Remember back in 2012, or as it’s known in some circles, the year of the bow? It seems like every game that came out then packed one in, and for good reason. Red Dead Redemption 2’s bow does a very respectable amount of damage and has a good reload time, but that’s not what makes it strong. Its silence is what does it. If you’re sneaking up on a hideout or fancy taking out some enemies without alerting their comrades, the bow does this superbly. One well-placed arrow can down anyone. If you’re feeling fancy, make some dynamite arr

Now, before anyone complains, I will admit that the Varmint Rifle is great for dealing with, well, varmints. Taking out small wildlife requires a delicate touch, and this is what said rifle provides. What it does not provide is the firepower to take down bounty hunters, gang members, or lawmen. The weapon does less than half the damage that the Springfield and Bolt-Action rifles do. About the only thing it has going for it is that it’s got a fast fire rate and a good-sized magazine. However, you’ll need that if you’re going to fire enough lead to down anyb

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

Chapter 3 is when things start to really turn sour for Dutch’s gang. Following mess after mess, it seems as though the group is at their lowest point. Suddenly, Colm O’Driscoll asks for a truce and with no real ground to say otherwise, Dutch agrees to meet in order to come to some kind of agreem

Interestingly, however, you’d think that getting taken advantage of so much in the prequel would help John realize how to say “no.” Instead, it only reinforces his willingness to participate in any hairbrained scheme he catches wind of. It’s a genuinely perplexing characterization even if it does technically feel in-line with his original depict

Any game where I get to ride an animal automatically earns itself a boost in my esteem. If I’m playing a game set in the West, you can bet your buckles I expect to ride a horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 Locations Dead Redemption 2 gives me plenty of opportunities to do just t

Spoilers Kieran has perhaps the clearest telegraphed arcs in the entire game. One of the first characters you meet, Kieran betrays the O’Driscolls, joins Dutch’s gang, and gets a chance to prove his loyalty while earning his keep. Logic dictates he play a large role in the story and form a natural bond with Arthur. Then he gets eliminated and the game just sort of forgets he ever exis

In Chapter 2, Arthur takes Jack on an impromptu fishing trip. As John hasn’t been the best father prior to the events of the prequel, it’s up to the other men of the camp to serve as a good role model for Jack. Only Arthur is able to fill that role, however, so Abigail requests he spend time with the

RDR 2 is an expansive game. It gives you every opportunity to experience the wild west uniquely and realistically. Many of the Easter eggs help to solidify this experience. Gamers are diligent and have found a large number of Easter eggs. This time around, many pay homage to another game, but many are also “otherworldly.” RDR 2 has a surplus of creepy, strange, and downright scary Easter eggs that you may not want to encounter while playing at night. In this regard, Rockstar has undoubtedly upped the a

Make your enemies say night, night, with Midnight’s Pistol. Received as part of the stranger mission “The Noblest Of Men And A Woman,” Billy’s pistol has a dark past. However, despite its huge number of uses over the years, boy does it still work. The pistol, a variant of the semi-auto, does standard damage, to begin with, but persist with it, and you’ll gain affinity. Once you’ve done this, its damage skyrockets. Its damage becomes one of the highest of the game’s pistols, while also having an exceptionally quick reload t

Which allowed Rockstar to pull the same stunt get again with Red Dead Redemption II. The back of the box even explicitly states to keep an eye out for the online component. This is not done in good will either. It likely does need further development time, but this is just as much a means of advertising RDR2 twof

Interestingly, the mission actually gives you a choice. You can simply threaten Thomas if you want. Despite this, the immediate cutscenes shows a bloody and bruised Thomas as if Arthur did beat him up. Player freedom resulted in a cutscenes that will be totally inaccurate for more passive play

Grand Theft Auto V ’s biggest issue at launch was the state of Online. Despite being marketed as one of the game’s major components, Grand Theft Online was held back for as long as humanly possible, potentially milking the game for as many consumers as Rockstar possibly could. For as much backlash as the move got at the time, fans let themselves for
