Rockstar Games has you covered though. If you pop on into a hotel, there is an option to give your character a nice and luxurious bath with actual hot water. Making sure my character bathes is something I never thought I would do in a video g
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
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 : 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
Hitching your horse is important! While pressing Y to hook your horse to a post may seem banal, it bonds you to your horse, and also allows their cores to regenerate! The only problem is that the game doesn’t tell you that you can also hitch your horse to things that aren’t exclusively hitching posts. If you’re near a tree in the middle of nowhere, simply ride over towards it, and press Y/Triangle to hitch up Neddy to the t
Ultimately, this is a problem of modern game design. Before the seventh generation, games needed to be playtested extensively due to how problematic it was to fix a glitch. Buggy game? You need to ship out a whole new batch of games. Now you can overlook potential bugs thanks to patches resulting in an entire plotline being done out of or
God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer Dead Redemption 2 will be competing in the Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, Best Audio Design, Best Action/Adventure, and the Game of the Year awa
Okay, so you’ve bonded with your horse. What exactly does that get you? Well, it turns out there are quite a few different benefits to having a horse in your corner. There are some gradual bonuses; the more you’ve bonded with your horse, the further your horse will be willing to gallop on its own when it hears you whistle. It’s certainly not going to run across the map when you call, but the range definitely does improve. And, the more you bond with your horse, the less likely it is to get stolen. Apparently those talks about “Stranger Danger” paid off. Your horse will also be willing to wade into deeper waters with you, and generally be fine with going into sketchier terr
This next weapon may appear to be worn out and used, but don’t let it fool you. This powerful melee weapon has a flat edge along one side of the blade that made it perfect for hewing, which makes it a powerful weapon in the hands of an expert fighter. Used to convert logs into lumber, this weapon can be found in a tree stump near Moonstone Pond in the Grizzlies, right next to what appears to be an abandoned shack. What makes this weapon so great also is that it’s a throwable melee weapon, perfect for surprise or silent takedo
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
An old Bowie knife with a solid blade, worn out wooden handle and a large D-shaped handguard for protection, this was most commonly used by Civil War soldiers. Now coated in rust, the weapon can be found in a storage room underneath the ruins of Fort Brennand in Roanoke Ridge, New Hanover. This little piece of history may just come in handle in bat
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
You can find a horse out in the wild and tame them, or you can buy a new horse at a stable. Either way, be sure to study your new horse and learn what you can about them. And remember that, whatever horse you choose, they’re embarking on this new journey with you. They’re putting their trust in you. You’re becoming their new best fri
This weapon is unique as it involves completing the Gunslinger side quests. These side quests take you away from the main plot of the game, but boy do they provide some of the best weapons in the game. One of the quests involves hunting down a shootist named Billy Midnight. If you end him, you’ll grab his powerful Mauser pistol, with gold engravings and great accuracy and fire rate. While the damage is average, the weapon is powerful to have early on in the g
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
