The thing I have always found crazy about RDR2 is how you don't even get to see HALF OF THE MAP for the entirety of the main story. Imagine playing a game for 50+ HOURS, and then you're subtly reminded there's an entire other half to the map. Like-hey, by the way. And when you FINALLY see it for the first time? It's fucking incredible. One of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen in any game. The desert is absolutely gigantic and immensely beautiful and it's SO underplayed-it almost feels like an afterthought. An easter egg. You don't even get to see it for nearly the ENTIRE game. This gigantic, sprawling, absolutely gorgeous landscape that's HALF of Red Dead Redemption 2's entire land mass... an afterthought?! An easter egg?? The desert alone would be lauded as one of the most beautiful open-world spaces in the history of gaming... and it just comes off like cut content. It gives you serious "bonus level" vibes except it's like double the game's original area. It's insane. Just crazy. If you know, you know.

I spent more time looking at your horse health than at the landscape.

So this is how the boomers went to school

If you walk across this map, it takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. I did that.

9:19 poor horse 12:21 poor woman 16:00 poor man 19:00 poor woman 22:42 poor man 26:35 poor woman 00:00 - 28:09 poor horse

if you really think about it, the reward for beating this game is that you can basically play an improved rdr 1 with john marston again forever without him getting killed lol

Fast travel to fix Johns weight. Also it's so fricken weird to see New Austin like this in RDR2. I spent so many hours riding across that map. It's a shame there's not much going on there.

*its so far, so far away* Also, it pains me to hear the horses groan like that

Set waypoint Click or hold X until desired horse speed Hold down touchpad or your pov button while pressing X or B for cinematic mode Walk away from controller Eat pizza

Poor horse

Poor horse rockstar really knows how to hit us in the feelings

@9:17 wellllll shittte

Not to jump on my horse or anything but I walked across the map on rdr. No trotting, cantering or galloping and I stuck to the road. Far end of Mexico to tumble weed then straight across to Blackwater. I have to say, it was very relaxing with a good playlist on and it was good to enjoy the scenery. Also yes, I got chased alot by wolves and cougars but I had a shotgun with me✌️

That's how you start a ride. Let your horse 🏇 poop and whizz before going on a long journey like real people do. Whenever family goes on a trip, it's always use the bathroom before start the journey...😊

If you walk across this map, incl. New Austin, it takes 2 hours and 50 minutes. I did that.

9:20 he need some milk

Who i thought the full map would be maximum 20 minutes to cross but its nearly half a hour full with details

It feels like the horse is running 2x of its actual speed.

Game worlds are getting more and more beautiful!

I wish they had an option where you could choose if you want to play as John or Arthur. Honestly I miss the whole gang not being able to go to camp anymore sucks.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), riding across the map can be an immersive and enjoyable experience, given the vast and detailed open world. Whether you're exploring the wilderness, traveling between towns, or simply soaking in the game's atmosphere, here are some tips for a memorable journey: 1. **Choose the Right Horse:** - Different horses have varying attributes such as speed, stamina, and health. Pick a horse that suits your preferred style of travel. 2. **Plan Your Route:** - Use the in-game map to plan your route. Consider the terrain, weather conditions, and any potential encounters with wildlife or other characters. 3. **Enjoy the Scenery:** - RDR2 features stunning landscapes and diverse environments. Take your time to appreciate the scenery, from snowy mountains to lush forests and open plains. 4. **Interact with NPCs:** - As you ride, you might encounter strangers or events that trigger side missions, random encounters, or interesting dialogues. Stop and interact with characters you come across for a richer gaming experience. 5. **Camp Along the Way:** - If your journey is long, consider setting up a temporary campsite. This allows you to rest, cook food, and sleep until morning. Camping also provides an opportunity to save your game. 6. **Hunt and Gather:** - While riding, keep an eye out for wildlife. You can hunt animals for their pelts and meat, which can be useful for crafting or replenishing your health and stamina cores. 7. **Experiment with Cinematics:** - RDR2 has a cinematic camera mode that allows you to enjoy the journey from various cinematic angles. Activate it by holding down the cinematic camera button (Options on PlayStation, Menu on Xbox) and let the game automatically guide your character. 8. **Customize Your Experience:** - Adjust the game settings to your liking. You can choose whether to enable or disable the mini-map, change the display settings, and customize the controls to enhance your riding experience. 9. **Play Along with the Soundtrack:** - The game's soundtrack is exceptional. Enable the music and let it enhance the atmosphere of your journey. You can also customize the playlist to suit your preferences. 10. **Experiment with Challenges:** - Create your own challenges, such as reaching a specific location within a set time or avoiding fast travel. This can add an extra layer of fun and immersion to your ride. Remember that Red Dead Redemption 2 is about the journey as much as the destination, so take your time, explore, and immerse yourself in the rich world created by Rockstar Games.

9:18 I felt that

Lol you rode your horse to Hell. Thing was exhausted at the end hahahaha

My first town i was was tumbleweed, i was playing at my cousin's ps4

The thing that bothers me is that the random events are in your way when you’re trying to speed run or do challenges

This is a longest 28 minutes of my life. No cap

9:18 Must hurt like crazy. Good timing.

9:17 "must hurt like crazy, Easy girl..." BAAAM WTF HOLY SHIT LOL

I remember when this video was at its finest 60k , now it’s 90k . It’s cuz I re-watched it 40k times , each time while sitting on the toilet

Watching for a 1000 times….. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi! I have a question and couldnt find the answer anywhere so I thought lets try on youtube! - ITS FOR PC RDRD2 - So I just got Red Dead Redemption 2 and had to ride a horse, but it was kinda weird? Like W was just walk what is normal but when I press S the horse isnt going backwards + when I press A or D the horse is going faster + when I press L SHIFT the horse does nothing. I dont think this is how it supposed to be? Like riding is impossible like this and couldnt find out how I can fix it. I removed all keyboard bindings and put them 1 for 1 in again. Didnt work.

The dedication is insane

So you can't go into the RDR1 map as Arthur?? Can you clear your bounty there or what?

damn the Steel Ball Run anime is looking good

There is a person who uploaded a video of John Marston walking across the entire red dead redemption 2 map from the southwest corner to the northeast corner. It took 3 hours and 15 minutes.

love the music at 24:00 Roanoke RIdge. Creepiest place in the game :-)

I’m just wondering when the rest of the map is gonna unlock. I’m on the epilogue and it still hasn’t. Seems like a waste. Hopefully it’s not empty as fuck when I get there.

Its 28:00 to travel around the whole map and in flight slimulator 2020 its 50:00 from athens to crete

0:06 the horse was doing something

First comment, by the way i love your video! Keep it up!

Still kind of disappointed I can't play as Arthur

Steel Ball Run Horse Race (c. 1890, America)

These was the good ol days with RDR

Watched this video same time I rode with de Santa to Torquemada arrived roughly same time

Wow awesome video

Imagine the end of the epilogue we jump right at the beginning of RdR1 then play it .

I wanna see this but cantering and in cinematic mode

The map crossing takes almost a half of an hour ,it’s like to cross a middle size city,but in the real life!:))

ThAtS a MiGtHy FiNe HoRsE yOu GoT tHeRe MiStEr!

Does anybody know the theme @9:45? Randomly starts playing after I horse ride a while, catchy as fuck.

do one with cinematic view

If this real life so he travelled between east California to south Illinois.

This is more interesting than my love life

Does this game have multiple endings?

Riding across the whole map just to help a widow how to hunt :)))

Jesus dude, you always treat your horse like that?

I spent all this time just worrying about the horse than actually enjoying the landscape, give him a 2 minute rest dammit.

I'm playing red dead one now!

Me: thinking this is another relaxing ride across the map video Video: 9:17

play with lost saga wild west so epic!

Come on, get it to a thousand likes.

Big map

Is Rathskeller Fork in Red Dead 2?

Poor Horse

nice

Wait they have the old map

Hi, newbie here. I don't quite understand, when you say "Riding across the map" for this video do you mean this is essentially ALL of the Red Dead Redemption 2 world, all in 28 minutes from one edge to the other? Or is there still more land, more scenes, etc?

I refuse to believe this is a smaller map than gta 5

Anyone else stop at the towns during your travel, find a house and then get back driving your horse, randomly steal a wagon and use it so your hors can “rest”, and also steal people’s horses for the same reason.. just me, ok

What chapter do you get acsess to new austin?

Big asf

I feel bad for the horse

Are you playing this game on ps4 pro?

Abusing ur horse..

what is that horse? where you buy it

I’ve reported you and your cameraman to RSPCA. Absolute disgrace.

Me : Using Arabian Arabian : EZ Trip

wait..thats not arthur...

Who else cant get rdr2 so just looks at these types of videos?

It doesn't matter how big this map is in totality because you have to finish the story (and thus, the game) to access HALF--THE--MAP. With the game over, why bother going to New Austin for hunting or treasure finding? What do I need the money for? The game is over. Between West Elizabeth and Tall Trees is a great location for bison where I can complete some of my crafting needs, but again, who cares? The game is over. Why do I need a great satchel or some furnishings for my camp because THE--GAME--IS--OVER . This is so stupid.

9:19 I felt that. Ouch. 🙆‍♂️

Is Mexico in the game?

Steel ball run

Running across the map?

If you’re going to do this in single player at least stock up on horse stamina tonics smh..

14:14 arthur spirit

its ps4 pro or slim?
