When a weapon takes its name from one of the most violent forces of nature, you know it's going to pack a punch. The Volcanic Pistol does not disappoint. It deals, by a long way, the most damage of any pistol in the game, firing off round after round of red-hot death. Its only real downside is a fairly slow fire rate and a very low reload speed. However, if you're using it at close range, especially with Express rounds, this gun can take down even the most fierce f
"We are incredibly excited about the October 26 th launch of Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 , as well as the upcoming releases of NBA 2K19 – which marks the 20 th anniversary of the series and the 30 th anniversary of the Visual Concepts development team – and WWE 2K19 . Fiscal 2019 is poised to be another year of profitable growth for Take-Two, and we expect to deliver record operating results. Looking ahead, we have a strong development pipeline across our labels and are exceedingly well positioned for long-term growth and margin expansi
This next map is a bit difficult to find, since it happens on a chance encounter. Most notably found lurking at the top of a large rock to the northeast of Riggs Station, an older treasure hunter will hold the first map in the hunt; however, he is not willing to give up the map or sell it, so you’ll have to either rob him, tie him up, knock him down and make him drop the map so you can get it, or just end him permanently. Kind of dark, but there's no other way to get this map in the g
This year is the 25 th anniversary of Take-Two and, over that time, we have built our Company into a diversified and profitable enterprise. Take-Two is exceedingly well-positioned – creatively, strategically and financially – for continued growth and returns for our shareholders over the long-te
Remember when Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in the same week last year? Despite Horizon being a phenomenal game-- some would say the best of last year -- Breath of the Wild still ended up dominating the conversation in the casual and broader gaming scene. I imagine that Red Dead Redemption 2 will end up being one of those conversation-dominating titles as well, which means it's likely better for Activision to just stay out of its way after release.
Released Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Online Edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Released Kerbal Space Program: Making History Expansion for PC. This first expansion for the critically acclaimed space simulation adds a wealth of new and exciting content to the game, including a robust Mission Builder that lets players create and share their own scenarios, and a History Pack containing missions inspired by historical moments in space explorat
By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they'll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter Eggs Dead . It's essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.
I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2's release didn't have as big of an effect as I'm pretending it would, it's obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that's why they've pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.
Located on the Eastern side of Braithwaite Manor, you’ll come across a large collection of houses located on the edge of the water. Head south into the shrubs at this point and you’ll start to hear the voice of a young g
Everyone is accounted for. Everyone save for Karen. The most Karen gets near the finale is a mention in Arthur’s notebook that she turned to drink. Meeting Mary-Beth in Saint Denis reiterates this idea and that’s as far as it goes. Does it make sense? Perhaps, but everyone else got their little epilogue. It seems strange Karen didn’t appear even in the form of a gr
The game is well known by now, but for those who don’t know the story, the game follows the event before the original game. Set near the time where cowboys and the gangs they ran with were set to fall, the game follows Arthur Morgan, a member of the Dutch Van der Linde gang, as he sets out to make a name for himself and explore the vast regions of the Old West; however, among the fictitious states of the game and new (and returning) characters, the game is filled to the brim with some truly incredible nugg
