Hosea loved reading and had an appreciation and love for crime novels above all e&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The video game sequel Watch Dogs 2 was released in 2014&lt;/del&gt;. Instead of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;following up with Aiden Pearce in Chicago&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;it follows a hacker named Marcus in San Francisco as &lt;/del&gt;he &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;joins &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;notorious group of hackers called Dedsec&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The group&#039;s goal is exposing the corruption of the company Blume and making the public aware of the danger of the program ctOS &lt;/del&gt;that &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;covertly harms the people of San Franci&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;I don&#039;t think those are the main issues&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;but I feel like their presence in tandem with the poor reception of Red Dead Online has a lot to do with the game&#039;s relative silence. I &lt;/del&gt;was &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;among &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;few &lt;/del&gt;who &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;were excited beyond belief to relive my own childhood: &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;allure of being a bandit once again with my pals online was too much &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;bear&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;But, upon arrival, I immediately felt Red Dead Online was lacking in a multitude of facets&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;With all these varying intentions converging, Red Dead Redemption 2 became an out-of&lt;/del&gt;-&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;place mixture that couldn&#039;t tell the difference between complicated and simplicity. Intending on making the [https://www.gamehubfans.com/ Game Sales] feel as real as possible&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Rockstar also made it far too and time-consuming and complex to do anyth&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The Legendary Elk &lt;/del&gt;is &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;one of the easiest Legendary Animals &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 due to its distinct white coat.

I probably didn&#039;t stop playing for a full 12 hours. Though I may have easily fallen in love with a game I had long been anticipating, I can see how others may have grown frustrated with the game&#039;s design, tone, and realism. These three concepts all clash in some way throughout the playthrough and, despite record sales, proves why the game has dramatically left the public &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Throughout &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Arthur Morgan will have &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;change outfits depending &lt;/del&gt;on the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;temperature &lt;/del&gt;of the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;environment he&#039;s traversing&lt;/del&gt;.

Perhaps it was her idea of getting back at Dutch in &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;drunken r&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Upon its release, come late October 2018, literally at the stroke of midnight (I had pre-downloaded it weeks in advance), I was instantly pulled into a gritty, serious, and breathtaking open world. I probably didn&#039;t stop playing for a full 12 hours. Though I may have easily fallen in love with a game I had long been anticipating, I can see how others may have grown frustrated with the game&#039;s design, tone, and realism. These three concepts all clash in some way throughout the playthrough and, despite record sales, proves why the game has dramatically left the public &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Many people feel that Hosea bares a striking resemblance to accomplished actor and Western icon Clint Eastwood. It seems that the likeness stops there as Hosea is a lot more charismatic and understanding than any of Eastwood&#039;s characters w&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Ever since playing the original Red Dead Redemption , one of my favorite characters across all forms of media has been Dutch Van der Linde. Struggling with demons from &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;past&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;fighting &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;live as an outlaw &lt;/ins&gt;on the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;run, believing in himself as much as his followers, Dutch is a complex and complicated individual trying to survive in a world that has drastically changed around him. Much &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;what he represents and struggles with across both stories ironically reflects exactly what is wrong with &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;sequel game. Having waited almost ten years for a new, more beautiful Rockstar iteration, I could not wait to dive into Red Dead Redemption&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle&lt;/ins&gt;. If &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of &lt;/ins&gt;this &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;happening then &lt;/ins&gt;it &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;must be fairly common among criminals and outl&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Arthur Morgan&#039;s arc was unlike anything gaming had ever seen. Maybe a few characters had gone through complex changes over the course of several games &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;a series, but &lt;/ins&gt;Arthur&#039;s &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;starts &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;finishes in one epic ti&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;And sure, the fluid combat system is near-perfect and some of the most rewarding in modern gaming. Plus, there are fantastic &lt;/ins&gt;character &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;designs&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Actually, now that we think about it, the Mr. Freeze boss battle— where he actually learns your patterns and adapts to your play style — was just &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;cherry on top &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the c&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Triad levels up when he commits violent acts, Face levels up during civilian side missions&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and Police levels up when he minimizes the damage done &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;properties, civilians and during police side que&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Van Der Linde Gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 is comprised of numerous walks of life with people &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;all different backgrounds, criminal records, &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;past traumas&lt;/ins&gt;. Dutch &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;may be the group&#039;s leader, but many feel Hosea Matthews &lt;/ins&gt;is &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the man who held it all toget&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Speaking &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;putting money in, how about when Arthur puts so much &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and gets no appreciation? You could have recently put a couple thousand  [https://Www.Gamehubfans.com/ Www.Gamehubfans.Com] into &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;camp.

If she&#039;s the kind &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;person that makes you want to postpone the apocalypse to drink &lt;/ins&gt;some &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;shots with her&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;then it&#039;s probably safe to say she&lt;/ins&gt;&#039;s a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;pretty likable badass. Unless you&#039;re a reporter, that is.&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Especially in the build-up to its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 was poised to be &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game with no bounds&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;From the images and trailers I viewed consistently, &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hype was as glorious as Grand Theft Auto V &#039;s, maybe even bigger. Games like Nier and The Last of Us attained similar spells &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;immense hype&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;yet that same energy is still there&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;With The Last &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Us 2 slated for release sometime later this year, &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hype is ever-present and swirling&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;thanks &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Troy Baker . Now, nearly &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;year into its &lt;/ins&gt;life &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;cycle, Red Dead Redemption 2 is faced with questions about quality&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;What could have been done better? Why has &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hype all but dissipated? And what&#039;s with all &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;horse man&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Upon its release, come late October 2018, literally at the stroke &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;midnight (I had pre-downloaded it weeks in advance), I &lt;/ins&gt;was &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;instantly pulled into a gritty, serious, and breathtaking open world. I probably didn&#039;t stop playing for a full 12 hours. Though I may have easily fallen &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;love with a game I had long been anticipating, I can see how others may have grown frustrated with &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game&#039;s design, tone, and realism&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;These three concepts all clash in some way throughout &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;playthrough &lt;/ins&gt;and&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;, despite record sales, proves why the game has dramatically left &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;public&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Intending on making the game feel as real as possible&lt;/del&gt;, Rockstar &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;also made it far too and time-consuming and complex to do anyth&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Speaking of putting money in, how about when &lt;/del&gt;Arthur &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;puts so much in &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;gets no appreciation? You could have recently put a couple thousand into the camp.

You would think a game ripe with fantastic graphics&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;awesome gameplay&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;spellbinding narrative would be enough for players &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;be immersed&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;yet &lt;/ins&gt;it &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;appears this very immersion is what has elicited so much―or, should I say, so little—backl&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The Music of Read Dead Redemption 2 so easily and masterfully plunges you right back into the emotional intensity of the game&lt;/ins&gt;&#039;s &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;storyline&lt;/ins&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Although GTA Online has been wildly successful, the same can&amp;#039;t be said for its uglier, younger stepbrother, Red Dead Online . Although the online platform has moved on from a few of its growing pains, it clearly can&amp;#039;t measure up to the undeniable success of its counterpart. Most of this is certainly due to the time period in which the Red Dead Redemption series __ takes place. The fact of the matter is, rocket launchers, airplanes, and sports cars provide for much more entertainment than Civil-War-era guns, horses, and fishing. With the wide range of vehicles and weapons at its disposal, it&amp;#039;s no wonder why Rockstar&amp;#039;s online layout works far better in the world of Grand Theft Auto . Despite that, Rockstar is giving it all of their effort to make Red Dead Online work. Effort that could quite possibly be put to better use if it were to be refocused on a DLC project that touched on the back stories of characters like Charles Smith, and Sean MacGuire, or better yet, Undead Nightmare 2 , a would-be sequel to the original Red Dead Redemption&amp;#039;s near perfect zombie-based story &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In celebration of that, we&amp;#039;re going to take a look at the last decade of gaming highlighting the bests from each 365-day cycle. Still, to ensure complete impartiality, we&amp;#039;re going to use the highest-rated games on Metacritic to determine what the best was. So, here are The Best Video Games From Each Of The Past 10 Years, Ran&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Sure, it was the first game following Melee that required players to purchase an add-on to actually play with your GameCube controller, but the multiple play modes strong online mode make it a must-p&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Despite releasing a year and change after the launch of the PlayStation 4 and  [https://gamehubfans.com/ https://gamehubfans.com] Xbox One, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain really kicked off this generation. With an intricate story, only Kojima could think up and a bigger open world for players to explore, the final game in the series made by the man who made it famous did not disappo&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Foreshadowing in storytelling can come in many different forms and is often only obvious with a second viewing or experience. During the game, both Hosea and Lenny can be heard stating that when they&amp;#039;re buried they wish to be placed near frie&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Nintendo&amp;#039;s king-of-the-hill crossover fighter is always a good time, and the Wii U&amp;#039;s offering is something that really made Nintendo&amp;#039;s console worth having. In reality, it doesn&amp;#039;t really break the mold in any revolutionary way, but its massive roster is a love-letter to gaming, making it something spec&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Uncharted 4: A Thief&amp;#039;s End was the perfect sendoff for Nathan Drake — character fans latched onto a whole generation prior. The story follows a retired Drake who is thrust back into the treasure hunting life when his brother — whom he thought was dead — returned to his life. Throughout this, we discover Drake&amp;#039;s past, even playing through critical moments of his life as he and his brother race against their long lost friend to find Captain Henry&amp;#039;s forgotten pirate treas&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Following up the record-shattering Grand Theft Auto V was no easy task, but Red Dead Redemption 2 surpassed it with relative ease. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar&amp;#039;s parent company, stated that within the first eight days of its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold 17 million copies . That may not sound like a lot, but it&amp;#039;s much more than what Red Dead Redemption sold in the 8 years of its existence. Intriguingly, not a mere five months after the game&amp;#039;s debut, Take-Two Interactive&amp;#039;s share prices dropped 20% with investors worried about the game&amp;#039;s level of engagement. This highlights the reality plaguing Red Dead Redemption 2 : downplaying satisfaction. Intelligent investors knew that Red Dead Online was never going to be on par with its cash-grabbing cousin, GTA Onli&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Story DLC provides Rockstar with the opportunity to build on the world of its stories, giving fans of its distinct narrative style a chance to dive even further into their favorite worlds, and return to their favorite games. Although online multiplayer certainly brings the opportunity to have an absolute blast with other players who love the same game, there is something special about experiencing the world of a story that you love from another point of view. When you&amp;#039;re fully invested into a game&amp;#039;s story, especially one from Rockstar, you&amp;#039;ll be interested in hearing anything and everything that adds context to the narrative or builds upon the lore of that given world. It can often times become intoxicating, and like most intoxicating activities, you really want to experience it again once it goes a&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Even if you have never played either Red Dead Redemption game, it&amp;#039;s clear that horses play a major role, and to ensure that the movements were as realistic as possible, the creators went above and beyond. The team actually motion-captured a stunt horse, which isn&amp;#039;t the easiest thing to do as they managed to record as many possible movements, although this brought with it plenty of probl&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
