Red Dead Redemption 2: All Legendary Animals, Ranked by Difficulty

Although there is much to be said about the gaming experience of GTA Online , not every gamer enjoys multiplayer games. Some might gravitate more towards solo experiences, looking to be moved by the story and gameplay on an intimate level without the distraction of other players. Unfortunately, when Rockstar made the decision to solely focus on the online components of their games, they've stopped giving these players new reasons to come back to the game. Obviously, there is a large handful of hours to be spent in Rockstar's single player stories alone, but narrative additions certainly add a good deal of value to a game, and players miss them. It's clear that focusing on an online platform is the most lucrative move for Rockstar in this day and age, but there is a lot to be said about the quality they used to bring to their story DLC, and it would be great to see them go back to it some

Peter Blomquist is the voice actor responsible for bringing the vile and despicable Micah Bell to life. In entertainment actors who can make audiences truly hate their characters who were written to intentionally invoke disgust don't get enough cre

Players will find two children chained to a wall who can be rescued. While Brother Dorkins is grateful enough to let Arthur take money from his donation jar, Arthur can choose to refuse this payment for an Honor boost. It's a simple yet engaging side quest that shows how each and every corner of Red Dead Redemption 2 's map is full to the brim with details, secrets, and unique eve

Micah Bell is never really addressed as such throughout the game, but he's the third in his family to be named Micah Bell. His grandfather is Micah Bell Sr., his father is Micah Bell Jr., and the rat himself is Micah Bell

There are a slew of Stranger missions and side events that players can find themselves locked out of if they slay the wrong NPCs or simply don't show up in an area during the right arc of the story. Oh, Brother is a great example and a hilarious sidequest that players will want to play just for the dialogue alone. It puts Arthur in the middle of a love triangle, with two twins that are constantly at one another's throats for the love of a lady named He

Undead Nightmare cleverly threw you into a timeline separate from the main story, in which you play as John Marston as he tries to find a cure for his family's... zombie curse. It was executed with humor and care, and despite merely being story DLC, it's probably the greatest open-world zombie Game Events that we've seen. Think about that for a second. State of Decay and Dead Rising come to mind as distant seconds, and Days Gone might have been the skeleton of something resembling a great open-world zombie game, but we've yet to see one nearly as refined as Undead Nightmare . Rockstar has legitimately made classic games that are add-ons for other games, and for some reason they've decided to stop doing

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

Story DLC provides Rockstar with the opportunity to build on the world of its stories, giving fans of its distinct narrative style a chance to dive even further into their favorite worlds, and return to their favorite games. Although online multiplayer certainly brings the opportunity to have an absolute blast with other players who love the same game, there is something special about experiencing the world of a story that you love from another point of view. When you're fully invested into a game's story, especially one from Rockstar, you'll be interested in hearing anything and everything that adds context to the narrative or builds upon the lore of that given world. It can often times become intoxicating, and like most intoxicating activities, you really want to experience it again once it goes a

Arthur Morgan's arc was unlike anything gaming had ever seen. Maybe a few characters had gone through complex changes over the course of several games in a series, but Arthur's starts and finishes in one epic ti

Holding one's family hostage to make them do your dirty work is morally corrupt, and deserving of some good old fashion Wild West justice. Coincidentally, the two's first and last meeting were both on a riverside where one party was fish

The Van Der Linde gang often refer to one another as a family and many of the male members call each other brother. In the Old Testament, there's a character named Micah who warns people that threats can come from familial relationships. If a player is well-versed in the Old Testament this would be a clear cut hint that someone in the Van Der Linde gang was going to betray their self-proclaimed family members. It turns out that sometimes the person warning you are warning you about themsel'Oware'
