Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Facts About The Heartless Bookkeeper, Leopold Strauss
Once he gets sick, he goes even further into correcting past mistakes and trying to make good with anyone he feels he hasn’t treated properly. Even though he’s supposed to be a degenerate black hat-wearing villain, we’re pretty sure we could leave our wallet around him, and not have to worry about losing any change. He’s someone we would love to go drinking with, because not only would be a ball to hang out with, he also somehow has the ability to turn a bar fight into a dancing chorus line . That’s the kind of dude we want to ride with.
We’re not laughing at his fright—anyone would scream if they fell from a similar distance—but it’s more the abrupt cutoff between when he lands and his nonchalance towards just taking such a big drop. It may not be super realistic, but it is better than breaking a bone or cutting a leg open and having to crawl to the nearest doctor, and we all know what doctors used to do with injured limbs back in those d
Despite being in a world where sticks with rocks attached at the end are the height of scientific ingenuity, Aloy takes it upon to learn more about her surroundings and how to help the various terrified villages around her. Personally, if people were as mean to us as they were to her, we’d probably say screw them when the robo-raptors attacked them. But Aloy is inquisitive and compassionate, and even if people are generally awful, she’ll still go out of her way to save them. As an added bonus, she also probably has a lot of cool stories to tell about the various dino-machines she’s managed to ride.
Shepard might just be the friendliest space captain out of every major science-fiction franchise. On top of helping out her immediate friends, she gains the trust of a telepathic alien hive mind, gets the Geth and the Quarians to set aside their differences and agree to a truce, and even manages to earn the respect and admiration of a race of war-torn lizard people like the Krogans. She’s so cool that everyone even sets aside a random day to just hang out at the Citadel and party with her before they have to fight off the evil sentient spaceships that want to kill everyone. If she’s the kind of person that makes you want to postpone the apocalypse to drink some shots with her, then it’s probably safe to say she’s a pretty likable badass. Unless you’re a reporter, that is.
Strauss was born in 1946 in Austria. His old age brought him wisdom and experience when it came to manipulating people into loans taking them for all they had. He may have been cruel at times, but Strauss understood what a life without money was like, and he never wanted to experience that ag
Red Dead Redemption 2 raised the bar for storytelling in big budget, AAA titles. Arthur Morgan’s journey is unlike anything gaming has ever attempted before. The narrative is beautifully somber and emotionally impactful. The game early Access play usually complements this vibe, with the shooting feeling heavy and the long horse rides giving players time to mull over the character’s situation. Other times however, the gameplay results in unintentional hilarity. It is an open world game after all, and player freedom always leads to comedy gold. Here are ten ways this masterpiece is unintentionally hilarious, both in gameplay and in the st
As one of the strongest and most consistent publishers in today’s market, the company has always been infinitely better and often masterful at something completely different: telling a story. Proving it time and time again, the writers at Rockstar frequently deliver a narrative that can stand next to each year’s best movies, and serve as an example as to why video games are just as capable at delivering an iconic story as any other medium. While both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 have delivered on that front in recent years, Rockstar has all but completely abandoned something that they did better than anyone else: story
As we’ll get into later Leopold Strauss didn’t have the greatest life growing up in Europe. His family struggled to make ends meet and often resorted to extreme measures just to make sure they were fed and sec
What sets Charles Smith apart is how principled of a character he is. Life isn’t the easiest for Charles since he’s both African-American and Native-American. Despite these hardships, he tends to always stick to his morals. That being said, he also isn’t afraid to get messy when the situation calls for
Red Dead Redemption wasn’t the only Rockstar game to receive excellent additions in story DLC. From LA Noire to Max Payne 3 , Rockstar kept a habit of giving players quality story content on top of their original titles for years. The pinnacle of Rockstar’s story DLC though, has to be from Grand Theft Auto IV. Like Red Dead 2 and GTA V , GTA IV has a story as good as any film, but Rockstar built upon that story in unique and imaginative ways through The Lost And Damned and The Ballad Of Gay Tony . While one installment has you playing as a biker struggling with the collapse of his gang, and the other a bodyguard for a celebrity night club owner, both run in parallel with GTA IV , adding depth to the story and life to Liberty City. GTA IV’ s story DLC fleshed out its world, creating an experience with more depth and character to it. The content was so good that it makes you wonder what Rockstar might have been able to come up with if they would had taken story DLC for GTA V seriously. Unfortunately, it seems like that window has come and gone, and the potential has fa
