Following up the record-shattering Grand Theft Auto V was no easy task, but Red Dead Redemption 2 surpassed it with relative ease. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, stated that within the first eight days of its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold 17 million copies . That may not sound like a lot, but it's much more than what Red Dead Redemption sold in the 8 years of its existence. Intriguingly, not a mere five months after the game's debut, Take-Two Interactive's share prices dropped 20% with investors worried about the game's level of engagement. This highlights the reality plaguing Red Dead Redemption 2 : downplaying satisfaction. Intelligent investors knew that Red Dead Online was never going to be on par with its cash-grabbing cousin, GTA Onli

There are some video game villains so charismatic that we love to hate. Then there’s Micah Bell, a conniving, snake-like character that we absolutely despise. From the very first time we’re introduced to Micah, we already loathe
Wild boars are often a nuisance, and the Legendary Boar that stomps through Bluewater Marsh isn’t really one player can see a distinction from other than its dirty light brown hair. The Legendary Boar has quite a thick coat, so it’s going to take a few hits, but try not to let it escape as hunting it on horseback is going to be troublesome with alligators and Night Folk skulking ab
The beginning of Red Dead Redemption 2 starts very slow as it peels back the layers of what the world Rockstar Games created is capable of presenting. Very early in the game, as the Van Der Linde gang is looking to survive a brutal winter, they come across Sadie Ad
Therefore, it’s clear that he’s kind of selfish. To make matters worse, many of his planned missions will end up going south, especially the Riverboat heist. His personality also tends to be annoying to most players. Many players don’t miss him when he disappears for large portions of the g
Though Lenny never had the chance to do right by Hosea, they ended up being buried side-by-side. This was foreshadowed earlier in the game when both Hosea and Lenny say they want to be buried next to frie
Red Dead Redemption 2 raised the bar for storytelling in big budget, AAA titles. Arthur Morgan's journey is unlike anything gaming has ever attempted before. The narrative is beautifully somber and emotionally impactful. The game play usually complements this vibe, with the shooting feeling heavy and the long horse rides giving players time to mull over the character's situation. Other times however, the gameplay results in unintentional hilarity. It is an open world game after all, and player freedom always leads to comedy gold. Here are ten ways this masterpiece is unintentionally hilarious, both in gameplay and in the st

Here are five members of the Van Der Linde gang that we love, and five that we can’t st
