Red Dead Redemption 2's open world can lead to funny and bizarre cutscene moments, like burned or dead NPCs engaging in casual conversations.
A Reddit user initiated a cutscene featuring Sadie Adler, resulting in John Marston crashing through a saloon window and casually greeting Sadie.
Although these instances may disrupt the immersion for certain players, they are widely regarded as amusing and memorable encounters synonymous with Rockstar Games.
A player of Red Dead Redemption 2 recently shared a humorous moment involving John Marston and Sadie Adler. The game's expansive open world often presents strange occurrences like these, which never fail to amuse both the player and fellow fans.
Within Red Dead Redemption 2, there are numerous triggers for cutscenes scattered throughout its vast world. While most of these triggers are meant to initiate quests or conversations with other characters, they often activate regardless of the preceding events. This can lead to completely absurd or unsettling cutscenes, particularly when a player causes chaos such as setting an area ablaze or triggering an explosion just before triggering the cutscene. Consequently, characters who should logically be affected by the chaos may appear unscathed and engage in casual conversation with the player. While it is uncertain if this specific instance was intentional, the outcome is undeniably humorous.
Reddit user realjacobVEVO, while playing Red Dead Redemption 2, had an amusing encounter with Sadie Adler. During a cutscene, John Marston mistakenly crashes through a saloon window after a daring horse jump. As he lands in the bar, John notices Sadie sitting nearby and casually greets her. The scene is made even funnier by Sadie's surprised reaction, although it is worth noting that this scripted encounter always plays out this way.
Other titles from Rockstar Games also offer funny cutscene entrances, as pointed out by several players in the comments. Grand Theft Auto 5, in particular, has its own memorable entrance that has become a popular time-saving strategy and meme. By crashing a blimp into the Galileo Observatory in Vinewood Hills during the Dead Man Walking mission, players can trigger a cutscene. If done correctly, Michael will be launched out of the exploding blimp and onto the observatory's walkway, initiating a cutscene with the bewildered Dave Norton.
Although some players may find these moments to be immersion-breaking, many see them as hilarious and iconic experiences within Rockstar Games. It is uncertain whether GTA 6 or Red Dead Redemption 3 will offer similar opportunities, but if they do, players will likely discover even stranger methods to activate cutscenes in those future games.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
