<br>Red Dead Redemption 2 is a larger than life game with so many little details around the vast open world. The creators, Rockstar, are well known for their captivating and in-depth storylines in series like Grand Theft Auto , Bully, Max Payne , and L.A. Noire . As in many of their other titles, the developers have snuck several easter eggs into the vast world of Red Dead Redemption 2. These easter eggs have spawned many conspiracy theories around different parts of the game, including things that have to do with side characters and even Arthur Morgan himself. Everything from the supernatural to something as a blind man who can see the fut<br><br>The thematic discrepancies of this game couldn't be more evident to me every time that goddamn deer showed up in Arthur Morgan's dreams. These are brief sequences that felt like a fetishization of the frontier—they recall not just nostalgia for the Old West, but for the first Red Dead Redemption game, with the basic melody of the theme playing in the background. It can be debated for hours what the English-class level metaphor that the deer is meant to represent, but I had this feeling that by showing us Arthur trying to remember the "glory" of the West, the game is trying to invoke the same feeling in the player. Think of the way that Kingsman: The Secret Service attempted to argue in favor of bringing back the camp and irony of old spy films, which undid its own argument when the movie ended with an homage to sex scenes of James Bond films past, reminding viewers of how problematic that era was.<br><br> <br>A character that players will run into throughout the game is a blind old man that begs for money on the side of the road. If you actually comply and give him the money he will act as a fortune teller and tell you a tidbit about your character. The prophet part comes in when he accurately predicts things that will happen to Arthur Morgan, like predicting the betrayal of Micah and ultimately Arthur's passing. Even later in the game when playing as John Marston the blind prophet accurately tells John things that happened to him in the first Red Dead Redempti<br><br>[pullquote]"Thematically, both [https://Www.Reddeadinsider.com/ red dead redemption 2 beginner guide] Dead Redemption 2 and The Assassination of Jesse James focus on a commune of criminals and gang members, led by a charismatic leader who the rest of the gang eventually become disillusioned with." [/pullquote]<br><br> <br>The Cigarette Cards. Oh, man the Cigarette cards. These are absolutely impossible to collect in any sort of organized fashion. You'll just happen upon them now and again on your travels as you loot houses. But, if you want to collect them all for 100% completion or something, this absolutely sti<br><br>Lancer's design is hilarious; I love the thought of a chubby spade who rides a bicycle. I won't reveal any of the plot details, because if you've played Undertale but not Deltarune you have to go jump into it right now. It's a blast, and you should be playing it. If not, go play Undertale then this game. I'll be waiting. I'd put this game as number 1 if so many amazing AAA games didn't exist. Let's get into those now.<br><br> <br>The Arcadia for Amateurs questline is one you'll be encountering quite a few times throughout Arthurs journey. Albert Mason is actually an exceptionally likable character, which is rare in a Rockstar game, where everyone is essentially sociopaths. He's actually a nature photographer which some awful luck and steadfast determination. Throughout your many encounters, you save him from wolves, crocodiles, horses and m<br><br>As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2018 awards for DualShockers , there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just 2018 releases — can be considered.<br><br>Tetris Effect is a gem of an experience. With incredible, entrancing visuals that make you feel like you're in either the next Star Wars combined with a mixture of audio that flies around your brain and sucks you into the dreamscape, Tetris Effect is a masterpiece. Each movement subtly synchronizes itself with the music playing in the background, with the BPM adapting to your placements and rotations. For something as simple as Tetris , this game really puts an Effect on you.<br><br> <br>First is shooting bottles off their heads. Then they want punches straight to the face. Finally, they prove their commitment through going over a waterfall in two separate barrels and miraculously survive. Honestly, it's some of the funniest stuff in the game, the only downside is that it's split into three separate interactions, and they don't pop up on the map, you have to either follow a guide or happen upon t<br><br> <br>Next on our list is one of the only "non-stranger" missions on here. The bloodcurdling questline is actually just a random encounter and isn't officially designated as a "stranger mission". To stumble across the Nosferatu fanboy, you do have to have Saint-Denis as an available locat<br>
<br>I don't usually compile lists in my head of ten games because only a select few titles really keep my enthusiasm by the end of the year. However, when thinking about my backlog and the games that did come out this year, it reignited a spark in me that felt these games needed recognizing. Here are my Top 10 games for 2018:<br><br>Marvel's Spider-Man is the best superhero video game of all time. Sorry to the Batman: Arkham games, I love you - but this game is just so good. I'm kinda sad that it got snubbed at this year's The Game Awards ceremony, losing to the next two games on my list (spoiler alert)...and also got snubbed at our own Awards ceremony . Boy, oh boy, this game got pushed under the rug.<br><br> <br>The madness for Red Dead Redemption 2 mixed with the incredibly engrossing, unending world of the game makes for a few results - for one thing, some players might be too excited and ambitious to race ahead of other players that they miss some details. And for another, well… just take good care of the horse. That’ll catch up in a big way if you try any shortcuts th<br><br> <br>It’s no new trick on Rockstar’s end to tweak city names for legal purposes and otherwise take a whole lot of inspiration for their surroundings from real-life places, but it’s still uncanny and exciting to unexpectedly step into a long-ago vacation. This goes for St. Denis, a period recreation of one of the most fun cities - New Orleans. This may be more difficult to spot for players who haven’t visited the Louisiana party town, but for those who have, St. Denis has a wistful beauty. Sure, you can’t pick up any beignets but it’s definitely worth a visit for Southern enthusia<br><br> <br>So go into open world, get to rank 15 (not easy but so worth it) and make some cash to buy dynamite. Lots of it. Then (in online free roam), go to a fairly populated area and scout it out. Now go a few feet in front of you and set up some dynamite on the ground. Walk about six feet away from it and simply take a k<br><br>Red Dead Redemption 2 brings something new to the table; not in the sense of just being a fresh take on the open-world genre, but being a revolutionary landmark in the history of video games. Ever since the release of the original Red Dead Redemption , Rockstar Games has worked tirelessly on this project - controversially so, after the senior writers stated that they worked 100-hour weeks .<br><br>It's also extremely difficult. As someone who had never played video games would say, it's the Dark Souls of puzzle games. I should probably change the difficulty, to be honest. Either way, I'm having a blast with this game; I wouldn't even call it a game - but an auditory and visual experience. Go play it.<br><br> <br>If people think lassoing or killing you is cool because it ruins your game, make them feel the opposite and take the joy out of trolling for them. In other words, leave chat and your mic on and when people get near you, beg them to kill you, or if they lasso you bust out reverse psychology and tell them "thank you". They are doing it solely to feel the empowerment of being an *sshole, so when you strip that element from them, you might just be surprised how quickly they collectively lose interest in you and go look for some 14 year old who will legit sob into their <br><br> <br>In the 19 th century, tuberculosis was one of the main reasons for fatality as no cure had been developed yet. So while it’s realistic for Arthur’s fate to end this way, it’s definitely unexpec<br><br> <br>There are plenty of portrayals of Big Foot out there, but the wild giant of [https://Reddeadinsider.com/ red dead redemption 2 characters] Dead Redemption 2 is a dour guy. The lonely giant can be befriended only after studying at least thirty species of animals. Once you’ve proven your appreciation for wilderness , you can follow a flock of birds to Big Foot’s cave where he’ll begin to hold conversations with you. It’s a lucky stroke the guy can even talk, since he clearly doesn’t have a great social life outside of hanging out with Arthur. Rockstar definitely didn’t let the giant off the hook as far as being a sad st<br> <br>By Chapter 6, everyone's nerves are fried, drink is flowing, and Dutch has a particularly itchy trigger finger. Enter Molly O'Shea, who tells Dutch that she has been working with the Pinkertons. But...why? We later find out that Micah is the rat, not Molly, so this "plot twist" is rendered m<br><br>Far Cry 5 ranks at the beginning of my list for Game of the Year and it barely made it onto here. Let me tell you a story of how I even came to purchase this title. I'm a bad spender - give me money, it's gone in a week or two. I had money around the time that Far Cry 5 was about to release and I thought "meh, why not" and pre-ordered the game. It's a bad habit; help me. In doing so, I jumped blindly into a series which I had never really touched other than playing Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon at a friend's house in the previous years.<br><br> <br>Almost every random interaction in RDR2 spirals off into some incredible mini-task or goes on to reveal a bit of valuable information. That’s because after all the years put into this game, nothing is truly random. That said, these interactions are worth the time , no matter who it’s with… even a wild cult nestled near Valentine in the Cumberland Forest area. At the very least, it’ll definitely be an interesting time with the turtle-worshipping Cult of Chelonia (Chelonia is actually the name of the genus turtles fit in). Plus, some might think they’re bonkers for their claims about aliens but we know bet<br>
