The Best Video Games From Each Of The Past 10 Years, Ranked

Would you believe that out of the entire Van Der Linde gang, Micah Bell is the only member Arthur Morgan could never see eating at any point in the game? Well, that's entirely true and makes sense for someone who wants to hide things from people. Not allowing people to see him eat also allows Micah Bell to have more creative freedom in his lies and opens up the door for made-up stories to cover his tracks. Another logical conclusion is that he's a demon who feeds people believing the lies he comes up w

After killing the men who beat his father to death, Lenny went on the run at the age of 15. He continued to live a life of constantly being on the move until he ran into Dutch and the Van Der Linde gang in the Grizzlies in 1

Where GTAV shines — outside of the ever-improving, insanely replayable online mode — is its living, breathing open world. There's so much to do and see in the new San Andreas that players could spend hours doing nothing of real conseque

Red Dead Redemption 2 's original score works equally as a thematic landscape of the old west as well as it does an emotional vessel for the game's narrative. The opening track, By 1899, The Age Of Outlaws And Gunslingers Was At An End , eerily sets the tone for the story of Dutch Van der Linde and his gang, attempting to remain outside the law in a country that no longer tolerates the concept. Afterwards, we're greeted with the slow whistling introduction of Outlaws From The West , before the game's iconic western theme busts in, truly establishing the story's vibe. The song, which would play perfectly with any western film from the 60s or 70s, uses its drawn-out guitar riffs and flute to set the landscape for a world of both incredible natural beauty and harrowing danger. We're instantly introduced to the feeling of hope that anything can be accomplished, and the dread that anything can be taken away, a concept that defines Red Dead Redemption

**** A horse's worst enemy in Red Dead Redemption 2 ; the dreaded rock. You'll be galloping away at full speed, feeling invincible as you make through beautiful landscapes. Then out of nowhere, your horse trips and falls, sending you flying and landing hard on the ground. You'd think there was something you would've seen a mile away. You are wrong because it was just one little measly rock that nearly killed you and your horse. You might as well add rocks to the list of hardest boss fights in the Red Dead ser

Javier Escuella experiences a big change during the events of the second game despite starting as a likable and trustworthy member of the Van Der Linde gang. He looks up to Dutch quite a bit, just like his closest friend on the gang, Bill Williamson.

It's clear that when Nintendo made The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, it was clear they wanted to honor the franchise's roots all while breaking the cycle they ran into following Ocarina of Time . Taking notes from the first in the franchise, players are placed in a Hyrule overrun by evil following the return of Ganon. Players aren't given any real direction and can play the game any way they cho

When Super Mario Galaxy launched on the Nintendo Wii in 2007, it was easily the best game in the series, but it was missing something — Yoshi. That's why when Nintendo made a direct sequel to the beloved title, they made sure to keep things relatively the same, but with everyone's favorite dinos

Deep down inside, Arthur Morgan is a good man. Just make sure to not tell him that. He’ll then go on a long philosophical rant on how he’s anything but. We get it, Arthur has done some questionable things in his time. Still, a man can change, which is pretty much the purpose of this game streaming. Just learn how to accept a compliment Arthur. Even if you truly believe it, everyone around you doesn’t want to be antagonized for simply stating an observation. Arthur can be a little too humble for everyone else to han

The most infamous quote in Red Dead Redemption 2 is Dutch’s constant reassurance of "I have a plan." Okay Dutch, please tell us what your plan is. We ask because almost every other plan and job we’ve done has just made things worse. Instead of just accepting that maybe his plans need more thinking, he just sits there and complains that nothing is working. He’s just so shocked that killing a high-profile industrialist actually has consequences. He’s also pretty upset when he realizes that robbing a bank in a large town would somehow go wr

Speaking of putting money in, how about when Arthur puts so much in and gets no appreciation? You could have recently put a couple thousand into the camp. Then once you decide to skip a day and enjoy the rest for yourself, you’ll criticized by Susan Grimshaw because she hasn’t seen you put money in for a while. To make matters worse, I’m pretty sure Arthur is donating the most out of anybody. If anything, there should have been a mechanic where we could see who hasn’t put money, then we can call them out oursel
