10 Times Video Games Were One Step Ahead Of You
7. Camp Reactions - Red Dead Redemption 2
Gamers are a bit like cats. Whenever they manage to get their paws on something noteworthy, they like to show off their new trophy to all of their friends and even NPCs in the game.
Usually, the latter form of boasting isn't met with any sort of response, but in Red Dead Redemption 2, the members of the Van Der Linde gang are prepared to welcome all manner of attention-seeking behavior.
Whenever you bring something impressive to camp or get yourself a new haircut or piece of clothing, each gang member will make some sort of unique remark, so you don't feel like you're showing off to a wall.
The number of custom responses you can get is insane. Every time you think you might have found something so bizarre that no one will be able to comment on it, the gang will shower you with unique voice lines and interactions anyway.
It's the kind of attentiveness that Rockstar is known for, and yet it's still surprising to experience it firsthand.
