The Music Of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Score Review

Of Men and Angels is a quick little interaction, and that’s probably what makes it so easy for players to miss out on. The stranger mission becomes available sometime during Chapter 6 and is located within the streets of Saint De

Every encounter with this character is a treat, and fans who didn't engage in all the missions possible with this colorful personality are missing out on something. Moments like these are what make Saint Denis one of the most memorable locations in any Rockstar g

The Night Folk of the Bayou is a sinister group that players can encounter while exploring this area of the game. This may not sound like an appealing prospect (especially with the wealth of crocodiles players can encounter here), but this is made worthwhile by a Stranger mission that is unlocked once players encounter these folk for the first t

The faster we approach its one-year anniversary, the less we even hear about the game. False reports of a story DLC made fans excited, though still very little attention was drawn to the game. It's ironic to see more news and excitement surrounding DLC content for GTA Online than any of Red Dead 's updates, which tend to get mocked and ignored. What happened? You would think a game ripe with fantastic graphics, awesome gameplay, and a spellbinding narrative would be enough for players to be immersed, yet it appears this very immersion is what has elicited so much―or, should I say, so little—backl

Sadie Adler tends to do the same type of justifying to Arthur Morgan and John Marston as they see her ultra-violent tendencies. The difference is that behind those character flaws Sadie has the right intentions and wants to make bad people pay for their acti

Following up the record-shattering Grand Theft Auto V was no easy task, but Red Dead Redemption 2 surpassed it with relative ease. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, stated that within the first eight days of its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold 17 million copies . That may not sound like a lot, but it's much more than what Red Dead Redemption sold in the 8 years of its existence. Intriguingly, not a mere five months after the game's debut, Take-Two Interactive's share prices dropped 20% with investors worried about the SLG game guide's level of engagement. This highlights the reality plaguing Red Dead Redemption 2 : downplaying satisfaction. Intelligent investors knew that Red Dead Online was never going to be on par with its cash-grabbing cousin, GTA Onli

Most characters in Red Dead Redemption 2 have a side that they don't immediately show to the player. Such is the case with Jeremiah Compson, a man who seems like an honest American whose house is currently being occupied by a bunch of squatt

Saint Denis is a city full of colorful personalities that players can get to know throughout their adventures. One such character is Charles Chatenay, an eccentric artist who gets himself into trouble all the time. And he ropes the player into his shenanigans

There are several other moments where the epic western score on this Woody Jackson album remarkably represent the complex nature of Red Dead Redemption 2 's story. Blood Feuds, Ancient And Modern , serves to mirror the age-old conflict between the Gray and Braithewaite families. The song begins with a slow sense of anxiety, as steady drums and a hypnotizing female vocal performance set the tone of the uneasy peace between the two families who have hated one another for as long as anyone can remember. It creates the feeling of a calmness constantly sitting on the edge of chaos. The drums begin to build, and the guitar licks become heavier to mirror the manner in which the Van der Linde gang stirs up the conflict between the two families, making uneasy alliances with both. After an absolutely epic rise and climax, the song falls back into a violin-led epilogue of tragedy, representing the fact that this conflict, fueled by greed, only resulted in de

She quickly joins their company and becomes a prominent and important member of the gang. Sadie also happens to have one of the best character arcs in the game from a narrative perspective. Let's look at 10 facts about Sadie Adler, the dangerous widow outlaw from Red Dead Redemptio

Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol

The sequel shows a somewhat different character. In the crossroads of an existential dilemma, Dutch must choose between changing his entire identity to save his band of followers or fall victim to his own fallacies and authoritative attitude. Dutch is one of the most conflicted characters in the entire series, struggling with his devotion to living free while still chasing a life of everlasting peace for his gang. He truly believes in himself, as much as his followers do, which drives him into the very state of insanity we find him in during the origi
