The biggest rebuttal to theentire argument that I've laid out here is that Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't even direct competitors with one another, which I do agree with. While there is definitely some crossover fans between the two franchises, it's likely that Call of Duty will Read Significantly more directly be competing in the shooter market with EA's newest Battlefield title which we know will be releasing later this year. Despite this difference of genres, Red Dead still is a monster that Activision cannot afford to ignore.

Once there you'll see the wreckage of a crazy looking flying contraption with a skeleton in it. This is probably a reference to the Wright Brothers who started building machines in 1899. This is one of their failed attempts perh

I'm quite proud to say I discovered this next anomaly on my own. It was fairly early on in the game. I was heading back to camp from Valentine on the main road when I discovered a red trail leading up to a bridge. There you can start the serial destroyer's quest, which is quite intense. He leaves clues using human bodies. If you figure out the clues you'll get to see a pretty amazing discovery. I won't spoil who it is though, but it's worth

This is another find that is perhaps just the start of another quest. If you head directly south of the I in Ambarino, you can find a house reminiscent of ones you can find in The Shire from The Lord of the Rings . Unfortunately, you can't go inside. There is something else off about it though. Above the door is a turtle symbol, the same one the cult Mary's brother tried to join. Is there a connection? Perhaps we'll soon find

That's another huge open world game where discovery is just as fun as the main tasks. The reason why I was so addicted to it was, one, it's a great world to explore. Two, there were plenty of ways to fast travel and get around thus incentivizing me to keep exploring. Red Dead Redemption II doesn't do that. It has travel hubs, which are far off from the places you want to see. Actually getting to these areas from towns isn't the problem. It's getting back in one piece. Maybe I'm just too irritable. No matter, point is, thank goodness for everyone else out there. Let's get to

GTA Online: After Hours , which enables players to partner with legendary club impresario Tony Prince to open and operate a top-shelf nightclub featuring world-class DJ acts and use that club as a front for a network of criminal enterpri

Bonnie MacFarland is the woman who saves John Marston's life at the beginning of the first game. Once you get close you'll learn she's had many suitors, but nothing ever turns out well for her. If you go southeast of the first N in New Hanover, and follow the river, right about there you will see a man, presumably eliminated, next to a boat. If you try to loot him, he'll gasp for air before eventually going in peace for real. In his clutched fist is a love letter for Bon

Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I've ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it's also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone's head or one of their limbs, then uh...things aren't looking at all good for t

Even if Red Dead doesn't have the same sort of brand recognition and widespread appeal as GTA , there's no denying that gamers are hungry for the open world western. It's been eight years since Red Dead Redemption released and fans have been begging for another entry in the series for what seems like an eternity at this point. Plus, this will be the first native console game Rockstar has developed this generation so the Rockstar thirst is real. If the week one sales for Red Dead Redemption do even half of what Grand Theft Auto V did when it made over one billion dollars within its first week of release, then it'd still be an absolute beast to have to contend against in any subsequent weeks after launch.

Remember when Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in the same week last year? Despite Horizon being a phenomenal game-- some would say the best of last year -- Breath of the Wild still ended up dominating the conversation in the casual and broader gaming scene. I imagine that Red Dead Redemption 2 will end up being one of those conversation-dominating titles as well, which means it's likely better for Activision to just stay out of its way after release.

God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be competing through proxies in the Best Performance category, with Christopher Judge as Kratos and Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan representing their respective ga

Weak is not a word you'd normally associate with a sawed-off shotgun, I'll grant you. However, in this game, it is a little pointless. Sure, early in the game, it's the most powerful weapon you have to hand, however it's let down by a proxy capacity of just two shells. Rely on this in a gunfight and you'll be filled with more holes than Swiss cheese in no time. Once you unlock any long-barreled shotgun, switch to that immediately, for heaven's sake, and experience the joy of firing off five shells per rel
