A very colorful vocabulary and an ego the size of Pandora make Handsome Jack one of the most memorable antagonists in hist

Ever since the wide adoption of the internet, Westerns as a genre in any medium have quickly become obsolete and niche to a point of almost non-existence. Recently there's been a slight resurgence in the streaming space put nothing seri


RDR2 has been out for less than a year, but Rockstar surely must be cooking up their next big game. If we were gamblers, we'd say that next game is Grand Theft Auto VI . Like every development cycle, it is hard to say how they will top their recent masterpiece, but it won't stop any daydreaming about what the title might end up being. The ten entries in this list will look at five things from RDR2 the studio should include in GTA VI , and five things that are better left staying in the old west.
