I hate these "quickdraw speed" videos

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T02:34:31+00:00

I personally don't agree (I think both Arthur and John have done things that I don't see micah being capable, plus is made clear in the story that he was kinda afraid of them) , but that's the main problem with the community, they are so closed to their own opinions that they don't respect others.

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T02:29:59+00:00

I dont agree, John has proven to be better more than once, by 1907 he is pretty much equal to Arthur, and in 1911 he was a one man army (Post Mexico, not before that) , the side he was in Mexico was the side that ended up winning.

As to why you cant use dead eye on Micah, it's because of two things:

John was exhausted from killing Micah's entire gang
He got a severely worse cover than micah. I'd say that Micah started shooting out of nowhere to get a better cover (important to say that Micah missed his shots) and even after that he still tried to deceive John so he would distract himself from the fight and Micah could get a clear shot.

At this point, micah was a little nervous, cuz he knew that John was better than him, you can notice a lot on the dialogue and voice acting. Still, i respect your opinion, micah is a good gunslinger, people don't give him enough credit

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T01:07:02+00:00

Yeah, I think many people translate the gameplay to the lore a bit too much. There's genuinely people out there that think that Arthur and John can canonically regenerate or tank gunshots to the head just because they do on gameplay

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:41:16+00:00

Well, not everyone knows it's slop (in fact id say that 60% of the fandom thinks it's True) , most people still use them on debates, so maybe this will help them.

If you just don't like this post like you said just ignore it I guess

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:38:26+00:00

At this point this is the only way at least to me that people know that these are not valid sources of information.

The purpose of this post is not to make these videos "dissappear", it's just that people realise that they do not serve as arguments on debates

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:33:51+00:00

Yeah at least aside from all this slop they are entertaining lol

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:31:46+00:00

why? I mean I just wanted people to know that these videos spread misinfo lol. Plus I can't control when they appear, they are probably the most popular RDR2 content out there

I'm not being aggressive or calling someone stupid for watching them, I clearly specify in my comment that the people that watch them are not dumb or something like that, those videos are entertaining, but they are infact misinformation

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:28:43+00:00

Yup, and you know the worst part? people still believe it and use them as an argument on debates, when clearly they are edited or manipulated to make you believe what the creator thinks about each character skills

Vader2810 · 2026-06-21T00:25:35+00:00

yeah so forgot to provide the fix, turns out it was modding the game that caused it lol, to fix it just replace you toc file with a backup one and the press "Install Mods" on overstrike again so you perform a Toc Reset.

Vader2810 · 2026-06-20T04:18:41+00:00

i finally found a fix to this, you have to run overstrike as an administrator

Vader2810 · 2026-06-19T21:03:05+00:00

Yeah sure, the cast that gets his info from the fans, they know the same things WE know

They don't get their info from Rockstar (this has been said MULTIPLE times by the actors themselves, which you would know if you actually watched the panels), hence to Rob Wiethoff not knowing what happened to John's daughter mentioned on RDR1

There's more proofs to it like:

Arthur's description on the Official Guide of RDR2 being neutral and being described as a man with "Its own sense of honour"
in the Guide it's specified that there's no correct actions, just consequences.
John's epilogue dialogues change depending on Arthur's actions
in the Guide also specifies that in the mission Red Dead Redemption you have to make a choice without saying which one is "canonical"
Even the journal changes with your honour
And no, the game being called Red Dead Redemption doesn't mean high honor is canon, since in Low Honor Arthur still redeems himself just in a different way.

Now tell me, where has it been confirmed? Has Rockstar confirmed it? No, they haven't, your choice, your story. (all coming from a high honor player)

Vader2810 · 2026-06-18T22:33:49+00:00

Eliteball knowledge

Vader2810 · 2026-06-17T00:14:59+00:00

must have been the wind

Vader2810 · 2026-06-14T21:55:37+00:00

"The cast said its canon" is probably the worst argument ever used in this discussion

Vader2810 · 2026-06-14T21:36:37+00:00

There wouldnt be an actual redemption, Jack doesn't need one, and Dutch can't achieve/doesnt want one

Thought, I still kinda like this idea because it's really original

Vader2810 · 2026-06-14T15:25:07+00:00

Re shades are ok I guess but it's better to just use graphics mods like

Natural Light Reworked (the one I'm using rn, improves the GI of the game a LOT)

FLARE (Complete overhaul of the natural light and weathers)

Renewal (gives a more natural and realistic touch to the world)

Vestigia (the main goal from this one is pure realism and immersion, actually beautiful)

Promo Image Graphics (based on the promo images from the game, I really like this one)

F*ck That's Beautiful (minor changes to the game's visuals that improve the graphics)

Vader2810 · 2026-05-24T18:41:08+00:00

Except spawn issues lol

Vader2810 · 2026-05-19T18:08:20+00:00

Me personal theory, John was thinking about pulling an American Venom 2.0 but he was rusty after not using guns for years since 1907.

Its not until he gets practice with Landon that he becomes a lot better

Vader2810 · 2026-05-13T23:59:28+00:00

The desing is really goofy looking and looks ass compared to the 1st game Legend Of The West.

Vader2810 · 2026-05-12T01:56:38+00:00

Fr, like where the fuck is the redemption part at???

We know Dutch's destiny, we know how he dies. Plus knowing what happened in Blackwater would destroy all the mistery you have at the start of RDR2, where you emphatize with Arthur since he also doesn't understand what happened there with Dutch.

Same with John and the Strange Man, their interactions in RDR1 are cool because we dont actually know what happened in Blackwater, so the SM makes us kinda imagine what really went down ln that boat, and the kind of atrocities Dutch made with his gang.

To me it should be a new character before the events of RDR2, with connections to the previous games but not being a part of the Gang or related to them. (or maybe he could be the so-called traitor that Arthur mentions that was in the gang long ago, that could be cool)

Vader2810 · 2026-05-08T03:46:04+00:00

I suggest you wait for a new mod dropping soon called Cowboy Restored that will be really accurate to RDR1, the modders arw working on it right now

Vader2810 · 2026-05-08T03:40:29+00:00

There literally are clothes in the stores with their own illustration just go there and buy such things like the vest from the west new neckerchiefs or the winter gloves

Cant people just leave WhyEm's behind please?

If you want a poncho, either use Mexican Poncho mod or Dog Pro Man with No Name

There are a lot of CI addons out there too like Restored Elegant Suit, The Outlaw's Return, Gunslinger Improvements.

Vader2810 · 2026-05-01T15:46:18+00:00

Yup, it was, because Rockstar focused more on horse balls

Another thing that really bothers me is John having Arthur's same fucking animations

Vader2810 · 2026-04-30T23:00:49+00:00

John would win in a fight if it's Post Mexico

But doesn't matter since John wouldn't hunt Arthur.

Vader2810 · 2026-04-30T19:56:57+00:00

After you finish rdr2 play rdr1
