Arthur Morgan does so much for the Marston family. He rescues John in Chapter 1, takes Jack fishing in Chapter 2, gets Jack back in Chapter 4, helps save John’s life at the start of Chapter 6, rescues Abigail from Milton in the final mission, and gives his life so that John Marston can inherit his legacy in the Epilo
You’ll figure out pretty early on that there are certain items you get that it seems like you just can’t sell to anybody, which can be a shame, because a lot of these seem to be pretty big-ticket items. So what are they good
Following on from the last entry, here’s another really handy little timesaver. If you’re deep in menus, as it’s very easy to be in Red Dead Redemption 2 , you don’t need to manually back out of each individual one. Instead, the easiest way to get out of them is to simply hold down Circle/B, instead of tapping it. This drags you all the way out of them, returning you to gameplay instantly. Quite why the game doesn’t tell you this, I have no i
If Disney was included in this game, why wouldn’t a reference to another popular franchise be a part of the game? If you head to the North East of Bacchus Station, you will run into an interesting home . It looks as if it grew right out of the land its
In a rage, Molly arrives at the camp only to reveal that she ratted out Dutch to Agent Milton. Miss Grimshaw shoots her and the gang is left to recoup. The problem is, Molly lied. Micah was the real rat which Milton confirms. So why did she admit to ratting them out? Honestly, there’s no fully acceptable reason other than narrative intervent
We’re in an unprecedented year where we’ll get to see gaming’s highest selling annual franchise face off against the developers behind history’s highest sold game. It’s going to be a fun fight to watch, but come October, I think I’ll put my money on the cowboy.
How do you fancy being able to circle strafe around enemies while riding your horse? If you want to channel your inner 90s FPS protagonist and combine power and maneuverability, you can! All you have to do is hold down Square/X and a direction on the X-axis. Another little bit of advanced equine tactics for you: if you want to do a sharp 90-degree turn, you can do so by holding down R1/RB and hitting a direction on the X-a
Wait, I hear you say, “a viking hatchet?” Yes indeedy! There’s a Viking ruin in the game located just across the river from Annesburg, to the northwest. In the middle of this tomb, near an altar, you’ll find the viking hatchet. Wielding it not only lets you get your Ragnar Lothbrok on, but also packs a massive punch. It’s a throwable that does quite a bit more damage than your standard throwing knife, while also looking very, very cool ind
By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they’ll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead . It’s essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.
If you’ve been looking forward to unlocking the Repeating Shotgun in hopes that it’s something of an AA12, I’m sorry to disappoint. The Repeating Shotgun in Red Dead Redemption 2 is somewhat disappointing, particularly when compared to the pump-action and semi-auto. It does the same amount of damage as the pump-action, but it lacks its accuracy. Despite being a repeater, it also has a slower rate of fire than the semi-auto. Is it worth its $185 price? Absolutely not, sa
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 Strategy 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.
Well, a little bit into the story, you’ll find a fence that’s willing to buy stolen caravans. What you don’t find out right away is that they will also buy a lot of stolen valuables, and they are the only place to buy certain items, like lock breakers. They’ll also allow you to craft things you can’t anywhere else, like trinkets and talism
Speaking of Dutch, isn’t it a bit odd that everyone in the game calls the gang “Dutch’s Gang?” On a surface level, it makes perfect sense. Dutch is the figurehead. He is the man who makes all the big speeches and he is the man who rides with the gang time and time again. He isn’t the only leader, tho
Let me tell you the story of a player who didn’t know about the existence of lock breakers in the early going. I’d seen doors blown open with what I believed to be dynamite early on in the game in a cut-scene, and so foolishly assumed that, surely, tossing dynamite on the back of a locked caravan was the way to open
