Following up the record-shattering Grand Theft Auto V was no easy task, but Red Dead Redemption 2 surpassed it with relative ease. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, stated that within the first eight days of its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold 17 million copies . That may not sound like a lot, but it's much more than what Red Dead Redemption sold in the 8 years of its existence. Intriguingly, not a mere five months after the game's debut, Take-Two Interactive's share prices dropped 20% with investors worried about the game's level of engagement. This highlights the reality plaguing Red Dead Redemption 2 : downplaying satisfaction. Intelligent investors knew that Red Dead Online was never going to be on par with its cash-grabbing cousin, GTA Onli

Lenny had a close relationship with his father and was willing to learn any and everything his father was willing to teach him. The watch was the last physical connection he had to his father and it likely broke his heart when he lost

If Arthur helps them out, then he can encounter them later on in the wilderness. The two ate some suspicious mushrooms out of desperation and needed some medicine to be cured. After helping them out again, the player encounters them one last time in a cabin, where they've settled and are living comfortably. It provides some closure for players who were invested in the well-being of this criminal

In Grand Theft Auto , one could catapult themselves through a car windshield if they crashed in the right way, serving as a public service announcement on the importance of seat belts. Unsuspecting horse riders in RDR2 found themselves jettisoning off their steeds if they ran into a fence or tree too f

Most of the time when people think of nicknames they automatically assume they're used as a term of endearment. That's not always the case as many times nicknames can also be used to tease or ridicule people based on their previous actions or mista

It's already been discussed how close Lenny was with his father and what their relationship meant to him, but how exactly did his father pass? Well, it turns out that Lenny's father was beaten to death by a few drunk

With Micah Bell, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who did earn a set of authentic and completely earned nicknames. Arthur Morgan came up with them and can be heard calling the Van Der Linde gang plague Micah Bell a rat, sickness, and snake. All of which are so perfectly fitt

Especially in the build-up to its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 was poised to be a Game streaming with no bounds. From the images and trailers I viewed consistently, the hype was as glorious as Grand Theft Auto V 's, maybe even bigger. Games like Nier and The Last of Us attained similar spells of immense hype, yet that same energy is still there. With The Last of Us 2 slated for release sometime later this year, the hype is ever-present and swirling, thanks to Troy Baker . Now, nearly a year into its life cycle, Red Dead Redemption 2 is faced with questions about quality. What could have been done better? Why has the hype all but dissipated? And what's with all the horse man

Saint Denis is a city full of colorful personalities that players can get to know throughout their adventures. One such character is Charles Chatenay, an eccentric artist who gets himself into trouble all the time. And he ropes the player into his shenanigans

The Ties that Bind Us is a fun Stranger Mission that sees players interact with two convicts who ask that their wanted posters be taken down so that they don't draw unwanted attention. Doing this makes for some fun interactions with a citizen who refuses to move away from a wanted poster, while another one is in the hands of a bounty hunter who won't let go of

Of Men and Angels is a quick little interaction, and that’s probably what makes it so easy for players to miss out on. The stranger mission becomes available sometime during Chapter 6 and is located within the streets of Saint De

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

Along with Arthur Morgan's journey, Sadie is one of the only members Arthur knows is loyal to a good cause. By the end of the credits, Sadie is a bounty hunter simply looking to bring justice along the American southwest in one shape or another.

In the game, Micah Bell is most often seen using his pair of double-action revolvers. For a man who isn't dedicated or loyal to anything or anyone, he's especially concerned with his guns. After Arthur Morgan breaks him out of the cell in Strawberry, Micah pleads to go back and get his guns. He specifically tells Arthur that there isn't anything in the world he cares about except for his guns. Despite carrying twin revolvers, players can only loot a single one-off of his body when he's killed. It's just another reason to despise his very existe
