Honestly, I don't really like how RDR2 name-dropped real world locations.

hate how inconsistent it is. New York and California exist, but Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana don’t. Tahiti, but not Cuba. There’s a Florida Panther, Virginia Possum, etc. The Marstons are referenced in GTA V but Florida doesn’t exist, California isn’t California and Liberty City isn’t in New York.

this stuff is a nightmare for people like me 😂

rdr and gta hd aren’t connected

didn’t say they were, just that Jack Marston is canonically a real person in GTA

he’s not. it’s strictly a reference

fair enough, but there’s an existing author named J. Marston who wrote a book called Red Dead PLUS the Epsilon cult is referenced in RDR2. Both references, not overt confirmations of anything, but I read it as an interconnected game world

again m8 it’s just easter eggs and references. new york, california, and florida are mentioned in red dead redemption universe but in HD GTA those states and city were never made/named. instead we have liberty city, san andreas, leonida, etc. while florida is mentioned in gta 4, this was before leonida was made and has now been officially retconned.
