This aspect connects to the same idea as the lack of a heads-up display. The spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't progression. It's the experience. Whatever that means to the player. In other open-world games, there is a desire for completion. There are quests, collectibles, achievements, and a myriad of other things to finish. Rockstar doesn't want you to complete their game Videos. They want you to live in it. If you're completing something, then you're also moving on to the next thing. But Red Dead Redemption 2 is asking you to stay. So it's not going to help you finish anything. Figure it out on your
However, the reality was that Redemption was actually a spiritual successor of the 2004 video game , Red Dead Revolver, with the main objective being to scale up the game to reach Rockstar's high standard. It did take on many ideas from that original game as well, focusing on the shooting mechanic and making sure the weapons from the game were inspired by real weap
Plenty of games have incredible graphics. Open-world games especially can be some of the most engrossing to move through and study the surroundings. But no other game that I know of has a Cinematic Camera. And they wouldn't need them, necessarily. But Red Dead Redemption 2 wants you to forget that it's a game. Which is possible. Because the environment is drop-dead gorgeous. When you play an open-world game, you usually want to explore because there is a host of tasks left undone that you want to finish. But Red Dead Redemption 2 asks you to seek out the undiscovered, with a slack jaw at the beauty around
The voice of the Austrian bookkeeper is provided by an actor by the name of Howard Pinhasik. Pinhasik happened to also provide much of the physical look for the character as his facial scan was used to bring Strauss to l
You'll be hard-pressed to figure out what you're missing in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The main storyline could be complete and you could have wandered about the wilderness for hours, but you're sure to find something you previously missed. There are so many encounters waiting beyond the horizon. No icons on the map will guide you to every little moment. Make your own moments. And the shroud of uncertainty that blankets what you should do next is thrill
Sometimes open-world games sag under the weight of their content. There is simply too much to do. What's worst is when the same amount of time applied to develop content for the world is not equally applied to create a compelling narrative. That is not the case in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The writing is superb. The characters are fully realized. The emotions are nuanced. The story is believable. Every piece in that puzzle fits nicely, and the result is an elegant tale set in a wild wo
The suit is something that everyone is well aware of, but interestingly, the game originally was going to have this iconic piece of clothing look much different, with the hat not being part of it. While it wouldn't have made any real difference to the game, it's still interesting to know that it almost wasn't considered at
Whether you're looking to jump back into the immersive world of Red Dead Redemption 2 , or you just need some good theme music to cruise around town with your ten-gallon hat on, you can't go wrong with The Music of Red Dead Redemptio
A lot of people are under the impression that Red Dead Redemption is the first game in the series, and at its time of release was a simple stand-alone game that had been created as something totally
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was the perfect sendoff for Nathan Drake — character fans latched onto a whole generation prior. The story follows a retired Drake who is thrust back into the treasure hunting life when his brother — whom he thought was dead — returned to his life. Throughout this, we discover Drake's past, even playing through critical moments of his life as he and his brother race against their long lost friend to find Captain Henry's forgotten pirate treas
Whether it be his facial features or small stature, Strauss looks like the oldest member of the Van Der Linde gang. It turns out that he was two years younger than Dutch's right-hand man, Hosea Matth
Though his name is Leopold Strauss, he can sometimes go by a nickname of sorts. Strauss' nickname is Herr Strauss, and Herr is essentially German for the word Sir. Calling someone sir followed by their last name isn't a nickname as it is a respectful and formal way to address an elder m
While he is the leader of the entire gang, Dutch tends to make decisions that will benefit him in the future. Many factors go into the break up the Van Der Linde gang, but many of them rest solely in the hands of its selfish leader. It gets exhausting from the player’s point of view to always hear that Dutch has a plan, yet they keep getting into worse and worse situati
Uncle spends most of his time drinking and sleeping at camp. He tends to never do the tasks assigned to him. When he does, he barely puts any work into it and complains the whole time. Many of the members view him as dead weight to the g
