Undead Nightmare cleverly threw you into a timeline separate from the main story, in which you play as John Marston as he tries to find a cure for his family's... zombie curse. It was executed with humor and care, and despite merely being story DLC, it's probably the greatest open-world zombie game that we've seen. Think about that for a second. State of Decay and Dead Rising come to mind as distant seconds, and Days Gone might have been the skeleton of something resembling a great open-world zombie game, but we've yet to see one nearly as refined as Undead Nightmare . Rockstar has legitimately made classic games that are add-ons for other games, and for some reason they've decided to stop doing
Although there is much to be said about the gaming experience of GTA Online , not every gamer enjoys multiplayer games. Some might gravitate more towards solo experiences, looking to be moved by the story and gameplay on an intimate level without the distraction of other players. Unfortunately, when Rockstar made the decision to solely focus on the online components of their games, they've stopped giving these players new reasons to come back to the game. Obviously, there is a large handful of hours to be spent in Rockstar's single player stories alone, but narrative additions certainly add a good deal of value to a game, and players miss them. It's clear that focusing on an online platform is the most lucrative move for Rockstar in this day and age, but there is a lot to be said about the quality they used to bring to their story DLC, and it would be great to see them go back to it some
Depending on what area the game Tutorials's story is taking place non-playable characters will also be sporting weather-specific attire, well everyone but Sadie Adler. Luckily, for those wishing to see her in winter gear, she can be seen wearing exactly that in the multiplayer online mode called Red Dead Onli
This happened around a year before the events of the game take place which helps give the gang an interesting dynamic. Players get to see what it's like to play as a veteran of the group in Arthur and interact with someone who's a recent addition trying to earn trust and loya
Look, I get it. GTA Online is a milestone in online multiplayer gaming. It gives you unparalleled action, an incredible amount of game types, and the creative freedom to come up with some pretty spectacular moments of gameplay. It has been running strong for nearly six years now, and new content is still being added all of the time. Despite all of this, online gameplay is not Rockstar 's best s
This has probably happened to most players. Arthur opens the door to leave a building and one starts tapping the mount button as soon as their trusty stallion is in view. Instead of running to the horse however, they tackle a stranger who wasn't even visible. Arthur can't simply apologize and explain the misunderstanding—the stranger would think he's crazy with all his talk about a PlayStation or Xbox controller. The player then has to spend the next several minutes evading the law, probably claiming more lives in the proc
Most games maintain a steady stream of information that floods the screen. Little markers delineating new destinations. A compass to coordinate movement with your position on the map. Reminders for the quest that you're undertaking. Indicators of health, stamina, or any other status that might be necessary. Everything is designed to assist the player and ensure that you're not lacking context. Red Dead Redemption 2 throws that out the window. You're going to die. You're going to get lost. That's part of being in the Wild West. Get used to it. And that perilous freedom means so much in an open-world g
It's already been discussed how close Lenny was with his father and what their relationship meant to him, but how exactly did his father pass? Well, it turns out that Lenny's father was beaten to death by a few drunk
Sadie is a likable character despite having many character flaws, and along the way her and Charles prove to be the closest thing to family, Arthur Morgan has ever had. Hopefully, with her performance as Sadie, Alex McKenna will grace player's ears in numerous games in the fut
Drinking coffee in the morning. Grooming your horse. Taking care of your guns. Talking to the members of your camp. Not all gaming moments have to revolve around epic quests and crazy gunfights. As Zombieland taught us, "Enjoy the little things." And Rockstar has made Red Dead Redemption 2 a mountain of small moments. If you really want to escape into a game, then you have to believe in the world, and the little details that Rockstar has infused into every aspect of the game helps us to forget the world we live in and embrace Arthur's life in Red Dead Redemption
Although GTA Online has been wildly successful, the same can't be said for its uglier, younger stepbrother, Red Dead Online . Although the online platform has moved on from a few of its growing pains, it clearly can't measure up to the undeniable success of its counterpart. Most of this is certainly due to the time period in which the Red Dead Redemption series __ takes place. The fact of the matter is, rocket launchers, airplanes, and sports cars provide for much more entertainment than Civil-War-era guns, horses, and fishing. With the wide range of vehicles and weapons at its disposal, it's no wonder why Rockstar's online layout works far better in the world of Grand Theft Auto . Despite that, Rockstar is giving it all of their effort to make Red Dead Online work. Effort that could quite possibly be put to better use if it were to be refocused on a DLC project that touched on the back stories of characters like Charles Smith, and Sean MacGuire, or better yet, Undead Nightmare 2 , a would-be sequel to the original Red Dead Redemption's near perfect zombie-based story
