I’ve also held more personal titles, such as Son and Husband. While I’ve had my moments of triumphs in those roles, I’ve also faltered mightily, which was far worse than failing in any of my other titles. As such, the role of Gamer is the title that has withstood the test of time. It’s also really the only thing I’ve consistently excelled at with each passing year of my l

A criticism often levied at the narrative of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that Micah's intentions are obvious from the beginning. The argument is that it feels like heavy-handed foreshadowing that leaves little to no surprise for the story's climax. Counterarguments hold on the idea that Micah feels much more realistic as a character because he's so obvious in his intentions to Arthur. It helps showcase that greed will often supersede loyalty if the circumstances fit. Micah isn't meant to trick Arthur, he's meant to show how easily Dutch could be manipula

After bringing him home, life was back to normal - or rather, the new normal. I pretty much immediately went back to writing about and reviewing video games. But now, I was doing so with more of a financial-driven interest, while at the same time navigating how to be a father and helping out in any way I co

There aren't many noble characters in the Red Dead Redemption series. Instead, the games are filled with murderous outlaws and cold-blooded government agents. Even John Marston, who was one of the most honorable people in the Red Dead universe, constantly rode the line between good and bad in both Red Dead games. Sometimes he killed and robbed people; other times, he saved lives and helped those in n

Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018 and in the years since fans have debated who the best characters in the game were. Outside of actually playing the game, the Red Dead Redemption sequel featured fantastic writing that displayed wonderful character arcs and growth for many of the members of the Van Der Linde g

Going into Red Dead Redemption 2 fans understood that this was Arthur Morgan's story, but John Marston would play a key role in the events. When Arthur's journey ends most people were caught off guard at the reveal of the game's Epilogue that had players controlling John up until the events of the first Open world game DLC. Players can use the Epilogue to travel around and discover what the character's from the games main narrative has been up to. GTA VI including an Epilogue is unlikely but would be a welcome surprise to m

With the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 set to release in 2020, gamers are wondering when Rockstar Games will reveal Grand Theft Auto VI . Their last major release, Red Dead Redemption 2 , was a critical darling, but those clamoring for the modern satire are still wait

Through the conversations in the game, characters like John Marston were on the receiving end of some pretty powerful and influential quotes. Let's now look at the 10 best quotes found in Red Dead Redemption

Most of the time, these deaths are well intricated into the story and character development. Sometimes, though, the deaths can lead to controversy among gamers as they come out of nowhere or don't live up to the built-up hype. Major spoilers will fol

The death of Cole Phelps comes out of nowhere. After uncovering the suspect of a series of arson cases, Cole and Jack Kelso confront him in a sewer system. They capture and end up killing the suspect, but Cole is unable to escape the sewer before floodwaters pound into

Arthur tells John, "Go. Now. I'll hold them off. It would mean a lot to me...please." During this Arthur hands John his hat, which became the iconic one John wears in the first game. It's the last interaction the two ever had and was likely the moment Arthur came to peace with the fact he was about to meet his

With GTA Online being such a runaway success in terms of popularity and revenue, it seemingly killed the idea of Rockstar Games ever making single-player downloadable content. Their last two major releases didn't receive any story DLC despite their previous entries receiving industry-leading DLC content. GTA IV will have a single-player campaign to some extent, but don't expect it to be as locked-in and intimate as Red Dead Redemption 2 's. Money speaks and Rockstar likely looked for a way to integrate GTA Online into the single-player portion of the g

One misdeed that John actually stopped the Mexican army from committing was the execution of some innocent people. Marston was having a drink with the famous gunslinger, Landon Ricketts when Luisa came in to inform them that Colonel Allende was sending prisoners to their deaths without tri

There was always a little voice in the back of my mind that kept saying, "You’re just like your father," when I felt like I was failing. Thankfully, I never let that noise prevent me from doing what I needed to do, because Declan deserved - and continues to deserve - my very best as his fat
