If there's one thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 is often criticized for, it's the sluggish pace. The game is very meticulous in its tone and pacing, resulting in long stretches of serene horse riding (some may say boring stretches), needlessly extended animations when foraging and skinning animals, cooking food and crafting items,

That includes unique points of interest, random events and attacks, a beautiful view, some creepy and unexplainable sight, or even just that animal so desperately needed crossing the path. It's a lively wo

The three main characters of Grand Theft Auto V are quite good, and Trevor is an undeniable icon of gaming. But the cast of Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply on another level. Like GTA V , it contains a beloved protagonist in Arthur Mor

Sheriff Freeman asks what crime the man committed; upon hearing that it was a stagecoach robbery, Freeman will shoot the gang member. If the player gets too close to the scene, Freeman will warn John to back off. John can also free the gang member before he's killed, causing a loss of ho

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

There's no denying that Rockstar is one of the greatest video game development companies of all time. They have an incredible string of games behind them, and each product they release is almost a guaranteed winner. In an age when releases are becoming less and less predictable (see the disastrous launch that was Cyberpunk 2077 ), Rockstar remains a shining example of guaranteed quality and va

The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va

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 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 world found in Red Dead Redemption 2 Weapons Dead Redemption 2 is a gorgeous one indeed. However, some people have been critical towards the map, often pointing out the long slogs between locations, the general emptiness and barrenness, and lack of things to "

The company released two games throughout the 2010s - Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 . Both amazing games and both instant classics. But which title is the better game remains a source of debate and content

Tied with the "sluggish pace" criticism of RDR 2 is its strict adherence to realism. Some people find this an artful intent, others think it needlessly frustrating. To some, the game's weirdly strict adherence to realism overwrites its sense of fun, limiting imagination and creativity (not to mention slowing the pace to a snail's cra

Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti
