ARed Dead Redemption 2player online has noticed a mind-blowing detail about the game’s fishing activity. Although for many players fishing will just be a side activity inRed Dead Redemption 2, this goes to show how it can be every bit as fulfilling as the rest of the game.
At this point, it’s no secret thatRed Dead Redemption 2is one of the most detailed video games ever made. Rockstar’s attention to detail is second to one, and despite the game being five years old now, no other game has come close to matching it. Even now, new details about the game are being discovered all the time. Just recently, one player pointed out animpressive Wapiti detail inRed Dead Redemption 2. No matter how big or small the feature, it seems like absolutely everywhere players look, there’s an example to be found of Rockstar going the extra mile to improve immersion.

Redditor bdpyo pointed out that whilefishing inRed Dead Redemption 2, if players keep hold of a fish for too long after catching it, it will die in Arthur’s arms. While this is a cool detail by itself, it doesn’t stop there. Arthur can keep the fish as normal, or he can choose to lob the dead fish back into the water. In the clip posted by the user, he even comments on the dead fish, saying “Bit late to release him but… sorry.” It’s just another example of how Rockstar has thought of every possibility that players can get themselves into and provided a solution. This is what creates such an effective illusion of realism in the game.
Players looking toimmerse themselves inRed Dead Redemption 2might find that the fishing activity is one of the best ways to do so, but it’s only because of Rockstar’s incredible attention to detail that this is so effective. What could have easily been an afterthought from the developer is shown in this clip to have just as much love and care put into it as the rest of the game, and that’s exactly why players keep coming back to it half a decade after it was first released.
IfRed Dead Redemption 3has even half the detail of its legendary predecessor, then gamers are in for a brilliant time when it finally releases. The timeline on this remains unknown, but there’s still a lot of positive news to keep in mind. It seems that aremaster ofRed Dead Redemptionmight finally be on the way, with the strongest rumors in years that Rockstar is looking to bring its 2010 classic to the present day. WithGrand Theft Auto 6still likely a couple of years away, andRed Dead Redemption 3seemingly even further, it could be the perfect way to bridge that gap.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
