Dedication to realism is a good thing, but the developers should remember they are still making a game. Riding a horse is cool and all, but sometimes people just want to quickly reach their objective mar

RDR2 has been out for less than a year, but Rockstar surely must be cooking up their next big game. If we were gamblers, we'd say that next game is Grand Theft Auto VI . Like every development cycle, it is hard to say how they will top their recent masterpiece, but it won't stop any daydreaming about what the title might end up being. The ten entries in this list will look at five things from RDR2 the studio should include in GTA VI , and five things that are better left staying in the old west. For the latter, these mechanics aren't necessarily bad, but they don't belong in the open world games strategy world mayhem for which the GTA series is kn

She was created as a clone from a copy of a doctor's (Dr. Catherine Halsey to be exact) brain. She is one of only two AI to have been created from Haley's mind. Halsey realized Cortana was a bit "abnormal" when the robot removed her termination code. Makes perfect sense Windows would want to name software after this charac

None of this is possible though, without a character with the perfect mesh of personality. John Marston is arguably the best protagonist in all of gaming, a believable man, and a natural creator of memorable quotes. His personality is what helped make the game so attractive, and this list will pay homage to his best lines from Red Dead Redemption

Dutch responds by trying to calm the situation, calling John his brother and his son. John has had enough of it and immediately sides with Arthur. This line is one of a few that catalyst into the end of the Van Der Linde gang, and the death of Arthur as the Pinkertons ambush the camp in the middle of the stand

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

John can acknowledge his flaws in a funny manner, and it becomes even funnier hearing the background to this conversation. The reason for the move to Strawberry is because John shot someone that he claimed needed shooting. Like he said, honest, but not always g

He calls out each member by name except John, whom he asks "Who are You" and in typical John Marston fashion, he answers with this line. In the face of police finding their camp, and the drama involving his son, he still finds the time to talk a little smack to the Pinkert

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

A shotgun could work fine if you can get up close, but the issue is that the Legendary Buck will take off with little notice. Instead a good repeater like the Lancaster is the better choice for quick shots in succession with high-velocity rounds. Using these will a maxed out Dead Eye meter allows you to mark your target enough times to bring it down in one, well-organized att

In a typical video game, you are conditioned to root for or at least care about the character you are controlling. Unlike movies, you have the opportunity to participate in their entire arc, and even help them achieve their goals. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that their goals gradually become your own. However, there are times when the most interesting character is not the one you are playing

Even in the face of adversity and two guns drawn on him, John still declares his loyalty to Arthur stating "Arthur saved my life, more than once". Realizing how dire the situation looks, John stares at Dutch and pleads this quote. He follows up by saying killing him won’t help anything which actually appears to leave Dutch speechless. John follows up demanding and screaming that Dutch say something, anything, and as Dutch stares back he proceeds to shoot Micah in the abdomen, leaving him for John to finish. The redemption arc has finally come full cir

After Dutch convinces Eagle Flies to lead his men to an army controlled oil field for an attack, John utters this line. This comes after John’s escape from Sisica penitentiary, and tensions are at an all-time high. Dutch states he is partially responsible for Eagle Flies attack, and that it is all a part of his p

John fed up with Dutch’s talk, demands What Plan, what Goddamn plan Dutch? It appears John has had enough of Dutch’s beating around the bush. In a mocking attempt to answer his own question John even starts naming locations to run too "Tahiti? Timbuktu?" Javier retorts "Enough what happened to loyalty?" To which John responds "Yeah, What d
