A few of my favourite moments with Rockstar’s Purple Useless Redemption 2 concerned putting out on the dusty plains, with nothing however a pleasant horse to hold me and a bundle full of products. I’d take heed to the light clip clop of my horse’s hooves and easily benefit from the environment. These quiet moments are beautiful, however what if there was a way more harmful different? What if each time I left Dutch’s camp, I used to be assailed by horse-shaped missiles and out-of-control carriages? It is a query few players are courageous sufficient to ask, however it’s really a sight to behold.
Streamer Blurbs created a mod that makes it so “all wagons and horses journey at tremendous sonic speeds. It’s now a horror recreation.” Blurbs posted a supercut of some moments on his X account, and it’s really terrifying. Making an attempt to get into city? You’re gonna get wrecked. Out on the steppes? You’re not secure; a carriage would possibly careen previous you at any second. Navigating a crowded city heart like St. Denis appears completely not possible. It’s chaotic and ridiculous, within the type of comic Tom Walker’s playthrough of Grand Theft Auto 4 with an ultra-speed mod enabled.
Whereas Grand Theft Auto is doubtlessly extra harmful, for the reason that streets of Liberty Metropolis are slim and crowded with automobiles, it seems just like the austere historic setting of Purple Useless Redemption will be simply as dangerous. In a 12-minute video demonstrating the mod, Arthur is thrown into the sky, crushed beneath hooves, launched over the plains, and set on hearth.
All the video has the texture of the opening hours of a horse apocalypse film. Passersby slam into pillars, our bodies are hurled up into the air, and the residents of the west are in a continuing state of terror and alarm. Personally, I’d be fairly upset too if my horse had the facility to fling me midway throughout an entire metropolis. There are additionally some wild physics mods which are triggered by a rowboat, and Blurbs is ready to ship his poor victims up within the air, flying in an infinite circle powered by a glitched rowboat.
This video has some prime antics, and whereas I treasure the serene moments of quiet I discover in Purple Useless, it’s fairly enjoyable to observe unbridled chaos unfold in Blurbs’ playthrough. Rockstar has constructed a giant, attractive world — only one that’s maybe greatest loved at a stroll.
