Red Dead Redemption 2 Mexico and Guarma expansions unite fans

There’s not a lot we can say about Red Dead Redemption that hasn’t already been said before; collectively, both games are superb in their own, unique ways. Yes, there’s always room to debate which is better, the original or its sequel, but what separates them is little else than improved graphics and in-game mechanics, which naturally come with franchises as they progress.

Notwithstanding, fans are uniting under a common banner, one which is aiming to right the minor wrongs that have been done to Red Dead Redemption 2. Chiefly, the inaccessibility of travel without the aid of a glitch, or creating the option to travel to a location otherwise removed from the map.

Fancy a good laugh? then watch these RDR 2 wins and fails!

But how does someone get the attention of Rockstar Games? By an online petition, of course. Jorge Carvalho started the petition some time ago, with their aim to “sensitise Rockstar” into creating DLC which will rectify the aforementioned problems.

“This new DLC would allow the player to go to Mexico without using [a] glitch,” they begin, before adding, “All graphics and textures would be enhanced to the level of the rest of the map. Finally, it would also be possible for Rockstar to provide a boat and the player to make a quick trip to Guarma at any time. We will demonstrate to Rockstar that we very much want Mexico to be liberated and that we can return to Guarma whenever we wish.”

Sadly, the petition isn’t delivering the response that the OP likely hoped for – some fans are rallying, but the petition has yet to meet its next goal of 1,500 signatures. As of right now, the number of signatures is stuck at 1,042, and considering this petition has been running for several years now, I suspect that number will hover around that mark forevermore. I’d like to be proven wrong, though, so I’ll be sure to check back to see if the RDR gods have finally been kind to this passionate but overlooked band of cowboys.

Even if this petition suddenly takes off at neck-breaking speeds, is it necessary? It would further enhance the sequel, however, RDR 2 is already regarded as one of the “best open-world games ever created”. With such accolades, it’s doubtful Rockstar will feel the pressure to “fix” a game that isn’t broken, at least not in a way that's yielding notable backlash.
