I've decided to make my website based on one of my all time favorite games, Red Dead Redemption. Published by Rockstar Games, the setting is based in the western era, and you play as a bounty hunter by the name of John Marston. Once, a criminal, he's changed his ways after being taken away from his family by the Bureau of Investigation. In order to be reunited with his family, he must kill the remaining members of his gang. After attempting bringing justice upon them, he is shot down by one of his old friends in that gang, and later on saved by a bunch of townspeople. Bonnie Mcfarlane, is a lady that lives in Mcfarlane's Ranch, where John is later taken to aide his shotgun wound.
After the intro, it's up to you wether or not you want to do good deeds, or dirty deeds. The game is very interactive, you can do quests, side quests, and the little small things, such as saving people along the way. you are in control of your character's fate! Personally, I love this game, mainly because of the fact that I can control my character. Many Rockstar Games are quite violent, and don't allow much control over your character's alias, such as Grand Theft Auto. In my opinion, Red Dead Redemption is one of the greatest games Rockstar Games could've invented. I just love the western theme, and how they included it into a video game; it's badass!
Overall, if I had to rate RDR against GTAV Online based on my interest and experiences, I'd say RDR wins by a far mile.
My #1 favorite factor of the game is the game soundtrack. Since the game is based in the western era, the music is, western music. Not only there's the typical background instrumental music in video games that are composed for it, but there is actual songs where a man sings. One of my favorites is a song called So Far Away, by Jose Gonzalez. It is a beautifully composed song, and plays in the game when you first reach Mexico. Click here for the Mexico scene. As you're watching, just imagine how it is to be playing that game, and seeing yourself in his shoes. I really love this game, because it gives me the feeling of what the past was like, and sometimes I wish that I could've lived such an adventrous life such as John Marston. I would love to be able to live freely, and travel on a horse like him as you save others, and enjoy the view as you go.
The graphics are nothing compared to nowaday games, but I play this game more than I play newer gen games, such as Grand Theft Auto V, for example. Yes, Grand Theft Auto V is
If you ever enjoyed watching westerns, or still do, I suggest you buy this game and try it out. It's a really amazing game, and the main character is my favorite video game character of all time, because he goes through hell and back, and in the end, he dies as a worthy man. Imperfect characters are characters you can relate to. They are more realisitic in the sense, as nobody is perfect, and everyone struggles through something, no matter how big or small, no matter how serious or ridiculous. No world is an utopia, either, (especially ours) and I don't see the fun in playing a game where everything turns out just fine. Boring. John Marston is a hard working man. He's gone through hell, and is still kicking. He had a family, and made a mistake and had them taken away from him. Instead of just giving up then, he woke up, and began to fix through the biggest mistake he could've ever caused. In the end, all of his hard work has proven to the law enforcement that he's changed, and finally John Marston gets to retire, and relax at home with his family, and raise his son that he hasn't seen in so long. Not all stories have a happy ending. Unfortunately, this one does not have a happy ending. The law enforcement used him for dirty work, and in the end, when they had no more use of him, they berid of him. That was the worst part of Red Dead Redemption. I never finished the story because I didn't want him to die.
The multiplayer option in RDR is pretty basic. You have a ranking system, and as you rank up, you unlock mounts, characters and various weapons. I'm all about custom characters, and unfortunately you cannot customize your character,
I like free roam games, because I enjoy travelling around the world that is in that game. It gives you freedom, and I especially enjoy that with other people, like my friends in particular. I used to play this game all the time with my friends. We'd go around and mess with gangs, and mess around with the wild boars. I think it's funny when the boars hit me down, and my friend always tried to shoot the boar, but I didn't want it killed, I thought, and still think, they are adorable, despite the fact that they always kill my character. Their squeals sound cute, but yet deadly. Also, one of my favorite things to do to screw around in RDR multiplayer is to piss off the bulls. I think they sound funny when they get pissed, I usually turn up the volume to 40 on my TV when pissing them off!! My little brother, that's 10, gets a kick out of that! I would never hurt an animal in real life, but it just is way too funny to hear them get mad in the game!
