It is no secret that the GOAT team are big fans of Rockstar’s latest masterpiece, Red Dead Redemption 2.
From weird flying horses to a fishing mini-game that will eat up all your spare hours, RDR2 isn’t just a game, it is essentially a life simulation cranked up to 110% that just happens to be set in the old west.
Hell, there’s even a mission where the whole aim is to get drunk with your buddy.
But in a game filled with more highlights than an early 2000s boy band, I just stumbled across what might be its biggest “hell yes” moment: feeding a KKK leader to a grizzly bear.
For those who are unaware, you can randomly come across a posse of dimwitted KKK members trying to burn a cross (and failing) in RDR2 and you can kill them without any loss of honour or in-game consequence.
Since RDR2 is also a game where you can hunt down anything from rabbits and beavers to cougars and bears, some genius decided to get a little creative by capturing a KKK leader and setting a grizzly bear loose upon them.
It is exactly as crazy as you think it is.
From tracking down the group of KKK idiots and hogtying up the leader to finding an actual grizzly bear and watching it go ham on ol’ mate, it’s like watching The Revenant but you’ll be fist pumping the whole way instead of looking away.
The only explanation we can think of in regards to Fortnite beating RDR2 to Game of the Year at the recent Golden Joystick Awards is that the judges had no idea you could make a RDR2 KKK leader role-play Leo DiCaprio’s role in The Revenant.
Combine this with the flying horses and getting stupidly drunk, we really don’t see any other argument for not handing all remaining Game of the Year trophies to Red Dead Redemption 2 right now.
