It took the steadfast GTA formula and transposed it to the Wild West, yet it was saddled with a stronger and emotional story and a thick atmosphere steeped in real-life American history—resulting in both an exhilarating yet moving experience, bittersweet to the core. It was an impressive piece of work that arguably stands as the development studio’s masterpiece—which is no mean feat in its

So first in our quest to find all the wacky lads in the old west is Margaret. He’s found next to his crashed cart in Lemoyne. As it happens, his circus animals escaped and he needs us to find them. He lost 2 lions, a zebra, and a tiger. Well, sort of. Turns out they’re all dressed up everyday animals like a Mule, Dog, and Cou

Rockstar sure has been hard at work building the online for their infinitely huge RPG, Red Dead Redemption 2 . The game had a massively successful launch, to no one’s surprise. The standard pattern for them is to then use that profit and popularity to build their games even larger so people will stick with it for years to come. I mean just look at GTA5 . That game released originally in 2013, and yet it still has a bustling online ecosys

What’s super exciting about this small plotline is that it’s clearly based on the real-life English colony who went missing in Roanoke two years after the colony was founded. Only a skeleton and single word —”Croatoan”— carved into a tree was left behind. The skeleton and tree haven’t been found in-game just yet, but it’s very possible they’re out there somewh

That doesn’t mean it’s near flawless, though. As with even the greatest Rockstar Games’ product (and this is likely the best), there are weird tonal shifts, obnoxious side characters, and contradictions galore with the main protagonist. This leads to plenty of holes and dangling threads left in their overall result— Redemption 1 is just as guilty of this as their past ga

Completely free and a well-rounded sniper rifle? Count me in! This rifle is not to be messed with. Not only is its accuracy 3.4/4, but it has the damage to match. It has an almost equal level range as well, which almost makes up for the slow reload and rate of fire. Your enemies had better quake in their boots if they see you rolling up the block with this rifle because you are about to kick some cowboy behind. I haven’t come across another weapon this powerful yet and it blows my mind (I’m sure your enemies will feel the same soon enou

Other than the vampire encounter, this is by far the most fantastical mission in the game. It features one Marko Dragic as he works to finish his masterpiece, to his own detriment. This is another one that takes place in Saint-Denis, so wait till after chapter 4. Your first encounter with Marko is to help him win over some investors with his “toy” submar

In case you haven’t heard, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Western-themed action-adventure game starring Arthur Morgan, a Van der Linde gang member dealing with the decline of the Wild Western way of life and fighting against government forces and other gangs. This game also follows John Marston, the protagonist from the first Red Dead Redemption 2 News Dead Redemption . From shoot-outs to hunting to riding along the prairie, this game brings the nostalgia of the Wild West into a harsh and gritty real-world perspective. Everything is done in real time and is instilled with a sense of realism; no crazy video game tactics here. If you want to live out your childhood cowboy dream as a grown-up, Rockstar have you covered with this new installm

Throwing knives sound cool and are impressive when used correctly. You imagine launching this sharp weapon for a fair distance and instantly landing your target. While this bad boy does indeed do decent damage and does additional damage over time, its accuracy and range could use some work. This is probably just personal opinion since I prefer guns to knives, but I don’t think they are all that gr

The second half is located at the home of a hermit who lives at the very west end of the map. Follow the Little Creek River until you reach its tip. Her home should be right there. Careful though. You will have to deal with not only the hermit woman, but the three dogs she sets upon you. Once you’ve cleaned house, search the drawers of the place and find the second half of the Torn Treasure Map. The completed map leads you to New Austin. There is a cave west of Twin Rocks near Rattlesnake Hollow. Inside, you’ll find a collection of dubious treas

Next on our list is one of the only “non-stranger” missions on here. The bloodcurdling questline is actually just a random encounter and isn’t officially designated as a “stranger mission”. To stumble across the Nosferatu fanboy, you do have to have Saint-Denis as an available locat

Exactly what the potion does is STILL unclear; it may be the case that it does absolutely nothing at all, but with so many Easter Eggs scattered throughout the game, we can’t imagine developers would let this one slide without ANY effec
