<br>Before diving fully into my gripes with something that only has just shy over a minute of game footage that’s been shown, let me explain what made the other two games so special. Both, Red Dead Revolver/Redemption were games that touched on a part of American mythos in the best of ways. Even other cultural mythos play into what makes these games so great, with many different backgrounds showcased. Each game is a unique tail of one man’s quest deeply personal to them. Not only exploring the characters presented fully, but also putting forth some of the best storytelling for video games of such a genre at each respective time. Each felt like a true American western tale.<br><br>Unfortunately, one key component to Red Dead Redemption 2 I have difficulty getting into is the controls. The controls are similar to the typical Rockstar open world formula (at least Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption), with a thousand different actions being assigned to a handful of buttons. This is a mechanical marvel with all the different systems at play, from gunplay, horseback riding, hand-to-hand combat, character interactions and so forth. Controlling Arthur feels loose and stiff at the same time, something I can never put my finger on, and I have a difficult time determining if it’s a good or bad thing. Sometimes it can be frustrating, while other times it can lend to the charm of the game. The gunplay is still top notch, though, with each of the old rifles, pistols and shotguns feeling authentic and enjoyable to fire, especially with the Dead Eye skill. There are a ton of different weapons to obtain, all of which are need to be properly maintained, which somewhat ties into the survival aspect of the game, such as maintaining food intake for both you and your horse.<br><br>As for the main story, it’s entertaining but far from revolutionary. It has its highs and lows, the lows being the lack of development outside anyone who’s within the Van der Linde gang. You get to meet a plethora of characters through Arthur’s journey and yet most of them only appear in one or two missions, outside of a couple of exceptions. Red Dead Redemptions 2 moves at an incredible pace to the point that most people in the world are disposable and sometimes unnecessary, making me wish there was more of a focus on specific story beats as it’s spread too thin in spots. With that said, outside of the phenomenal core cast, what Rockstar does right is create exciting scenarios. This is something the company is known for, crafting well-designed and often comical heists that are sure to go awry. Whether it’s robbing a train or a stagecoach, or simply walking through town, each chapter has a handful of standout missions that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Granted, the other missions are mostly broken up into your standard affairs, but at least they’re kept lively thanks to Arthur generally being assisted by another member of the gang.<br><br>Gunslingers in the wild west have been the subject of many memorable video games such as Gun, Custer's Revenge, Lethal Enforcers II and probably another one or two are in there somewhere. What is generally considered the most celebrated is 2010's Red Dead Redemption, or Grand Theft Equine as it's commonly referred. Like one or two other Rockstar titles, Red Dead Redemption was met with near universal acclaim and is still fondly remembered almost a decade later. The upcoming sequel is one of the most anticipated titles of 2018, and with that release just around the corner it seems like a good time to look back on the tale of John Marshton.<br><br>2015 is mere hours away, and I could not be more excited to say goodbye to 2014. A lot of things happened during the year that I liked, and a lot of things I didn’t. The games industry has plenty to prove after 2014 with numerous disastrous launches, delays and disappointments. Going forward into 2015 there are certain games I'd like to see announced, certain games launch, or specific things happen within the gaming industry. These are my wishes for the game industry; 15 for 2015.<br><br>After a few days John is good enough to start helping around on the ranch like any gunslinger who recently received a near fatal wound would. Before too long John is working with the US Marshalls and some other interesting characters. In the same vein as Grand Theft Auto, John ends up doing odd jobs for these varied characters to help form an alliance for another go at Fort Mercer. This second attempt goes better, except in victory it turns out Williamson is a cowardly bastard who fled to Mexico. This seems bad, but this also means that Mexico is unlocked and border crossing was much easier a little over a century ago.<br><br>It was the moments of quiet that were most enjoyable, just wandering the prairie through Redemption was enough to satisfy western fantasies. Both games also took place in the classic dusty west audiences have come to imagine <a href="http://ventspils.pilseta24.lv/linkredirect/?link=https%3A%2F%2FBlog.Wswl.org%2Fmember.asp%3Faction%3Dview%26memName%3DBeatriceHartnett03&referer=ventspils.pilseta24.lv%2Fzinas%2F46%2F171568&additional_params=%7B%22company_orig_id%22%3A%22128682%22%2C%22object_country_id%22%3A%22lv%22%2C%22referer_layout_type%22%3A%22SR%22%2C%22bannerinfo%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22key%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%5C%5C%22CV-Online+Latvia%5C%5C%5C%22%2C+SIA%7C2021-03-01%7C2022-02-28%7Cventspils+p24+lielais+baneris%7Chttps%3A%5C%5C%5C%2F%5C%5C%5C%2Fwww.visidarbi.lv%5C%5C%5C%2F%3Futm_source%3Dpilseta24.lv%26amp%3Butm_medium%3Dbanner%7C%7Cupload%5C%5C%5C%2F128682%5C%5C%5C%2Fbaners%5C%5C%5C%2F1352_visi_darbi_980x90_08.gif%7Clva%7C128682%7C980%7C90%7C%7C0%7C0%7C%7C0%7C0%7C%5C%22%2C%5C%22doc_count%5C%22%3A1%2C%5C%22key0%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%5C%5C%22CV-Online+Latvia%5C%5C%5C%22%2C+SIA%5C%22%2C%5C%22key1%5C%22%3A%5C%222021-03-01%5C%22%2C%5C%22key2%5C%22%3A%5C%222022-02-28%5C%22%2C%5C%22key3%5C%22%3A%5C%22ventspils+p24+lielais+baneris%5C%22%2C%5C%22key4%5C%22%3A%5C%22https%3A%5C%5C%5C%2F%5C%5C%5C%2Fwww.visidarbi.lv%5C%5C%5C%2F%3Futm_source%3Dpilseta24.lv%26amp%3Butm_medium%3Dbanner%5C%22%2C%5C%22key5%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%22%2C%5C%22key6%5C%22%3A%5C%22upload%5C%5C%5C%2F128682%5C%5C%5C%2Fbaners%5C%5C%5C%2F1352_visi_darbi_980x90_08.gif%5C%22%2C%5C%22key7%5C%22%3A%5C%22lva%5C%22%2C%5C%22key8%5C%22%3A%5C%22128682%5C%22%2C%5C%22key9%5C%22%3A%5C%22980%5C%22%2C%5C%22key10%5C%22%3A%5C%2290%5C%22%2C%5C%22key11%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%22%2C%5C%22key12%5C%22%3A%5C%220%5C%22%2C%5C%22key13%5C%22%3A%5C%220%5C%22%2C%5C%22key14%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%22%2C%5C%22key15%5C%22%3A%5C%220%5C%22%2C%5C%22key16%5C%22%3A%5C%220%5C%22%2C%5C%22key17%5C%22%3A%5C%22%5C%22%7D%22%7D&control=5b0efa0b776425130df2428233b95de9">from the ventspils.pilseta24.lv blog</a> spaghetti westerns, now veering toward more recent films such as The Revenant, which seems to be the direction Red Dead Redemption 2 is going. Not a bad thing.<br>
