I am not one to really give 2 craps what people do with their lives so long as they aren't hurting anyone but the way things have been going in this world, it is just nauseating. Everything is offensive, people are hating people for things they have no right to hate them for, bigots can be seen everywhere in the media... What the heck is going on!? Maybe it has been this way for awhile and I just never noticed because there was a great lack in "social media" when I was growing up but holy hell, the way people are being in 2018 makes me want to avoid everyone!

The new trailer is finally here !

I can understand this. I mean I like the story in RDR and I want RDR2's to be just as good if not better but I care more about the experience of playing the game. Doing all the missions, finding stuff, getting new gear and weapons, crap like that.

I guess I just never like R$ trailer 3's. I remember back when GTA4 was due out — trailer 1, a 30 sec glimpse into the world, I was like "OMG". Trailer 2, which was longer and a bit more reveal on the story and gameplay, I was like "oooh, exciting". Then trailer 3, which was just a mad, difficult to follow barrage of a million snippets of the story interspersed with people getting beaten up and shot, I was like "uh, right, too much". Maybe just me. I've never been that into story mode, doing R$ missions just to either open the map or unlock shit. I much prefer to make my own stories around the map, so this trailer, which follows the exact same format as all the R$ trailers, for me, is just a bit disappointing. Although visually it looks absolutely incredible.

Rockstar Games has published, as promised, the third trailer for the upcoming Wild West epic Red Dead Redemption 2, which has revealed further details about the game’s storyline, accompanied by a slightly more verbose blurb. We now know more of what to expect regarding this game’s narrative, though gameplay details remain elusive. The trailer, running for just over 2 minutes, is going to be an absolute hype generator with all the various scenes just waiting to be picked apart by fans. Even on the first viewing attentive players will catch some significant details. We finally know more about the motivation of the gang, about the timeframe of the game and how Morgan fits into all of this. The West had nearly been tamed “We’re more ghosts than people” says Morgan to an unnamed lady outlaw right before the trailer specifies the year the plot will take place in to be 1899, putting it 7 years before the botched robbery at the beginning of Red Dead Redemption, and 12 years before the main events of that game. This means that Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place during the era before Dutch went violently insane, and the trailer indicates as much with his dialogue. Seeing the gang back when it was still running as an idealistic, Robin hood-esque vigilante anti-hero outfit, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor will be an interesting antithesis to how every member goes quite clearly morally depraved 12 years later. The trailer shows us an iteration of Dutch’s Gang that is quite populous, comprised of significantly more outlaws than just Williamson, Escuela, Morgan and… John Marston. Sons of Dutch That’s right, this trailer confirms the presence of John Marston. Considering the timeframe, the plot of Red Dead Redemption 2 might even contain a section that resembles an origin story for the protagonist of the previous title, which would be possibly the most extreme example of fan service since the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3. For all we know, Morgan may even have a hand in recruiting Marston. In any case, the trailer involves one gang member describing them as the ‘Sons of Dutch’. Whether this is a one-time play on words, or a sort of name for the gang that wasn’t mentioned before will become clear later on. The plot synopsis starts off in a rather familiar manner – Dutch’s Gang botch a robbery in Blackwater. However, instead of leaving one of their members behind, only for that member to return hunting them at the behest of the authorities, we’ll be following the gang members as they try to evade lawmen and bounty hunters in an epic game of cat and mouse spanning the “rugged heartland of America”. Now, players might remember that the Blackwater Massacre of 1899 is mentioned a few times in Red Dead Redemption. A large-scale shootout between lawmen and outlaws in the town of Blackwater that claimed the lives of 22 outlaws and 15 lawmen, the Blackwater Massacre was unique due to having taken place in a modern, industrialized and supposedly safe urban area. This event may very well be the botched robbery that sets off the events of Red Dead Redemption 2. This would also mean that Landon Ricketts would appear in the prequel (and would make it strange that he never mentions Dutch was involved). The official description also states that “As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him” , suggesting that there will be some kind of break between Morgan and the gang. This is pure speculation, but I call RDR2’s ending will mirror the ending of Red Dead Redemption, with Morgan opening barn doors and getting gunned down by the members of the gang due to some betrayal, hence why he isn’t around or even mentioned in Red Dead Redemption. Beyond these details, the trailer is filled with pretty scenes showing off the fantastic graphics the game packs, includes a lot of outlaws doing outlawed things, horses (obviously) and many scripted events from cutscenes. There is a train robbery, but it isn’t clear what role it will have in gameplay, and the same can be said of bank robberies. It seems that brawls and duels will appear as in-game activities, as many of the shots showing these looked like they were recorded through regular gameplay, but were edited to be shown from different angles and without UI to fit the cinematic feel of the trailer. This is also true for many scenes peppered about this footage – both previous trailers were 100% scripted and taken from cutscenes, whereas here we see gameplay, albeit heavily edited. You can expect to see a more detailed, in-depth analysis of the new trailer shortly. The post Red Dead Redemption 2 Gets Third Trailer appeared first on RDR2. Read the full story

I just want to be able to sit down. Not much to ask, surely.
