Red Dead Redemption 2 Had No Staying Power

The Legendary Big Horn Ram doesn’t really have many distinct features from the other variants of the Ram, outside of its larger horns and its white coat. It’s not too difficult to find, and players can easily hunt it on horseback due to its skittish nature but lack of sp


True Crime: Streets of LA came out in 2003. Players follow the story of Nicholas Kang, an LA police officer who investigates a case on bombings in Chinatown. Kang is a tenacious cop and players can play him as either a "Good Cop" or a "Bad Cop" with the choices they m


It shouldn't come as a surprise that the oldest member of the Van Der Linde gang also happened to be the resident bookworm. Hosea loved reading and had an appreciation and love for crime novels above all e


This likely traumatized Strauss and made him the type of man who never wanted to be hungry again. Instead of falling into the pit his family had, he used his intelligence and cunning to manipulate people into owing him money. He may not have been kind, but boy was he good at getting the gang mo


Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol


The Honor system was brought back which affects the options given to Arthur and greatly effects the story. There are benefits, and consequences, for being both honorable and dishonorable. Negative points in the Honor systems give players more when they loot bod


Triad levels up when he commits violent acts, Face levels up during civilian side missions, and Police levels up when he minimizes the damage done to properties, civilians and during police side que


As we'll get into later Leopold Strauss didn't have the greatest life growing up in Europe. His family struggled to make ends meet and often resorted to extreme measures just to make sure they were fed and sec


It probably isn't a surprise that a Grand Theft Auto game is on this list, half this list could have been covered by just GTA games! But GTA V is the best (so far) out of the series and the best crime video game. The game's story mode is told through the perspective of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin, three men who each live a life of cr


Many people feel that Hosea bares a striking resemblance to accomplished actor and Western icon Clint Eastwood. It seems that the likeness stops there as Hosea is a lot more charismatic and understanding than any of Eastwood's characters w


Arresting criminals and taking them down non-lethal gives Kang "Good Cop" points and using lethal force and killing civilians gives him Bad Cop points. The amount of points a player gets in either meter determines the ending they


Most of the time when people think of nicknames they automatically assume they're used as a term of endearment. That's not always the case as many times nicknames can also be used to tease or ridicule people based on their previous actions or mista


Players control Kiryu and Majima, alternating between their side of the story. The Yakuza series is an action-adventure game that has plenty of side quests and minigames that makes the game much more immersive, like running a business and playing arcade ga


The Hitman game franchise features Agent 47, an international contract assassin for works for the International Contract Agency or ICA. Agent 47 eliminates high profile criminals for powerful and wealthy clients. The main focus of the game is to take out assigned targets. The game ranks the players on the way they accomplish the assassination and even rewards them with items and cash bonu


Like Jack Gleeson who portrayed Joffrey Baratheon in Game Updates of Thrones, Blomquist does an incredible job at making players which nothing but disdain upon their character. Fans may never forgive Micah Bell, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't appreciate Blomquist's performa


Ever since playing the original Red Dead Redemption , one of my favorite characters across all forms of media has been Dutch Van der Linde. Struggling with demons from the past, fighting to live as an outlaw on the run, believing in himself as much as his followers, Dutch is a complex and complicated individual trying to survive in a world that has drastically changed around him. Much of what he represents and struggles with across both stories ironically reflects exactly what is wrong with the sequel game. Having waited almost ten years for a new, more beautiful Rockstar iteration, I could not wait to dive into Red Dead Redemption
