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

Except she didn’t rat the gang out at all, she lied simply to get a rise out of Dutch. Whether or not she did so to pull off a “suicide by cop” scenario is left unclear (and for the better, honestly,) but it’s one of the more layered, nuanced spoilers in the g

Complete your gaming room with these high-quality video game posters from _ Red Dead Redemption 2, _ evoking the high contrast, recommended site pigment-packed posters of classic spaghetti-western films from the ‘70s like _ The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly _ or _ Fistful of Dollar

Choose from three different images on your color changing mugs – two alternate game logos, and one sunset silhouette. The images will span across all three mugs for a masterpiece that’ll surely inspire your best gam

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

The bank heist is the moment _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s story irreversible changes. In one fell swoop, John Marston is left to die (for the first time) and Hosea dies. Dutch’s clear foil, Hosea, kept the gang more or less grounded in the face of Dutch’s more bombastic personality. More importantly, Hosea kept Dutch in-l

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

Unfortunately, it actually contradicts rather important information from the first game where John claimed he hadn’t seen Dutch since he left the game. Clearly, this mission takes place long after that fact. Either way, it’s an interesting narrative beat even if it doesn’t make sense. Plus, it directly ties itself into the first game once the credits are thro

None of this is possible though, without a character with the perfect mesh of personality. John Marston is arguably the best protagonist in all of gaming, a believable man, and a natural creator of memorable quotes. His personality is what helped make the game so attractive, and this list will pay homage to his best lines from Red Dead Redemption

Shootout is Red Dead Online’s version of deathmatch, and players can play a free-for-all or team mode of it. It’s a classic take on a game mode that has been around since the dawn of first-person and third-person shooters. Like Gun Rush, it is a fun mode, but the gameplay, or should we say “gunplay,” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is not its strong suit. It’s all fun and games to play as cowboys for a little bit, but without the precision usually required for a competitive shooter, Shootout falls sh

The most important aspect of Molly’s “betrayal” is that it gets the heat off of the actual rat, Micah Bell. Throughout the game, Micah is built up as the clear antagonist. He is Arthur’s foil, actively going against the gang’s best wishes but managing to win Dutch’s respect, affection, and admiration. Without Molly giving herself up, Micah is the obvious culp

The back of every card boasts art from _ Red Dead Redemption _ , while the Rockstar Games emblem is in the upper and lower corners. These are an exact replica of the cards used in the game, perfect for a collector or as a complement to an Arthur Morgan cosp

Even in the face of adversity and two guns drawn on him, John still declares his loyalty to Arthur stating “Arthur saved my life, more than once”. Realizing how dire the situation looks, John stares at Dutch and pleads this quote. He follows up by saying killing him won’t help anything which actually appears to leave Dutch speechless. John follows up demanding and screaming that Dutch say something, anything, and as Dutch stares back he proceeds to shoot Micah in the abdomen, leaving him for John to finish. The redemption arc has finally come full cir

It wasn’t long before we found out how John got his signature scars. After fleeing north following the Blackwater heist, John and Micah go out to scout for supplies and shelter. However, John gets lost like a doofus and is attacked by wolves. The wolves take out John’s horse, scratch his face, and leave him to perish. Luckily, Abigail’s Spidey sense starts tingling, and she sends Arthur and Javier to rescue him. Of course, Arthur and Abigail weren’t too happy about the whole ord

Is there anyone out there that has played Red Dead Redemption 2 but would choose to argue against the concept that Adler deserves her own game, that she is one of the greatest characters that Rockstar has ever created and therefore should get to star in a game of her own. We get to see her grow into something brilliant throughout the game, so it would be great to then see what becomes of her once the prequel game is over, especially as we don’t see anything of her during the first game in the series. What is it that this woman ends up doi

Along with the Showdown Series, Red Dead Online ’s Race Series will test your horse riding skills against a host of online competitors. Standard and open world Games secrets races are purely speed competitions, but the newly patched target races add an extra layer of challenge as players must hit targets while they race against other riders. Winning these races is one of the best ways to farm XP, and practice makes perf

We love Lenny because of his great personality and relationship with Arthur Morgan. Who could forget that mission where Arthur is in the saloon searching for Lenny in his drunken stupor? Every mission seems more enjoyable when Lenny is present. He is a good friend to Arthur Mor

In the ten years that takes place between the prequel and the sequel, we want to see what sort of life the charismatic gang leader was living. Giving us a game where we get to finally play as this man would be interesting, perhaps forcing us to try and survive on our own before creating our own gang, working against a country that no longer wants us th

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , the main character, CJ interacts with a man named The Truth. This guy is involved in a few missions within the game and drives a pretty psychedelic camper. However, who is this guy? Well, if you guessed conspiracy theorist and believer in alien life, you would be corr

Gang hideouts are hidden throughout the world of Red Dead Online , and clearing them out is a great way to gain experience as well as extra cash and items. While wiping out a hideout itself will nab you experience, headshots and executions make up the bulk of your rewards. Saving the gang leader for last will often earn you a treasure map which you can follow to find rare items and equipm

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

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

The success of the widely acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 is owed to its dynamic characters who draw emotion so intense that it can seem palpable. It’s been almost a year since its release, but the hype for the game remains str

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

To a certain extent, Rockstar could use some of the mechanics they’ve come up with in the past, such as the ones that were showcased in LA Noire, to set up a game that sees us go up against the exact sort of people we played as in the first two games in the franch

Now that the second Red Dead Redemption game has come out, we have had a lot of questions answered, a lot of questions posed, and a lot of characters put in front of us that we would like to see in more video games if we’re being totally honest! What we’ve done is put together some ideas for prequels and sequels that could take place in the Red Dead Redemption , the sort of thing that we want Rockstar to create when they settle down to create something new in the series! We wouldn’t be surprised if they do end up using some of these ideas in the futur

The resident crime boss of the game, Angelo Bronte is in the business of defrauding officials and making powerful friends. He is an intelligent antagonist, who knows how to make a deal and subtly mock his opponents in the same breath. Angelo Bronte’s main time to shine in the game is during the Mayor’s party; classic ESFP m
