Rockstar Games‘ _Red Dead Redemption 2 _ introduces players to a wide variety of intricate storylines and characters, but perhaps none is as interesting as that of the feud between the Braithwaite and Gray families, both of whom are central to developing the game’s overall plot. However, the rivalry is already in full swing when players meet the families for the first time, and it may be hard to discern exactly why it began in the first pl
I work multiple jobs, so I rearranged and reprioritized my schedule to make sure that I was able to spend more of the short amount of time that I have with Declan. The shelter-in-place orders brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic made this a bit more difficult to navigate while working from home 24/7, but I am slowly making it work, often knocking out the majority of my major tasks in the wee hours of the early morning and late at night when Declan goes to bed (since he really doesn’t take traditional naps during the d
The difference between Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto is that the former is one that all ties into one another, whereas the latter is more of an anthology series taking place in different cities and times. It’d be hard for Rockstar Games to find a point in their protagonist’s lives that was more interesting than the events they went through in the game they starred in. GTA VI might take place in Vice City or another city set in a retro era, but don’t expect it to be a prequel to a previous en
I grew up without my father in my life, and besides my Grandpa (whom I looked up to a great deal while growing up,) I never really had a father figure until high school. This isn’t any sort of plea for sympathy or excuse – my Mom did one hell of an amazing job raising and providing for me on her own while teaching me what it means to be a man. It’s merely stated as context for me not _ really _ knowing what it would take to be a
My father only provided me the framework for knowing what NOT to do, like, NOT calling my potential future son a „bad boy“ for crying while being sick. NOT dropping my potential future son off at his aunt’s house when I’m supposed to be spending the weekend with him. NOT having an entire other family with children, and failing to wish my potential future son a happy birthday every single y
The Van der Linde Gang may have ended in a very abrupt manner, but not everyone was met with the fate of death or prison. Numerous members went on to live a life much different than the crime-related one they used to have. If you were invested in these characters, you’re going to want to see what happened to them. Understand though,, that if you want the complete story, you’re going to have to make sure and play Red Dead Redemption as it takes place after the events of its seq
Though it helps make him a more vile multi-Element character, it does become uncomfortable hearing what Micah is capable of. He’s obviously without a moral compass and this becomes crystal clear when Arthur helps Micah escape from the jail in Strawbe
It seems that with every new AAA release Rockstar Games puts out they push the envelop when it comes to world detail, among plenty of other game development facets. Red Dead Redemption 2 managed to crush the level of intricate detail in GTA V , which seemed like an almost impossible task. The world in RDR 2 feels handcrafted in a way that clearly displays how the studio developed a work ethic and culture focused on crunch. The moment Rockstar Games unveils gameplay for GTA VI don’t be surprised if it once again ups the a
A neat water cooler moment that took place while the world dove into Red Dead Redemption 2 was whether or not you as a player were taking care of Arthur Morgan’s hygiene. Players who got distracted, or just didn’t care, could end up with an Arthur who had long hair and the beard of a cave
He says, „I always wondered if I was unlucky…but maybe I’m just not very good.“ On its own, it’s a funny line, but if you take what he’s saying as a reflection of his life, it shows he understands he’s lived an unsavory existence up until that po
I’ve been a gamer all my life. From the Sega Genesis I got for Christmas in 1990, to the PlayStation 5 that will be lovingly adorned on the desk next to my gaming PC, „Gamer“ is a title I’ve proudly associated myself with since I was 5-years-old. I’ve held other titles throughout my life, including Skater, Athlete, and Musician; I graduated college with a Political Science degree, but certainly never considered myself a Student (sorry, M
With GTA Online being such a runaway success in terms of popularity and revenue, it seemingly killed the idea of Rockstar Games ever making single-player downloadable content. Their last two major releases didn’t receive any story DLC despite their previous entries receiving industry-leading DLC content. GTA IV will have a single-player campaign to some extent, but don’t expect it to be as locked-in and intimate as Red Dead Redemption 2 ‚s. Money speaks and Rockstar likely looked for a way to integrate GTA Online into the single-player portion of the g
