The trio runs into a bit of trouble at the train station when Beau’s cousins attempt to stop them, though Arthur is able to save the day. They finally stop at Riggs station, and Penelope and Beau opt to take a stagecoach to Boston It’s presumed the pair get married as they had planned, and finally bring an end to the Braithwaite-Gray feud. Considering most of the Braithwaite and Gray members had already been wiped out by the Van der Linde gang at that point, it seems like the feud was already over... but at least Romeo and Juliet got a (somewhat) happy end

I work multiple jobs, so I rearranged and reprioritized my schedule to make sure that I was able to spend more of the short amount of time that I have with Declan. The shelter-in-place orders brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic made this a bit more difficult to navigate while working from home 24/7, but I am slowly making it work, often knocking out the majority of my major tasks in the wee hours of the early morning and late at night when Declan goes to bed (since he really doesn’t take traditional naps during the d

Red Dead Redemption 2 memorabilia Dead Redemption 2 has a narrative that's entertaining, well-written, and executed exceptionally. It also happens to end in a place that feels frustrating and heartbreaking for the player. Arthur was a man of his word who believed in loyalty, as long as it didn't endanger others. By the end, it's clear the narrative wants to spotlight how delusions of grandeur and greed will often overpower loyalty and history between people. Arthur was a beacon of hope, and Micah was a beacon of cold-hard real

Every gamer knows the feeling of hopping into a Grand Theft Auto game, turning on cheats, and simply destroying the world around them in a hail of fire and chaos. You don't see that type of thing happening in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but it's totally possible with the tools they provide you. What better way to escape into the game than by rolling into town and taking it over as an unstoppable out

After bringing him home, life was back to normal - or rather, the new normal. I pretty much immediately went back to writing about and reviewing video games. But now, I was doing so with more of a financial-driven interest, while at the same time navigating how to be a father and helping out in any way I co

I actually met my father for the first time in high school at a Denny’s. I didn’t really have any desire to do so, but went ahead with it on the advice of my swim coach so I wouldn’t regret missing the chance later in life. It went about as expected. It was awkward, and he asked questions about me that he sure as hell should have already known. The worst part, though, was his failure to apologize to me or take any accountability whatsoever for his complete and utter failure to me as a fat

It was mentioned earlier when discussing Peter Blomquist's performance as Micah, but players having disdain for the character is a good thing. There are plenty of opportunities in media for audiences to dislike a character based on bad writing or acting as the hate relates to qual

If you played Grand Theft Auto V than you're likely familiar with Trevor. He may seem like a psycho, and that's because he's a direct reflection of the typical GTA players who go around causing chaos. In many ways, Micah is the Red Dead Redemption equivalent to this very thing. He represents the worst of the worst when it comes to the player base. When you give those types of people representation and the spotlight, it could, in turn, make them feel as though their actions are not only justified but apprecia

The interesting thing about Micah Bell is that he's a thorn in Arthur's side for most of the game, but he's not presented as the true villain of the narrative until the bitter end. Throughout the game, the Van Der Linde gang is on the run and having to deal with numerous individuals who directly oppose their efforts. All while this is happening, a villain is making moves behind the scenes in order to come out on top. Micah wasn't the last person you expected to be the villain, but rather was a coward who made his intentions true when success was guarant

The game then will task players with killing ten enemies using crafted shotgun ammo. For those who may not know, ammo can be crafted for weapons while at campfires. The easiest way to complete this challenge is to craft split point bullets for the shotgun since they don't cost any resources to craft. Players will then just need to equip the ammo and go shoot the next enemies they f

Things escalate when the Braithwaites realize the Van der Linde gang's true intentions. They kidnap John Marston ’s son Jack in retaliation, leading the gang to confront the Braithwaites at their manor. After a massive gunfight in which the gang appears to kill all of the Braithwaites, they find the matriarch, Catherine, hidden away upstairs. She eventually admits to giving John's son to Angelo Bronte. Before Arthur and his comrades set out to Saint Denis to look for the boy, they set fire to the Braithwaite manor. Catharine then shockingly runs back into the building, ultimately to her de
