DecemberThe Nicest Badass Video Game Characters
During the game, players can hear a story about how Hosea originally wanted to be a priest. He goes on to say that "didn't know that you had to be Catholic to be a priest." This implies that he likely wasn't originally Catholic, but was rather a convert to the relig
Not every hero needs to be some cigar-chomping, expletive spewing stereotype who can't hold a conversation without blowing something up and then throwing out a pop culture reference. Some actually seem like pretty nice people, the kind you might want to take to mini-golf or play laser tag with. These are just a few of the badasses that we wouldn't mind inviting over for Sunday dinner.
Though he was older than Dutch, Hosea was the strategist and confidant who was arguably the only one Dutch listened to and took advice from. His death only accelerated Dutch's desperation. Here are 10 facts about Dutch's right-hand man, Hosea Matth
Heralded as one of the best video game previews stories of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2 takes you down a path of hardship, one that is unrelenting and pockmarked with violence. While your choices in the game may amount to nothing more than a morality meter, this doesn't quite affect the overall playthrough. And, with a variety of stranger missions and side quests to follow, there's still nothing more memorable than the experiences bequeathed in the original. One of the most fascinating mechanics in Red Dead Redemption 2 are random events, wherein the player can choose to assist an ailing passerby or ignore them. This, however, becomes a consistent nuisance as you travel throughout the wide-open sandbox. It's almost as if the game itself is trying to pry you away from your own experience at every t
Ever since playing the original Red Dead Redemption , one of my favorite characters across all forms of media has been Dutch Van der Linde. Struggling with demons from the past, fighting to live as an outlaw on the run, believing in himself as much as his followers, Dutch is a complex and complicated individual trying to survive in a world that has drastically changed around him. Much of what he represents and struggles with across both stories ironically reflects exactly what is wrong with the sequel game. Having waited almost ten years for a new, more beautiful Rockstar iteration, I could not wait to dive into Red Dead Redemption
Arthur can really get some impressive hang time if he's going fast enough. It also happens on some relatively small bumps. The less feasible, the better. The outlaw has been through far worse however, and simply dusts himself off from the traumatic head injury and goes on his merry
His decisions always get members and innocent people in harm's way. As the game progresses, he gets increasingly more vile and selfish. Despite claiming to be faithful to Dutch, it’s made apparent that Micah only cares about one person, which is himself. Kudos to Rockstar for making one of the most detestable characters in gaming hist
Ion Fury shows that there's always going to be a place for a filthy, bloodthirsty, borderline sociopath of a hero like Bombshell Harrison. It's just nice to see some gaming characters that would simultaneously help an old lady cross the street, while also firing off a machine gun. Maybe the best badasses are the ones who not only kill with rocket launchers, but also kill you with kindness.
The faster we approach its one-year anniversary, the less we even hear about the game. False reports of a story DLC made fans excited, though still very little attention was drawn to the game. It's ironic to see more news and excitement surrounding DLC content for GTA Online than any of Red Dead 's updates, which tend to get mocked and ignored. What happened? You would think a game ripe with fantastic graphics, awesome gameplay, and a spellbinding narrative would be enough for players to be immersed, yet it appears this very immersion is what has elicited so much―or, should I say, so little—backl
Particularly, the character loves shouting out "sure" with his trademark twang. Fans everywhere now impersonate it at every possible moment. Heck, some probably do it without realizing. Now, people can't help but notice it when playing. At least it rarely happens during the game's more dour mome
To its credit, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in a smoother state than most other open world games out there. Compared with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, it runs like butter. Glitches are still in there though, and happening upon one is always hilarious. One may spontaneously fly off their horse or fall through the geometry. As long as the bug doesn't corrupt a save file or hinder progress, they are always a good t
In the blink of an eye, a decade can race past us, leaving us feeling older, and hopefully, wiser. Still, when looking back at the last 10 years of video games, it's kind of crazy to see how far we've come. In fact, when compiling this list, we couldn't believe how old some of our favorite games of all time really were. Still, time marches on, and when it comes to video games, we're left with more and more memories with each passing y
