Part of the appeal of playing a game in the wild west is the ability to explore. Sure there may be a lot of open world games weapons plains with nothing in them, but when a landmark does appear, rest assured it contains something important. From the crazy cave drawings to the aliens to the serial killer, Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with secrets. Some of which were copied from Grand Theft Auto V (like the aliens), but in this game they are a better realized as part of the wo

One of the main selling points of the game was the fact that it could be run at higher settings on PC than consoles can deliver. Unfortunately, the maximum possible settings exceed the capacity of even the most expensive consumer-level graphics cards. Still, with a good graphics card that can still be bought on the consumer market, the game looks beautiful, even if it is being run at medium/high settings instead of the highest possible setti

If the cast was better than that of Grand Theft Auto V then of course Red Dead Redemption 2 was also going to nail the story. As it stands the former entry is a great heist flick crossed with a pure modern mob f

Once the parallels are realized, it's hard not to take Arthur's (read: your) own decisions into consideration when playing Red Dead Redemption 2. These emotional connections, the way some actions feel morally repugnant even though it's all technically "still a video game," these are the elements which keep Red Dead Redemption 2 from falling into it's own trap of self-indulgence and overlong opening hours. And once all those gameplay options are unlocked, once players can ride or fish or treasure find or rob or hunt or collect bounties at their own discretion, the game becomes one of the most versatile open world experiences ever craf

Escuella served as a major antagonist in the first Red Dead Redemption , but his character was given significant depth in the prequel. He was an active member of the gang and was even quite close to Arthur, as the two bonded over fishing and horse stealing. The player actually starts to like him...until the acceptance of the inevita

His requests from Arthur led to the protagonist contracting tuberculosis and throwing Leopold out of the group for his predatory actions. Still, despite his lack of morals, he never outed the van der Linde gang after being captured and tortured to death by the Pinkert

You can even blow up that pesky and notorious train, which is infamously known as the bane of Rockstar games. The last option is a sort of zombie mode, which is a good combo with the other mods on this list if you want to plow through unsuspecting hor

It's actually apart of a larger physics mod, but with a key tap, you can automatically go into drunk mode... all the time. Red Dead Redemption 2's drunk mode has always been fun to play and too short-lived for those looking to play the whole game as severely drunk immortal John Marston. This mod also allows you to do more with your physics as well, so many more weird and floaty possibilities can hap

Lenny is one of the most tragic characters in the entire series. He is the son of a slave, and his father raised him well. However, he was eventually beaten to death, and Lenny killed his father's murderers in an act of revenge. This caused him to go on the run, and he eventually made his way into the Van der Linde g

It is good for what it is, but the characters just sell the drama so much better in Red Dead Redemption 2 . There were never any moments in Grand Theft Auto V where we felt connected, or sadness for Michael, Franklin, or Tre

Riding on a horse on an old town road is a dream come true for western fans. That said, getting around the giant environment without one is a pain. There is basically no fast travel. Horses also don’t come if you are too far away so if one gets stranded in the middle of nowhere then it is time to start walking. That problem is almost never apparent in Grand Theft Auto V thanks to the cellphone and the abundance of all kinds of terrain vehic

Rockstar Games recently released the formerly console-exclusive Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC. The game boasts a wide variety of quality settings, especially ones that can’t be achieved on console, as well as a few minor bonus content features. While the game looks great and plays well on a wide variety of computers, a still-buggy launcher makes it incredibly hard to get star

This entry comes down to a matter of taste. Does one like music from Western films like the impressive score from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ? If so then this is one of the best Western scores of all time from games to movies to TV shows. If one prefers a mix of modern and classic music on, say, a radio, then that person may dig Grand Theft Auto V better. It’s a tough choice as both playlists are great, but we had to award Red Dead Redemption 2 with this victory, as the music is almost fully origi

Despite the game being a prequel, it manages to build on the legacy of the first game and features vastly superior writing. Sadly, most people on PC will likely be focused on the online mode. Yet, if they manage to dip their toes in the single-player, they'll quickly become hoo
