Grand Theft Auto V Shipments Pass 85 Million; Take-Two Expects Record FY 2019 Due To Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game. And when I say it's large I don't think you understand, it's like, really big. The game has dedicated dialogue and animations for every individual character in your caravan. It has expertly intuitive wildlife (except for those rabbits that love running under your horse). And it even makes you manage your cleanliness and wei


Wait, I hear you say, "a viking hatchet?" Yes indeedy! There's a Viking ruin in the game located just across the river from Annesburg, to the northwest. In the middle of this tomb, near an altar, you'll find the viking hatchet. Wielding it not only lets you get your Ragnar Lothbrok on, but also packs a massive punch. It's a throwable that does quite a bit more damage than your standard throwing knife, while also looking very, very cool ind

Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I've ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it's also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone's head or one of their limbs, then uh...things aren't looking at all good for t


Make your enemies say night, night, with Midnight's Pistol. Received as part of the stranger mission "The Noblest Of Men And A Woman," Billy's pistol has a dark past. However, despite its huge number of uses over the years, boy does it still work. The pistol, a variant of the semi-auto, does standard damage, to begin with, but persist with it, and you'll gain affinity. Once you've done this, its damage skyrockets. Its damage becomes one of the highest of the game's pistols, while also having an exceptionally quick reload t

I've lost count of how many times my life has been saved by Dead Eye. The only problem being, if you get into repeated engagements that require Dead Eye, you're going to run out of charge pretty quic


My go-to sidearms in this game are one Schofield Revolver and one Volcanic Pistol. The Schofield Revolver is the perfect counterpart to the pistol for a couple of reasons. It's one of the strongest revolvers in the game, and also has an absolutely superb range for a sidearm. Even without the Volcanic Pistol, a pair of these makes an absolutely fearsome duo of weapons, with 12 bullets from these things doing enough damage to take down large groups of enemies at a t


Yes sirree, whether you want to hunt more effectively, mold Arthur into Revolver Ocelot, get rid of bounties without spending a cent, or improve pelt qualities permanently, you'll find info here! Approximately half of these are things I've picked up myself, but the other half I had absolutely no idea about. Have you discovered anything else cool that I've not listed here? Let us know in the comments! Oh, one more thing before we start the article: if you want another way to enhance your gameplay experience, I've got a sensational recommendation: listen to the Dead Man soundtrack while you play. You can thank me la


If you've been looking forward to unlocking the Repeating Shotgun in hopes that it's something of an AA12, I'm sorry to disappoint. The Repeating Shotgun in Red Dead Redemption 2 is somewhat disappointing, particularly when compared to the pump-action and semi-auto. It does the same amount of damage as the pump-action, but it lacks its accuracy. Despite being a repeater, it also has a slower rate of fire than the semi-auto. Is it worth its $185 price? Absolutely not, sa


Now that Red Dead Redemption 2 rumors Dead Redemption II is out, Rockstar has more or less solidified their latest title as Game of the Year. With only Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to rival the long-awaited sequel to 2010’s hit, we can safely assume the latter will wind up the more revered multiplayer title while the former solidifies itself as one of the greatest single player experiences of our time. No game is perfect, however. For as critically revered as Red Dead Redemption II has become, it has some serious flaws. Granted, we all more or less choose to ignore them on account of the title’s high quality, but let’s shine a light on the masterpiece’s cracks for just a


Realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm's reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a red alert. Regardless, I think they've probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They've made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that's something that's definitely being achie


One thing that actually really winds me up in Red Dead is that when you die, you don't lose your bounty. Come on now. If you're up for a bit of gaminess, there is a solution. Spend or donate all of your cash, go to the local sheriff's office, wherever you have a bounty where you have a bounty. Antagonize him (call him a yellow-belly or something), until he turns hostile. Surrender yourself. You’ll spend time in prison, and your bounty will be gone. You lose all your money if you can’t afford the bounty, but if you’ve got rid of it all, no prob
