Arthur Morgan’s hair actually grows throughout the game. If you’re not careful and do not get it taken care of, your hair can grow to extreme lengths. Arthur can look like quite the wild man. If your hair gets to be too long, you can take Arthur to a barber and get it trim

Announced details for the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 , along with extra pre-order bonuses for all three versions and a unique assemblage of real-world collectibles inspired by the g

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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was finally revealed last week to the surprise of absolutely no one. Black Ops has arguably become the most popular sub-franchise within the Call of Duty series so to see another sequel that continues that story isn’t shocking in the slightest. There was one noticeable difference when it comes to Call of Duty this year: the release date.

“We are incredibly excited about the October 26 th launch of Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 , as well as the upcoming releases of NBA 2K19 – which marks the 20 th anniversary of the series and the 30 th anniversary of the Visual Concepts development team – and WWE 2K19 . Fiscal 2019 is poised to be another year of profitable growth for Take-Two, and we expect to deliver record operating results. Looking ahead, we have a strong development pipeline across our labels and are exceedingly well positioned for long-term growth and margin expansi

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.

In the West Elizabeth arc during the first game, Dutch mentions plain and clear that John was legally married to Abigail. John fell in love with her and the two were wed while they were in the gang. There is nothing to dispute this. Come the second game, they are indeed married, except not rea

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 Online guide 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

I felt pressured numerous times throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 to care for the Van der Linde Gang. My campsites keep reminding me to socialize and donate my money to the comfort of the group. I must have sunken thousands of dollars to make the gang ha

“During fiscal first quarter 2019, total Net Bookings were $288.3 million, as compared to $348.3 million during last year’s fiscal first quarter, which had benefitted from the release of the Gunrunning update for Grand Theft Auto Online . Net Bookings from recurrent consumer spending accounted for 63% of total Net Bookings, as compared to 59% in last year’s fiscal first quarter. The largest contributors to Net Bookings in fiscal first quarter 2019 were Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V , NBA 2K18 , Dragon City and Monster Legends , and WWE SuperCard and WWE 2K

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the year. I shouldn’t have to state why this is the case to anyone who has played it, but just in case you haven’t, let me fill you in. The game… is… awesome! The story is a moving tale about one of the last few bands of outlaws left in the West. They are a close-knit group of people, more of a family than a gang, but you have to watch as the ties that bind them slowly unravel. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, we more or less know that the Van der Linde gang will fall apart , but that makes it no less tragic when it happ

Which might explain why Dutch is so swayed by him, but keep in mind that Dutch is an intelligent man. There is no real way he would let Micah manipulate him the way he does. Micah basically orchestrates the entirety of Chapter 6 with Dutch acting as a playing piece. Dutch, the most charismatic man alive, has no influence on Micah and is instead influen

So it really sucks when I’m clearly trying to do right by people, but, because some civilians got nudged a tad too roughly by my galloping horse, I suddenly become a villain. Regular townspeople can be a mite sensitive when it comes to how you interact with them…or around t

I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2’s release didn’t have as big of an effect as I’m pretending it would, it’s obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that’s why they’ve pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.
