One of the most aggravating things about Red Dead Redemption 2 is Dutch’s persistent defense of Micah’s awful actions. Micah is definitely one of the most hated video game characters in recent memory. He clearly only cares about himself, even going as far as ratting on the gang. Almost everyone in the gang can see through him, except for its leader. Dutch would continually side with Micah, much to our annoyance. We’re not sure what action Micah could do that Dutch would cond

Look, I get it. GTA Online is a milestone in online multiplayer gaming. It gives you unparalleled action, an incredible amount of game community types, and the creative freedom to come up with some pretty spectacular moments of gameplay. It has been running strong for nearly six years now, and new content is still being added all of the time. Despite all of this, online gameplay is not Rockstar 's best s

The Van Der Linde gang consists of many characters. Some are developed better than others. Then there are the ones that really stand out, for better and for worse. Even though we may hate some of these characters, that isn’t to say they are bad characters. In fact, they are completely three-dimensional and their motivations are in line with their actions. Here are five members of the Van Der Linde gang that we love, and five that we can’t st

Shepard might just be the friendliest space captain out of every major science-fiction franchise. On top of helping out her immediate friends, she gains the trust of a telepathic alien hive mind, gets the Geth and the Quarians to set aside their differences and agree to a truce, and even manages to earn the respect and admiration of a race of war-torn lizard people like the Krogans. She's so cool that everyone even sets aside a random day to just hang out at the Citadel and party with her before they have to fight off the evil sentient spaceships that want to kill everyone. If she's the kind of person that makes you want to postpone the apocalypse to drink some shots with her, then it's probably safe to say she's a pretty likable badass. Unless you're a reporter, that is.

Despite being in a world where sticks with rocks attached at the end are the height of scientific ingenuity, Aloy takes it upon to learn more about her surroundings and how to help the various terrified villages around her. Personally, if people were as mean to us as they were to her, we'd probably say screw them when the robo-raptors attacked them. But Aloy is inquisitive and compassionate, and even if people are generally awful, she'll still go out of her way to save them. As an added bonus, she also probably has a lot of cool stories to tell about the various dino-machines she's managed to ride.

The main character of the Half-Life series isn't much for conversation. In fact, he doesn't really talk at all, preferring to be the strong, silent type. Even though we don't know what his voice sounds like, we have a pretty good idea of the type of guy Freeman is. He's someone who apparently lives to help others, as across the Half-Life games he only seems to exist in order to solve problems that others can't.

Most games maintain a steady stream of information that floods the screen. Little markers delineating new destinations. A compass to coordinate movement with your position on the map. Reminders for the quest that you're undertaking. Indicators of health, stamina, or any other status that might be necessary. Everything is designed to assist the player and ensure that you're not lacking context. Red Dead Redemption 2 throws that out the window. You're going to die. You're going to get lost. That's part of being in the Wild West. Get used to it. And that perilous freedom means so much in an open-world g

Judging by B.J.'s chosen vocation of violent Nazi killer, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Mr. Blazkowicz isn't the most personable individual. After all, if you spent most of your time stabbing and shooting enemy soldiers, and being covered in blood and viscera, you might come across as a bit of an uncouth fellow.

**** A horse's worst enemy in Red Dead Redemption 2 ; the dreaded rock. You'll be galloping away at full speed, feeling invincible as you make through beautiful landscapes. Then out of nowhere, your horse trips and falls, sending you flying and landing hard on the ground. You'd think there was something you would've seen a mile away. You are wrong because it was just one little measly rock that nearly killed you and your horse. You might as well add rocks to the list of hardest boss fights in the Red Dead ser

The Van Der Linde gang may be a group of outlaws, but there are many roles needed to be filled among them. Leopold Strauss is the group's accountant and resident loan shark who handles the responsibility of generated cash flow wherever they

When you have to travel in an open-world game, speed is essential. Style, though, is something oft-overlooked. With that in mind, let's pay homage to the humble horse. The beasts are faster than humans. Horses look much cooler when they gallop. A man riding a horse looks suave. A man that isn't riding a horse is just, horseless. And let's not forget that you can ride them while using the Cinematic Camera. Because nothing says traveling in style like riding a horse while admiring the panoramic views. Horses are the b
