We learn a lot about John through his relationship with Arthur Morgan. And some of these truths were not easy to see or digest. We also learn more about the Marston family, their backgrounds, their relationships, and the impact that Arthur had on the family and their future. Not only is the prequel setting a great way to establish character and backgrounds, but it’s also a great way to expand the scope of the series’ thematic webs. Arthur’s interactions with the Marston family deepen and strengthen the overall umbrella of Red Dead Redemption ‘s themes, ideas, and stateme
Xur is a mysterious merchant that seems to show up at the right time when you need rare items in Destiny or Destiny 2 . However, who is Xur? Do you know who you are buying things from? Well, for starters, this guy is endlessly loyal to The Nine, rulers of the Jovi
Leaving one’s entire life behind can be quite a crazy experience. When John left the gang and his old life behind for a year before coming back, what exactly did he do? Managing to eat and survive takes a multitude of skills, he was either robbing on his own or maybe John learned a trade to make some legal money. Maybe it was easier going it alone, and he just missed his family. What took place during this time, and the reason he came back still isn’t clearly sta
Despite still being in beta, Red Dead Online is being kept updated with new modes at regular intervals. Rockstar Games’ latest update brought with it the game mode Plunder . Players have to make the riskiest of supply runs to a location stacked with goods to outfit their team’s base. However, particularly bold players can raid the opposing team’s base for supplies instead of going to this location, lending an erratic air to the proceedings. Plunder excels when players have a coordinated team going for supply runs to both locations at the same t
The Uncharted series by Naughty Dog has always released to great reviews and is beloved by the PlayStation audience, but it always seems to have the misfortune of releasing the same year as another astounding video game experience sees the light of
Once the Saint Denis robbery goes sideways, the gang is literally broken apart and John is taken to Sisika Penitentiary to be imprisoned and hung. And while Dutch shows surprising patience and restraint in getting John out (he most likely didn’t even want him out,) Arthur takes action and rescues him from prison. He and Sadie scout the prison using a hot air balloon and proceed to storm the gates, guns blazing. It is this moment that finally reinforces their bond, and the two ally against Dutch and his increasing tyra
First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l
This name also belongs to the fourth game’s infamous serial killer. Abused as a child, Low went on to murder his father, brother, and mother before he began his murderous spree in Liberty City. No wonder GTA V’s Low wanted to immediately “clarify” the connection to all who as
The Open world games secrets of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a wild place full of wild people, and none may be wilder than the Van Der Linde gang. While some would say there is no honor among thieves, a man like Dutch Van Der Linde would say that is all a thief has. Loyalty and sense of purpose are how Dutch attracted most of his gang members in the first place. This loyalty gives way to an outlaw sense of honor, and some members of the gang feel this sense more than others. In this list, the gang members are ranked in order based upon their ho
The one thing that makes the Name Your Weapon mode stand out is the ability to choose whether or not a player enters it by themselves or with a team. It’s a game format similar to Shootout in which everyone is trying to get rid of each other, but points have been attached to the various weapons in the game. The more “difficult” it is to eliminate a player with a certain weapon, the more points that weapon is worth. So, players who try meleeing their opponents are treated to a whopping amount of points if they succ
Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there’s a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w
