History has become a steady source of content for the gaming industry. While fantasy driven worlds and far off galaxies still hold a lot of weight in the community, game franchises like Assassin’s Creed , Fallout, and Call of Duty all draw inspiration from or context from our world’s historical events to drive their plots home. From traveling through Ancient Greece and Rome to the horrors of World War II and alternate realities where pop culture stopped evolving but technology didn’t, leading to an all-out atomic war, history is one of the biggest sources for creative inspiration in regards to the video game indus

This next weapon takes a step back away from firearms and instead focuses on weapons that require a more close up and hands on approach. One of the more powerful melee weapons in the game has to be the Ancient Tomahawk. With a striped bound shaft and polished, razor sharp blade, the weapon was well maintained before being abandoned in an old wooden target overlooking the Calumet Ravine. The Calumet Ravine can be found in the wilds of the Grizzl

In the area of Rhodes is where our next chance encounter lies. If you happen to buy from the Gunsmith there, you might’ve heard some whispers as you walked in. There’s a man that calls out to you from the basement hatch outs

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

Bonnie MacFarland is the woman who saves John Marston’s life at the beginning of the first game. Once you get close you’ll learn she’s had many suitors, but nothing ever turns out well for her. If you go southeast of the first N in New Hanover, and follow the river, right about there you will see a man, presumably eliminated, next to a boat. If you try to loot him, he’ll gasp for air before eventually going in peace for real. In his clutched fist is a love letter for Bon

No, I’m not talking about your health bar, and I’m not even talking about your health core. Think a little more long-term. What you eat, how much you eat, and how much exercise you get determines Arthur Morgan ‘s weight . And that weight can have important game-changing consequences that come with. Being overweight means you’ll take less damage, but have less stamina. Being underweight means you’ll take more damage, but have more stamina. You have to take the good with the bad, and keep in mind your weight will change dynamically based on what you

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game. And when I say it’s large I don’t think you understand, it’s like, really big. The game has dedicated dialogue and animations for every individual character in your caravan. It has expertly intuitive wildlife (except for those rabbits that love running under your horse). And it even makes you manage your cleanliness and wei

The time away did not do much for the group of outlaws, as they almost immediately run into trouble, primarily due to Dutch’s terrible decisions in taking on ever-increasingly dangerous heists. To make matters worse, Morgan catches tuberculosis and is given a grim prognosis. He saves Marston (again), but that is when the group truly begins to disso

Of course, we all know what comes next, as _ Red Dead Redemption 2 side quests Dead Redemption 2 _ is the prequel to the original 2010 game. A mid-credits scene ties the two games in perfectly, showing Agents Ross and Fordham finding Marston’s family ra

It would appear that you can be a bit of a buccaneer in this old west game. A very old and rare pirate cutlass with a long snapped blade and decorative golden hand guard can be found within the game map. The ancient relic of a weapon can be found lodged deep inside an abandoned boat that ran adrift in the swamplands surrounding Saint Denis. It has quite a long range in comparison to other melee weapons and manages to be a powerful weapon despite its

Incredibly early into the gang, Arthur reveals that John had left the gang for an entire year prior to the start of Chapter 1. This abandonment clearly created some wedge between Arthur and John with the two butting heads early on. Oddly, though, Arthur more or less gets over it by Chapter 2 as he never actually reflects on

One of the things I learned way after the tutorial was the fact that, when galloping on your horse, timing your button press with your horse’s gallop won’t drain your horse’s stamina nearly as much, if at all. Get into a good rhythm, and you can absolutely cruise along without much of a care in the world. This is especially useful when chasing somebody on horseback since those can end up taking an extended bit of time. The one thing to keep in mind about this is that it’s pretty easy to get numb to the speed if you’re at it for a while, and going through a town at breakneck pace is a pretty easy way to get on people’s bad si
