15 Weird Plot Holes in Red Dead Redemption 2 (And 10 Things That Just …

RDR2 being a prequel to RDR has allowed for Rockstar to make a tremendous amount of call forwards, deliberately ensuring that playing RDR after its sequel will have more of an impact. One of these bits of foreshadowing happens when John is missing in a snowstorm at the beginning of the game, and Arthur and Javier are sent out to look for

However, one day when Arthur returned to his son’s home he found two crosses on the outside. He later learned that Eliza and their then-10-year old son had been killed by robbers over $10. The heartbreak of this tragedy may explain why Arthur can come across as hard and cold at first si

As for Red Dead Redemption II , it has been reading Arthur and John’s journal. Every time I boot up this four-state-sized map filled with details, missions, and content out the wazoo, the very first thing I do is hold left on the D-Pad and read.

It's also extremely difficult. As someone who had never played video games would say, it's the Dark Souls of puzzle games. I should probably change the difficulty, to be honest. Either way, I'm having a blast with this game; I wouldn't even call it a game - but an auditory and visual experience. Go play it.

It was finding all of the Riddler trophies in Batman: Arkham Knight . For Breath of the Wild , it was completing all the shrines before facing Ganon. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , my favorite part of the game were its fascinating side quests, especially the boxing matches in each region: that all culminated in fighting Skellige’s champion, a straight up bear. All of these goals bubble up and become the most memorable parts of these grandiose games to me.

After Beecher’s Hope is finished and John attends to some unfinished business, players can sometimes find Uncle taking a break in the exact same spot on the porch where he perishes in the first game. To add to the heartbreak, he even sits in the same posit

But it turns out that the choices you make for Arthur affect his eventual fate – in other words, giving him a high or low honor score matters. This is different from the first RDR in which this feature didn’t seem to matter too much. Whether you played honorably or not, it didn’t affect the outcome of the g

What makes the journal even more beautiful is the fact that it records your moments in-game and weaves them into the life of Arthur. I may not be able to make Arthur loyal to Dutch in the end or have him be pals with Micah, but I can decide what side activities he partakes in or the animals he hunts. It gives what I do in-game life. The journal becomes my version of Arthur’s final days, giving my playtime a personal, lively touch that I’ve never experienced in a game before: Arthur’s story and mine intertwine.

While we don’t know how long he was there for, we can assume it was pretty long because the next thing we know Mary has moved on. When Arthur finally gets back, he receives a letter from his ex saying she couldn’t wait for him anymor

In his youth, Arthur met a waitress named Eliza. After a brief fling, she became pregnant with their son Isaac. Eliza was aware of Arthur’s criminal past but still accepted his support. Arthur would actually come and stay with his family every few months for several days at a t

In-game journals or logs in other games often have the appearance of life, thanks to talented teams, but none feel like living, breathing books like Arthur’s does. Drake’s notes in the Uncharted series are filled with doodles and charm that is signature to Drake’s personality, but its in-game purpose is usually to solve simple puzzles more than to flesh out the characters. During my brief time with Mass Effect , the Codex was easily my favorite bit since it filled out the history of the galaxy, but it lacked a personal anchor point.

The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.

As on any big game with an interconnected plot and multiple side missions, things can get pretty complicated. And just because I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game to come out this year (take that God of War ), does not mean I can't recognize its flaws. Read on if you want to Learn Alot more Here about the many plot holes and unanswered questions that RDR2 left hang

Aside from becoming the most popular video game on the planet, Fortnite actually helped me expand on my career this year. I started off the year at various other outlets before eventually branching out into writing about Fortnite . __ Writing about this game actually allowed me to open up my experiences in games writing, and I actually ended up here at DualShockers because of it. I'm happy at the journey this game allowed me to take, and the memories I'll have because of it. As much as it can suck sometimes waking up early in the morning to write about patch notes, it gives me the motivation to keep going and not just lay in bed all day. Thank you, Fortnite . You can suck it if you blindly hate this game. That's my two cents.
