Arthur Morgan is a protagonist who yearns to hold onto his life of adventure forever; it totally makes sense that he is an ISTP. Also known as the virtuoso, ISTPs love to examine the world through doing things and keeping a cool but curious mindset. These personality types are all about first-hand experiences, perfect for a video game protagon
The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase “Would you Kindly”. One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
They are not fans of people trying to restrict their freedom, which Arthur shows in his struggle to accept the decline of the Wild West. Arthur absolutely fits the virtuoso personality type; it is almost scary how close it f
In 2018, Sony Santa Monica, led by God of War veteran Cory Barlog managed to do the impossible. Not only did they soft-reboot one of gaming’s most iconic franchise successfully, but they also fleshed out the main protagonist that had been a one-note punchline for thousands of jokes on the inter
In Grand Theft Auto IV players take on the role of Niko Bellic and Eastern European who’s trying to find his footing in Liberty City, Rockstar’s take on New York City. In 2008 this game established expectations for what fans believed realistic open world games map guide-world games could
It’s as if Red Dead Redemption 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive met in the middle and tried creating a child. It fails at times thanks to awkward controls, but it promises a great time regardl
What’s better than regular Shootout? How about Shootout with explosives! Up in Smoke is another game mode in the Showdown series. The main objective of the game is to destroy the opposing team’s camp by delivering explosive packages over to their camp and blowing them up. It’s a straightforward mode that delivers explosive good fun—pardon the
However, the letter that he gets back from his brother is less than conciliatory, hinting at a dark past with Micah that he would rather forget, before warning him not to come anywhere near him or his family. We hated Micah, but we would be interested in a game that showed us exactly what he and his brother used to
Why? Well, Mr. Valentine was initially a real person whose brain was scanned as a part of his PTSD treatment. In an even weirder turn of events, Valentine used to also be a detective in his former life. This guy’s story is filled with equal parts intrigue and insan
In a lot of ways, Uncle is a rather mysterious character. We know for a fact that the guy is very lazy, as well as annoying, but he must be good to have around if he’s allowed to follow the gang around. Is there a chance that he once was a great man, an outlaw that has turned old and quiet? Does he really have lumbago?! We know that we left Red Dead Redemption 2 wondering why Rockstar have decided that this is the character they want to follow throughout the entire franchise, but if they wanted to make a prequel about who this guy is and where he came from, we wouldn’t say no to giving it a
Most Wanted is a different take on Shootout that spices up the experience. Instead of players just running around shooting each other, an extra dynamic has been added. Every kill earns points, and the more kills a player has under their belt, the more points they will give to the player who kills them. In essence, the better a player is at the game, the more likely it is that they will become the “most wanted” player on the map. It evens the playing field because the most skilled players end up being ganged up on by everyone e
As part of Red Dead Online’s Showdown Series, Spoils of War functions like a drawn-out capture-the-flag type mode. Each team of players has a loot stash that they must protect. At the same time, they have to travel to the opposing team’s stash and take what spoils they can. Like with any capture-the-flag game, Spoils of War is engaging because of how much an individual player can do to help their team. Those who remain behind to guard the stash can still contribute. If you constantly pepper opponents with bullets out in the middle of the map, you are helping your team. You can’t go wr
