On the outset, Portal 2 comes across like a pretty lighthearted game. Sure, there are mysteries concerning the plot, but there isn't a lot to suggest it is harboring unsettling secrets. Well..spoiler alert..it is. In one of the game's early test chambers, you can find a room covered in weird graffiti, and if you listen close enough, you can hear odd and disturbing chant

There's more to detail than inside environments too. If weather had an effect on the city, or parts of it were destructible, it would go along way towards making it feel alive. A Shenmue level of realism isn't expected, but it should strive for something more than what it has done in the p

Is there anyone out there that has played Red Dead Redemption 2 but would choose to argue against the concept that Adler deserves her own game, that she is one of the greatest characters that Rockstar has ever created and therefore should get to star in a game of her own. We get to see her grow into something brilliant throughout the game, so it would be great to then see what becomes of her once the prequel game is over, especially as we don't see anything of her during the first game in the series. What is it that this woman ends up doi

There's something romantic about playing as the cowboys, the outlaws, the runaways that just want to live their life free of any sorts of rules, but if we're being honest that's just not what most people are like in the real world. It would be interesting to play as a Pinkerton agent, somebody attempting to track down the outlaws that continue to make the West w

Strauss rarely shows emotion, which is why he was a suitable match for an operator of the Van der Linde gang. He was the person responsible for the gang's loan sharking venture. Leopold Strauss shows great loyalty to the Van der Linde g

The last train job, the final heist of them all. In the heat of the robbery, John is shot, and Arthur witnesses him fall backward off the train. The player at this point has no idea what is happening to John or how he makes it back. They know he has to be alive for the events of original Red Dead Redemption to take place, but how does he make it back? Possibly a very cool Downloadable Content update for Red Dead Redemption 2 would be this mission, and it would answer a lot of questions regarding John’s survi

In the ten years that takes place between the prequel and the sequel, we want to see what sort of life the charismatic gang leader was living. Giving us a game where we get to finally play as this man would be interesting, perhaps forcing us to try and survive on our own before creating our own gang, working against a country that no longer wants us th

While we don't particularly like the character of Williamson, we do think that the past that he constantly references sounds interesting. Perhaps the Rockstar bunch could do a game that sees us take up arms and become part of the infantry, making a push against the Native Americans that are attempting to protect their own land. Maybe we wouldn't actually play as Bill Williamson, but more as a character that regularly does dealings with him. We want to see whether or not he actually did do a lot within the army or whether it's all t

There is no running; the past catches up with everyone eventually. Red Dead Redemption's John Marston had put his gang life behind him, gone legit, and turned into a family man. Yet his past came knocking on the door. John ultimately died an untimely death at the hands of a double-crossing lawman due to his old crimes and affiliati

Leaving one’s entire life behind can be quite a crazy experience. When John left the gang and his old life behind for a year before coming back, what exactly did he do? Managing to eat and survive takes a multitude of skills, he was either robbing on his own or maybe John learned a trade to make some legal money. Maybe it was easier going it alone, and he just missed his family. What took place during this time, and the reason he came back still isn’t clearly sta

Javier is a very loyal man, and that is what got him to the better half of this list. That same loyalty, though, is his downfall. Dutch found Javier stealing chickens and saved him. Javier never forgot this, leading to absolute blind loyalty for Dutch. If any gang member second guesses Dutch’s orders, Javier takes offense. Upon news of Micah’s betrayal, Javier draws his gun on both Arthur and John. In the end, he chose to go down a dishonorable path with dishonorable

RDR2 has been out for less than a year, but Rockstar surely must be cooking up their next big game. If we were gamblers, we'd say that next game is Grand Theft Auto VI . Like every development cycle, it is hard to say how they will top their recent masterpiece, but it won't stop any daydreaming about what the title might end up being. The ten entries in this list will look at five things from RDR2 the studio should include in GTA VI , and five things that are better left staying in the old west. For the latter, these mechanics aren't necessarily bad, but they don't belong in the Open world games guide world mayhem for which the GTA series is kn
