**Red Dead Redemption 2 ** has its fair share of train robberies amongst its many bank heists and other various jobs. Maybe it's because train robberies are a staple of the old west that they’re used so often, but nevertheless RDR2 makes each train robbery feel different and keeps them spread apart enough so that the player can enjoy their time with the mission instead of it feeling like it’s the same mission repeatedly. If there's ever a RDR3 , Rockstar can always up the ante and improve upon the train robberies to add an even better vari
Initially, Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats Dead Redemption was a simple tale of a reformed outlaw trying desperately to turn from his wicked ways and make an honest life for his family while constantly being dragged back in because of his old gang. Following Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde Gang through RDR2, though, made the narrative a larger tale about a complete family of outlaws struggling to continue their way of life set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier as the lawless West gave way to civilization. In doing so, Rockstar made the Van Der Linde Gang and its leader Dutch van der Linde the actual main characters of the franchise, which makes the perfect narrative for Red Dead Redemption 3 to explore the origins of Dutch van der Linde in a similar way the Star Wars prequels showcased the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. While the western frontier of Red Dead may not be as fraught with heroic saviors and malevolent villains, the tale of a hopeful and ambitious Robin Hood figure turned narcissistic megalomaniac is equally as compelling as the origins of Darth Va
Arthur is often put in a position where he slaves away for other people, and by Chapter 4, he is exhausted and beginning to seriously question everything he's been fighting for . That's when he gets blindsided by his ex-fiancé, Mary Linton, who implores him to run away with her and to leave it all beh
The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va
No one has ever really come to the Grand Theft Auto series for a good story. The stories aren't bad by any means - in fact, some of them are quite great and have aspirations to be taken seriously on their literary merits ( Grand Theft Auto IV ). And while Grand Theft Auto V had a fun and engaging story, the one found in Red Dead Redemption 2 was simply superi
Location: East of Emerald Ranch and South of Osmon Grove
If players venture to the East of Emerald Ranch and just South of Osman Grove, they will find a pleasant hill for which they can set up camp. This spot is usually already taken by a friendly and unnamed stranger, who will invite Arthur to stay at his camp and share stories, to which the man is rather quick to confess his sick desires for a widow that he has found in the woods, all al
Tied with the "sluggish pace" criticism of RDR 2 is its strict adherence to realism. Some people find this an artful intent, others think it needlessly frustrating. To some, the game's weirdly strict adherence to realism overwrites its sense of fun, limiting imagination and creativity (not to mention slowing the pace to a snail's cra
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
But unlike GTA V , its side characters prove just as captivating and interesting. Everyone is given a unique personality, subplot, and/or character arc , everyone has their "thing" and everyone proves memorable - from secondary protagonists Dutch and John all the way down to Lenny and Kie
