One thing that does not make sence to me is why didn´t they just send one of the women, or someone inconspicuouso to collect the money in Blackwater. Instead of just leaving it there.
Also whould chapter 5 have been better if it was set in New Austin instead of Guarma.
RDR2 will come out on Epic Store announcement soon...huh I just heard something I must go
Jaxson Gray
Visuals are already nice on console, I just want mouse controls PLUS some mod to remove bloom on weapons. I want duel wielding pin fucking point shooting. Fuck realism, I want fun
Easton Hill
It's not even a game. It's a bad movie where they let you hold X to follow a trail while listening to exposition and then auto aim kills all the enemies for you so you can get back to watcing cutscenes and listening to more exposition.
Ryan Myers
Maybe he didnt trust anyone else in the gang to pick it up. Also maybe the women were technically wanted as well due to their association with Dutch, the feds just didnt give a fuck about them once they left the gang.
Christopher Lee
Dutch didn't even trust the OG inner circle with the real camp funds. Why the fuck would he trust some woman to collect the Blackwater money? Basically they didn't want to risk leading Pinkertons or O'Driscolls to the money, and it was understood that Dutch wanted to go get it himself.
Easton Davis
Also Karen wasnt trustworthy at that point, Mary Beth is a pussy. Only Tilly is capable but she is just one person. Sadie was probably as wanted as the men.
Elijah Hill
Because:
A- there was no money or dutch knew it was gone. but couldnt tell the group that was already leery about the whole thing even thinking they had the money.
B- dutch knew things were going downhill, or would eventually go downhill. Thus the money would be an emergency mango fund for him
Did I misunderstand or wasnt the money John got after the epilogue part of the Blackwater money or was it just the other money they had gathered from the main story?
Austin King
Maybe it´s just me but i fucking love the realism. It makes the game feel so god damn immersive. Sure some may find it a bit clunky but jesus the amount of bullshit butthurt PC player salty that they cant play it (yet) is insane.
Gavin Reed
Sure, but I still think they could have done something. Anything to try and get the money. Like having chapter 5 being set in NA and blackwater. I dunno trying to get the money back. Instead of the random act that is Guarma
Nicholas Allen
yeah this should of been cowboy max payne 3
Jackson Cruz
The sideways dive move, that you can shoot during, really fucking makes you wish it was less cover shooty with awful bloom on every mid/long range weapons
Caleb Brooks
part of the final twist in the game is that the money wasn't in Blackwater, Dutch hid it in the cave all along
Dominic Smith
Pretty sure that was just the money they had gathered in heists since the blackwater incident.
Dominic Ortiz
Dutch didn't want the money. It was never about money for him. The money was just ALWAYS an excuse to keep the gang together. He never intended to just let everyone go their separate ways. Did you guys even play the fucking game? Jesus christ. He literally had fuck tons of cash hidden away from everyone in the fucking cave.
Luis Wilson
Because narrative logic vs video game logic. The money is the MacGuffin. It compounds the anxieties and stresses of the crew as it's the big win, the exit from their life that they've been forced to abandon and leave behind, and so this loss hangs over their head for the entire narrative. It is the pressure that drives them to rebuild, but also recklessly pursue the same lofty goals that are largely unachievable. The money is obsession, a bad memory, a reminder of success and failure, and ultimately the undoing of the gang.
The issue is that this premise works fine in narrative logic, because if RDR2 was a film we'd just assume that the money, no matter how hidden, is outright unattainable due to the risk. The emphasis is routinely put on how far away Dutch and co are from Blackwater, the long travel they've had to endure to escape, and the impossibility of returning. This is fine and believable in the confines of a standard narrative.
Ergo the problem is that RDR2 is a video game, one where Rockstar insisted on rendering New Austin and having it a stone's throw from the main game's landmass. They introduced game systems to keep you out. But the carrot-on-a-stick is that instead of being an enigmatic far away place with lost treasure, instead Blackwater is right then and there on the map. You can see it and literally go there. It diminishes the brevity of having to abandon the money, and the risk of getting it back given the extent of violent antics and absurdity the crew embark on elsewhere.
New Austin is a neat gimmicky inclusion for nostalgia and epilogue, but it really does more harm than good to the narrative device of the money. It makes it a real, tangible, measurable thing at a realistic location in the framework of a game that should make it acquirable. The sell of it being something impossibly lost is gone.
Luis Thomas
I mostly agree but you cant really go there though. At least I got killed pretty fast when I tried before the epilogue. Its true that it isnt exactly far away. Just riding to blackwater from the swamp camp only takes a few minutes if you follow the shore.
>Implying there was a woman Dutch trusted to do something so important >Implying that a woman could handle moving that much cash by herself >Implying that said woman could be trusted to not simply run away with the money
Dylan Cook
Heard it won't come until they remake the game for PS5, like they did with GTA5 for PS4, think that was when it came to pc back then.
Carter Jackson
Why would you want to trust women to handle your money?
Luis Lopez
The money was never in Blackwater, Dutch was just hiding it away in his chest in camp. Literally everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
Adrian Hughes
It will release for pc during the holidays.
Screencap this.
Caleb Powell
It was the Blackwater money. Dutch had it hidden in the mountains all along. He was hiding it away from the rest of the gang so that he could fuck off with Arthur and Hosea to Tahiti or whatever when the Pinkertons finally came and killed everyone but he fucked up playing king with his ranch of bunch of gulible idiots for too long instead of getting out while he still had the opportunity and got the only people he legitimately cared about killed.
Nathan Cooper
I liked Guarma a lot but I was expecting to land in New Austin after returning to the US and have a federal blockade or something preventing me from moving further north for a few missions.
Landon Morgan
Waiting for a PC release when you can just emulate it
Cooper Butler
Everyone boasts about graphics on pc, but whose pcs? Why do they take pride of something they don't have? I highly doubt pc gamers will be able to run this with op's pic related graphics, most of them have potatoes as pcs
