10 Things Rockstar Must Do With Red Dead Redemption 2

7. Have More Substantial Side-Quests

In Red Dead Redemption, if you didn't feel like engaging in the game's campaign, it instead was kind enough to offer you a variety of other activities such as bounty hunting, animal hunting, plant picking and gambling. On their own these activities were fine enough, but collectively they lacked the creativity and engagement of the side quests in games like GTA V and GTA: San Andreas. With the exception of the stranger-related side quests in RDR, there was very little creativity to be found in the game's activities. Certainly you can't have a cowboy playing tennis, going bowling with his cousin or dropping by the bar to play darts, but it feels like the old west had more entertainment to offer than just shooting foxes. Whether its buying and operating businesses like in Vice City Stories or perhaps engaging in some Pinkerton Agency-type detective work, there is a lot more that Red Dead Redemption 2 can offer players when there is otherwise nothing to do.
