in terms of the hunting mechanics of the game, i find that it'd be pretty difficult to have Arthur haul around hundreds of pounds of animal flesh and antlers. especially considering his only mode of transport is a horse or a stolen wagon. it'd be pretty cool if the game let us buy the hunting wagons in singleplayer so we would have a place to store them for easy transportation. i imagine having Arthur only take a handful of meat and the skin was just a technical limitation.
I imagine that if it would've made for satisfying gameplay, they would have done it, but some things were abridged to keep from dragging out the game too far and making it excessively tedious.
What you talking about I regularly time travel back to the old west and carry round at least a whole bison and a few deer in my pockets. If I had a satchel I could probably carry a whole herd around.
Not really. Rockstar is abandoning it, still updating it to reduce bugs or update online, but no DLC’s and there are many missing storylines that you can find in the game the rockstar decided to ditch.
@@codycummins3452 I was sad but not surprised about the lack of a DLC. They ditched plans on making one for GTA V. A lot of casual gamers like myself don’t like playing online but Rockstar makes so much money with GTA online that making a DLC would mean having potential loss of profits. I wouldn’t be surprised if production of GTA VI costs 700-900 million (marketing included.
In the game there are characters that actually mention that robing trains is an old fashioned thing to do so it goes in line with the fact that you said it wasn’t as popular as it had been at one time
Pete Hutter: "Why are we robbing a train? It's hard enough to rob a bank. Robbing a train is like robbing a bank, 'cept it's going a hundred miles an hour!"
They made it clear in the game they were almost extinct (the buffalo) and that hunting too many would lower your honor. Charles the indian did a good job putting emphasis on how they should only be hunted for what we need and not for profit. Buffalo are dope
@@blakecacini8016you can do the same thing to the carolina parakeet in rdr2, there is only 25 you can find around lemoyne and once you’ve killed all 25 it tells you “they are now extinct”
The housebuilding cutscene is in-game engine...so you can do some fun stuff like lure a wolf or cougar there and watch everyone get mauled in the cutscene
My family has a farm house that was a Sear’s catalog house my great great grandfather built then lost in the Great Depression. Luckily my great grandfather was able to buy it back by working for the Civilian Conservation Corps
Funnily enough, I’ve been headbutted by both a doe as well as a wisent (European Bison) and I can say, the doe was much more painful due to it puncturing my skin. Should be noted though that the wisent didn’t actually put a lot of force into the „headbutt“. Just kinda enough to fling me around a bit and almost break one of my ribs.
As a hunter for just over twenty years now I can confirm that game animals like deer can actually attack people, it's just exceptionally rare for non-predators to do so.
I actually lived in a Sears home for awhile in Ohio, and had a huge tree fall on it. The roof was 2×12"s and all the tree did was put a little hole in the roof
You're getting it right, GameSpot. Please keep producing more videos like this, your series with Jonathan Ferguson, and any future Expert Reacts. Maybe RUclipsr Bernadette Banner to talk apparel?
building the house is one of my favourite missions as it's relaxing after running around and killing skinners and the song that plays is perfect for some foot tapping and head bobbing
Yo GameSprout. Please gives Danny more sessions. We really loves the man explained the topics. Perhaps the social life/gangs in the wild West for the next video? Thanks
One thing I wish they could have gotten right about the game is the value of money at the time. It’s so small but I wish they could just make everything in the game a bit cheaper and make every score a bit less. It feels like less money, I know, but it would make it more realistic.
My parents live in a sears house from 1913. I grew up there and my dad grew up there too. Still standing. Upstate NY. Lots of sears houses and older houses in general. Lots of houses and buildings from the 1840’s and 1850’s. Oldest original building in the area is almost 200 years old.
If you're ever able to I highly recommend going to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody Wyoming. It's one of the best museums I've ever seen and in terms of specifically history of the American West it's second to none. Their firearms gallery is a sight to behold. Close by in Cody is also the Cody Dug Up Gun Museum which is also a fascinating and unique collection very much worth the visit. Cody is basically the gateway to Yellowstone Park from Wyoming too so if you ever find yourself going to magnificent Yellowstone spend a day in Cody.
I've been there too. The gun collection is so huge it's really overwhelming - they all start looking alike after not very long. They have lots of other great exhibits too and you can see all the museum on the same admission. When I went, I actually stayed in Cody and drove to Yellowstone. Cody is great to stay in and the only "normal" town in the area - everything else is camping or touristy with limited resources. Just beware that it's 45 min from Cody, WY to the gate of Yellowstone and another 45 min to Old Faithful.
7:15 Two years ago there was an incident in the Czech Republic where an elderly hunter got clipped by a startled deer. Fortunately for the hunter, he just got torn his left sleeve and didn't get any major injuries. Unfortunately, he carried his .22 on his left shoulder, which got snagged on the antlers and the deer ran off with it, never to be found again.
That's what I always loved about Rockstar even the detail in music selection they don't feature any music that exceeds the period of time they're presenting
To be fair to the prices for weapons and ammo, it's a video game, and money's not very hard to come by. You shoot tons of people throughout the story, and most people in those fights tend to carry at least a few dollars on them, along with some kind of valuable you can sell. A lot of story missions also involve robbing someone or something. So, money's a lot more common in the game than would be in real life. So they'd have to raise the prices to make obtaining every weapon at least somewhat challenging. As for the animations of skinning an animal. I'm pretty sure they weren't worried about showing the process. More so that they didn't want the animation to go on too long. It's already a fairly long animation in terms of a video game, and it gets a tad old seeing it every time, especially if you're specifically out in the world to hunt, and you have to sit and watch it over, and over again. Even the weapon reload animations, while fairly accurate, have some inaccuracies for the sake of speeding the animation up.
i would like to see more of danny and more of wild west (rdr2) episodes, i want to let you know that. and of course, thank you danny and cody firearms museum.
Rockstar should come back to this game and update it with PROPER single player DLC. Everyone would buy it, they know online was a flop....just do it R*. 60 FPS on new consoles would be awesome too.
Pretty much anything you buy in the game is way overpriced for the time, like the packs of cigarettes being between 3 and 6 dollars depending on your honor. Everything in the general stores are way too much for the time, according to the stories my grandfather told me. But the game is still one of the greatest ever made.
Also the game is made pretty well by the hands of British, I didn't think they allowed cowboys to be discussed all that well amongst their people. {Amazing.. 😸👌}
Too bad they didn't show him stopping a train in a remote location and than have the law show up within seconds. Or if the guard on the rear of the train sees you the conductor immediately stops the train. They just show the situations that they got kinda right.
just noticed that whoever recorded the gameplay for this gave the mauser engravings, which you shouldn't do. it gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever
Hunting in red dead redemption 2 is painful as you cannot just hit the animal just anywhere, but its moer like you need a specific weapon with a specific ammo and so few animals will have something more and you need to shoot a specific animal for a pelt worth anything and hit it in a specific place ot not damage the pelt. You could spend hours finding a singular high quality animal. Now this is assuming the animal doesn't despawn while you are following its track.
I have been run over by a deer at work. Ripped up my Kevlar , broke my x26 taser in half ripped my mic cord out of my radio and scuffed me up a bit. Would not recommend.
It sounds odd when you don’t say Johnathan Ferguson but this is good. We need more. Get John for guns in general then experts from different parts of history to go fully in depth.

Not really. Rockstar is abandoning it, still updating it to reduce bugs or update online, but no DLC’s and there are many missing storylines that you can find in the game the rockstar decided to ditch.

In the first game you could literally hunt the local bison population to extinction single-handedly.

Love this guy's presentation, and the deep dives into general historical accuracy. Would love to see more!
This is another great expert you are collabing with just like the fencing expert and John! I would love him to react to Hunt!

I mean Rockstar has a good Research staff. Of course they get a lot right. Most of the differences are probably mostly for gameplay reasons.

In some situations it will completely skip the skinning animation.
8:52 I always found that funny. Arthur is incredibly strong, he can fight against a BISON and win. He can also carry its pelt with no issues lol
The bison scene - if you killed them, their numbers will dwindle and they can go extinct in game.
i would like to see more of danny and more of wild west (rdr2) episodes, i want to let you know that. and of course, thank you danny and cody firearms museum.
In fairness to the game in regards to bison; in the entire map, there are just two herds of them.
There probably would've still been WAY less, though; Remember that bison herds used to be all over the Great Plains and parts of the West Coast.
Rockstar should come back to this game and update it with PROPER single player DLC. Everyone would buy it, they know online was a flop....just do it R*. 60 FPS on new consoles would be awesome too.
MORE PLEASE
I want to see Danny's take on Hunt: Showdown, there is a lot of material for him on that game
I really thought the old packaging was awesome I've never seen a time period ammo package for the rdr2 era just ww1 and up
Im surprised that he didn’t mention anything about Arthur just causally hoisting a 100 plus pound deer carcass up on his shoulder.
I’d love more of this, and probably some from the first game too.

@@warriorjason2763. Ironic since the online does everything it can to make you use real world money to purchase the items.
Well no kidding man. Cigarettes were under $2 in the 90s early 00.
A can of salmon is cheaper today than it is in the game.
There are actually only a select amount of Buffalo in-game, you can actually kind of make them extinct, so to speak.
Excellent stuff.
Eff off spammy
Danny did a great job, i'd love to see him look at more firearms

I love seeing the rolodex of ian from forgotten weapons show up on this channel
And you don't break off the antlers individually on elk and deer. You take the skull with the antlers or cut skull with both set of antlers intact.
As a boy who grew up in a rural country farm, I aprove!
We probably have more Bison today than in that era.
Kind of, but not really; We really decimated their population back then.
Good Intel on wild west era, genre... 😮
There’s no prices for that ammo from the time huh because it’s a museum? I would love to know
