History has become a steady source of content for the gaming industry. While fantasy driven worlds and far off galaxies still hold a lot of weight in the community, game franchises like Assassin’s Creed , Fallout, and Call of Duty all draw inspiration from or context from our world’s historical events to drive their plots home. From traveling through Ancient Greece and Rome to the horrors of World War II and alternate realities where pop culture stopped evolving but technology didn’t, leading to an all-out atomic war, history is one of the biggest sources for creative inspiration in regards to the video game indus
It does seem like there will occasionally be a warning of the danger to come, though. A horse with an erect tail standing on the road can be a sign of imminent combustion, so if you happen to see one, get re
Announced details for the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 , along with extra pre-order bonuses for all three versions and a unique assemblage of real-world collectibles inspired by the g
Any game where I get to ride an animal automatically earns itself a boost in my esteem. If I’m playing a game set in the West, you can bet your buckles I expect to ride a horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 gives me plenty of opportunities to do just t
In the West Elizabeth arc during the first game, Dutch mentions plain and clear that John was legally married to Abigail. John fell in love with her and the two were wed while they were in the gang. There is nothing to dispute this. Come the second game, they are indeed married, except not rea
Hand manufactured from the antler of a stag, a part of the blade seems to have snapped off near the crossguard. The weapon can be found near Hanging Dog Ranch in Big Valley, where a scene plays out of a massive fight between a large bear and a hunter. It would appear neither one of the fighters survived the encoun
If you’ve been looking forward to unlocking the Repeating Shotgun in hopes that it’s something of an AA12, I’m sorry to disappoint. The Repeating Shotgun in Red Dead Redemption 2 is somewhat disappointing, particularly when compared to the pump-action and semi-auto. It does the same amount of damage as the pump-action, but it lacks its accuracy. Despite being a repeater, it also has a slower rate of fire than the semi-auto. Is it worth its $185 price? Absolutely not, sa
So buckle your holsters and saddle your horses, for we are about to embark on a most treacherous journey. Here are some flaws in one of the most popular games available today. The going will be difficult, and we may suffer the slings and arrows of staunch Red Dead supporters, but we’ll take it nice and easy. Read on if you aren’t afraid to laugh with me about some of Red Dead Redemption 2’s most nonsensical aspe
Every once in a while there’s a bug in a video game that really raises your hackles. Red Dead Redemption 2 has one of these bugs, and man, is it spooky . At a very specific part of the story, you and your gang are riding towards a town to check it out. Along the way, while riding your horse, the faithful companion may actually spontaneously combust. That’s not necessarily the end of your horse (provided you have the right supplies with you), but it’s certainly enough to make you get out of the area like your tail is on f
In this article, we’re going to talk about which two weapons you should have to hand, and which ones you shouldn’t bother with. The game has far more weapons than it seems at first glance, and some of them you definitely don’t want to be charging into a gang hideout with. There are a dizzying variety of shotguns, rifles, repeaters, pistols, revolvers, even melee weapons, despite it seeming like there’s only a handful at the start of the game. Not all of them are worth bothering with. For instance, that varmint rifle you get? Don’t even try to use that in combat. Instead, switch to a pump-action shotgun, a bolt-action rifle, or a pair of trusty Volcanic Pistols. Without any further ado, let’s begin the countdown: apologies if I slaughter one of your sacred c
Realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm’s reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go here a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a red alert. Regardless, I think they’ve probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They’ve made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that’s something that’s definitely being achie
Alright, back to the funny bugs. While this one doesn’t quite launch you and your horse to the moon, it’s certainly high enough to make coming down again a harrowing (and a final) experience. Found by Reddit user MyCustomUsername, they were on the run from law enforcement when they made the mistake of running their horse into a seemingly ordinary little hill. The hill is, apparently, anything but ordinary , and in no time at all they (and their horse) were launched dozens of feet into the sky, just to come crashing back down to Ea
