Kratos might be skilled at fighting gods and monsters, but he will be facing an entirely new kind of opponent at the 2018 Game Awards, as God of War is facing off against Red Dead Redemption 2 in every category that they are nominated
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
One game that captured the hearts of many in the last decade was Red Dead Redemption . The game followed John Marston, a former outlaw turned rancher who was forced by the federal government to hunt down his former outlaw compatriots. Exploring the Old West and seeing the end of the cowboy era was fascinating to live through. Now in recent weeks the highly anticipated sequel/prequel Red Dead Redemption 2 promises to further bring players into the era before cowboys fell. Exploring the gang Marston ran with before he left with his wife, you play as a new hero and must navigate the rough terrain of the Old W
As with any good western story, you will witness the loss of friends along the way. Those bandits with a heart of gold will find themselves at the wrong end of a shotgun, and you will have to face the rest of the story without them. Well, the developers just knew you would probably be in your feelings about t
No longer do you have to wade out into the water, cast out your line, wait for five hours, and then reel in a single fish. You just ignite the fuse, toss the stick of dynamite into the water, and ba-blam! Instant fish fil
If simple generosity is not enough to convince you to give to the poor, you should know that interacting with them kindly allows for further conversations with them in the future. They will remember Arthur Morgan and have a few words for him later
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
Aside from the story, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is amazing as well. Rockstar Games has always been adept at making vast open worlds, but Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the cake. The space your outlaws inhabit feels huge and immersive. Part of the immersion is due to the fact that there are a plethora of activities you can participate in. I’ve had the game for a while, and I feel as if I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I can accompl
In the town of Valentine, peer through the back window of the Doctor’s shop and sneak inside. There you can force the doctor to take you to the back room. There you will take out everyone inside and loot the box sitting on the table in the room. You can customize this weapon and if you buy a second one you can dual wield the weapon early in the g
There are so many NPCs and playable characters in RDR 2 that you wouldn’t be at fault for think of it as a western Where’s Waldo . There is a lot to see and do, and Rockstar took full advantage of this fact with a notable Easter egg. In early November, Ned Luke, the person who voiced Michael in GTA V tweeted that the character could be found in RDR 2 . First was in the credits, and second as an actual character who speaks to you. Unfortunately, players have not yet spotted him, but they are hot on the tr
Not only does it provide insight into the gang’s disintegration, but Arthur is a bit of an artist. He fills parts of his diary with little sketches of things he has seen on his journeys. So be sure to read your di
Okay, maybe not, but your horse is going to get hungry. And just like Arthur, the hungrier your horse gets, the lower its cores are going to stoop. You can feed your horse a lot of different things that Arthur could eat himself, but not quite everything. Some of the best and most easily obtainable stuff to give your horse seems to be carrots and apples. They rejuvenate your horse much more than they rejuvenate Arthur, and what way better is there to gain a new companion than sharing a snack with t
As the saying goes, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea.” The same can more or less be said of Red Dead Redemption 2 horses Dead Redemption 2 : there are plenty of horses in the Old West. You’ve got a lot of different options when it comes to who you choose to be your traveling companion, and whatever horse you choose, they’ll be sure to appreciate the gesture. The more you use the same horse, doing just about anything, the more your horse is going to trust you. And in the same vein, the more you use the same horse, the more you may grow to trust the ho
An old Bowie knife with a solid blade, worn out wooden handle and a large D-shaped handguard for protection, this was most commonly used by Civil War soldiers. Now coated in rust, the weapon can be found in a storage room underneath the ruins of Fort Brennand in Roanoke Ridge, New Hanover. This little piece of history may just come in handle in bat
