TheRed Dead Redemption 2community online has been discussing what they believe to be the most frustrating missions in the whole game. There are so manymissions inRed Dead Redemption 2, but Rockstar does an amazing job at making pretty much all of them a memorable experience, frustrating or not.
Thestory ofRed Dead Redemption 2is known as one of the most tragic ever told within the medium, rivaling games such asThe Last of Usfor the title. It speaks to the quality of Rockstar’s writing, that the developer is able to get players as invested in Arthur Morgan as they are in John Marston, the protagonist of the original game. It’s a slower-paced story than many will be used to, leading some to believe that a lot of the missions can be frustrating to play through. With the bigger picture of the game’s story in mind, it was a genius move by Rockstar in hindsight.

Redditor Imaginary-Picture-35 started the thread, which started a broad discussion in the subreddit with a variety of answers. The highest-upvoted suggestion was any of the bounty missions with Sadie in theepilogue ofRed Dead Redemption 2, with users claiming they just wanted to build a house and shoot rats instead. The epilogue of the game is certainly a change of pace, so it’s understandable that many might not acclimate to it after spending so long playing as Arthur.
The definition of frustrating is entirely down to point of view, with another user claiming the mission where players rescueRed Dead Redemption 2antagonist Micahfrom jail is the most frustrating. In a first playthrough, it’s one of the most interesting and action-packed missions in the game, but it’s definitely understandable that knowing the ending of the game changes a player’s perspective on this massively. It’s certainly frustrating watching Arthur help someone who doesn’t care about him at all, essentially signing his own death warrant.
There’s no doubt that the missions inRed Dead Redemption 2have made players have a strong opinion, one way or the other. It’s the highest praise that can be given to the game - it’s pretty much impossible for someone to come out ofRed Dead Redemption 2feeling indifferent towards it. When it comes to creatingRed Dead Redemption 3, Rockstar certainly has a high bar to clear, and it will be difficult to do so after long-term writer Dan Houser left the studio a few years back. Only time will tell if someone else can step into his shoes to put out another Rockstar classic.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
