To its credit, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in a smoother state than most other open world games out there. Compared with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, it runs like butter. Glitches are still in there though, and happening upon one is always hilarious. One may spontaneously fly off their horse or fall through the geometry. As long as the bug doesn't corrupt a save file or hinder progress, they are always a good t
Scarlet Meadows has quite a few plains to explore, especially with its connection to the Heartlands in New Hanover. As such, the dry and rocky climate makes the Legendary Coyote an easy spot, as this dark gray coyote isn’t exactly a threat, and is noticeable enough that a quick bullet to the head or an arrow through the body will drop it quic
In a gang of thieves and murderers, Hosea Matthews seems to be the most level-headed one. As one of the co-founders of the Van Der Linde gang, Hosea is usually the one Arthur can go to for advice. Many of the gang’s smartest decisions were usually made by Hosea as w
The Legendary Fox has a beautiful white coat that would make it rather camouflaged in the snowy fields of Ambarino, but luckily this Legendary Fox is located in Scarlet Meadows of Lemoyne, where it can be found roaming the forests near Mattock Pond. While it’s sleek and agile against the many trees of its location, it’s also a fairly weak animal that any Repeater can easily k
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
Charles Smith is underrated and underappreciated in the Van Der Linde gang. His ties to his Native American heritage become invaluable later in the crew's story as working alongside a tribe becomes the focus of Arthur Morgan's empathetic nature as he courts death.
You have to be unlikable in a Western for your most defining character trait to be the silhouette of your cowboy hat. Bill Williamson was known for having one side of his hat up and pressed against the center. He was also known for being a real big jerk.
There are some video game hardware Reviews villains so charismatic that we love to hate. Then there’s Micah Bell, a conniving, snake-like character that we absolutely despise. From the very first time we’re introduced to Micah, we already loathe
Arthur can take quite a beating, including falls from what one would think to be fatal heights. Usually though, he is fine. When he falls small distances, he does it silently. But leap from a high enough point and he starts screaming for his l
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterclass in character-driven storytelling. With this sequel, Rockstar created a band of memorable characters and personalities that all clash together perfectly. This being the wild west, there are going to be characters we both love and loa
The problem with Bill is that because Dutch helped give his life meaning and purpose he's loyal to him to a fault. Even when it's clear as day that Dutch and Micah are steering things in the wrong direction, Bill never serves any push back.
However, if you got to know B.J., you'd find that he's actually a very nice person once you wash away all the gore. He's very loyal to both his country and his wife, he's vehemently against racism and fascism, he'll do anything for his friends, and he has strong family values (although he did kill his dad, but that guy sucked, so it's alright). Everyone he runs into who's not a member of the Third Reich eventually takes a strong liking to old Blazko, and while being a one-man army probably helps with that, we like to think it's also due to the fact that he's just a stand-up guy. There are only a few badasses in gaming who seem like they would willing to help you move, but B.J. definitely seems like one of the good ones.
Particularly, the character loves shouting out "sure" with his trademark twang. Fans everywhere now impersonate it at every possible moment. Heck, some probably do it without realizing. Now, people can't help but notice it when playing. At least it rarely happens during the game's more dour mome
Once he gets sick, he goes even further into correcting past mistakes and trying to make good with anyone he feels he hasn't treated properly. Even though he's supposed to be a degenerate black hat-wearing villain, we're pretty sure we could leave our wallet around him, and not have to worry about losing any change. He's someone we would love to go drinking with, because not only would be a ball to hang out with, he also somehow has the ability to turn a bar fight into a dancing chorus line . That's the kind of dude we want to ride with.
Not every hero needs to be some cigar-chomping, expletive spewing stereotype who can't hold a conversation without blowing something up and then throwing out a pop culture reference. Some actually seem like pretty nice people, the kind you might want to take to mini-golf or play laser tag with. These are just a few of the badasses that we wouldn't mind inviting over for Sunday dinner.
