10 Things Rockstar Must Do With Red Dead Redemption 2

8. Make Towns And Settlements Feel More Alive

The world of Red Dead Redemption was not like Liberty City in GTA IV. It was not a thriving metropolis that Rockstar could populate with a variety of subtle touches and real life attributes to make it feel like an actual city. The world of Red Dead was a mostly barren frontier that emphasized the exploration of nature. And that's okay. Actually, it was one of the things that made RDR so special. That being said, whenever you did encounter a town or settlement in the game it just felt so cold and empty. Much like a desert gas station that claims to be the last for miles, the towns in Red Dead were there to serve a purpose, but lacked much more than that. While these tiny habitations could never match the splendour of a GTA city, they could feel more active and meaningful in RDR 2. By including more instances of people going about their daily lives and even a side-story or two, Rockstar could make these brief reprieves from the game's vast plains feel much more meaningful.
