In the expansive world of Red Dead Redemption 2, strange and hilarious moments are bound to happen. One player recently shared an amusing incident involving two of the game’s characters, John Marston and Sadie Adler. The unpredictability of the game’s open world often leads to comical situations that both players and fans find entertaining.
Cutscenes Gone Awry
Red Dead Redemption 2 features numerous triggers for cutscenes scattered throughout its vast open world. While most of these cutscenes are meant to initiate quests or conversations with other characters, they often start as soon as players reach specific locations, regardless of what just occurred in the game. This can result in cutscenes that appear absurd or even disturbing, especially if the player decides to set the area on fire or cause an explosion right before the cinematic begins. In such cases, the player may find themselves engaged in a casual conversation with burned or deceased NPCs. Whether these bizarre situations are intentional or not, they never fail to bring laughter to players and fans.
An Unexpected Encounter
One Reddit user and devoted Red Dead Redemption 2 player, realjacobVEVO, shared a delightful encounter with Sadie Adler by accidentally crashing into the middle of a cutscene. The amusing incident began with John Marston galloping on a horse through town. Just as he was about to reach the saloon, he decided to execute a daring jump, leading to him and his horse crashing through the saloon’s front window.
Amidst the chaos and shattered glass, John Marston found himself lying on the barroom floor, face-to-face with Sadie Adler, who had been seated near the window he so dramatically crashed through. Despite the unexpected entrance, John greeted Sadie casually. What makes this scene even more amusing is Sadie’s seemingly surprised reaction to John’s unconventional arrival. While the player’s actions don’t influence Sadie’s scripted response, it adds a humorous touch to the situation.
As some players pointed out in the comments, Rockstar Games titles are known for producing comical cutscene entrances like this. Grand Theft Auto 5, another creation by Rockstar Games, features a memorable entrance involving a blimp during the “Dead Man Walking” mission. Players who ride a blimp into the Galileo Observatory in Vinewood Hills can trigger a cutscene where Michael is catapulted out of the exploding blimp, landing on the observatory’s walkway and initiating a cutscene with a similarly bewildered Dave Norton.
While these moments might break the immersion for some players, they are cherished as iconic and humorous experiences of Rockstar Games. As we eagerly await the release of games like GTA 6 or Red Dead Redemption 3, it’s safe to assume that players will continue to discover even more unconventional ways to kickstart entertaining cutscenes in these future titles.
