10 Unintentionally Hilarious Things About Red Dead Redemption 2
Funny enough his name became a meme thanks in large part to the mission where he and Arthur end up getting drunk at a saloon. Arthur calls out to Lenny and yells his name over and over again in hopes of finding his nickname-less bu
Upon its release, come late October 2018, literally at the stroke of midnight (I had pre-downloaded it weeks in advance), I was instantly pulled into a gritty, serious, and breathtaking open world. I probably didn't stop playing for a full 12 hours. Though I may have easily fallen in love with a game I had long been anticipating, I can see how others may have grown frustrated with the Game podcasts's design, tone, and realism. These three concepts all clash in some way throughout the playthrough and, despite record sales, proves why the game has dramatically left the public
During the game, players can hear a story about how Hosea originally wanted to be a priest. He goes on to say that "didn't know that you had to be Catholic to be a priest." This implies that he likely wasn't originally Catholic, but was rather a convert to the relig
In hindsight, this was overt foreshadowing for both characters as they both end up being buried next to one another following the tragic events in Saint Denis. Though they died too soon at least they were able to have their wishes fulfil
Hosea is quite funny and happens to be one of the livelier members of the Van Der Linde gang despite being the elder of the group. At a young age, Hosea was a stage actor who had dreams of becoming a famous comed
You would think that a video game as popular and impactful as Red Dead Redemption would have been localized all around the world, with the voice work being translated or at the very least subtitles being available. However, that wasn't the case for this game in South Korea, with Rockstar not providing any voice changes or subtitles for the game, instead, providing a manual with translations for those who were interested in play
Strauss was born in 1946 in Austria. His old age brought him wisdom and experience when it came to manipulating people into loans taking them for all they had. He may have been cruel at times, but Strauss understood what a life without money was like, and he never wanted to experience that ag
The sequel shows a somewhat different character. In the crossroads of an existential dilemma, Dutch must choose between changing his entire identity to save his band of followers or fall victim to his own fallacies and authoritative attitude. Dutch is one of the most conflicted characters in the entire series, struggling with his devotion to living free while still chasing a life of everlasting peace for his gang. He truly believes in himself, as much as his followers do, which drives him into the very state of insanity we find him in during the origi
Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle. If entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of this happening then it must be fairly common among criminals and outl
He shares a name which an ancient Jewish prophet from Israel, so there's a solid chance that Hosea grew up in a household which practiced the Jewish faith, but as he got older he converted over to Catholic
Hosea met Dutch at a campfire and as he was trying to con and rob him he realized Dutch had already robbed him. The two respected each other's craft and bonded over their shared life as outlaws. Their years together are likely the reason Dutch always held Hosea's opinion in such high reg
As we'll get into later Leopold Strauss didn't have the greatest life growing up in Europe. His family struggled to make ends meet and often resorted to extreme measures just to make sure they were fed and sec
We're not laughing at his fright—anyone would scream if they fell from a similar distance—but it's more the abrupt cutoff between when he lands and his nonchalance towards just taking such a big drop. It may not be super realistic, but it is better than breaking a bone or cutting a leg open and having to crawl to the nearest doctor, and we all know what doctors used to do with injured limbs back in those d
Red Dead Redemption 2 is heavily inspired by several Westerns and many other things throughout pop culture. Some of the characters share physical or personality traits with famous fictional characters as either an homage or because they're iconic to the ge
As the game progresses players come to learn that Arthur Morgan is sick and it's only becoming worse. Due to the lack of modern medicine and his stubbornness, it becomes apparent that there isn't a way to cure his condit
However, despite how natural Wiethoff seems in the role, he wasn't actually Rockstar's initial choice to do the job, as the company originally hunted down several big-name celebrity actors instead. The major name considered for the role was none other than Clint Eastwood, which makes sense given his history with the Western ge
