<br>This decade saw some amazing innovation when it came to video games and the Pokémon franchise made the most of that. The Pokémon Go game took the entire world by storm and really helped take the franchise to new levels of popularity. Bringing back lapsed fans who had moved on from the franchise to connect with a totally new generation of gamers. Pokémon has never been as strong or popular as it has been in this dec<br><br> <br>You can never be too wary of strangers in the wide-open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 , especially in the big city of Saint Denis. For the most part, strangers are friendly, especially if you're just passing them on the street. There are some that will take advantage of your kindness (or react to your hostility) so it's best to be ready to wield your closest firearm at all times. This goes for dealing with strangers and other players alike in the world of Red Dead Online as w<br><br> <br>John Marston and Arthur Morgan are arguably two of the best video game protagonists of the decade and two of the coolest cowboys to ever come to any screen. But that doesn't mean everyone should up and forget likely the first cowboy to prove the Wild West was a pretty great place to be, right? Sheriff Woody would no doubt put John, Arthur, and the rest of Dutch's gang into their place as soon as he stepped into town, because who would want to disappoint Woody?

Their pelts don't amount to good crafts or much money; their meat isn't as beneficial as three-star or legendary animals. So really, why waste the ammo and time it takes to hunt them down when you could use it to go after a perfect or legendary animal instead?

These kinds of releases can be a gamer's dream or a nightmare depending on how much time and money they have to commit to gaming.

Video games are the perfect source for memes because of their less-than-realistic graphics, funny AI, and what some like to call "game logic." Though most games tend to follow real-world rules, sometimes that can look a little ridiculous. Some games, like the two in the Red Dead Redemption series, have so many characters and such an involved storyline it's hard not to create memes out of them. If you follow the series at all or know anything about good ole John Marston, you're bound to laugh at these ten me<br>
<br>John is the quintessential man of the 19th century: masculine, hard-working, and above all, closed off. It isn't easy to get him to open up, so it's no surprise he makes this quip to Arthur during the Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign. It speaks to some pretty clever writing on Rockstar's part as well. While players were excited to get another game under the Red Dead umbrella, Rockstar makes it clear both in gameplay and with this quote that players are supposed to focus on the new characters rather than the old, nostalgia-inducing charact<br><br> <br>When it comes to Rockstar games the newest title is usually going to supersede the previous marvel. That’s because they keep getting better and better at their craft. It may not be pleasant to have to wait four to six years in-between projects especially when other companies like Ubisoft can pump out sequels at an alarming rate with varying degrees of quality. Point is Red Dead Redemption 2 , with all of its faults, is a masterpiece.

That said,  [https://Openworldgamer.com/ Openworldgamer.Com] getting around the giant environment without one is a pain. There is basically no fast travel.

From the second Link wakes up, I knew I was in for something special. The Zelda series has always found ways to innovate, but Breath of the Wild takes the franchise to new heights. Giving players the most extensive open-world experience to date, you'd be hard-pressed to find a portion of this game that isn't enjoyable. Clearing Shrines, conquering Divine Beasts, or helping citizens with the many side quests, this new version of Hyrule raises the bar not only for the series, but for all of gam<br><br> <br>No portion of Red Dead Redemption 2 is as disliked as the part on Guarma. The story felt like it took a nosedive during this chapter, and the open-world environment was gone, replaced with an island in the middle of the ocean that didn't feel connected in any way to prior experiences. Aside from maybe taking out a few parrots and lizards, the hunting is not as interesting as in other areas. Guarma feels like a stain on a game that is known for having engaging and enticing environments. When it's time to leave Guarma, both you and Arthur Morgan will not look back fondly on your time th<br><br> <br>One of the most memorable moments of the original RDR is the side mission "I Know You" where Marston meets an NPC referred to only as the Strange Man. He seems to know more about John than he should reasonably be able to, and he can't be killed. Fans have speculated that he could be God, the Devil, or Death itself. In RDR2, Arthur doesn't ever come face to face with this individual, but can find a strange shack in Lemoyne that might belong to him. It's riddled with cryptic writing and contains paintings that change over the course of the game, one of them slowly forming a portrait of the Strange <br><br> <br>It's no mystery John Marston has problems with authority. He's rough all around the edges and has the scars and backstory to prove it. There are very few people he respects and they all seem to have the same gray morals John does. This can't be a coincidence, but at least John is aware of it. He also knows how to twist his backstory and character flaws into a quip that easily cuts the person he's talking to (someone he obviously doesn't respect) down to their kn<br><br> <br>Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both phenomenal games.

In the side quest "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman" you're supposed to track down several old gunslingers. The quest culminates in a duel with one of the characters and if you win, you can pick up his revolver. The gun has the Latin phrase "Canis Canem Edit" engraved on the barrel.
