Black Friday Winter Drop: Use Arthur Morgan truly is at his worst when dealing with the Downes family. It makes certain thematic sense, as Thomas Downes inadvertently gives Arthur TB , which of course, leads to his physical deterioration. In a certain karmic way, Arthur is cosmically punished while at his most morally repugn
Arthur’s assault on Thomas Downes really pushes the limit between “likable playable character” and “hateful protagonist whom players might not even want to control.” While beating Downes for the money, Downes pleads with Arthur and tells him that he has a family. Arthur, ever the career criminal , simply utters, “I don’t care about your fami
Once Chapter 1 is complete and Arthur has run into the Night Folk of the Bayou at least one time, he can come across a RDR2 Stranger mission in the form of an old man sitting at a camp on the road out of Lagras. The man will begin telling stories about the Night Folk – terrible people who murder innocents and have claimed his house for their own. While the Night Folk are more outwardly homicidal than the creepy inhabitants at Red Dead Redemption 2’s Aberdeen pig farm , they still need to be dealt w
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
In one of these timelines, which includes the first four games of the series and the Oracle games, Link is defeated by Ganondorf, the main villain of the story. This is also the only timeline in which the royal family of Hyrule eventually gets the whole Trifor
In Tom’s letter to Nigel, he says ” I saw that bloke Brian Gold the other day, in the market. He said some real odd things about you. ” Perhaps this is referring to rumors of Nigel and Gavin’s relationship, and that they are more than just friends. Even in Nigel’s own words, he admits that ” One morning, I just woke up and he just wasn’t there… someone must have taken him. ” Maybe Nigel knows the bigotry of the 19th century and assumes Gavin was kidnapped and killed for his sexuality. Or, Gavin might have eloped with another cowboy and moved
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 unlike GTA V , its side characters prove just as captivating and interesting. Everyone is given a unique personality, subplot, and/or character arc , everyone has their “thing” and everyone proves memorable – from secondary protagonists Dutch and John all the way down to Lenny and Kie
While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments – both Arthur and John have quickfire wit – it’s the ‘Stranger’ missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them – and Red Dead pulls them off perfec
The Far Cry franchise introduces us to some of the evilest characters in video games . Far Cry 5 offers multiple endings, and all of them seem vague and open to speculation. But the bad ending in this title, however we interpret it, is a big win for the villain, S
A few days later in the same spot, the player can run into the brothers and Regiprocess official Helen again. This time, their challenge of bravery has escalated to withstanding different punches. After three rounds of absorbing blows, neither brother is left standing so Helen decides to cart them a
Sometimes it’s hard to forget just how villainous the Van Der Linde gang truly is. The gang is a relic of a bygone era – an era of cowboys and lawlessness. Now, “civilization” is encroaching, and the cowboys have nowhere else to
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
Ope world video games are one of the best genres for exploring massive game worlds and experiencing multiple storylines throughout them. Many of these games have RPG elements and let the player influence the story and the ending with their choices and acti
Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing – so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod
The original Red Dead Redemption tells one of the best stories in the wild west setting, with memorable characters and a heart-breaking ending. The federal agents kidnapped the family of former outlaw, John Marston , and tasked him with working as a bounty hunter in return for his family’s free
