The Rock star game, Red Dead Redemption 2, is a masterclass in video game design: the blending and stunning visuals, a gripping narrative, and a deeply immersive experience to the open- world. What makes the game so remarkable is not just the breathtaking landscapes and the amazing face models the game used to bring these characters to life and make these characters look amazing, but also the sheer attention to detail in every aspect of this game, from the dynamic weather system to the amazing designed ecosystem. Red Dead is centered around the main character Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang moving though the provoking journey of loyalty, morality, and survival. This shows how Rockstar Games creates such an authentic and emotional environment to expand your learning of the history of the wild west.

The dialogue shows the true emotions behind people in their actions; how people can say the sweetest things to people but don’t know the true meaning of their words or the meaning of their actions. The graphics of the game are so beautiful; it captures the true life of the 1800’s and how outlaws lived with either killing to survive, stealing or even running from state to state trying to find a new way of life. It shows the struggle these outlaws go through or how the world around them struggles. In that era there was a lot of racism, but when you’re an outlaw, racism I found this quote from a game website 77147626 “I’m enjoying the game, but I would be lying if I said it was perfect. I’m not a fan of the horse mechanics, my weapons being teleported back to my horse, nor the pelt system. ” It only talks about how they don’t like the mechanics of the game. And that’s repeated a lot or they don’t like how the law is so on you. I got a horse. Her name was buttermilk. It was a mission. I didn’t have horse medicine. SHE DIED. I had to shoot her in the head because her legs were bored. Very sad, very heart breaking. She was my first horse. She was only 15 bucks. A lovely horse, she was a morgan horse.
Exclusion isn’t really a thing. Everyone is family and I find that amazing. There are people of different ethnicities in this game that the gang takes in. Either they’re hispanic, black, white they all have struggles and they are just trying to survive together.Even in the gang, you learn all through the game play how close they truly are with each other, they do have their arguments, but at the end they see them as family, and you learn why they joined the gang because either they ran away from their country or a different state and they got taken in. The game has depth and emotion with hidden meanings. Some characters are unreliable sources and it can show how evil some of these people can be. You can raise a many different horses, go fishing and hunt animals make clothes out of their skin basically your just doing things to survive, you build a bond with the people around you, even your horse you raise (you can kill your horse if you’re not careful enough) you can find new breeds of horses basically the game is a huge map to explore you can go to different states even countries. You can see how the pricing for things were different and very cheap.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has won the game award of the year for the best performance.
An article in The New York Times speaks about the game and how it’s a work of art. The first section of the article was very interesting. It talked about how much profit the money made in less than three days: “After its October release, Red Dead Redemption 2 earned $725 million in just three days, giving it the highest-grossing opening weekend of any entertainment product — ever. If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen this at the box office, it’s because it’s not a movie. It’s a video game.”
