Arthur can take quite a beating, including falls from what one would think to be fatal heights. Usually though, he is fine. When he falls small distances, he does it silently. But leap from a high enough point and he starts screaming for his l
The problem with Bill is that because Dutch helped give his life meaning and purpose he's loyal to him to a fault. Even when it's clear as day that Dutch and Micah are steering things in the wrong direction, Bill never serves any push back.
When you sit down to play an open-world game, a to-do list usually builds until you have item after item that you need to cross off the list. One quest leads to another. Or more likely, one quest begins only to be derailed by the introduction of another quest or an errand that you need to run or a dungeon you've never seen before. Have you ever just wanted to start your morning by sitting down for a cup of coffee? Small details in Red Dead Redemption 2 really ground you in the world. There's not always a quest to finish. You may spend your days wandering and not really find a quest. And that's o
Although GTA Online has been wildly successful, the same can't be said for its uglier, younger stepbrother, Red Dead Online . Although the online platform has moved on from a few of its growing pains, it clearly can't measure up to the undeniable success of its counterpart. Most of this is certainly due to the time period in which the Red Dead Redemption series __ takes place. The fact of the matter is, rocket launchers, airplanes, and sports cars provide for much more entertainment than Civil-War-era guns, horses, and fishing. With the wide range of vehicles and weapons at its disposal, it's no wonder why Rockstar's online layout works far better in the world of Grand Theft Auto . Despite that, Rockstar is giving it all of their effort to make Red Dead Online work. Effort that could quite possibly be put to better use if it were to be refocused on a DLC project that touched on the back stories of characters like Charles Smith, and Sean MacGuire, or better yet, Undead Nightmare 2 , a would-be sequel to the original Red Dead Redemption's near perfect zombie-based story
It shouldn't come as a surprise that the oldest member of the Van Der Linde gang also happened to be the resident bookworm. Hosea loved reading and had an appreciation and love for crime novels above all e
In Grand Theft Auto , one could catapult themselves through a car windshield if they crashed in the right way, serving as a public service announcement on the importance of seat belts. Unsuspecting horse riders in RDR2 found themselves jettisoning off their steeds if they ran into a fence or tree too f
The Van Der Linde Gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 is comprised of numerous walks of life with people of all different backgrounds, criminal records, and past traumas. Dutch may be the group's leader, but many feel Hosea Matthews is the man who held it all toget
Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't care about other games that have come out in recent years, and it doesn't defer to successful models when deciding how to present an open world to the player. The game can be obtuse. It can be difficult. It can be incredibly slow. But, in spite of all that, Red Dead Redemption 2 exists as a breath of fresh air among a crowded field of open-world games. There is an unforgettable atmosphere. And players who stick around will perceive the immense level of care in the game tutorials's design. Rockstar went to absurd lengths to bring the West to our screens, and they did a damn fine job. Here's how Red Dead Redemption 2 broke the mold with open-world ga
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
When you have to travel in an open-world game, speed is essential. Style, though, is something oft-overlooked. With that in mind, let's pay homage to the humble horse. The beasts are faster than humans. Horses look much cooler when they gallop. A man riding a horse looks suave. A man that isn't riding a horse is just, horseless. And let's not forget that you can ride them while using the Cinematic Camera. Because nothing says traveling in style like riding a horse while admiring the panoramic views. Horses are the b
Even if you have never played either Red Dead Redemption game, it's clear that horses play a major role, and to ensure that the movements were as realistic as possible, the creators went above and beyond. The team actually motion-captured a stunt horse, which isn't the easiest thing to do as they managed to record as many possible movements, although this brought with it plenty of probl
When you think about how much money the Red Dead Redemption series has likely made for Rockstar, it is crazy to think that things originally began with Capcom instead, with Red Dead Revolver starting its life with the comp
