The first thought that came to mind when starting Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 5 is how well the 13-year old game holds up visually. The second one was that there was still no way in hell I could recommend it to anyone for a “next-gen” price tag of $50. The graphics are clean and crisp, but otherwise it’s the same game that’s been available for years on Xbox One without the Undead Nightmare DLC for almost half that price.

Look out across sprawling prairies or cactus-filled desserts and you’ll immediately remember this is a PS3/Xbox 360-era world.

I mean, my expectations were fairly low, apparently not low enough.

Some pics from the last playthrough. What a gorgeous game...

Even though they spawn in the same spot all the time, it’s easy to ride past and not notice them. If you’re ever looking for Bison, this is the spot.

From the New York Times, a somewhat surreal short film using RDR2 NPCs!

In this short documentary, a laundress, a stablehand, a street sweeper and a carpenter are observed with ethnographic precision. They are nonplayer characters, or NPCs, in the blockbuster Wild West-themed video game Red Dead Redemption 2, and many of them are trapped in work.

Here, we reflect on the question of work and what’s supposed to be normal. Despite the game’s turn-of-the-century setting, the labor routines, activity patterns — as well as bugs and malfunctions — paint a vivid analogy for how workers today toil under capitalism.

Can we, the nonplayer characters of a political economy that controls, exploits and alienates us, find a way to rebel against the absurdity of our own activities?

Or is it just me?

I thought I’d throw together some of the more common questions as a starting point.

Excuse the formatting, I’m new here and missing the Apollo features to do it properly.

Will my horse respawn?

All the wild horses respawn. You can only have one of any given horse at a time, but if it dies or you sell it, it will respawn at the original location in around 3 in-game days.

This applies to White Arabian; Red Chestnut Arabian; Warped Brindle Arabian; Perlino Andalusian; Tiger Stripe Mustang

Several unique horses exist that do not respawn. These are:

Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker found at Adler Ranch in Chapter 1; Black Shire from Chapter 2; Buell from the Veteran; Rachel from the epilogue

What transfers to the Epilogue?

You keep the unique items (Eg dinosaur skull), weapons and clothes but you lose all perishable items and most valuables.

These items don’t carry over: Horses; Gold bars; Gold nuggets; Cash; Jewelry, watches, belt buckles etc; Herbs; Food

So how do I get money fast in the epilogue?

There are a couple of options:

Buy everything you can before the epilogue. All the weapons, all the clothes. If you’ve done the treasure hunts, you can actually afford every single item of clothing (in every colour), all the guns etc. Do this and you won’t need much cash in the epilogue. This is my go-to method, it’s also useful if you’ve missed your chance at the next method.

Use the Aberdeen Pig Farm method. Turn all your assets into cash, then pay a visit to the farm before the epilogue. Let them rob you, but don’t go back for your money until you are in the epilogue.

Quite a few gold bars and nuggets respawn in the epilogue, giving you plenty of ready cash. Gold bar at Limpany - this actually spawns multiple times through the game. ; Gold bar at Braithwaite Manor; Gold bars at the train wreck ; Gold nugget at the wagon in the burnt out forest area west of Horseshoe Overlook ; Gold nugget in the abandoned wagon just north of Owinjila ; Gold nugget at the abandoned wagon between Valentine and Emerald Ranch

I thought I’d start a list of frequently asked questions. I’ve thrown together the most obvious ones, if people reply I’ll add to the list.

It took a lot of effort, because of the Algernon Wasp quests...but I finally completed the game 100% and the little cutscene in the end was really nice! (RIP Arthur) I like the legend of the east outfit, what about you guys? The Algernon's revolver as a reward for collecting all the damn orchids was disappointing though 😅

Oh, and I'm not even going to bother with getting gold medals for the missions for the gold medal achievement. Ridiculously tedious in my opinion. Now I'm hoping that rockstar makes a red dead redemption remaster. PLEASE ROCKSTAR PLEASE.
