Peter Blomquist is the voice actor responsible for bringing the vile and despicable Micah Bell to life. In entertainment actors who can make audiences truly hate their characters who were written to intentionally invoke disgust don't get enough cre

The most infamous quote in Red Dead Redemption 2 is Dutch’s constant reassurance of "I have a plan." Okay Dutch, please tell us what your plan is. We ask because almost every other plan and job we’ve done has just made things worse. Instead of just accepting that maybe his plans need more thinking, he just sits there and complains that nothing is working. He’s just so shocked that killing a high-profile industrialist actually has consequences. He’s also pretty upset when he realizes that robbing a bank in a large town would somehow go wr

This one is particularly troublesome, or hilarious, in the online portion of the game. The mission is done and the players start making their way back to the mission giver or a drop-off point. They are quietly strolling along when suddenly a player manages to get themselves knocked off the side of a cliff or flung off their equine. Maybe they themselves didn't bite the bullet, but the prisoner or bounty they were holding probably did. Some of these targets are fragile as glass once they are sitting atop the back of a horse with their hands t

However, despite how natural Wiethoff seems in the role, he wasn't actually Rockstar's initial choice to do the job, as the company originally hunted down several big-name celebrity actors instead. The major name considered for the role was none other than Clint Eastwood, which makes sense given his history with the Western ge

Within the game, there are wanted posters all over the place for various characters, which really adds to the whole design and Western feel, with some being storyline driven and others simply being for set design purposes. However, Rockstar actually created that many posters that there were loads that ended up being unused so who knows, maybe they ended up being squeezed into the seq

In Red Dead Redemption , the Elegant Suit is possibly the most iconic look in the entire game, and it is something people will be very familiar with as it is needed in order for you to 100% complete the g

An often overlooked, yet essential aspect of a good visual narrative is the music. Whether it be a movie, television show, or video game, if the story contains some type of emotional element, it becomes the music's job to drive that element home. If you played Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 last year, you experienced a story with a fair amount of emotional complexity that challenged the themes of loyalty, morality, and freedom, and did so in a way that resembled nothing short of a masterpiece. Like most stories of this nature, an enormous bow was needed to tie all of those layers together and create an experience that was just as moving as a movie you'd see at the theater, or a television show that you'd watch at home. Woody Jackson's The Music of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Score serves as that metaphorical bow, elevating the Game Rankings to be the immersive, unforgettable experience that is Red Dead Redemption

To its credit, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in a smoother state than most other open world games out there. Compared with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, it runs like butter. Glitches are still in there though, and happening upon one is always hilarious. One may spontaneously fly off their horse or fall through the geometry. As long as the bug doesn't corrupt a save file or hinder progress, they are always a good t

Like Jack Gleeson who portrayed Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones, Blomquist does an incredible job at making players which nothing but disdain upon their character. Fans may never forgive Micah Bell, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't appreciate Blomquist's performa

The suit is something that everyone is well aware of, but interestingly, the game originally was going to have this iconic piece of clothing look much different, with the hat not being part of it. While it wouldn't have made any real difference to the game, it's still interesting to know that it almost wasn't considered at

Lenny's primary weapon is a custom Cattleman Revolver which seems to proudly display his pride in his heritage and likely is a symbol of his father and mother's ability to overcome adversity as a slave. The custom weapon has both an ebony grip as well as a black steel fr

It's already been discussed how close Lenny was with his father and what their relationship meant to him, but how exactly did his father pass? Well, it turns out that Lenny's father was beaten to death by a few drunk

Luckily there are no horse speeding tickets in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Still, I’d rather pay $20 than having to constantly hear everyone yelling at me to slow down. Yes, sometimes players can go a little too fast in a town and run someone over. That’s understandable. What’s not understandable, however, is how you can try to go as slow as possible to be polite, but then some random NPC sitting down on a bench will tell you to slow the hell down. Sorry, but it’s really difficult to make this horse do baby st
