Red Dead Redemption 2 excels in one department when it comes to realism, and Red Dead Redemption should follow suit in this regard.

Redditor Comprehensive_Tip_13 shared the hilarious clip, which sees Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist Arthur Morgan confronting an NPC, who then points to another character fleeing on their horse. This character then crashes into the player's horse, sending them flying into the dirt. The comedy is compounded by the character's confident dialogue as they attempt to flee, which is cut short by the crash. This perfect timing led Comprehensive_Tip_13 to question whether the moment was scripted or not, although others in the thread confirmed that it wasn't.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Fail Looks Scripted

Considering this moment in-game usually leads to a chase scene, some in the thread saw this moment as a legitimate strategy going forward on their own playthrough. By simply placing their horse in the right place, they can ensure they complete this Red Dead Redemption 2 side mission extremely quickly, which is definitely something positive to take from the situation.

Considering the agonizing wait for Red Dead Redemption 3, it's a good thing Rockstar's most recent installment continues to deliver these kinds of hilarious moments for players. With Rockstar finishing up development on Grand Theft Auto 6 at the moment, there's no doubt that it'll be a while before players get their hands on the next Red Dead Redemption game. As long as Red Dead Redemption 2 remains as entertaining as it currently does, it still has plenty of life left yet, but hopefully, the next Western title is already in the works at Rockstar.
