Why the Red Dead Redemption 2 Tutorial Is a Failure

Rockstar's cowboy epic might be a game of the year contender, but the Red Dead Redemption 2 tutorial is a filled with pointless objectives and over complicated explanations.

Why do things always have to be so black and white. Either excellent or failure. Always siding up into an opinion using extremes. Was it perfect? No. Was it long? Yes. Dit you learn what you needed? Yes. Does that make it a failure? No

It did its job but could have been better. Man people are so harsh lately.

UnHoly_One2412d ago

That's how everything is nowadays.

Everything to one extreme or the other, just look at politics...

By the way, your post was probably the best post I've ever read in my entire life.

;-)

Zeref2412d ago

nah, people just like to nitpick for clicks

cooperdnizzle2412d ago

Yeah I can’t take it anymore to man. People like us will push it back though.

bignosepig2412d ago

I 100% agree with you. But you're forgetting that people need users to click and read their articles. If they don't make the title sound like the world is ending they won't get enough clicks. Unfortunately as a result of this we are misinformed.

I guess people really have nothing to write about.

michaelknight352412d ago

I know i wish they would come on and put a update to fixed buds in the game

Deathdeliverer2412d ago

I think a lot of stuff should have been explained and unlocked early on. To be SEVERAL hours into the game and still having fast travel locked although the stage coach is right there, guns locked, although I have money for them at the store, and just now finding out how to quick raise a mask is kinda ridiculous.
Personally I think they should have had a young Arthur dream session where you get a lot of that stuff done. In conversations you hear all this stuff Dutch taught him. That was a perfect tutorial opportunity. Hell the game told me ONE time how to auto follow in formation when riding with others and I forgot it. It’s nowhere in the “help” section in game either. I love the game, but explaining things or at least giving you the option to find more help is definitely a weakness. And if I can’t fast travel why not let auto pathing on the horse be possible? Damn I’m to the point that I will turn it off if my next mission is across the map.

Profchaos2412d ago

Auto paths are possible on the horse. Also I unlocked fast travel at about the 4 hour mark but barely use it I find I miss way to many wow moments in the world if I do

Deathdeliverer2412d ago

I don’t move forward until ALL side quest are done. If one pops up after doing a few main quest I won’t do any more mains until the new side quest are done. If I rushed through the main quest maybe but where’s the fun in that? I enjoy the world.

Deathdeliverer2411d ago

How do I auto path the horse? Like I set a waypoint and it just packs me there?

Teflon022412d ago

why's a late unlock for fast travel a issue? I personally hater fast travel in 90% of games.

JackBNimble2412d ago

Fast travel being unlocked at 4 or 5 hours in a 65 hour story driven game, is actually pretty dam good.
And certain guns will be locked if you have low Honor, it's just the way it is.

RememberThe3572412d ago

I still haven't used it yet. The only places I can travel to I have massive bounties in...

badz1492412d ago

the only reason the game got to that "65 hour story" is because they purposely make is slow pace as hell and the gameplay tedious. if everything is fast-paced and fluid like Spider-man, I bet it won't even be 20 hours

Realms2411d ago

I had a problem with the game as well nowhere does it explain that certain aspects of the game like hunting are tied to the main story progression so if you decided to go hunt early on to upgrade satchels you would be wasting your time. I had to research online how to do this since it was never explained in the game. I can see why some people have gripes with how some things where done since they aren't explained. As for fast travel you have to actually buy the map and wait util you relocate your camp something I discovered by accident.

I love the tutorial. It set thing up for an epic adventure.

“Red Dead Redemption 2 tutorial is a filled with pointless objectives and over complicated explanations.”

They explained you how to shoot, loot, hunt, ride horse, talk to the npc, and even how to rob a train. Isn’t that what tutorial is about?

PhantomS422412d ago

It takes 5 hours of extremely slow agonizing annoyances that don't go away after the tutorial. Pretty sure any other game that has released in the last decade had a lynch mob after the developers for making a 5 hours tutorial...but let's continue to give Rockstar a free pass despite someone of huge flaws with the game. Sure it taught you to hunt by following the white trail line in the white snow which made that section unbearable. "Go loot the house" and the second you step in the house "what's taking so long Arthur". Trudge through deep snow and go extremely slow, okay fine it should get faster after we get out of the snow...nope same snail speed through the entire game and even slower in the camp where everything and everyone is horribly spread out. The attention to detail and how well-written characters are is the best part of the game and deserves the praise but outside of that, it's really rough.

Elda2412d ago

Agreed. You can't express how you feel about RDR2 to some of these fans of the game because their not trying to understand your valid point.They want you to know & understand how they're enjoying the game & there are no flaws first & foremost.

chiefJohn1172412d ago (Edited 2412d ago )

Outside of the forced walking in camp it sounds like that's all you not the game cause I don't share any of that. Had no issue follow the trail or looting the house. If those two alone got on your nerves then lol this game ain't for you. If that was a tutorial that was the best tutorial ever. Every tutorial I've played have been boring and I just wanted to speed through or skip.
Eldra y'all points don't be valid

King_Noctis2412d ago

@phantom

You made a great point there friend. It is great for me but that doesn’t mean it would be great for other people.

@elda

Just stop. No one is saying this game is without flaw. You go on every RDR article spouting the same bs.

Jinger2412d ago

But the tutorial isn't JUST a tutorial. It is setting up all the characters, the plot, the events leading up to the current plot. Explaining your key enemies as well as telling you how to play. Plus, it isnt 5 hours until you set up your camp and have free roam. More like 2-3.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Remake Will Eventually Happen According To Arthur Morgan Actor

How much better can Red Dead Redemption 2 possibly look?

RaidenBlack5d ago

*Remaster
not Remake
People still confuse the terms in 2025.

CrimsonWing694d ago

It kills me that at this point they still can’t. Like when people complain that The Last of Us has too many Remasters… when they literally have 1 and then a PS5 Remake 🤦‍♂️

Lionsguard4d ago

Sure, in 15 years maybe. I'm playing it right now and it looks better than most games today.

mkis0074d ago

I think it's not too much to ask for a current gen native version, like we got for gta 5

Lionsguard4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

That's not really a remaster or a remake, it's a patch at most.

Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Is Real, Out This Year

The possibility of a PS5 version for Red Dead Redemption 2 just became a bit more realistic, as the very reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed in his latest predictions podcast that a next-gen version of the Rockstar open worlder is in the works.

On the podcast, he said: "Those rumours are true. Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update and the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year." They go on to say that they were told the new versions will launch "a few months" after Switch 2's release, which is tomorrow. They then speculate a late summer / early fall launch window.

Please please please. My dualsense needs this game.

Aloymetal7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Yup, this game needs that sweet 60fps treatment. Can't wait I hope this is real.

andy857d ago

Be rude not to give it another play. Definitely won't be going for the platinum this time. That was hell 😂

lukasmain7d ago

Lol it was even harder at launch. It took me a very long time. Apparently I've heard they made it easier getting the gold medals for missions in some way. But at launch time it was a pain because after you finish the story and go back to play missions to get the medals, you lose all your perks and abilities, your dead eye level and guns everything etc. You just have the stock standard bare minimum with crap guns. If I had have known they were going to do that, I would have made sure I got gold medals when I was playing the story. But I got it in the end. Pretty sure the trophies would auto-pop on a PS5 version

Cacabunga7d ago

Yes you are right.. you equipment from the main game carried on when you go for gold medals which is always something!
Also the fact you don’t need to get gold on every mission is the big thing.

Still a massive plat and one of the few I am very happy to possess

jznrpg7d ago

Nice! I’ll add it to my collection

aaronlif107d ago

I sincerely hope we finally get a next gen update to this game. It is long overdue. I'd love to see ray tracing and enhanced lighting get added. Perhaps more npc's or animals, ect.
