Well, Guerilla Games managed to do exactly that when they released Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017. As players took on the role of Alloy, they quickly found that this was a rich and magnetic world that felt ripe for exploration. When a new IP turns into a hit franchise that fans are now awaiting the sequel, it’s a truly special event in gam
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
During the starting point of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur states that John recently left the gang for about a year. This is repeatedly brought up especially when talking about the rift between John and Arthur, the question is why. What is it that drove him to that point. John has apparently left the gang before, but never for long, until then. There is more to this story than meets the eye, that will hopefully be explained in the next Red Dead installm
The last train job, the final heist of them all. In the heat of the robbery, John is shot, and Arthur witnesses him fall backward off the train. The player at this point has no idea what is happening to John or how he makes it back. They know he has to be alive for the events of original Red Dead Redemption to take place, but how does he make it back? Possibly a very cool Downloadable Content update for Red Dead Redemption 2 would be this mission, and it would answer a lot of questions regarding John’s survi
This is one of the longest lingering mysteries surrounding the entirety of the game. You can run into a seemingly lost British man named Nigel who is actively looking for his friend, Gavin. Upon interacting with Nigel, he asks you if you’ve seen his friend. Ordinarily, this would lead to a side-quest or task of some sort to help find Gavin, but surprisingly, you respond with a simple “no.” And that’s
John Marston impacted many peoples lives, most of them negatively through robbery or murder, but the few that he positively impacted, did they ever hear of John’s demise? With Abigail and Jack still wandering the world, it’s possible to believe the word has spread or even a few of John’s old friends visited his gr
There is no running; the past catches up with everyone eventually. Red Dead Redemption’s John Marston had put his gang life behind him, gone legit, and turned into a family man. Yet his past came knocking on the door. John ultimately died an untimely death at the hands of a double-crossing lawman due to his old crimes and affiliati
Red Dead Redemption 2 has earned its place as one of the most ambitious Open world games missions-world video games ever made, but exploring its dark and dangerous world can get a little lonely — which is why the game’s multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online , is such a breath of fresh
Possibly the easiest award to earn in Red Dead Online — and there are a whopping 425 of them — requires you to sell items to each of the game’s three merchants . This is a natural starting point, as all it requires you to do is collect herbs, animal parts, and merchandise to the doctor, butcher, and fence, respectively. These can be easily found throughout the game world, especially herbs in the game’s forest settings. All these items are all plentiful among the game’s large open world, so get to search
The Van Der Linde gang used to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. The gang’s gradual decline is never more visible than their partnership with Leopold Strauss. Strauss gives terrible loans to folk with barely any money, and when they can’t pay, Arthur Morgan appears on collections duty. Without a doubt though the gang’s first step to becoming lost was doing business with Mr. Stra
Very few games have seen the critical praise that Red Dead Redemption 2 received just prior to its release in 2018. Once it was in the hands of players there was a strong divide between people who loved every moment of the lush and deep open-world Western experience, and others who felt the controls and slow pace made it feel antiquated and unpolis
Whenever a new FromSoftware game releases it’s met with the expectation that it will be a solid experience at the very least. With the release of Bloodborne , they proved that they could move away from a fantasy setting and still deliver a world full of mystery, intrigue, and st
Next to no information as to who these people are is provided. But once you have this random encounter, you unlock a side mission called, “A Fine Night for It,” where you are enlisted by an old man to help get the Night Folk off his property.
