Red Dead Redemption 2 looks better in nearly every aspect, whether it be fine detail in things like hair, clothing, environments, weapons, or in the exquisite lighting sys

RDR2 's story begins in 1899 during the tail end of the American Frontier period, an era when shanty towns had turned into bustling cities like Saint Denis. This urbanization brought the rule of law over previously lawless territory where bands of gunslingers, like the Van der Linde gang, were free to roam the land and make a quick buck however they could. Throughout the Western tale, Arthur and his crew realize that modernization is shunning people like them, but it's the only life they k

Clearly, he is passionate about the city of Saint Denis, and doesn't want it to be run by corrupt men like Lemieux. This honorable nature makes him a stand-up character, although such idealism can be met with a cold, brutal death in the Wild West. Such is the fate that this man can possibly be exposed to, based on the choices that Arthur makes during this side mission.

It's unknown exactly what this building is or why it explodes, but further inspection seems to indicate it was some sort of moonshine distillery . There is also a charred corpse that can be found inside the house, though it can't be loo

No one has ever really come to the Grand Theft Auto series for a good story. The stories aren't bad by any means - in fact, some of them are quite great and have aspirations to be taken seriously on their literary merits ( Grand Theft Auto IV ). And while Grand Theft Auto V had a fun and engaging story, the one found in Red Dead Redemption 2 was simply superi

GTA V stands out in the Rockstar canon for its experimentation - specifically, the three protagonist system. Rockstar took a major risk in making three protagonists and forcing the player to cycle between them. It could have been horribly sloppy and confusing, and it could very well have ruined the g
