The last thing to happen in the series is Jack Marston gunning down retired Pinkerton Agent Edgar Ross in an act of vengeance. Some may argue that one doesn't deserve such violent retribution for simply doing their job, but the Pinkertons did their service through nefarious me

The Pinkertons didn't make good on their promise, however, and mowed him down in cold blood. It was entirely unnecessary, as John had put that life behind him and was eager to settle down. Unfortunately, some people won't let others forget their p

You'll be hard-pressed to figure out what you're missing in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The main storyline could be complete and you could have wandered about the wilderness for hours, but you're sure to find something you previously missed. There are so many encounters waiting beyond the horizon. No icons on the map will guide you to every little moment. Make your own moments. And the shroud of uncertainty that blankets what you should do next is thrill

When you sit down to play an open-world game, a to-do list usually builds until you have item after item that you need to cross off the list. One quest leads to another. Or more likely, one quest begins only to be derailed by the introduction of another quest or an errand that you need to run or a dungeon you've never seen before. Have you ever just wanted to start your morning by sitting down for a cup of coffee? Small details in Red Dead Redemption 2 really ground you in the world. There's not always a quest to finish. You may spend your days wandering and not really find a quest. And that's o

Rockstar seems to relish injecting strange experiences into their games. Things that don't fit. They scattered amusing detours in GTA V that have players chasing down leads for wacky stories. And they've done the same in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Not everything has to fit perfectly into the narrative of an open-world. Humanity has weird conspiracies, and the world is full of strange, bewildering things. Red Dead Redemption 2 reflects those oddities. And it makes exploring all the more rewarding when you stumble across something that doesn't make any se

He doesn't get a lot of characterization in the first Game Lists, but the prequel does a solid job of making the player hate his guts. He sides with Micah during the standoff at the end of Arthur Morgan's story, and runs away after the Pinkertons drop by. Good riddance to you, traitorous Bill William

The Legendary Big Horn Ram doesn’t really have many distinct features from the other variants of the Ram, outside of its larger horns and its white coat. It’s not too difficult to find, and players can easily hunt it on horseback due to its skittish nature but lack of sp

Seeing her slowly realize her mistake in abandoning her prior life for the love of Dutch van der Linde was tragic, and this most likely lead to her falling deeper into the drink. The gang's leader has the gift of the silver tongue, and it led people to make regrettable decisi

It is still unclear why Molly did what she did to earn herself a hole through the chest via shotgun. If she didn't squeal to the Pinkertons, then why did she claim to do so? Perhaps it was her idea of getting back at Dutch in a drunken r

Is a machine not working properly? He'll find the switch or plug that'll make it work. Too many Combine soldiers getting in the way of the resistance fighters? Don't worry, he'll crowbar them to death for you. Need to vent about your worries regarding the end of humanity as we know it? Feel free to talk away, as Gordon is an excellent listener. He doesn't speak much, but he's a true blue friend, and he even doesn't mind picking up the beer tab, as long you get him back after this whole alien war business is taken care of.

The Wild West is synonymous with freedom and possibility, even if those possibilities are less than virtuous. The Pinkertons worked as the government's dirty hand in bringing that chaos to order through whatever means possible. Bank robbing is dirty business, but so is spying on labor unions and intimidating organizers, activities that were common for the Pinkertons back then. The player doesn't get to pull the trigger on Andrew Milton, but it was still so satisfying to see Abigail put a bullet through the side of his sk

After leaving the freezing temperatures of Colter in Ambarino, most players won’t want to head back. However, putting on some winter clothing and retreading into the snow to the icy lake of Lake Isabelle will reward players with a giant Legendary White Bison, that’s impossible to miss in terms of sights and shooting since its great size makes it an easy target for guns . This beast has a hard time getting away due to the openness of the area, so it’s an easy kill once it’s spot

Arthur Morgan's arc was unlike anything gaming had ever seen. Maybe a few characters had gone through complex changes over the course of several games in a series, but Arthur's starts and finishes in one epic ti
