With the curiosity in his heart, Jimmy is still continuing to play the game.
Inside a temporary base.
A woman named Abigail asks Arthur to go and find her husband, John Marston.
Finding someone in the snowy weather is not easy.
But Abigail and John Marston are the only couple in the gang, and they also have a child: Little Jack.
However, Arthur finally agrees to Abigail's request, and a man from the gang named Javier goes with Arthur.
On the way, Arthur and Javier look for John Marston together, and they talk about everything that happened in Blackwater town.
Through their conversation, Arthur learns about some of the things that happened before.
In the original plan, Dutch and his gang would have an astronomical amount of money after this job, but it was clearly a failure in the end.
And when they were escaping, Dutch cruelly killed an innocent woman in order to escape smoothly.
Now, they have not only failed, but also lost several gang members, and are being hunted by Pinkerton agents, forcing them to come to this snow-covered deep mountain forest to avoid the limelight for a while.
There are no explosions or gunfights, but the magnificent snow mountain scenes, combined with the movie scenes of finding John Marston.
And the wolf pack chasing them on the way back to the base, still made Jimmy feel a deep shock.
Especially the movie scene in the game, slowly pulled into the distance, showing the vast white snow mountains in full view.
It made Jimmy feel like he was watching a movie.
Defeating the wolf pack in the snow-covered mountains, they rode their horses back to the camp all the way.
In the snowstorm, the distant scenery can be vaguely seen.
After rescuing John Marston, players can now move freely in the camp.
But they can't leave too far, because if they leave too far, the cold weather will gradually reduce the player's health.
If they don't return to the camp to warm up, they will be frozen to death in the wild.
Playing to this point, Jimmy already has a faint guess.
That is, the content in front of him is obviously still the prologue of the game, and the stage where you can really experience freedom has not yet arrived.
After the story continues to advance and John Marston is rescued, the gang leader Dutch and the team members are going to prepare something.
That is the news they got earlier in the stable of the woman named Sadie who was rescued.
They plan to use gunpowder to rob a train next.
Now they are trapped in the mountains, which does not mean they will always be trapped in the mountains.
When they leave here, they will need money.
Now the members of the gang are all panicked.
The harsh environment, coupled with the fact that they are being hunted by Pinkerton agents.
Plus all their money is left in Blackwater town, everyone is very confused about the future of the gang.
So at this time, facing Arthur and facing the gang members, Dutch stands up.
'Hosea... everyone... don't worry, we can get through this crisis, just like before.'
'Arthur, do you believe me?'
'Good, because you know me, son... my plan is just beginning.'
'But we need money.'
'Those Pinkerton agents, they won't find us.'
'Thank you, Arthur, thank you for your support, it means a lot to me.'
'We'll be fine.'
Watching Dutch encourage everyone in the gang in a very infectious tone.
Even though the environment is very harsh now, and even though their situation is not optimistic.
But with Dutch as the wise, old leader who can come up with seemingly reliable ideas at any time, what else is there for them to be confused about?
So everyone listens to Dutch's instructions and prepares to go to the O'Driscoll's stronghold to carry out a surprise attack and find explosives to rob the train.
This seems to be a very trustworthy old leader.
No matter how critical the situation is, don't panic, because Dutch, as the old leader, has a lot of good plans to lead everyone to victory and prosperity.
Is this the leader of the Van der Linde gang?
Jimmy can't help but feel emotional at this time.
As the story progresses, Arthur and his gang quickly arrive at the place where they are going to attack the O'Driscolls' camp.
This is also the first large-scale battle in the game.
Compared to the previous battles on the farm and in the snow mountains with the wolf packs, this battle is more intense.
Most of the members of the entire Van der Linde gang are dispatched.
What amazed Jimmy in the battle was that if he didn't take the initiative to attack, then the enemies would almost be killed by his gang teammates.
In addition to this, Jimmy learned how to use new skills here.
The Dead Eye system, when the player turns it on, can enter bullet time.
After aiming, Arthur will immediately shoot at different characters.
In the time-stopping mode, Jimmy aimed at the heads of four people, and after releasing it, watching Arthur instantly kill the four of them made Jimmy praise in his heart.
The mission was successful, and Jimmy searched the bodies of the O'Driscolls on the ground for money.
Compared to the previous "Red Dead Redemption", Lucas has slightly changed this.
That is, players can choose whether to skip the scenes of collecting and skinning, which was a complaint from the previous game.
Although it is to make players more immersive, players may have a lot of novelty at first, but later, every time they search a corpse, every time they skin an animal, they have to watch a few seconds of animation, which is a more torturous setting for players.
Even many players are caught in a very tangled situation, that is, there are countless small black x's on the mini-map where the enemy's bodies are after death.
If you don't touch them, players with obsessive-compulsive disorder say they feel very uncomfortable.
But if you touch them, then the time it takes to touch the corpses and watch the animations is longer than the time you spend fighting.
So here, Lucas also gives the choice to the players.
In this operation, they not only found the tools to rob the train, but also brought back a unlucky guy named Kieran from the O'Driscolls.
The other party is a member of the O'Driscolls, but the O'Driscolls are different from the Van der Linde gang.
Like traditional Western bandit gangs, the O'Driscolls take in anyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, as long as they are men with fighting ability, and the members are mixed.
And Kieran belongs to the bottom of the O'Driscolls, simply put, he is the little brother who raises horses.
In the snowstorm-covered mountains, although they got the tools to rob the train.
But the gang also needs some supplies.
Such as food.
Next, Jimmy followed a teammate from the gang named Charles, who has Native American blood, to go hunting in the wild together.
Tracking prey, and then hunting with bows and arrows.
All of this gave Jimmy a very wonderful feeling.
It's not like some Western-themed movies, where it's all about love and hate from the start.
"Red Dead Redemption" has only had three battles so far.
One was on the farm, one was in the snow mountains to rescue John Marston from the wolf packs, and the other was the previous attack on the enemy gang.
But it gave Jimmy a very special feeling, a feeling of life.
Completely different from "Beautiful World" that he played before, "Red Dead Redemption" has a very slow pace.
But it doesn't make Jimmy feel impatient, and this slow-paced experience is very tasteful.
Because you can clearly feel that the game is not deliberately dragging the pace.
But because the content of the game is like this.
You can talk to the accompanying companions to learn more about their content.
It seems like a story that actually happened in Western history.
