The Game Awards: The Last 10 Game Of The Year Winners, Ranked

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

You’d have to have a heart of stone not to fall in love with your trusty steed over the course of Red Dead Online — after all, where would you be without your animal companion? Thankfully, bonding with your horse offers more than just a burst of oxyto

Thankfully in 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves managed to capture the Game of the Year prize at that year’s Spike Game Awards, earning a piece of hardware that the franchise deserved. With the future of the franchise, a question mark post- Uncharted 4 , what comes n

The chief of the Wapiti tribe, Rains Fall is a father and pacifist in a game so bent on ensuring violence occurs. Rains Fall would rather suffer decades of violence and abuse at the hands of Americans rather than risk an all-out war between them and the Wapiti tribe. INFJs are diplomats who prefer peace and helping people over violence. INFJs strive to create balance and harmony in what they do, another fact which seems to ring true with Rains Fall. Unfortunately, Rains Fall’s pacifism is not rewarded in the events of the game both on and off-scr

We’re constantly hearing about how some of the main characters in the gang having been together for a long time now, various moments and robberies being referenced that sound like they were a lot of fun. Throw in the fact that they describe a time when the US was a lot friendlier to the sorts of people that would solace in the arms of a gang, and we think there is a huge chance for a fun game there. Give us a chance to take part in some of Hosea’s fun little scheme, watch how the gang slowly came together to be the gang that we came to know in Red Dead Redemption

Every kill in Red Dead Online earns you experience, but headshots will nab you double experience, so always aim high. This goes double for the bow and arrow, which on its own guarantees extra experience and becomes even more useful when combined with bull’s eye accuracy. Channel your inner FPS player and always aim for the head. Try not to rely too much on auto-aim, which won’t always do the trick; as you progress in the game, you’ll become a better shot, reaping the rewards that come with

This cup may seem small but it holds a more generous amount of liquids than you’d think, so don’t knock ‘em back too quick! When not in use, not only does it collapse into a beautiful memento, but also has a clip on the side, ensuring that you won’t lose it when you’re busy robbing tra

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

Red Dead Online is best enjoyed as part of a team , and whether you’ve got IRL friends to play with or you choose to let the game pair you with strangers, you’ll automatically gain more experience when travelling in a group. Travelling in a posse will open up additional challenges and missions, and there are certain awards that can only be obtained when you’re buddied up with other cowboys. You can set up a temporary posse for a single session, or pay $200 to establish a permanent posse that will remain throughout your entire experience with Red Dead Online . Either way, it’s a huge advantage to smart play

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

The 10 Best Red Dead Redemption 2 Characters, Ranked

The place is a dump when John arrives yet he fixes it up and builds his own home with Charles and Uncle in hopes that one day Abigail and Jack will return. In a letter to Abigail, John writes this line, and it fully represents how far John is willing to go to make things ri

Cory Barlog and his team managed to accomplish both of these things and turned Kratos from a one-note angry strong guy into an emotionally complex and relatable father. Doing that isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination and the journey you experience along the way is breathtaking and truly remarka

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 original Gears of War trilogy introduced gamers to one of the more unexpected villains in recent times. Queen Myrah, leader of the Locust Horde, is actually a human. Throughout the first Gears , the phrase “For the Queen” was thrown around by locust troops time and time again without any idea as to who the queen was. Once her identity was revealed, it was surprising to see that she is actually human. A traitor to her own people, Queen Myrrah is responsible for the deaths of millions and for organizing Emergence Day, the day Sera changed fore

John seemed down and out, working as a farmhand, family recently left, and struggling to make any money. During one specific argument, Abigail mentions Beecher’s Hope in passing not even necessarily serious about it, just the fact they needed their own place. After Abigail and Jack leave John at Pronghorn Ranch he goes above and beyond to show that he was listening, and purchases Beecher’s Hope with the help of Mr. Ge

Resident Evil has long been home to many great villains. The likes of Albert Wesker and Jack Baker just to name a few, but Resident Evil 4 ’s king of the Las Plagas was special. Lord Osmund Saddler deceives his way into a cult following and forms a plan of Open World Games Tips domination. To start this plan Saddler enlists the help of Jack Krauser, who is tasked with absconding with the President of the United States’ daughter. To make matters worse, once she is taken, Saddler infects her with the Las Plagas virus and plans to betray Krauser. This leads to an eventual winner-take-all collision course with Leon S. Kenn

GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam

While Sadie is attempting to recruit John full time into her bounty hunter work and possible transportation business, she suggests the work is so easy even Jack could do it. To which Abigail gets very angry and states not to fil his head with bad id

One of the most charismatic faces in gaming, Handsome Jack of Borderlands 2 is as hilarious as he is maniacal. Vault Hunters beware, Jack really is the Deadpool of video game characters. He is just as likely to crack an untimely joke as he is to kill you in twisted fashion. Constantly claiming to be the good guy and on the right side of things, Jack has understandable motives that are completely lost in translation with his murderous deeds. A very colorful vocabulary and an ego the size of Pandora make Handsome Jack one of the most memorable antagonists in hist

Often times the power to influence and manipulate is stronger than any gun, sword, or army. Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s Dutch Van Der Linde had the unbelievably powerful ability to trick and deceive, all while masquerading as a caring, compassionate man. To start off, he essentially preyed upon two outcast teenagers, John Marston, and Arthur Morgan, so he could raise them as his unquestioning supporters. He takes advantage of people’s bad fortune to gain their trust and essentially turn them into his mindless followers, and his power of speech is so unmatched he can talk men and women into doing terrible deeds and actually convince them they were doing good. As his true colors finally come to light, Dutch exposes himself as a murderous, money loving, selfish sociopath. In a way, Dutch talked himself into not only fame and fortune, but an early gr

Abigail Roberts is the wife of John Marston. After the disappearance of John, Abigail begged Arthur to head out into the snowstorm to go find him. She was once an outlaw but decides to adopt a more peaceful lifestyle later in the story. She used to be a prostitute and had sex with numerous members of the Van der Linde g

Red Dead Redemption 2 is very careful about how it builds up its characters and where their actions ultimately lead them, and the case is no different for Karen . Throughout the bulk of the campaign, Karen is presented as a no-nonsense woman who becomes an alcoholic after the death of Sean. Her actions become increasingly combative at camp leading up the game’s finale. When the smoke clears and all of Dutch’s gang is either dead or moved on, Karen is simply no where to be fo

Well, maybe not STUPID, but certainly foolish and empty-headed. For example, John gets captured by Leviticus Cornwall, forcing Arthur to once again save his butt from danger. To make matters worse, the subsequent shootout forces the entire gang out of Valentine. But John’s biggest blunder was selling the prized Braithwaite horses for a meager $700 when he could have gotten $5,000. Arthur turns to John with disappointment in his eyes and says the words we’ve all been feeling – “You’re a fool, Marst

The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at

Dutch ‘s journey from inspirational leader to unhinged despot desperately trying to gain control is one of the most fascinating stories in Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s one of the linchpins of the entire campaign. Throughout the game, as Dutch’s plans are continuously foiled, he begins to turn away from his most loyal followers (Hosea, John, Arthur, etc.) when they start questioning his leadership in favor of the villainous Micah Bell. Who never questions him at all, we should n

We’re not saying that the end of Red Dead Redemption wasn’t great on its own, putting the player in control of the main character’s son as they take revenge for the death of their father. However, we want to know what happens after this, how Jack Marston manages to live in a US that no longer wants the likes of this sort of cowboy in the Open world games missions. We think it would be interesting to see what would become of this character, how he would change as he became an adult and what being alone in a cruel world does to him. Definitely a sequel worth looking i

He decided to follow his father’s path of criminal activity, rather than better himself as his mother probably would have wanted for him. It leaves fans questioning his decision-making skills and a need to know more about his final decision to join a band of outl

By the time the gang reaches Clemens Point, Arthur and John’s relationship is a little better. While Arthur shows more respect for John, he still talks down to him and calls him an idiot. That is, until Jack is taken by the Braithwaites and given to Angelo Bronte. Arthur suddenly finds himself much more sympathetic towards John, and he tries to comfort him amidst the stressful situation. Once Jack is safely returned, Arthur praises John for his handling of the situation and starts treating him with more respect and admirat

Before The Game Awards started in 2014, Keighley also helped put on the Spike Game Awards on SpikeTV up until 2012 when television channels were replaced by Youtube and later Twitch. Let’s look at the last 10 Game of the Year winners for The Game Awards/Spike Game Awards, ran

We hated Micah, but we would be interested in a game that showed us exactly what he and his brother used to

Arthur and John’s relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur’s redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the “redemption” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p

Make It Count differs from Gun Rush in that players are limited regarding what weapons they have at their disposal. Instead of the rifles and pistols that make up the bread and butter of Red Dead Redemption 2, Make It Count forces players to use either bows and arrows or throwing knives. This might sound restrictive, but it makes the game mode better. No longer can battle royale players rely on the sound of gunshots to alert them to someone else’s presence.

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

Skull kids are introduced in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which was made before the year 2000. It wasn’t until Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask that the player encounters the most unique skull kid of them all. Once banished by the four giants, this skull kid returns to Termina only to become a prisoner in his own skin. Under the influence of the dreaded Majora’s Mask, skull kid starts wreaking havoc, including sending the moon on a one-way collision course with Termina. What separates Skull Kid though is that he is not inherently evil. A trickster, yes, but not evil, and he is being transformed before our very eyes into one of the most demonic Zelda villains of all t

10 Storylines in Red Dead Redemption 2 That Were Never Resolved

Rockstar games hasn’t let people down since it first entered the mainstream with 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III , which ignited a revolution within the industry, shattering sales records and becoming as influential to video game design as it was controversial. Since that seminal release, the studio has continued to top themselves with each new project. The company’s most recent release, Red Dead Redemption 2 , improved upon Grand Theft Auto V in almost every

Make It Count differs from Gun Rush in that players are limited regarding what weapons they have at their disposal.

While we don’t particularly like the character of Williamson, we do think that the past that he constantly references sounds interesting. Perhaps the Rockstar bunch could do a game that sees us take up arms and become part of the infantry, making a push against the Native Americans that are attempting to protect their own land. Maybe we wouldn’t actually play as Bill Williamson, but more as a character that regularly does dealings with him. We want to see whether or not he actually did do a lot within the army or whether it’s all t

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.

While riding with him along the mountains, Rains Fall finds out that you’re dying from tuberculous and offers you medicine he concocts from nearby herbs and plants. But that’s the last you hear about

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

In May of 2010, fans of action-adventure and third-person shooter games were given a rare treat; the ability to be a cattle-rustling, train robbing, cowboy in an immersive Western environment. As John Martson, a former outlaw, gamers were tasked with hunting down three members of his former gang in exchange for the government releasing his wife and son. Traveling through a version of the United States during the decline of the American frontier, gamers could engage in gunfights, play cards in a saloon, all the while having their morality levels fluctuate depending on their acti

There’s more to detail than inside environments too. If weather had an effect on the city, or parts of it were destructible, it would go along way towards making it feel alive. A Shenmue level of realism isn’t expected, but it should strive for something more than what it has done in the p

Forget headsets. _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ was made to be played with the proper headgear; a cowboy hat.
