Like Cézanne's brushstrokes, each small detail of your performance should contribute to a larger image. It's not about what you say when you call out; it's about how you say it. Is your voice hoarse? Are you making it too hoarse? Don't make it Newport 100s hoarse, make it sore throat hoarse. What about a cough? Be warned--lots of first-timers overdo the cough. Don't pepper your sentences with coughs, rather, add one during any point of silence for dramatic effect. A little cough can go a long way. Make your performance as nuanced and discrete as possible.

Playing in first-person means experiencing the world as it is happening because it's happening with only what can be seen wherever one may be looking. It’s easy to imagine the multiple scenarios that might be brought to life even more just from playing RDR2 in first-person. Horseback shootouts can have more feeling. Bar brawls will feel that true punch. Being chased down by whatever local law enforcement comprised of sheriff and deputy could feel palpably tense. While Rockstar has yet to show how first-person will function, hopefully they’ve taken some lessons out of their own book with GTAV. First-person has come a ways in games with titles such as Dishonored, Prey, reddeadstation.com Call of Duty and the like. While first-person might not be the main focus, Rockstar has an opportunity to appease players that will want to see through the eyes of Arthur Morgan.

Red Dead Redemption II looks to be telling a true Western Americana tale, although that could be completely wrong knowing Rockstar. The trailer is only filled with Rockstar’s famous one-liners mixed with bouts of violence. While that is the very surface level, Rockstar has most-likely crafted a tail as dynamic as the landscapes in RDRII. Again, bringing it back to The Witcher 3. One of the reasons exploring the Northern Kingdoms in the Witcher is fun is because of its diversity encountered throughout the landmass and that’s just one map. More environment means a more fleshed out world; it gives reason to exploration these game worlds are rich in secrets and who knows what secretes RDRII is hiding. RDRII looks to not only be telling its own tale, but the many tales (sidequests) that can be found throughout.

I would just note, you don't need to look back too many years when Holiday seasons were just inundated. People basically released products in the Holiday season and this company performed well. So it all comes down to quali

"we're always worried about the competition and never take anything for granted, never claim success early. We do our best to create phenomenal entertainment and market it effectively, and then we explain what happened. We have enormously high expectations for October with the launch of Red Dead Redemption2. We take the competition seriously and we're really exited about the rele

Fret not, gamers, allow me to offer you counsel. For years I have studied the dark arts of calling out of work, calling in sick, and faking family emergencies. While I retired this skillset upon leaving college, I carry this knowledge around with me like a disgraced soldier carries a blade; similar to the way a retired Mafia boss carries around the guilt of the havoc he has wreaked. Allow me to step out of retirement for a moment to impart this wisdom onto you, a new generation of gamers looking to shrug responsibilities for one day and indulge in a take-out fueled gaming binge. Beware--with this knowledge comes a tangible darkness, a sense of power that you must keep in check. Without further ado, here are the official DualShockers tips for calling out of work to play Red Dead Redemption 2 .

You may be eager to play Red Dead Redemption 2. I know you're eager for the saloons, poker games, and fishing trips that lie ahead. However, you need to practice. We're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice . Stare into the mirror above your bathroom sink and start writing your script. Think about the last time you stayed home from work and how recent ago it was. Is your new fictional ailment too similar to your old real ailment? Change it up a little. Variety is the spice of life. Get your story straight and stick to it.

My view is that by their very nature hits are unexpected. That's the goal. There is an expectation around the table. Of course, there is an expectation of Rockstar Games and there is an expectation on part of consumers, but our job is to exceed those expectations, and fingers crossed, that's what we're all setting out to do. We couldn't predict and we didn't presume to in regards to Grand Theft Auto V, and we wouldn't presume to with Red Read Redemption 2. So we're just hard at work, doing the very best job that we c

It may be clear from Red Dead Redemption 2 's title, but some may play Arthur Morgan's story first because it is a prequel. While the newer title does lead up to the events of Red Dead Redemption , it is ultimately better to play the 2010 game first. Prequels are generally made knowing fans have already experienced the prior entries, and certain moments are easier to appreciate with knowledge of the future in m
