I know that might sound like a dumb thing to say initially that Activision is scared of any game when touting their own prizefighter. Call of Duty has proven itself to be the juggernaut in the Fall window time and time again. As a famous meth-maker would say, they are the danger — Call of Duty is the one who knocks; but not this year.
We’re in an unprecedented year where we’ll get to see gaming’s highest selling annual franchise face off against the developers behind history’s highest sold game. It’s going to be a fun fight to watch, but come October, I think I’ll put my money on the cowboy.
Out of all the hidden masks and hats out there, this example is one of the harder to find. Head out to the Bayou right above where it says Lakay on the map. If you come across a little shack half submerged in the water, you’ve found the right pl
Kratos might be skilled at fighting gods and monsters, but he will be facing an entirely new kind of opponent at the 2018 Game Awards, as God of War is facing off against Red Dead Redemption 2 in every category that they are nominated
By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they’ll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead . It’s essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.
With so much to do, it can be hard to decide where to go next. Do you continue the rip-roaring campaign? Do you help a criminal stuck in the middle of nowhere? Do you waste your money and get flat out drunk? Lucky for you, we at The Gamer have compiled a list of the most unique side missions in Red Dead Redemption
You play as an outlaw on the frontier in Red Dead Redemption 2, so not much peaceful diplomacy occurs when you find yourself in a sticky situation. More often than not, you’ll have to whip out your guns faster than a greased rabbit on a slippery hot skil
This NPC is around the top of New Hanover and seems to have literally hollowed out a tree for himself. Don’t ask me how. I have no idea. But, Arthur can converse with him and that’s where we find out he’s dubbed himself the so-called “King of the Forest”. A bit narcissistic if you ask
Holding L2 or LT, depending on your system, and clicking in the left joystick will prod Arthur into giving your horse a reassuring pat on the head/neck, which keeps your horse reasonable and gains a little bit more of your horse’s tr
Most likely, your travels in Red Dead Redemption 2 are not going to be peaceful little getaways. You’re going to run into many dangerous situations as you make your way through the game, and your horse is going to notice them; each and every one. From straying a little too close for comfort to a predator, to getting into a gunfight, or any number of other risky situations you get into, your horse is going to get uncomfortable pretty of
Things weren’t as bad as I thought they would be. Sure, I got a bounty on my head, but I was able to pay it off lickety-split. The honor system works a little strangely in Red Dead Redemption 2 . You could perform the worst of human atrocities on a poor little town, but if you throw a little money their way, everyone will forget about
This is the big category and the line-up is strong this year. God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 seem like the most obvious choices, but Marvel’s Spider-Man might also swoop in for a surprise vict
God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will be competing in the Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, Best Audio Design, Best Action/Adventure, and the Game of the Year awa
When you combine these strong initial sales that Red Dead 2 is sure to have with the fact that it will have an online mode that could bring in as many people as GTAV , then you start to realize that many gamers might not be as quick to run out and purchase Black Ops 4 as normal. If Red Dead Redemption 2 Animals Dead were to have its hooks in players by the time Black Ops 4 was to release in its typical November spot, I have no doubt that sales would suffer at least a degree.
Love for Red Dead Redemption 2 has been going strong since the game’s release. If you’ve played the game yourself, you’ll know that all of this love is deserved. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an exemplary model of an open-world game. The vistas are gorgeous, and the individually rendered parts of your character can hypnotize you. Seriously, I had a tragic horse accident because I was so busy staring at how my coat and saddlebags jostled as we galloped al
Activision isn’t going to take any chances launching their game after Red Dead Redemption 2 for good reason. The last title that Rockstar Games released– Grand Theft Auto V –went on to become the highest selling game of all-time . Even crazier is that it’s still charting on NPD what seems to be every month nearly five years after its initial release.
