You have to be unlikable in a Western for your most defining character trait to be the silhouette of your cowboy hat. Bill Williamson was known for having one side of his hat up and pressed against the center. He was also known for being a real big jerk.

Strauss' father, in dyer times, had to trade his 9-year-old daughter in exchange for food for the rest of his family. This broke the hearts of both Strauss, his mother, and his brother. As cruel as it was, it might have been their only option to survive the cruelness of Winter in Eur

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

Arguably the strongest love of Lenny's life was a girl named Jenny Kirk. She was a member of the Van Der Linde gang and unfortunately perished in Blackwater. This was likely a result of the crime the gang tried pulling off before the events of the g

Him being in Dutch Van Der Linde's ear for most of the game led to the many mistakes and mishaps the gang experienced along the way. Micah Bell wasn't looking out for anyone but himself and was willing to let others die just so he could get his. The rat of the Van Der Linde gang belongs at the bottom of every list.

I don't think those are the main issues, but I feel like their presence in tandem with the poor reception of Red Dead Online has a lot to do with the game's relative silence. I was among the few who were excited beyond belief to relive my own childhood: the allure of being a bandit once again with my pals online was too much to bear. But, upon arrival, I immediately felt Red Dead Online was lacking in a multitude of facets. With all these varying intentions converging, Red Dead Redemption 2 became an out-of-place mixture that couldn't tell the difference between complicated and simplicity. Intending on making the game feel as real as possible, Rockstar also made it far too and time-consuming and complex to do anyth

Dutch Van Der Linde was, of course, the leader and founder of the Van Der Linde gang. In it's earlier years the gang provided an outlet and way of life for kids and young adults who didn't have anywhere to turn to. Dutch was always charismatic and could light up a crowd, but something in him changed.

Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to fight its own nature. Perhaps, more accurately, I'm constantly fighting my own nature as a gamer while playing it. Small mishaps always pulled me out of the game, like bumping into pedestrians in Saint Denis would automatically get me wanted, which obviously turned into bloody shootouts every time. The serious nature of the game Esports and its story belied no actual seriousness when presenting topics of immense depth. Rockstar's attempt at making one of the most realistic games falls flat due to awkward button placement, cumbersome menus, annoyingly constant random events, and a slowly-paced st

The game ended up selling over 15 million copies, which was obviously deemed to be an incredible success, with the game going on to become a modern-day classic that people still play today. However, if you thought that was an impressive figure, its sequel managed to destroy that by outselling the original just 12 days after being relea

The faster we approach its one-year anniversary, the less we even hear about the game. False reports of a story DLC made fans excited, though still very little attention was drawn to the game. It's ironic to see more news and excitement surrounding DLC content for GTA Online than any of Red Dead 's updates, which tend to get mocked and ignored. What happened? You would think a game ripe with fantastic graphics, awesome gameplay, and a spellbinding narrative would be enough for players to be immersed, yet it appears this very immersion is what has elicited so much―or, should I say, so little—backl

In Red Dead Redemption 2 Strauss' story directly affects the lead character, Arthur Morgan. Strauss' actions play a big role in Arthur finding redemption in his way as the events of the game unfold. Here are 10 things about Red Dead Redemption 2 's heartless bookkeeper, Leopold Stra
