Kratos might be skilled at fighting gods and monsters, but he will be facing an entirely new kind of opponent at the 2018 Game Awards, as God of War is facing off against Red Dead Redemption 2 in every category that they are nominated
There are so many NPCs and playable characters in RDR 2 that you wouldn’t be at fault for think of it as a western Where’s Waldo . There is a lot to see and do, and Rockstar took full advantage of this fact with a notable Easter egg. In early November, Ned Luke, the person who voiced Michael in GTA V tweeted that the character could be found in RDR 2 . First was in the credits, and second as an actual character who speaks to you. Unfortunately, players have not yet spotted him, but they are hot on the tr
Consistency is important in any medium, but doubly so for video games. If the gameplay does not infer the narrative or vise versa, what’s the point of making a video game in the first place? Create a world that can only exist in this medium or don’t create them at all. Naturally, this means everything mechanic should co
For as much a stink Arthur makes about John leaving, he never truly sits down to confront these feelings of abandonment. This is made all the more perplexing when Arthur helps John leave the gang at the end of the game. Narratively, it’s a nice bit of parallelism, but it certainly hurts that Arthur never makes note of it on an internal le
Not every horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the same. Rockstar has put an incredible amount of work into establishing variance in just about every aspect of the game, and they did not hold back when designing the nineteen different breeds of horses. Each horse has their own set of coats possible, and there are quite a few different “tiers” of horses available. There doesn’t seem to be any horse breed that’s necessarily best, but there are some that excel at certain specific things. Some horses have different temperaments as well, though I’m not entirely sure that’s linked to the br
Bless Rockstar. They might be amazing at creating worlds, but on the controls front, they’re kind of stuck in the last generation. Luckily, they also provide a solution! Go into the options and head to “third person controls.” Change this to “standard FPS.” Next go to “accessibility”, “running mode” and change it to “toggle to run,” and you’ll no longer have to tap X/A to sprint! Instead, you’ll just have to click in the left stick, with crouch moved to
Have you ever wanted to live an exciting jailbreak scenario ? Well, as with everything else on this list, RDR 2 is prepared to oblige. First, you have to complete the main storyline and ensure that Blackwater is on complete. Once that occurs you need to commit a crime as John Marston in Blackwater and then get arrested. After that, just let the magic happen. Your wife, Abigail, will come to knock out the guard and break you out of jail. You can’t make this stuff
God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be competing through proxies in the Best Performance category, with Christopher Judge as Kratos and Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan representing their respective ga
Getting around the map the old-fashioned way (quite literally), AKA on horseback, is fantastic, and a superb opportunity to learn more about the world. That being said, sometimes you don’t want to traipse all the way across the map, especially if you only want to go to another town just for an item or a haircut. While you can ride in a train or a wagon, there’s an easier, and cheaper way. In the camp ledger, upgrade Dutch’s lodging, and you’ll be able to upgrade Arthur’s. This gives him a map in his tent, allowing you to fast travel anywhere, for f
This is the big category and the line-up is strong this year. God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 seem like the most obvious choices, but Marvel’s Spider-Man might also swoop in for a surprise vict
There are few companions that are going to accompany you for the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2, but one that will be at your side for the majority of the journey is your horse. However, like any relationship worth having, you’re going to need to put in some effort. Your horse isn’t just going to be your buddy from the get-go; you are going to have to earn its trust. Having your horse on your good side will make Arthur Morgan’s journey much easier, tho
As the saying goes, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea.” The same can more or less be said of Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Dead Redemption 2 : there are plenty of horses in the Old West. You’ve got a lot of different options when it comes to who you choose to be your traveling companion, and whatever horse you choose, they’ll be sure to appreciate the gesture. The more you use the same horse, doing just about anything, the more your horse is going to trust you. And in the same vein, the more you use the same horse, the more you may grow to trust the ho
In Chapter 2, Arthur takes Jack on an impromptu fishing trip. As John hasn’t been the best father prior to the events of the prequel, it’s up to the other men of the camp to serve as a good role model for Jack. Only Arthur is able to fill that role, however, so Abigail requests he spend time with the
