Another entry from Rockstar Games , the GTA franchise is known for its evil protagonists. Technically, every success for the player in the series is a win for the bad guys, but in the DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, it's the antagonist who truly w
Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti
Dutch's origins as a runaway from his impoverished family struggling to make it, and his turn to thievery for survival, also lay the foundation for the gang itself. Dutch feels like an outsider in the frontier, a misfit that dreams of a better life. As such, he collects other outsiders struggling to make it and brings them into his family. He finds a brother in Hosea when they try to rob each other, similar to Anakin finding a brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two form the bedrock of the Van Der Linde Gang. Dutch then finds sons in Arthur and John , another pair of unfortunate kids trying to survive, and the stage is set for Dutch's series of betrayals in RDR2 . As Anakin turned his back on Obi-Wan and caused Padme's demise, so too does Dutch turn his back on Hosea and set in motion the destruction of John and Art
The Star Wars prequels are by no means perfect. Despite their flaws, though, the Star Wars prequels do have a solid plot at work. Literature is rife with powerful tales of heroes' tragic spirals into becoming the villain, from the once honorable Macbeth's betrayal of his king and country to Harvey Dent's path to becoming Two-Face and Walter White's journey from hardworking family man to maniacal drug lord. Every medium has them, and video games are no exception: from Bioshock 's jarring "Would You Kindly" revelation to the groundbreaking moment players realize Dormin's plans in Shadow of the Colossus . Red Dead is uniquely positioned, though, in that it can take the stories of the previous games which established the gang's tragic demise because of their erratic leader and wind back the clock to a time when he was still a hero. Before there was Vader, there was Anakin, and before there was the Van Der Linde Gang, there was Du
At the end of the game, after a long investigation into an arson conspiracy that involves corrupted and powerful individuals such as the mayor, chief of police, and even Phelps' former partner Roy Earle, Phelps dies a hero to save Ira, the one witness who can unmask all of this corruption. But in the end, the accused make a deal with the DA to turn in other conspirators, and they themselves get to walk a
Red Dead Redemption 2 beginner guide Dead Redemption 2 is filled with mysteries. UFOs, ghosts, sasquatches, time travel, and all other mystical sci-fi and horror elements will have players shaking in their cowboy boots. Yet, one of the more interesting aspects is a lost Englishman who might not even be real. When combing through the game's files, there's nothing on Gavin, just Gavin's friend, Nigel. All players can do is speculate and theorize on what Gavin's fate is, and if he was even real to begin w
However, some other users noticed the line, "I quit during the deer hunting bull*** and shelved the game," prompting some defensive remarks. For example, u/DuanePipe writes , "You don’t have a valid argument if you haven’t even finished the tutori
HDR is a relatively new concept to console gaming, as it can only be experienced on 4K TVs with high dynamic range capabilities. Most games with HDR look significantly better than their SDR counterparts, complete with greater contrast, better colors, brighter whites, and deeper bla
Biomutant , the post-apocalyptic open-world RPG game introduces a new and interesting system of morality with its auras . Based on the player's aura at the end of the game, they might end up with a good or bad end
But Red Dead Redemption 2 proves the exception, and some feel that the game looks noticeably washed out and rather colorless when HDR is activated. But u/solsikkebby loves it, writing , "I like the washed out, fake HDR look better." Many people would disagree, favoring colorful landscapes and general brightness over a drab palette, but to each their own. This is an unpopular opinion after
While this may be true, that's the case for every open-world video game, not just Red Dead Redemption 2 . This is also somewhat mitigated in-game, as characters will make direct reference to Arthur's prolonged absen
