Emmet Granger is a gunslinger-turned-hog-farmer, and he’s keen to teach Arthur a lesson in hog care before he will tell him anything about Jim ‘Boy’ Calloway. Arthur reluctantly agrees, which sees him spend a good couple of minutes picking up pig manure while trying to wheedle some stories out of Gran
If there’s one thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 is often criticized for, it’s the sluggish pace. The game is very meticulous in its tone and pacing, resulting in long stretches of serene horse riding (some may say boring stretches), needlessly extended animations when foraging and skinning animals, cooking food and crafting items,
The entire town is in complete disrepair, complete with crumbling buildings , collapsing docks, and even a sunken boat just resting in the water. The site is also quite unique in that its citizens serve as the local police force, shooting anyone (like the player) who makes trou
Van Horn is easily one of the most unique locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 , even if spending time in it makes one feel dirty. Amongst all the towns, villages, and cities in Red Dead 2 , Van Horn is arguably the most decre
Her quest for revenge against the O’Driscolls serves as a subplot that reflects the themes of the main story, and the depth of character Sadie brings to both narratives was one of the most impressive parts of RDR2. With Alex McKenna, the voice and motion capture actress behind Sadie Adler, recently saying she would love to reprise the role for RDR3 , it’s worth considering what such a campaign would look like. Between Sadie’s transformation into a bounty hunter in the events of the epilogue and her speaking to John about how she would like to live in South America, both provide ample material for a potential seq
No matter where a player goes on the Red Dead Redemption 2 Weapons Dead Redemption 2 map, they are bound to come across something interesting – be it a fun random event, or a beautiful sight. But these are the absolute best of the best areas to vi
The world found in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a gorgeous one indeed. However, some people have been critical towards the map, often pointing out the long slogs between locations, the general emptiness and barrenness, and lack of things to “
But this is a Rockstar game, and Rockstar games aren’t known for having morally sound protagonists. Depending on how he’s played, Arthur Morgan can be downright unlikable, as is evident through these horrifying li
Tied with the “sluggish pace” criticism of RDR 2 is its strict adherence to realism. Some people find this an artful intent, others think it needlessly frustrating. To some, the game’s weirdly strict adherence to realism overwrites its sense of fun, limiting imagination and creativity (not to mention slowing the pace to a snail’s cra
GTA V stands out in the Rockstar canon for its experimentation – specifically, the three protagonist system. Rockstar took a major risk in making three protagonists and forcing the player to cycle between them. It could have been horribly sloppy and confusing, and it could very well have ruined the g
Continuing such a journey would require Sadie to seek new help and operate outside the law once more in the foreign country, making her yet another incredible character faced with moral quandaries, and could bring her in contact with one of Red Dead Redemption ‘s best characters , Landon Ricketts. The wily old gunslinger played a major role in John’s expedition through Mexico, and he could play a similar role for Sadie, providing both fan service for players and sage advice for Mrs. Adler. Ricketts’ message for John about jumping from one side of the fence to another would be just as relevant for Sadie, and could foreshadow her eventual decision as it did John’s downf
Arthur Morgan is a misanthrope at heart. He just really hates people. It’s possible to antagonize random people on the street, and sometimes Arthur will ask them, “You want trouble?” This will either result in the person pleading with Arthur to stop or chastising him and fighting b
It doesn’t get much better, or more unique, than Saint Denis. Red Dead Redemption 2 is primarily concerned with the approach of modernization and civilization, and Saint Denis is its physical embodiment. It’s by far the largest city in the game, its streets packed with wagons, pedestrians, and hor
There’s a ton of stuff to do, and the New Orleans-inspired architecture is simply magnificent. It’s also home to some great missions and subplots, and its billowing black smoke portends dangerous things to c
Who knows how they figured Helen would be into men who can have bottles shot off their heads – but it’s pretty fun being the independent adjudicator for their constant one-upmanship. Plus, in the end, the twins become best friends again – so all’s well that ends w
She would have to choose between capturing her bounty target who she has pursued so vigorously or finally escaping to South America, both of which would be closer than ever before. Whether Rockstar allows players to make the final choice or takes the reigns to finish the narrative, _Red Dead Redemption 3 _ would already have told a story worthy of the franchise. Similar to the uncertain future that awaited Jack Marston at the end of the original, Sadie’s tragic journey is already a frontier tale regardless of how it e
