TheGamer(Dad): Navigating Fatherhood & Gaming

Arthur's journal is the narration of Red Dead Redemption 2's story , and it's also some of the best proof of his second-in-command status as Dutch's right-hand man. Arthur (and the player) deposits money periodically into a lockbox which acts as a camp fund, but in his journal readers can see that he's also keeping track of where all of the donated funds are going. Arthur's journal is organized, well-written, well-illustrated, and showcases some of his innermost thoughts which would never be expressed on the surf


There was always a little voice in the back of my mind that kept saying, "You’re just like your father," when I felt like I was failing. Thankfully, I never let that noise prevent me from doing what I needed to do, because Declan deserved - and continues to deserve - my very best as his fat


GTA Online has been a force in terms of revenue for the developer and publisher, but will Arthur Morgan's Western tale influence the next GTA title? Let's now look at five ways Red Dead Redemption 2 will influence GTA VI and five ways it definitely wo


Red Dead Redemption 2 was a game that had a slower pace to it. This was obviously a reflection of the setting, as Western tales are known for being drawn out and taking their time. GTA VI likely won't follow suit as the modern open-world franchise delivers action at a breakneck speed and paces its narrative in a way that feels similar to a Hollywood f


However, this isn’t the only evidence suggesting the Red Dead Redemption franchise will be ported for next-gen consoles. On June 11 th , during Sony’s Future of Gaming reveal event, Rockstar Games announced a remastered version of Grand Theft Auto 5 would be released for PS5 in 2021. The company also confirmed GTA Online will subsequently get an upgrade. This enhanced version of GTA Online will be free for PS5 users to access for the first three months, and PlayStation Plus members on a PS4 can also receive GTA $1,000,000 every month until GTA Online debuts on the PS5. This announcement signifies Rockstar’s commitment to remaining on top of next-gen console trends and thereby provides credence to the theory that the company may make a similar announcement about the RDR franch


There is another factor in earning perfect pelts though. Players will need to ensure that they use the correct weapon and that the kill is clean in order for it to be considered perfect. This means that players should try their best to aim for the lungs or heart when trying to kill anim


John Marston can't draw. He can barely write, and when he does it's nowhere near as eloquent or detailed as the descriptions Arthur Morgan would have provided. However, these simply aren't things John's ever tried to do before. The only reason John starts writing his own journal to begin with is because he saw Arthur doing so, day after day, and now that Arthur's gone doing the same helps him retain a small form of connect


Going into Red Dead Redemption 2 fans understood that this was Arthur Morgan's story, but John Marston would play a key role in the events. When Arthur's journey ends most people were caught off guard at the reveal of the game's Epilogue that had players controlling John up until the events of the first game. Players can use the Epilogue to travel around and discover what the character's from the games main narrative has been up to. GTA VI including an Epilogue is unlikely but would be a welcome surprise to m


Red Dead Redemption 2's vast open world, based on the Southwestern United States in the year 1899, allows players the ability to perform actions like hunting, fishing, stealing, murdering, and brewing coffee over a campfire while their hair slowly grows over time, just to name a few. Throughout the plot and subsequent epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur Morgan and John Marston each carry a journal which they are occasionally shown writing in, and many players have likely noticed that both protagonists also create little drawings depicting the plants and animals they come in contact w


This isn't explained very well in-game, so players may run into issues trying to acquire perfect pelts from the animals they bring down. Perfect pelts will earn the player drastically More Signup bonuses money when sold, and so it almost isn't worth hunting any animal that isn't perfect. The only way to ensure that an animal's pelt is perfect is to use a set of binoculars to observe animals from a distance. This will show a series of stars that rate the quality of animals. Only three-star animals provide perfect pe


I grew up without my father in my life, and besides my Grandpa (whom I looked up to a great deal while growing up,) I never really had a father figure until high school. This isn’t any sort of plea for sympathy or excuse - my Mom did one hell of an amazing job raising and providing for me on her own while teaching me what it means to be a man. It’s merely stated as context for me not _ really _ knowing what it would take to be a
