Red Dead Redemption 2 forever changed the gaming landscape, and those changes will be long-reaching and will reverberate in this industry for years. So what is it that makes Red Dead 2 so exceptional? Is it the scope? Is it the characters? Is it the graphics? Is it the truly engrossing tale of a wild west posse on a scary downward spiral? Yes to all those things. It is a perfect storm of gaming, where every element that factors in helps make it even more powerful. With that being said, it is safe to say RDR2 has forever changed gaming, and here are ten things that prove that to be t

This palm-sized killer is a rare Cattleman’s revolver that’s perfect for hunting small and medium sized animals. It’s the prized gun of Flaco Hernandez, a gunslinger defeated in a duel at Cairn Lake with a capacity of six rounds. The gun can only be obtained through a successful completion of the Gunslinger Mission and if you don’t pick it up next to your rival’s body, the gun will later not be unlockable. It’s a delicate little silver gun and you’ll only have one chance to get it, but it’s worth dueling Flaco until you can get the better of

It is, however, discovered towards the end of Chapter 6 that Micah Bell, one of the gang members, has been feeding information to the Pinkertons. So, this part is half-true. While he isn't a "spy" -- as he remains loyal to Dutch until his death -- he does get revealed towards the end of the game as working with them.

Dutch, a man with a vision who becomes a lunatic with no moral compass. Sadie, who starts the game as a sort of victim and proves by the end to be the most dedicated and strongest member of the group. We even get more insight into John Marston (even Arthur makes fun of the fact that he can't swim, which is meta and genius). To have non-lead characters with arcs more interesting than most games leads really says so much about this g

It has been almost three months since Red Dead Redemption 2 released and people are still having so much fun with its gameplay (I'm one of those people) as it has become a video game that is practically impossible to put down. There is so much to do in this open-world game and the story is top notch. Red Dead Redemption 2 maps Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to the first game, telling the tale of what exactly happened to John Marston's old gang, and we play most of the narrative through the eyes of Arthur Morgan, right-hand man for leader Dutch van der Linde. Alongside Morgan, we travel through the bittersweet narrative with a fresh pair of eyes, falling in love with the setting all over ag

While this weapon does have some decent accuracy and reload speed, its damage really lets you down. This weapon is mostly used for hunting down medium to large prey and can help you out in a shootout with a large group, but you will most likely have something better on you for fighting. It seems to be a waste to just have a weapon for primarily hunting animals instead of a multi-purpose weapon that can hunt and fight inst

Now, this bad boy is crazy fun to use. The Maxim Gun packs a real punch and is basically a cowboy minigun. When you get to use it, you absolutely dominate the fight and it feels amazing. However, the problem is that the Maxim Gun is so rare you barely get to use

Sphincter sirens are a normal part of everyday life, so when they are included in a video game, they make the world feel ten times more real. Who would have thought that passing gas could be used so precisely and elegan

If you get your hands on this stuff, do not let it go. Not only does it replenish literally everything including your Dead Eye, but it also fortifies them. That is the most overpowered thing ever, like jeez, d

Just those opening couple hours in the snow made you grab a blanket off the back of the couch to wrap yourself in, feeling like the cold was biting while you played it. Add to that the frankly stunning weather effects and particle effects and you have what just might be the prettiest looking game ever m

When I first started playing Red Dead Redemption 2 , I thought the bandana was a useless piece of equipment. Even though I wore it during crimes, lawmen still seemed to know that it was Arthur Morgan who committed t

Completely free and a well-rounded sniper rifle? Count me in! This rifle is not to be messed with. Not only is its accuracy 3.4/4, but it has the damage to match. It has an almost equal level range as well, which almost makes up for the slow reload and rate of fire. Your enemies had better quake in their boots if they see you rolling up the block with this rifle because you are about to kick some cowboy behind. I haven’t come across another weapon this powerful yet and it blows my mind (I’m sure your enemies will feel the same soon enou

And though that ending was a kick to the soul, it was meant to be, and needed to be. Arthur's death is fully symbolic of the death of that time in the world, the death of the west. He was old-school, and as you know, his world was no country for old
