_Red Dead Redemption 2 _ had one of the most colorful casts of characters Rockstar Games has created. The Western followed the story of a life-long outlaw, Arthur Morgan, a high-ranking member of the Van der Linde gang , a group of bandits on the run from the law after a botched steamboat robbery. Through their adventures across the American frontier, players get to know the Van der Linde crew. Each gang member's disposition shined in conversations with Arthur, but they were also reflected by the horses they choose to r

The game contained all the great gameplay that made GTA III so revolutionary, the Vice City setting remains one of the most popular in the entire GTA canon, and Tommy ( voiced by none other than Ray Liotta ) proved one of the best protagonists in gaming . It's an undeniable clas

After a failed attempt to blow up the tracks and halt the train from heading inside a tunnel, the gang must race across the snowy hills to the backside and hop down onto the moving train as it leaves the opening. It's then that Arthur and Lenny traverse their way across the train cars in a shootout with Cornwall’s guards as they head for the engine to stop the train. After shooting through the guards and putting a stop to the train, more guards emerge from the back of the train and in the surrounding hills. A massive shootout between the gang and the scores of Cornwall’s men erupts until there are no guards left standing. At the end of the mission, after blowing up the sealed metal doors with dynamite, Arthur also has the option to spare or kill the last of Cornwall’s men. This decision is solely up to whichever side of honor the player is shooting

Red Dead Redemption 2 's Van der Linde gang leader was a showman incarnate whose boundless charisma inspired those around him even when he didn't have any hope in his plan. RDR2 's plot was centered around the spiraling downfall of Dutch as he got his allies in exponentially more trouble with each convoluted heist plan. His lavish mount, an albino Arabian steed he called The Count, is an incarnation of the calm, composed, and elegant façade he kept throughout the most hectic parts of Rockstar's West

RDR2 Stranger Mission " Academia for Amateurs " is one of the most endearing missions on the list. Albert Mason is a wildlife photographer seeking to bring awareness to the creatures of the West, to better protect them and their environments. While his efforts are noble, he is more than a little naïve and often finds himself endangered by the very species he's attempting to document. Albert can be difficult to find in the wilds, as he often changes region, but players that can locate him at every step will be sent astounding photographs of the wildlife they help him obtain, which make great mementos of their time with

By contrast, Red Dead 1 opens much more slowly, yet with a remarkable display of bravado and stupidity from its protagonist. Forced to confront his old gang members in order to save his family, John goes to meet Bill Williamson, who's hiding out in Fort Mercer with a gang of his

Released just one year after the legendary Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City took the GTA formula to Florida, and what a surprise it turned out to be. Players control Tommy Vercetti, a convict and mafia member who is sent to Vice City (Miami) to establish a drug emp

While Dutch may not have a Chosen One-type prophecy driving his narrative, it would be hard to convince him of it. Dutch believes unequivocally that he is destined to make a utopia for him and his own that fits his fantasy of a free frontier. The original Red Dead Redemption 2 Updates Dead Redemption showed Dutch at the very end of his journey when he had no cards left up his sleeve, but even then the enigmatic leader had the last word and ended things on his own terms. When the story roles back to the downfall of the Van Der Linde Gang in RDR2, players see a much more nuanced Dutch with more of the charm and bravado for which he's known, but that slowly fades as the story progresses. Even as the game foreshadows that he is getting sloppy and erratic, Dutch still showcases hints at the man he was , who was able to inspire all the members to follow

The Star Wars prequels are by no means perfect. Despite their flaws, though, the Star Wars prequels do have a solid plot at work. Literature is rife with powerful tales of heroes' tragic spirals into becoming the villain, from the once honorable Macbeth's betrayal of his king and country to Harvey Dent's path to becoming Two-Face and Walter White's journey from hardworking family man to maniacal drug lord. Every medium has them, and video games are no exception: from Bioshock 's jarring "Would You Kindly" revelation to the groundbreaking moment players realize Dormin's plans in Shadow of the Colossus . Red Dead is uniquely positioned, though, in that it can take the stories of the previous games which established the gang's tragic demise because of their erratic leader and wind back the clock to a time when he was still a hero. Before there was Vader, there was Anakin, and before there was the Van Der Linde Gang, there was Du
