate dialogues for a Bonnie mission and talks about her living a a different orphanage then him

really ? thanks but they joined the gang at the same year

[Keith_The_Triangle]

Yeah Relax a lot of people just assume that. Also where did you get that 1890 date from? Just curious, never seen it

i remember it from one of the alternate dialogues but can't remember which mission it's also in the red dead wiki timeline

[Keith_The_Triangle]

Im going through the game and recording all alternate dialogues so if I stumble across it I will let you know what mission it is so we can have a source

[TheOriginalGunslinger]

We'll probably have to head into town and grab a bottle (or several) of alcohol for Uncle. He'll probably tell you to do it because let's face it, his drunk ass won't walk into town to do it himself.

LegacyKillaHD needs to change his format he needs to bring someone else on to have a debate and turn it into first take he can be Max Kellerman and the other guy can be Stephen A Smith and they can have a shouting match.

Yeah, there are way too damn many media channels in the world, and way too damn many media makers, so most media devolves to shouting heads, just like you say. World Vocal Wrestling Foundation.

[saintsrow]

Copying from the General Chat thread:

 

Guys what if John had a case of amnesia and remembered an altered version of what really happened and how he was never even shot or left behind...hmmmm...

RDR1 was all just a dream, and Zombie Undead Nightmare was the reality?

 

I'm thinking that makes more sense, and accounts for Authur not being referenced in RDR1.

 

Standard dream or amnesia retconning. Comic books and blockbuster movies get away with this, all the time.

 

So RDR2 should be called "Red Dead Reboot," or "Red Dead Retcon."

[Matrelith]

Going on a limb and say that both Arthur and Sadie survive the events of RDR2.

 

 

you heard it here first

I better be able to bash out some sweet tunes on the pianos in saloons after shooting the pianist the back of the head, thats what kept rdr from being a true masterpiece

I use to hate on the guy ages ago but honestly have respect for him now as time went on. He actually provides and tries to provide accurate information, as well as effort into a format and structure unlike the classic clickbaiters we all know. I respect his hustle and he actually has an understanding of accurate sources.

I think this is one of the camera angles used in the interaction with NPCs.

Where did you find this screen? I must have missed this one entirely. Or is it from a different source?

Wait is that a new screenshot i haven't seen it before

There better be an option for better Honor scoring, where we can politely ask the piano player, "Hey, man, you've been at this all year, every time I come in here. Why don't you take a break, have a drink on me, and I'll entertain these worthless yahoos for a while?"

[Cutter De Blanc]

Gonna be like a bad guy from Bonanza, gonna go into the saloon and the dude'll just stop playing and clear the f*ck out

We'll see once this gameplay video is released. However I just noticed something else in this screenshot. Here, in addition to the gun, Arthur also stored his bow in the horses saddle. Nice stuff, also may I once more say how amazing the horses look ... I thought the horses of RDR1 were incredible but these are like real-life. I so can't wait to see how they control, react, etc. in the official gameplay video from R* and then of course playing the game by myself come October 26 and beyond. Now that I think of it, it's really not that long to go now ... June will be here before we know it, then lots of E3 stuff to keep us busy and in addition to that we'll get the special edition announcement in June as well and some other stuff, then in July I'd say we can realistically expect a first (out of two or three) gameplay videos and then we are pretty much there.

Just read this comment under a video: But Abigail was a slut, Dutch said that John got married with a whore. And yet Abigail uses John and treats John like Ashley did to Johnny. Look what happened to both of them...

Someone also responded that no one can even know if Jack is John's son.

How do people not understand that John truly loved Abigail and she loved him? Or am I missing something? Just thought I'd leave this here as it might be something interesting to discuss.

How have I never seen this screenshot? Like really, I haven't seen it anywhere and I'm constantly looking at them. Weird I have never seen this one or anyone posting it anywhere. Huh perhaps I need to get my eyes checked.

 

Side note: come October 26th if a muhf*cker come ridin' up on me with that street howitzer locked cocked and ready to rock, I'm putting two in his head first and worrying about what he wanted later. Ain't no body got no manners. Be riding up on someone with a shotgun.

If horses are also used to carry items, I'm going to treat mine like Lydia in Skyrim and load it up to [email protected] nag will be carrying 500 lbs of gold nuggets by the time I'm done.

Yes, but storage will be limited ... we aren't able to store every single weapon into the horses saddle ... I can't remember the exact free spots but I like that they keep it limited, way more realistic and adds another sense of danger and a new from of gameplay to this epic game.
