For most accounts they were brothers, who like brothers do, sometimes argued, but at the end of the day, they knew they loved one another and would do anything to protect t


Rockstar loves their long games, so it goes without saying that _ Red Dead Redemption II _ was always destined to be quite the juggernaut. All the same, the original _ Red Dead Redemption _ was not a particularly lengthy game, usually capping out at a reasonable 20-30 hours, which did make _ RDR II _ ’s whopping 50+ hour campaign quite a sh


Villeneuve also knows how to create the right mix between visceral action and psychological advance, as seen in Sicario . Not everyone is keen on the Tros-Riviéres born director. But one thing is for sure; he is a top gun when it comes to immersive filmmak

This little tidbit obviously isn't mentioned in the game, but it's still a neat little piece of trivia. The Marstons, John and Abigail, share first names with the second President of the United States and his First Lady. John Adams served as President between 1797 and 1801. He also served as the first Vice President and leader of the American Revolution. His wife was Abigail Smith, a devoted wife and one of John's closest confidantes and political advisers. We don't really know what to make of this fact, but knowing Rockstar, it's surely not a coincide


One of the most forgotten characters is Abigail Roberts. Of course, she's not actually forgotten, as she's one of the major characters of the series. But when it comes to fan discussion, she is often pushed aside for more complex and intriguing characters like Arthur, John, and Du
