Dan Houser's writing ability improves with each script, so there's no reason to believe Grand Theft Auto VI won't continue this trend. RDR2 really went miles ahead of GTA V with its plot. The western is a serious, somber tale about redemption, while Trevor, Michael, and Franklin's tale is more come
Mary was fairly predictable and they had discussed where they were to run off to, so it can be assumed he could have found her if he wanted to. Instead, he decided to forego the love of his life and stay with the gang inst
The Van Der Linde gang used to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. The gang's gradual decline is never more visible than their partnership with Leopold Strauss. Strauss gives terrible loans to folk with barely any money, and when they can’t pay, Arthur Morgan appears on collections duty. Without a doubt though the gang’s first step to becoming lost was doing business with Mr. Stra
Why? Well, Mr. Valentine was initially a real person whose brain was scanned as a part of his PTSD treatment. In an even weirder turn of events, Valentine used to also be a detective in his former life. This guy's story is filled with equal parts intrigue and insan
The next GTA doesn't need to get as dour as Arthur Morgan's tale, but a black comedy can still have award-worthy dialogue and scenarios. One area that can still be improved upon is the heavy-handedness with which its themes are conveyed. Players are smart enough to understand subtext without having it banged over their he
First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l
It's a neat idea, but it breaks the pacing of missions and grows tiresome after watching the animation for the hundredth time. GTA VI shouldn't even think about adopting a similar mechanic. It would be like having to worry about gas in a car's t
On the outset, Portal 2 comes across like a pretty lighthearted game. Sure, there are mysteries concerning the plot, but there isn't a lot to suggest it is harboring unsettling secrets. Well..spoiler alert..it is. In one of the game's early test chambers, you can find a room covered in weird graffiti, and if you listen close enough, you can hear odd and disturbing chant
Few games have taken the approach Red Dead Redemption 2 has. With the first game being a smash hit, it’s hard to follow up with a game that relates and continues to further the story. Yet that is exactly what Rockstar did here. John Marston was already one of the most complete characters in gaming history, and Red Dead Redemption 2 gave players so much more backstory and reasoning for the events of the first g
Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is huge, but the player can't do a whole lot in it besides sparking chaos. RDR2 adds a ton of depth to the open World Games collectibles itself, letting players inside most houses, and allowing Arthur Morgan to rummage through cabinets. It's understandable to not have access to every building within GTA's urban sprawls, but they should have as many as possi
This name also belongs to the fourth game's infamous serial killer. Abused as a child, Low went on to murder his father, brother, and mother before he began his murderous spree in Liberty City. No wonder GTA V's Low wanted to immediately "clarify" the connection to all who as
The place is a dump when John arrives yet he fixes it up and builds his own home with Charles and Uncle in hopes that one day Abigail and Jack will return. In a letter to Abigail, John writes this line, and it fully represents how far John is willing to go to make things ri
Dutch starts Red Dead Redemption 2 in an honorable light, even after the Blackwater Massacre. His long-time gang members try and defend his actions, but soon enough his true character comes to light. It is quickly revealed that Dutch killed a Blackwater woman in terrible fashion. This deed is followed up with his brutal drowning of Angelo Bronte, and merciless choking of a woman in Guarma. Dutch might have once been an honorable man, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , the player will realize just the kind of man he
Years after the end of the Van Der Linde gang and Arthur’s passing, John, his wife Abigail, and son Jack, are entering Strawberry. John wonders what’s for them there in Strawberry and Abigail states they like honest hard-working men there to which John replies with this classic qu
Sadly, all is not well with each NPC citizen. Yoshikazu Takahashi walks up and down the street each day. However, while the guy looks reasonable enough, his backstory reveals that his company went bankrupt and he gets up every day with a suit and necktie to try to muster the courage to tell his family.
