The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.

What makes the journal even more beautiful is the fact that it records your moments in-game and weaves them into the life of Arthur. I may not be able to make Arthur loyal to Dutch in the end or have him be pals with Micah, but I can decide what side activities he partakes in or the animals he hunts. It gives what I do in-game life. The journal becomes my version of Arthur’s final days, giving my playtime a personal, lively touch that I’ve never experienced in a game before: Arthur’s story and mine intertwine.

If you want to know how much time and energy Rockstar Games put into Red Dead Redemption 2 , you need look no further than opossums. Most animals will flee from you if they see your character approaching, but not the opos

The average Red Dead redemption 2 Mods Dead player probably does not realize that giving the local Saint Denis Times a peek is a worthwhile task as the game’s newspapers show how the outside world looks upon the Van der Linde Gang’s doi

And if you let your character go a bit too long without bathing, people will take notice. If you walk around covered in dirt, grime, blood, or any other from of filth people will take notice and avoid

The same’s true of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Money’s pretty tight for Arthur and his gang, especially early on. You might be itching to unlock fast travel as soon as possible, but it doesn’t come ch

He needs help from several offbeat characters yet doesn’t hesitate to do several thankless errands in return. Why doesn’t Marston (the former outlaw) just threaten these guys and get what he needs instead? He doesn’t have the time to waste and isn’t above going back to his old ways to get what he needs—aside from in this asp

Sphincter sirens are a normal part of everyday life, so when they are included in a video game, they make the world feel ten times more real. Who would have thought that passing gas could be used so precisely and elegan

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

Events that players took part in get written about, and it’s interesting to read about them from a remote perspective. It is also a testament to the amount of detail developers put in this game if they have dynamic newspap

Remember the good old days? When the only way to figure out how to maneuver one’s way through a game was through good old fashioned trial and error? When you had to play a game for literal hours without advancing in the plot because you got stuck on some silly level and then when you asked your friends about said difficult part the next school day, you found out that it was actually incredibly e

After doing so once, you’ll be able to upgrade Arthur’s tent. What does this do? Well, mainly, it adds a handy-dandy map to the tent (or, more specifically, somewhere in the base near Arthur’s tent). Take a look at it, and you’ll be able to pick a destination from a handy list of places you’ve already visited. Simply pick somewhere, then, after the obligatory transitional scene, there you are. It’s that e

While we have already touched on how amazing it is to see Arthur and the gang evolve and devolve, in this case, I literally mean NPCs. Never in gaming have NPCs been this, for lack of a better term, re

If you escape to a certain distance and use your binoculars to observe where you left a couple of casualties after a shoot-out, you will see some lawmen approaching the area. These lawmen will then pick up the remains and cart them back to town on their hor

As we’re enjoying the rich intro with the plot set up, the stakes start to twist to a resoundingly silly moment. After introducing Marston and his quest to take down ex-gang brother Bill Williamson, the ex-gunslinger goes up to Williamson’s uninviting Fort Mercer in plain sight and lets Williamson know his busin

If you’re a Grand Theft Auto Online player (as much of the darn known universe has been over the years), you’ll know that, outlaw or not, you’ve got to work for your money. You can’t just boot the game up for the first time and rule the criminal underworld right from the start. It’s a rags to ill-gotten-riches st

I am about to reveal to you why Red Dead Redemption 2 is the absolute greatest game of all time. Not of 2018, not of the decade, but of all time. Are you ready for this? Alright, here it comes. Brace yourselves. In this game, you can pat/pet dogs. Any game that includes beautiful puppers but does not let you make direct contact with the little guys is not worth your time. But any game that allows you to pet and play with those dogs immediately wins my vote for best game e
