Shootout is Red Dead Online’s version of deathmatch, and players can play a free-for-all or team mode of it. It’s a classic take on a game mode that has been around since the dawn of first-person and third-person shooters. Like Gun Rush, it is a fun mode, but the gameplay, or should we say “gunplay,” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is not its strong suit. It’s all fun and games to play as cowboys for a little bit, but without the precision usually required for a competitive shooter, Shootout falls sh
When you finish the emotional story with Arthur and you look back on his life, you are left wondering what he actually achieved. He helped people and yet he couldn’t stop the turmoil of his life from winning in the
GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam
It’s as if Red Dead Redemption 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive met in the middle and tried creating a child. It fails at times thanks to awkward controls, but it promises a great time regardl
The original Gears of War trilogy introduced gamers to one of the more unexpected villains in recent times. Queen Myrah, leader of the Locust Horde, is actually a human. Throughout the first Gears , the phrase “For the Queen” was thrown around by locust troops time and time again without any idea as to who the queen was. Once her identity was revealed, it was surprising to see that she is actually human. A traitor to her own people, Queen Myrrah is responsible for the deaths of millions and for organizing Emergence Day, the day Sera changed fore
Resident Evil has long been home to many great villains. The likes of Albert Wesker and Jack Baker just to name a few, but Resident Evil 4 ’s king of the Las Plagas was special. Lord Osmund Saddler deceives his way into a cult following and forms a plan of Open World Games Online Guide domination. To start this plan Saddler enlists the help of Jack Krauser, who is tasked with absconding with the President of the United States’ daughter. To make matters worse, once she is taken, Saddler infects her with the Las Plagas virus and plans to betray Krauser. This leads to an eventual winner-take-all collision course with Leon S. Kenn
As part of Red Dead Online’s Showdown Series, Spoils of War functions like a drawn-out capture-the-flag type mode. Each team of players has a loot stash that they must protect. At the same time, they have to travel to the opposing team’s stash and take what spoils they can. Like with any capture-the-flag game, Spoils of War is engaging because of how much an individual player can do to help their team. Those who remain behind to guard the stash can still contribute. If you constantly pepper opponents with bullets out in the middle of the map, you are helping your team. You can’t go wr
Micah has Sadie Adler at gunpoint, Dutch has John at gunpoint. Up in the snowy mountains of The Grizzlies, it appears the revenge plot has gone terribly awry. John and Dutch go back and forth over who shot at who first, who betrayed who first, and who the selfish one
Mary was fairly predictable and they had discussed where they were to run off to, so it can be assumed he could have found her if he wanted to. Instead, he decided to forego the love of his life and stay with the gang inst
The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase “Would you Kindly”. One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
He quickly realizes his mistake and tries to cover it by saying Jim Milton right after saying John, but the damage is done. Mr. Gedes assistant Mr. Dickens realizes it immediately and gives a look at John of curiosity. Mr. Dickens also mocks him directly after saying “You hear that John Jim”. This was a heart-dropping moment for players rooting for John Marston to keep things under cont
