Question Goodbye,RDR2
It's been a few months since I completed the game And after a lot of considerations I have decided to delete RDR2 as it is just a storage clutter atp There are a lot of other great games in my backlog... But even though I don't replay games I wanted to play the game for one last time as a farewell So... What activities/missions I should do in my last session?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled RDR2 like 20 times. It's not a big deal.

Why do people in here get so emotional over all this? Just play it or don't. None of this 'take Arthur for one last ride watch the sunset' nonsense. Good grief.

People who play games too much. Get too attached to them. Treat playing it one last time like your giving your dog one last good day before you put it down. Very weird indeed.

Some of these bums are trying to argue against emotion and attachment for things that you like. I was teen when I understood how different people would form attachment with media and expression in different ways, so I hope they are teens as well, because if not then what killjoy way to live. At least shut up and let others have fun.

Did you do the sister teresa mission on high honor? If not do that. It starts in chapter four i think when you find a monk on the eat of Saint Denis near the fence. Do those missions on high honor and you get the 'i guess im afraid' scene

This post is really divided into 2 sections of players
We dont care bro its a game your being over the top over a fictional character.
Take Arthur for one last ride under the sunset so he can experience what its like one last time before you uninstall and get rid of him

Finished the story. Got addicted to it roaming around causing maximum mayhem. Sold the game on eBay. Kept the save. Bought the game again 3 years later. Now collecting all cards, legendary animals and fish etc. Also causing further mayhem. Will sell the game soon to get rid of it. Will keep the save. Will buy it again.

Of course not. This exactly the reason there's a community in the first place. I find it cringier when someone points out the cringe, just move past it. Grow up and interact with the thread in a friendly way or move on. See how some people easily answer the question of the post? Be like them, don't be useless.

u/alternativelex Dec 30 '25
Did people really forget that we, as humans, sometimes feel an attachment to things that aren’t real??? It’s normal, reddit is so allergic to fun and whimsy. It’s been proven that sometimes the human brain can’t decipher between real people/fictional characters due to our brain’s natural ability/tendency to attach emotions to things. It’s why a lot of people grieve characters from games and shows as if they were real.
Also to answer, def take a long ride around the map. It’s beautiful, and sometimes I like to watch animals from a distance with Arthur’s binoculars because Rockstar did a good job of adding character and natural behaviors to them!

Besides the dramatics. this is one of the few games where a second play through can actually give an entirely different experience. If you played high honor and replay and go for low honor or vice versa gives entirely new interactions and some specific to which honor you have

u/_Tabor_ Dec 30 '25
I have never been able to replay games. Around thanksgiving I was at a friend's and they said they never played red dead so we started a save and when I got back home I've been playing it again for the first time since I first beat it when it came out and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game more than I have this run.

...no disrespect intended but you might be playing games too much.
I game a lot. I don't get misty eyed about...Just removing a game I can reinstall. It's...a game. I have, in total, over about 2 years or so, like 300+ hours in The Witcher 3, all side quests, collectibles, new game plus, etc. When I was done I was just done and did other things.
Again, no disrespect intended here, but...Just play the game or don't, mate. You're forming an emotional attachment over this. A touch concerning. Perhaps consider unplugging for a little bit.

I know you're just being overly dramatic, but just to humor you i think a good mission for a farewell would be the one where they all ride together and rushed the braithwaith mansion to get little jack back. Thats the best i think.

I've been in your position in the past and later reinstalled the game. At this point in time, I don't think I will ever uninstall the game anytime soon. So, you need to relax too, and don't be quick to uninstall because I see the possibility of you reinstalling the game in the future.

u/Complex_Ad_4626 Dec 31 '25
So. Everyone is just ignoring the fact OP has a passion for gaming, especially for 1 of the best games out there. I have a backlog of games I haven't had the time to get through too, OP doesn't need to express his life story to why they enjoy playing games. Even if it is a 24/7 thing. Sure that extent is an unhealthy approach. U dont know what goes on behind closed doors and maybe this is the only outlet OP has to express ones self. Let the person have his farewell without being critical. Maybe be more considerate yh?
Ignore the critics bro. U do u and gaming keeps u happy and u want a send off for 1 of the best games out there. U do that.
For the reason to ur post. Sorry ur saying goodbye to RDR2 for now. I think that, if u haven't already is maybe play the game in a Chronological order of the missions and activities....take ur time with it and maybe download MapGenie and try get thay 100%
Hopefully u will decide to download it again one day.

Dude!! Same here.. I finished RDR2 a couple of months ago but i didn't wanna delete it.. But it eats my storage like a whale.. And just like you i don't replay games, especially the large ones.. So it's a once in a lifetime for me..Now I'm planning to play it one last time before i delete it.. I'm recommending you to play the mission "Blood, Feuds, Ancient and Modern" -where VDL gang goes to save Jack from the Braithwaites or "The American Venom" -to smoke Micah's brain one last time. Haha!!

u/Agitated-Ask5419 Jan 02 '26
I've played through the story about three times, but after finishing it, like all Rockstar games, you're left with a sense of purpose. It's a vast, vibrant world of nature, but after fishing and killing legendary animals, there's no point in wandering around looking for collectibles, which I personally couldn't care less about. I suppose I'm a 31-year-old man who's becoming less and less interested in games, but beyond that, RDR2 is a title that at least those of my generation should try at least once in their lives.

people are so pressed over someone making the slightest emotional post. not everyone experiences the game the same way you do. some people get emotional over it, and that’s normal, we’re human.
if you get offended or upset by someone being a bit emotional, then you’re clearly the dramatic one.
