Red Dead Redemption 2 Review PC

Part of the appeal of playing a game in the wild west is the ability to explore. Sure there may be a lot of open plains with nothing in them, but when a landmark does appear, rest assured it contains something important. From the crazy cave drawings to the aliens to the serial killer, Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with secrets. Some of which were copied from Grand Theft Auto V (like the aliens), but in this game they are a better realized as part of the wo


John is the quintessential man of the 19th century: masculine, hard-working, and above all, closed off. It isn't easy to get him to open up, so it's no surprise he makes this quip to Arthur during the Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign. It speaks to some pretty clever writing on Rockstar's part as well. While players were excited to get another game under the Red Dead umbrella, Rockstar makes it clear both in gameplay and with this quote that players are supposed to focus on the new characters rather than the old, nostalgia-inducing charact


The game handled combat very well with the mouse and keyboard scheme, especially guns. The aim-and-shoot mechanics adapt easily to the right and left mouse buttons, and everything about combat feels natural, even on horseback. Everything is very smooth and responsive, and missing a shot feels like a missed shot; not that a shoddy control system ruined it for


At one point during the game, little Jack Marston and Dutch encounter a dog that has gotten into the camp, they decide to keep him and name him Cain. Afterward, the dog can be found wandering around the c


John doesn't just click the up coming site have good voice lines during the campaign; he has some good lines during combat as well. During a gunfight down in Mexico, John makes quite a few good jabs at the army he's fighting, but one of the best is this one. It's trash talk at its finest, and if John has done anything in the two games he's in, it's prove that he's one of the sassiest cowboys in the Red Dead Redemption series. He can dish out insults like nobody's business, and there's no better place to do so than during a gunfight against a foreign army hell-bent on taking him out inst


Thankfully Dutch and Arthur are there to stop him otherwise who knows what Bell would've done to her, although with the skills Sadie shows later in the game, maybe the gang could've been rid of Micah early


In context, this quote isn't necessarily as funny as some of the others, but it's certainly a good euphemism. In a moment John shares with his son, Jack, the two of them see an airplane (or "aeroplane," as it were) and while Jack stands in awe of the sight, John has a more pessimistic reception to it. He knows the reality behind air travel and makes such clear when he says the quote above. Out of context, though, the quote does sound pretty hilari


If the cast was better than that of Grand Theft Auto V then of course Red Dead Redemption 2 was also going to nail the story. As it stands the former entry is a great heist flick crossed with a pure modern mob f


There are only two minor problems with the way that controls are adapted for the PC. One is that mouse prompts are initially unintuitive. When the left mouse button is highlighted for a prompt, it may seem like the right is, and vice versa. It’s easy enough once you figure it out through trial and error, but it’s still poor UI design. The other problem is that the controls often have the player using smaller fingers to hold down buttons that would have probably been pressed with thumbs in console control schemes, which is somewhat awkw


Kratos immediately started unnecessary wars as a god, as a big shining flipped bird to the other gods. His brutality we see throughout the franchise as he takes on other gods definitely takes things to the extr


Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both phenomenal games. In this scenario though, there can only be one winner. What Rockstar game has proven itself to be the better experience? What gives players more bang for their buck? All of these questions and more will weigh out the possibilities in a somewhat mathematical approach to evaluating the two games. At the end of the day, it comes down to preference and again, they are both fantastic games. This is just an interesting exercise so let’s have fun with


John Marston doesn't seem to have a problem making light of his past mistakes. This quote makes that very obvious. When Edgar Ross berates John for robbing upwards of forty banks in his earlier years, this quote is the quip John responds with. There's no doubting, especially in Red Dead Redemption 2 that John isn't the most upstanding citizen, but by the time Red Dead Redemption 's storyline starts, he's kind of put his worst days behind him. Maybe that's why he feels so comfortable making light of all the banks he's robbed in the p


Bell uses his tight relationship with Dutch to manipulate him into leaving Abigail in the hands of the Pinkertons as well as persuading him to turn his back on his long-time friend Arthur, even after he exposes Micah as the
