Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there's a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w

Uncharted 4 gives fans a greater look at Drake's family, past, and future and delivers some of the franchise's best moments and set pieces. With the Nathan Drake Collection on PS4 and Uncharted 4 recently becoming a Greatest Hits title, there's never been a cheaper and more convenient way to play through the entire series for the first or seventh t

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 beginner Guide world mayhem for which the GTA series is kn

Yes, we understand he was breathed on by Thomas Downes who had contracted the unfortunate disease, but why only him? Tuberculosis is spread through the air and spit, not to mention it was quite contagious back t

The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at

Except she didn’t rat the gang out at all, she lied simply to get a rise out of Dutch. Whether or not she did so to pull off a "suicide by cop" scenario is left unclear (and for the better, honestly,) but it’s one of the more layered, nuanced spoilers in the g

We learn a lot about John through his relationship with Arthur Morgan. And some of these truths were not easy to see or digest. We also learn more about the Marston family, their backgrounds, their relationships, and the impact that Arthur had on the family and their future. Not only is the prequel setting a great way to establish character and backgrounds, but it's also a great way to expand the scope of the series' thematic webs. Arthur's interactions with the Marston family deepen and strengthen the overall umbrella of Red Dead Redemption 's themes, ideas, and stateme

Arthur Morgan always dreamed of a place beyond the gang which was better, but was there really anything out there? His entire life was with the gang and his time spent out of the gang was with a horrible fat

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

Cory Barlog and his team managed to accomplish both of these things and turned Kratos from a one-note angry strong guy into an emotionally complex and relatable father. Doing that isn't easy by any stretch of the imagination and the journey you experience along the way is breathtaking and truly remarka

As the assumed end to Nathan Drake's story came to an end in Uncharted 4 fans were left wondering what was next. This is where Uncharted: Lost Legacy comes in, and boy did it do the beloved franchise justice. The game follows Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross as they try and hunt down the legendary tusk of Gan

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

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

Following the incredibly intense bank heist where major characters die and the status quo is shattered right in front of the player’s eyes, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ transitions into its next, most logical, narrative beat: A shipwreck in a game about cowboys and the end of the American Wild W
