Arthur is quite the family man. Not long after having Jack, John left the van der Linde in a moment of selfishness and self-reflection. Not much is known about his time away from the family, but one thing is for sure - Arthur was not happy about it. It's pretty clear that Arthur was quite hurt by John's selfish action, as he brings it up about five thousand times in the early part of the game. The family rides and dies together, and John completely abandoned that ideol

In the middle of Micah ordering fellow members around and stating the gang is running out of time, Arthur drops this gem of a quote. The situation quickly turns into the final violent end of the Van Der Linde g

Most Wanted is a different take on Shootout that spices up the experience. Instead of players just running around shooting each other, an extra dynamic has been added. Every kill earns points, and the more kills a player has under their belt, the more points they will give to the player who kills them. In essence, the better a player is at the game, the more likely it is that they will become the "most wanted" player on the map. It evens the playing field because the most skilled players end up being ganged up on by everyone e

John's time away from the gang resulted in a major rift between the two brothers. For much of the early game, Arthur is extremely hostile towards John. He implies that John shouldn't have been welcomed back, he thinks that Dutch is way too kind on him, and he constantly insults John for his selfish behavior and seeming stupidity. You can tell that the two were quite close before John's departure, but that left a major rift that took a long time (and a lot of violence) to m

It's as if Red Dead Redemption 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive met in the middle and tried creating a child. It fails at times thanks to awkward controls, but it promises a great time regardl

Dutch escaped and if you played the original Red Dead you would know the Marston's never truly lived a full life. All of Arthur's attempts at making the world a better place failed and his life was basically forf

It perhaps goes without saying considering John never once mentions him in the first game, but Arthur Morgan does not survive the events of _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ . This is always something to be mindful of with a prequel, but it isn’t as if Arthur couldn’t have survived. It wouldn’t have made for as compelling a narrative, but it could have wor

Players might have finished Red Dead Redemption 2 's long story campaign already, especially given how it was released back in October, but that does not mean the Red Dead experience has to be over. Rockstar Games has slowly and steadily released content for its online experience, Red Dead Onli

This word has been the route of many of Dutch’s craziest actions, and he somehow correlates Arthur saying this to him becoming disloyal. Dutch’s tone of voice changes to something really friendly and states "Of course pal, whatever you think is best." This last sentence is exactly where Dutch decides all his original men have left his side, and he convinces himself both Arthur and John are out to get

Sure, John and Dutch exchange a few words before he ultimately pulls the trigger, but it seems unlikely that their simple exchange was enough to change his mind. Adding to the plot twist, the last words Dutch speaks before shooting Micah just sound so Open world Games online guide-weary. Did seeing John again make him realize the error of his ways? Did he just want to cut off his last connection the old gang and move on? It's never made clear, and that is more than likely by des

With the introduction of Cleet and Joe, no other words can explain Arthur’s feeling. He can’t stand Micah as is and knows he’s whispering poison into Dutch’s ear, and now two of Micah’s allies are in camp

While many members of the gang were close to Jack, it was Arthur who essentially took him under his wing while John was busy pouting. For example, he takes Jack fishing, talks to him with great affection, and gives him a few life lessons. Jack also leaves Arthur candy after Arthur finds a book. Arthur also scolds John for his neglect, and he shows just as much worry after Jack is taken and given to Angelo Bronte. At times, Arthur was more a father to Jack than J

The time Arthur spends in Guarma is a narrative low point. Its only clear purpose is to show how Dutch has cracked, but that could have been done in any setting. Guarma is filler in a section of the game that should have been dedicated to advancing the story, and fast. If nothing else, it doesn’t last particularly l

The gaming world is already full of battle royales , and while Gun Rush is one of Red Dead Online's promising new modes, there is nothing particularly special about it. Up to 32 players have to duke it out in a rapidly shrinking space, and the last one standing wins. However, an important aspect of any battle royale is fun gameplay, and the combat of Red Dead Redemption 2 has always been a little clunky. Gun Rush is a good mode to check out once, but not one many will want to linger
