For whatever reason, despite clearing setting up a meaningful arc for Kieran, absolutely nothing happens with him until his demise. He has no story relevance, his side missions never delve into who he is, and the gang never properly accepts him. The only weight he has is the implication that Dutch is deliberately using Kieran as a martyr to influence the gang. Other than that? Kieran is was
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, so we all know how the story is going to turn out. We know what will happen to the Van der Linde gang. Every happy moment becomes sad knowing the eventual outcome of the plot. It’s like every footstep led downwards into this puddle of gloom. Thanks, Red Dead Redemptio
Red Dead Redemption II is an awesome game. One I’ve been pouring over for more than a week now. I’m discovering new things every day as well as the larger community of fans out there. Compared to most open world games, discovery is actually a tricky thing because travel is actually really taxing. Before I get to share some unique mechanics, treasure, and quests, let me complain a bit further about the fast travel system. A system I have posted my frustration about twice now with my two earlier articles. If you missed my piece on things that don’t make sense in the game, or my article on things I wish I knew before starting, well then please, take a gander at those. Anyway in order to properly make my point clear I thought it best talk about last year’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wi
Rockstar Games announced a few weeks back that Red Dead Redemption 2 had been delayed from its Spring window and would officially be released later this year on October 26. In doing so, it became the first game to really drop into the Fall window of releases with a firm date. You can be sure that other companies took careful note of this late October date — even the one that annually has the highest selling game.
There are many people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Van der Linde gang has some new faces to see and new stories to learn. It’s a bit of a shame that in all of these meet-and-greets, we lose the opportunity to delve into the personalities of characters we knew from the original Red Dead Redempt
I felt pressured numerous times throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 to care for the Van der Linde Gang. My campsites keep reminding me to socialize and donate my money to the comfort of the group. I must have sunken thousands of dollars to make the gang ha
Like I said in the last entry, Red Dead’ s got some supernatural flair. None are more in-depth than RDR1 ‘s Undead Nightmare . It was a standalone expansion to the original game that added in entire modes, campaigns, and cosmetics. And RDR1 was already packed with content on rele
Any game where I get to ride an animal automatically earns itself a boost in my esteem. If I’m playing a game set in the West, you can bet your buckles I expect to ride a horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 horses Dead Redemption 2 gives me plenty of opportunities to do just t
Challenges in Red Dead Redemption II are utterly nightmarish. Not only are there 90 of them now, they require such accurate precision to pull off that you’ll actively need to go out of your way for hours on end to complete them. This is to say nothing of the Gambling challenges which require actual RNG to win in the later entr
Almost every single mission in the second game ends with Arthur in a shootout. Rob a bank in complete stealth? You’ll alert the law somehow and end up in a gunfight. Herd some cattle? Gunfight time. Just want to hang out with a friend for a bit? A massive gunfight between all parties involved. Combat just doesn’t feel special anymore when every mission ends up the s
This is the big category and the line-up is strong this year. God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 seem like the most obvious choices, but Marvel’s Spider-Man might also swoop in for a surprise vict
Bigfoot has been synonymous with Rockstar games since 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . There is a picture in your house fans thought was a clue to its discovery, but it wasn’t in the game. This continued into the first Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto V and is back yet again for this g
I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2’s release didn’t have as big of an effect as I’m pretending it would, it’s obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that’s why they’ve pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.
Surprise, surprise, there are UFOs in this game. It’s pretty easy to find once you know where to go. If you travel northeast of the second N in New Hanover, you’ll see a lake. Once you’re there you’ll find skeletons inside a cabin in a scene straight from Fallout 4. There’s a cryptic letter that talks about other beings coming back for them at 2 A.M. If you go back inside at that time, you’ll see a ship fly above. Is this a clue for the DLC? Will we see cowboys and aliens duke it out? I hope
