Red Dead Redemption 2: Every Random Encounter In Armadillo/New Austin

A few days later in the same spot, the player can run into the brothers and Helen again. This time, their challenge of bravery has escalated to withstanding different punches. After three rounds of absorbing blows, neither brother is left standing so Helen decides to cart them a

If there's one thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 is often criticized for, it's the sluggish pace. The game is very meticulous in its tone and pacing, resulting in long stretches of serene horse riding (some may say boring stretches), needlessly extended animations when foraging and skinning animals, cooking food and crafting items,

Much like Red Dead Online , there’s no gold bars inside this mine. However, Arthur will find the water has been poisoned and is the true source of the strange local happenings. Filling up a small bottle, he begins pursuing a person trying to run away. Shortly after, the mine tunnel will explode. Poisonous air starts to fill up the caverns, so Arthur must escape quic

While Dutch may not have a Chosen One-type prophecy driving his narrative, it would be hard to convince him of it. Dutch believes unequivocally that he is destined to make a utopia for him and his own that fits his fantasy of a free frontier. The original Red Dead Redemption showed Dutch at the very end of his journey when he had no cards left up his sleeve, but even then the enigmatic leader had the last word and ended things on his own terms. When the story roles back to the downfall of the Van Der Linde Gang in RDR2, players see a much more nuanced Dutch with more of the charm and bravado for which he's known, but that slowly fades as the story progresses. Even as the game foreshadows that he is getting sloppy and erratic, Dutch still showcases hints at the man he was , who was able to inspire all the members to follow

Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing - so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod

The three main characters of Grand Theft Auto V are quite good, and Trevor is an undeniable icon of gaming. But the cast of Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply on another level. Like GTA V , it contains a beloved protagonist in Arthur Mor

That's certainly not the case with Grand Theft Auto V . Not only does it have a meticulous and lovingly recreated Los Angeles , but it's incredibly dense and packed with things to do, people and things to see, and random events that make the world feel lived

Initially, Red Dead Redemption was a simple tale of a reformed outlaw trying desperately to turn from his wicked ways and make an honest life for his family while constantly being dragged back in because of his old gang. Following Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde Gang through RDR2, though, made the narrative a larger tale about a complete family of outlaws struggling to continue their way of life set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier as the lawless West gave way to civilization. In doing so, Rockstar made the Van Der Linde Gang and its leader Dutch van der Linde the actual main characters of the franchise, which makes the perfect narrative for Red Dead Redemption 3 to explore the origins of Dutch van der Linde in a similar way the Star Wars prequels showcased the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. While the western frontier of Red Dead may not be as fraught with heroic saviors and malevolent villains, the tale of a hopeful and ambitious Robin Hood figure turned narcissistic megalomaniac is equally as compelling as the origins of Darth Va

There's nothing wrong with the dialogue in Grand Theft Auto V . It's serviceable and knowing it certainly does the job. But there's nothing really great about it as it doesn't stand out in any meaningful way. The dialogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 looks positively Shakespearean in compari

The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va
