As part of Red Dead Online’s Showdown Series, Spoils of War functions like a drawn-out capture-the-flag type mode. Each team of players has a loot stash that they must protect. At the same time, they have to travel to the opposing team’s stash and take what spoils they can. Like with any capture-the-flag game, Spoils of War is engaging because of how much an individual player can do to help their team. Those who remain behind to guard the stash can still contribute. If you constantly pepper opponents with bullets out in the middle of the map, you are helping your team. You can’t go wr
He is the primary protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, which is shaping up to be one of the greatest games of all time. He is an outlaw and someone who lives a life of crime by choice. Also a member of the Van der Linde gang, Arthur Morgan is a major influencer in the gang’s decisions. Arthur is so much more than a typical square-jawed out
Arthur’s fate is a rather tragic one. Along with contracting an incredibly fatal disease, his relationship with Dutch deteriorates as well over the course of the game. His father figure, Dutch is a man Arthur clearly looks up to. At least initially. The longer _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ goes on, the worse their relationship beco
This is something you can only discover once you get to the epilogue. Taking over for John, you can go to almost any of the old towns and cities from the first Red Dead Redemption , but you’ll very quickly discover it is not how you remember it. This is particularly true once you enter the town of Armadillo, only to discover that the town has largely been abandoned. This is due to the spread of several deadly diseases that left the town’s population decimated. There’s only a small handful of people left, with the only one seemingly untouched by the plagues being Herbert Mo
Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game’s protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game. What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his n
The Ranch is owned by a man named Eugene Wegner, who you find out has a bad reputation if you speak with Hosea and other townsfolk. But no one seems to know exactly why . All you can really tell, without further investigation, is that his daughter, Mariam , goes to the upstairs window of Eugene’s house and is presumably held against her w
Tragically, the big spoiler isn’t that he has TB, but that he’s had TB since the start of Chapter 2. For the majority of the game, Arthur has had a symptomless disease waiting to eat away at him and it isn’t until he leaves Guarma that his constant coughing turns into something much wo
The one thing that makes the Name Your Weapon mode stand out is the ability to choose whether or not a player enters it by themselves or with a team. It’s a game format similar to Shootout in which everyone is trying to get rid of each other, but points have been attached to the various weapons in the game. The more “difficult” it is to eliminate a player with a certain weapon, the more points that weapon is worth. So, players who try meleeing their opponents are treated to a whopping amount of points if they succ
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
Leopold Strauss is a major recurring character in the chapters of Dead Redemption 2. He was born in Austria but came to the United States due to health problems. Upon entering the United States, Leopold Strauss and his uncle found themselves smack in the middle of the New York City riots of 1
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, link home Micah is the obvious culp
Most wouldn’t think a game about racing horses around while shooting targets could be so thrilling, but, surprisingly enough, it is. Players mount up for this game mode and have to race around a track while avoiding other players and shooting raised targets. The appeal for Target Races lies in its ability to make players multitask as they will have to focus on shooting targets, eliminating players, and keeping their eyes on the road. Target Races is a delightful cluster of madn
