Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there’s a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w

Maybe a little obvious, but playing through missions and completing objectives is a tried and true way to level up in Red Dead Online . Thankfully, the mode offers a variety of challenges, including stealing horses, lassoing enemies, and robbing trains — though some of these missions don’t always make sense . As we mentioned before, these challenges are best taken on in a group, but even if you’re a lone wolf there’s still a lot to be gained from finishing the game’s many missi

Josiah simply has no loyalty to anyone. He repeatedly abandons the gang for long periods of time and returns when he sees fit. Arthur Morgan states while riding with Charles Smith that Trelawny “would sell his own sister to save a train fare.” Josiah Trelawny is many things, but an honorable man he is

Javier is a very loyal man, and that is what got him to the better half of this list. That same loyalty, though, is his downfall. Dutch found Javier stealing chickens and saved him. Javier never forgot this, leading to absolute blind loyalty for Dutch. If any gang member second guesses Dutch’s orders, Javier takes offense. Upon news of Micah’s betrayal, Javier draws his gun on both Arthur and John. In the end, he chose to go down a dishonorable path with dishonorable

Once the Saint Denis robbery goes sideways, the gang is literally broken apart and John is taken to Sisika Penitentiary to be imprisoned and hung. And while Dutch shows surprising patience and restraint in getting John out (he most likely didn’t even want him out,) Arthur takes action and rescues him from prison. He and Sadie scout the prison using a hot air balloon and proceed to storm the gates, guns blazing. It is this moment that finally reinforces their bond, and the two ally against Dutch and his increasing tyra

They turned a character who many felt was unlikable and basic into a father whose journey meant everything to you. Though Red Dead Redemption 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man gave it stiff competition, there’s no surprise that 2018’s God of War walked away with the Game of the Year aw

The open world games crafting Guide of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a wild place full of wild people, and none may be wilder than the Van Der Linde gang. While some would say there is no honor among thieves, a man like Dutch Van Der Linde would say that is all a thief has. Loyalty and sense of purpose are how Dutch attracted most of his gang members in the first place. This loyalty gives way to an outlaw sense of honor, and some members of the gang feel this sense more than others. In this list, the gang members are ranked in order based upon their ho

So, The Game Awards are gaming’s biggest award show and the closest thing we have to the Oscars in terms of an American-led prestige award show for video games. Geoff Keighley has done an excellent job running the show since 2014 and manages to outdo himself every time the show comes aro

Before The Game Awards started in 2014, Keighley also helped put on the Spike Game Awards on SpikeTV up until 2012 when television channels were replaced by Youtube and later Twitch. Let’s look at the last 10 Game of the Year winners for The Game Awards/Spike Game Awards, ran

Throughout your travels in the eastern part of the map, you might stumble across a Wanted poster, asking for any information leading to the return of Isabeau Katharina Zinsmeister. She went missing 15 years ago after her family (Luxembourg royalty) visited the United States. And she hasn’t been seen si

Arthur and John’s relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur’s redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the “redemption” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p

Arthur is quite the family man. Not long after having Jack, John left the van der Linde in a moment of selfishness and self-reflection. Not much is known about his time away from the family, but one thing is for sure – Arthur was not happy about it. It’s pretty clear that Arthur was quite hurt by John’s selfish action, as he brings it up about five thousand times in the early part of the game. The family rides and dies together, and John completely abandoned that ideol
