Aside from breakdowns of levels and gameplay interactions, this collector’s edition also boasts extensive walkthroughs, maps, a reference section, and a pervasive index for all the ground you’ll cover. Last but not least, it has an extensive art gallery devoted to the aesthetic of outlaw life in the Wild W

There's more to detail than inside environments too. If weather had an effect on the city, or parts of it were destructible, it would go along way towards making it feel alive. A Shenmue level of realism isn't expected, but it should strive for something more than what it has done in the p

This second moment not only completely distances John from Dutch, but it also shows the whole gang how corrupt Dutch has become. This is the moment where Dutch’s gang completely falls apart and he loses everyone but the most loyal memb

In the game’s actual final mission, John Marston hunts down both Micah Bell and Dutch van der Linde. At the end of the mission, he’s confronted with Micah but is saved by none other than Dutch. Dutch’s motives aren’t ever explained and he leaves John without a proper resolution. All the same, it’s a shocking, surprising note to cap the gameplay w

Complete your gaming room with these high-quality video game posters from _ Red Dead Redemption 2, _ evoking the high contrast, pigment-packed posters of classic spaghetti-western films from the ‘70s like _ The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly _ or _ Fistful of Dollar

Quiet and reserved, Charles Smith is a more recent addition to the gang. He is a deadly but honest and competent man that is unbeatable in a fight. Smith is also courageous and sympathetic, a wonderful kind of guy to have as an ally. ISFPs, also known as adventurers, are passionate and daring folks who are always reinventing themselves and surprising the ones around them. They enjoy connecting with others and have a certain charm about them that is hard to forget. ISFPs are sensitive to others' feelings and are usually selfless. These traits are all ticked by Charles Sm

Dutch 's journey from inspirational leader to unhinged despot desperately trying to gain control is one of the most fascinating stories in Red Dead Redemption 2. It's one of the linchpins of the entire campaign. Throughout the game, as Dutch's plans are continuously foiled, he begins to turn away from his most loyal followers (Hosea, John, Arthur, etc.) when they start questioning his leadership in favor of the villainous Micah Bell. Who never questions him at all, we should n

During one particular fishing trip, they are ambushed by Agent Milton of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. After a series of light insults, Milton reveals he killed former Van Der Linde gang member Mac Callander, to which Arthur responds with an icy chill saying this quote. It's enough to stop guns from being drawn, but keep the tension at an all-time h

So grab your hat by the Pinch and Crease and pull up your stampede string, you have cattle to rustle, trains to hold up, banks to rob, hearts to break, and Pinkertons to outrun! Good thing you have a trusty hat to set the mood for outlaw

She doesn't show up in the epilogue, and the only hint about her ultimate fate is a letter you can receive from Tilly. It implies that Karen eventually succumbed to her alcoholism. What actually happens is never made clear. For a game that is very deliberate about its Open World Games Collectibles and its characters, it's strange that the fate of one of the most prominent women in the camp is made unclear. This has led many to believe it's a noticeable omission from the developers. Are they planning to do more with the character in a future game or DLC? Only time will t

Arthur responds with this classic quote. Since the time Dutch basically adopted Arthur, to all the years spent with Hosea and John, just to end it all and side with Micah. It is one of Arthur’s most powerful lines because the player can feel the pain in Arthur’s vo

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

_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ places a careful amount of emphasis on how Dutch treats Molly throughout the game. Whenever she has a potential mission, Dutch always supersedes her. He ignores her and even belittles her a bit in spite of how much she loves him. When she ultimately rats out the gang, it frankly only makes se

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
