Red Dead Redemption 2: The Complete Official Guide Collector's Edition Hardcover – October 26, 2018

great if you like these books

This guide is truly amazing. I mean, BEYOND what you can imagine.But I want to point out something else that is not standard these days… there was an issue with my order and I contacted the seller to address it. They responded very quickly, were very polite, and offered a quick and fair resolution. This seller deserves recognition.

I use this book every time I play the game it's amazing how much you miss in games like these if you don't have a book like this it has everything in it I have been truly impressed 😁 definitely recommend

Like with most Rockstar Games that come out I always try to find and get the collector's edition strategy guide. This goes back to my days with GTA: Vice City when they were made by BradyGames which got folded into PrimaGames which is now sadly going out of business they stated middle to late 2018.Now this edition doesn't come with posters, art cards or anything like that like others, instead the quality lays in the construction and layout of the guide. With so much content to cover with a game boasting 70 hours of game play alone with single-player story. This guide will cover everything as it is as of writing this that is covered in the game. Collectibles, Story arch, Points of Interest, Random events and challenges to name a few. 350+ pages that cover literally everything in-game (excluding Online) with the last part of the guide serving as a art of Red Dead Redemption 2 with character art at the very end.The quality of the pages alone is worth the money, nice and thick art style pages that don't show prints and will not damage or tear easily like in some paperback versions of the guide. Locating and finding what you need is easy as the layout of the guide is well thought out, the Primer in the beginning of the guide shows you how everything is label and even sub-labeled to make finding and exploring the guide really easy.The book is created and published by Piggyback Interactive who before this guide came out I never heard of previously, but the job they did writing and creating this guide is anything to go by, I will be hoping they make more game guides in the future as this was totally worth the money.

I wasn't sure whether to order this book because part of the fun of playing a game is discovery and figuring out what is what. But this game in particular found me wondering what to do next in so many places. I searched the built-in Help system and got some answers, but they were often incomplete. There is a lot of free info online, but I didn't want to sort through it all and didn't want to week through hours of help videos. This is a HUGE game with a lot to discover and I didn't want to waste any more time being frustrated on how to accomplish a particular thing, or determine the best way of doing something. This book fills that need very well.This book is a reference and consists of 386 full-color illustrated pages. The 7 chapters include: 1)Primer 2)Missions 3)Exploration 4)Atlas 5)Weapons 6)Items 7)Extras.Each chapter has numerous sections or sub-chapters which are too many to list here.This book is LOADED with useful illustrations, charts and tables that visually describe each part of the game. Along the right column of each page is a "locator" which indicates the chapter and section that you are currently on.If you love the RDR franchise but have been frustrated with the game, then this book is for you. You can quickly lookup whatever is required to get you back on track enjoying the game. It's filled with tips, tricks and lots of detailed information that you can lookup quickly so you can focus more on having fun. In some ways it compensates for what the game should never have lacked in the first place. But I have found it a useful reference to get me back on track.

This is an amazing guide for an unbelievably clunky and overmade game. I hate to say that compared to the first RDR, this guide is an absolute necessity! Beautifuly made guide, thoroughly and meticulously constructed game advice! A must have!2 gripes:1) There’s so many sections and it’s so long, there should be divider tabs labeled for the big sections. I hate struggling to flip from ATLAS to a challenge section and then to look up an animal’s habitat. Would be much easier with tabs.2) While the atlas section is a wealth of information, the maps for some of the challenges, dream catchers for example, are so small that you can’t pinpoint the exact location easily. Maybe those maps should take up 2 pages.Other than that, if you’re stubborn like me and want to complete all challenges and side missions, this guide is an absolute must. Also, stubborn bc I hate this game but i started it and I shall see it through!

This game is massive. Other than completing story objectives, there is much to in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 including sidequests, upgrading weapons, finding treasure, and creating custom ammunition. This guide provides detailed descriptions of how to fulfill all of these objectives. It also provides a series of maps which is immensely useful for navigating the world as well as finding treasure. RDR2 has a "Total Completion" feature which is tied to exploring the world to completion. In order to attain "Total Completion" the player must achieve a variety of objectives in the game such as photographing all wildlife and attaining many hard to find collectibles scattered throughout the world. I can't imagine trying to go for "Total Completion" without a supplement such as this and if I ever return to the world of RDR2 I will be glad that I still have my official guide to help me along with the process. I would say that the only minor complaint I have about this guide is that it doesn't have any coverage of Red Dead Online (which is essentially a game in itself). That being said, if the player completes story mode first their should be little problem in picking up on the mechanics of Red Dead Online since the two games play very similarly.
