Here's the thing — some people love experiencing the same entertainment over and over while others prefer a one-and-done approach. If you happen to be the former, what's preventing you from starting the game from the beginning and embarking on Arthur's journey once ag
The simple drawings and the need for guided structure symbolize a character who was never educated past a grade-school level, and his lack of interest in learning how to do either task better showcases exactly how John Marston views himself and his place in the world. He knows he isn't a good writer or a good artist, but he continues doing both things anyway. For the player, this helps to continue the feeling of immersion and involvement with the world around them, but it also shows a subtle respect for the memory of Arthur Mor
Rockstar Games not only crafted a superb narrative, but they also crafted an Open World Game DLC world that feels rich with detail and activity. Even if you were the type of player who took their time and didn't rush through the story, chances are there were areas you didn't explore fu
Arthur and the Van der Linde gang end up having several other interactions with the two families over the course of the game. Hosea and Arthur attempt to sell moonshine to the Braithwaites that they recovered from the Lemoyne Raiders; the Braithwaites agreed only on the condition that Arthur and his pals give it out for free at the Rhodes saloon. Since the saloon is owned by the Gray family, it was a not-so-discreet way to detract from their business. The Braithwaites later ask the Van der Lindes to burn down the Gray’s tobacco fields, only for the gang to also agree to steal the Braithwaites’ horses in return for payment from the Grays. At the time, neither family seemed to realize the Van der Lindes are playing both si
The Van der Linde Gang may have ended in a very abrupt manner, but not everyone was met with the fate of death or prison. Numerous members went on to live a life much different than the crime-related one they used to have. If you were invested in these characters, you're going to want to see what happened to them. Understand though,, that if you want the complete story, you're going to have to make sure and play Red Dead Redemption as it takes place after the events of its seq
If you played Grand Theft Auto V than you're likely familiar with Trevor. He may seem like a psycho, and that's because he's a direct reflection of the typical GTA players who go around causing chaos. In many ways, Micah is the Red Dead Redemption equivalent to this very thing. He represents the worst of the worst when it comes to the player base. When you give those types of people representation and the spotlight, it could, in turn, make them feel as though their actions are not only justified but apprecia
John's journal, on the other hand, isn't quite as fanciful, despite him being a much more verbose character in person. As the main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption and the avatar which players take control of after Arthur Morgan's death in Red Dead Redemption 2, John isn't afraid to let people know he isn't keen on keeping thoughts and feelings internal when they need to be expressed, and he isn't the type of person to go in for such highfalutin concepts as art and education. Although he still sketches each new animal that he comes across, John's drawings are simple, almost child-like, and when he writes he adds lines underneath his words so that he doesn't end up scribbling all over the p
However, there's a lot more to Red Dead Redemption 2's in-game journal than just the moments shown to the player after cutscenes and pictures of crudely-drawn cougars. Flipping forwards or backwards through the journal at any given point in Red Dead Redemption 2's story will provide players with an in-depth look at their current avatar's mentality, and when comparing the two characters side-by-side the journal gives a fascinating look at the differences and the similarities between the gruff, silent Arthur Morgan and the more headstrong, emotional John Mars
Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode isn't quite as popular as Grand Theft Auto Online is, but that doesn't mean it isn't still worth updating to next-gen consoles alongside its single-player counterpart. However, hopefully Rockstar will not inflate Red Dead Online's economy with too many free gold bars, lest they risk accusations that they are sabotaging the game in much the same way some players have suggested they are doing to GTA Online . Right now the company is giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to players leading up to the release of GTAV on the PS5, and if they were to do the same in Red Dead Online it could possibly send the in-game economy into r
Having thousands, if not millions of people, hate a character based on their actions in the story is a mark of quality. It helps spotlight the fact that the audience is immersed and invested in the story to such an extent they feel connected to the characters emotiona
