Summary
ARed Dead Redemption 2player has shared a funny moment between John Marston and Sadie Adler. The open world of the game can lead to some odd moments like these, which often get a laugh from the player and fellow fans alike.
Red Dead Redemption 2includes a number of triggers for cutscenes through the expansive world that it offers. Most of these allow the player to start quests or conversations with other characters, but they’re designed to begin as soon as a player reaches a certain point, often with no regard for what just transpired prior to it. As a result, some cutscenes can be made to look completely bizarre or disturbing by doing things like setting an area on fire or triggering an explosion just before starting a cutscene, leading to burned or dead NPCs holding a casual conversation with the player. It’s not clear if this particular case was intentional, but the results are funny nonetheless.
Reddit user andRed Dead Redemption 2player realjacobVEVO found themselves having an awkward encounter withSadie Adlerby crashing into the middle of a cutscene. After a brief moment of riding across town on a horse, John Marston jumps his horse just before arriving at the saloon, leading to him flying off his mount and breaking through the front window.
As he crashes to the ground in the middle of the bar,John Marson sees Sadie, who was seated next to the window he broke through, and offers a casual greeting. Further adding to the amusement of the scene is that Sadie herself seems a little surprised to see John, which would only be appropriate after the entrance he made. Of course, this moment is a scripted encounter, so Sadie will always react that way regardless of how the player approaches her, but it makes for a funny scene.
This isn’t the only title from Rockstar Games that can lead to funny cutscene entrances like this, as several players in the comments pointed out.Grand Theft Auto 5has its own memorable entrance that has become a time-saving strategy and meme in its own right. Players who ride andcrash a blimp into the Galileo Observatoryin Vinewood Hills can trigger a cutscene during the Dead Man Walking mission. If executed correctly, Michael will go flying out of the exploding blimp and land on the observatory’s walkway, starting a cutscene with a similarly-bewildered Dave Norton.
While moments like these might break the immersion for some players, many find them to be hilarious and iconic experiences of Rockstar Games. It remains to be seen ifGTA 6orRed Dead Redemption 3will work the same way, but if they do, players will likely find even weirder ways to jumpstart cutscenes in those future titles.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
