Not playing a game, but feeling a change called 'era'.
Lao Dai has such a feeling in the game.
It is different from the hot and fast pace of the previous "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
The rhythm of "Red Dead Redemption" is very slow, but it is this slowness that makes him feel a real sense of immersion.
Especially every character in the gang is so vivid.
And all the named NPCs in the game have such personalities.
For example, Kieran, who was captured by the Austrian gang during the previous attack on the snowy mountain, also saved Arthur's life in front of the cabin.
He expressed that he wanted to join the Van der Linde Gang, but because of his status as a former member of the Austrian Gang, many people did not have a good view of Kieran.
But it can also be seen that he is trying to integrate into the Van der Linde gang, and unlike the vicious gangsters, Kieran is better at raising horses and fishing.
In addition, there is also Trelawney, who is like a gentleman. This is an old liar who occasionally partners with the Van der Linde gang. From time to time, he disappears for a period of time to attend to his own affairs, but he will come back when the gang needs him.
This time, he came to everyone after hearing the news about the robbery in Blackwater Town, and brought news about a missing member, Sean.
So Arthur and his companions braved the danger of being wanted, sneaked into the surroundings of Blackwater Town, and rescued this little Irish brother Sean.
But what impressed Lao Dai most was not how reliable this Irish guy was, but that he especially liked having bad breath.
Even though he was caught by a bounty hunter, tortured and interrogated about the whereabouts of his companions, the Irish boy still maintained his bad mouth, and was beaten half to death.
After successfully rescuing Sean, everyone in the camp held a welcome party. Except for Sadie, whose husband died and is now a widow, everyone drank happily to celebrate Sean's return.
As a Mexican, Javier played romantic tunes, the lazy uncle sang pornographic songs, and Karen, the blonde girl with big boobs, and Sean, who returned to the camp, slipped into the tent to do some things that could enhance their friendship but are hard to describe. incident, the whole gang fell into a long-lost atmosphere of joy.
Of course, it's all joy, but after all, Arthur Morgan and the others are a group of bandits... well, bandits with ideals.
So soon everyone planned a plan to rob the train together, and it was proposed by Snow Mountain before when they rescued John Marston, who had just recovered from his injury.
At the same time, from some details in the conversation, Lao Dai also understood why Arthur was so hostile to John before.
In their early years, John Marston and Abigail were both orphans adopted by the Van der Linde Gang.
But later John fell in love with Abigail and they had a child together: little Jack.
But John Marston always allowed himself to escape reality, was unwilling to take on the family responsibilities as a husband and father, and left the gang, his wife and children at every turn, which also made Arthur dislike John very much.
But this time John proposed using a tanker truck to force the train to stop, and his robbery plan turned out to be surprisingly reliable.
As for where to get the oil tanker
Of course it was Cornwall who was taken advantage of again.
"It's so miserable in Cornwall." Looking at the information he obtained, Lao Dai was speechless for a while.
Can't we use another sheep to pluck the wool
Why Cornwall again
We have robbed trains before, but now we are robbing oil tankers. Are we going to blow up factories in Cornwall in the future
And it seems that he previously introduced that "Red Dead Redemption" will launch an online mode in the future. If there is no online network mode, the enemy is also Cornwall, right
Lao Dai sighed while doing the task.
But soon, he became a little excited.
Because the next scene of the train robbery is so cool.
Everyone placed the oil tanker on the railway track in advance and set up an ambush in the woods on both sides. Arthur, like the God of War, stood alone on the oil tanker and pulled on his mask, facing the arrival of the train.
Facing the searchlight of the train, Lao Dai's camera switched from the first perspective to the movie perspective.
Although it is Arthur in the game, Lao Dai has already imagined him as himself.
There's no way he's too handsome.
In the previous life, this scene was a tribute to the most classic train robbery scene in the movie called "Death of the Gunslinger".
In addition to these, there are many similar scenes in the game. For example, the snowy drive in the prologue is a tribute to the classic scene in "The Hateful Eight".
However, in the parallel world, there are obviously no such classics, but combined with the game's storyboard performance, it still makes players feel cool.
At least Lao Dai now was completely conquered by this scene.
Even after playing the robbery, he deliberately reloaded and played the train robbery plot again.
However, although the robbery of this train went smoothly, the money was not much, and it was far from enough to allow the gang to fly away.
The free life during this period was soon broken with the arrival of two uninvited guests.
While Arthur was taking John Marston's son, Jack Jr., fishing.
Detective Pinkerton found Arthur and wanted to bribe him to dismantle the Van der Linde gang.
Arthur naturally refused this, but when he went back to tell Dutch the news.
But Dutch said not to panic, everything is under control. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
However, it turns out that Dutch made a wrong decision this time.
The two Pinkerton agents not only found Arthur, they even informed Cornwall, a big capitalist who had been robbed continuously.
And this big capitalist, regardless of his identity, personally brought a large number of armed personnel to the area.
After a bloody battle, Dutch finally understood that he could no longer stay in this place.
After discussion, they could only move their position and sent Arthur and Charles, who had ordinary Indian ancestry, to find a new camp location.
What surprised Lao Dai was the NPC Charles who taught him hunting in the snowy mountains before.
Completely different from the other members of the gang.
Charles could even be considered a good guy.
While searching for the camp, they encountered a group of Germans who were being ransacked by bandits.
Arthur originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Charles said that he wanted to help others if he could.
This is a bandit!
Lao Dai looked surprised.
But good things come to good people. After rescuing the German family, Arthur and the others not only found a suitable camp, but also received a thank-you gift from the German family: a gold brick.
Soon the plot came to a new scene, the town of Rhodes in Lemoyne.
After settling down, Arthur followed Dutch and Hosea to the nearby Rhodes Town to inquire about the situation.
But they unexpectedly discovered that Trelawney was locked in a prison van. Originally, the three Arthurs just wanted to persuade the Sheriff to let him go.
But unexpectedly, he accidentally helped the police chief catch several other escaped prisoners, and established a good relationship with the local police.
However, in this plot, what surprised Lao Dai the most was the widow Sadie.
At first, Lao Dai thought that this widow should be like some of the female relatives in the camp, basically a logistics NPC.
But he never expected that when she went to Rhodes Town to buy some daily necessities, Sadie, who was accompanying Arthur, actually showed a very crazy scene.
Facing the gang that came to cause trouble, Sadie didn't say anything nonsense at all and killed the gang with one shot.
A roadside battle ensued in an instant, with corpses strewn everywhere.
"Damn it, this widow is too strong!" Like Arthur in the game, Lao Dai was also shocked by Sadie's fighting prowess.
Crazy and bloodthirsty is still an old gangster, Micah who doesn't seem to be a good guy.
The leader of the gang, Dutch always has a good idea and a plan.
The little white rabbit who was originally thought to be a weak widow turned into Sadie, the goddess of war.
And Charles, a lazy uncle who loves nature and is good-hearted.
and Hosea, who serves as the brain trust of the team.
These distinctive characters make Lao Dai very curious about the direction in which the plot of "Red Dead Redemption" will develop next.
