Entering Armadillo in rdr2 for the first time is the most western thing in the game. It feels like classic western a movie where you're an outsider who stumbled upon a barren town where something seemed off. And then you spoke to one of the townfolks who told you about what's really going on in the town.
Wow, I've been playing the game for 4 days straight and never realised there was a desert location. Hard to believe a desert, swamps and grassylands are in the same map. Good job rockstar
Obviously RDR 2 looks better, but the first game still holds up well. The details are still good in RDR 1, but obviously 2 takes it to a whole new level.
I think it’s pretty awesome that they brought back some locations from the previous game. I didn’t play enough of it to realize that New Austin was in it lol
they didnt want to create much new stuff so they litterally rehashed the old map with minor add ons. lol this proves how greedy and lazy rockstar really is. boycot them , stop supporting this greedy behavior.

You'd mine as well make a mob game. The wild west is dying out so their only choice was to go back. Now if they where to make other characters they would have to do so in another area taking place either before even rdr2 or at the same time as it or the first one in some other state because John's impact and the rest of the gang is dramatic and quite huge on the area that itd be silly to never hear of the protagonist next to it without meeting him before and even then I cant think of anyone really in the series that you can make a good game off of without being John or Arthur because their stories are already set and done
I remember watching this video when the game first came out and I wasn't angry, just confused as to why you were only doing it in first person and I just came back to this video now and I know now why you did. Shout out to you for not spoiling the game.
Tumbleweed is full of life and Armadillo is a ghost town because of that cholera plague, funny how a few years will change so much when they finish building that train path. Really cool environmental lore for these towns.
I have a question. So after Arthurs passing a few years have passed and John and his family return to the place where the Gang was set (Strawberry etc). I'm just a little confused about when Armadillo was cured from Cholera. We all know in the first game (which is set after all the events of RDR2) it's the year 1911 and Armadillo is a small but busy village. No sign of Cholera or dead. So there must've bin enough years to clean Armadillo, rebuild buildings and bring life back to the place so it would be a nice place to be. Same thing with Tumbleweed. We all know in RDR that place is a Ghosttown. Empty houses, no people around (accept gangs now and then) but in RDR2 it's a busy place like Armadillo is. How did that place turn into a ghosttown in such short time?
This is so awesome, even the wallpaper, carpet, couches and deer skulls are in the same place in the saloon in RDR2 as they are in RDR. They realy remained loyal and true to the original RDR layout, I love that! :D
Wonder whether Rockstar will add Mexico as a dlc pack and release that as part of a larger pack composing of the original Red Dead as a story pack epilogue with updated character models. That would be awesome and all the content re: missions is all there from the original already.
I reaaaaaally hope this happens. This game already is just a beautiful load of incredible fanservice, so it'd be great if they could keep that up into a dlc like that. The only problem might be that the code from the first game was apparently a complete mess.
I remember in RDR1 you could go to Mexico but it was only for like 8 missions and then you go back to the regular map. It was like a civil war going on and you had to go get a friend out of Mexico because everyone was getting killed.
Nah mexico is lame they should have added The ability to buy tickets to go to guarma like they were gonna. You were gonna be able to hunt sharks and go into the town there
+eggshen It's because of spoilers. They don't want to show a certain thing in the first person view. If you play the game you will understand. Or you can read other comments and their replies because some limp dick has probably spoilt it somewhere on here.

Before anyone goes into reading comments there is a reason that it's in first person or face is covered. If you don't want spoilers don't read comments. I completed the game 3 days ago. And it's amazing don't do it to yourself. Just look at the video.
Timothy Thompson well, this game is before the first one, but it depends if she was meaning that it was going to happen or it already happened a whole back
Timothy Thompson yeah maybe, but I was walking around in armadillo and all the people there had a sickness from the contaminated water, they had pale white faces and looked so sluggish
Watch the opening scene to Once Upon A Time In The West, Charles Bronson at the train station. " You brought two too many". Now come back to Armadillo train station.
Just wish Armadillo was a lively town like Valentine. It's quite similar in layout and would make freeroam in the Epilogue a lot of fun. New Austin gets boring after Epilogue 3 as there's not much to do.
Kinda wish they didn’t have the power lines. The way Marshall acted around technology was like it had only just come to the town, when there’s still 11 years for the first
Never really played the first one, but does 2 take place in the exact same area or is it bigger with some new locations? I guess what I’m asking is if you know your way around the first one, can you find your way in the second one?
Red dead redemption 2 map is a combination of the top half of the first game's map and also a new map section probably 3 times the size. You don't get to go to the locations from the first game till over 25 hours in. I don't think the remake of the first games map is exactly alike but some towns are. It's hard to explain.

can't see squat, is that sand storm permanent or did you choose to record during it cause it's a dumb choice if you wish to compare the two
