Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel?

If you played Red Dead Redemption then this must sound like good news. I mean not only can you go back to the world of Red Dead Redemption but also play once again as John Marston. In case you didn't know (massive spoiler!) John dies in the first game and you play as his son Jack from that moment on, I know not everyone was happy with that but now you can play as John again and go even further back in time. Maybe even before he got married and when he was still a criminal. But are we really looking forward to a prequel? I mean we know what will happen and that might ruin the game a bit, but at the same time I have faith that Rockstar can make something good out of this game!


Why a prequel and not a sequel?


As I mentioned earlier, not everyone was so happy with the death of John and having to play as Jack. Ok it happens at the end of the game but I can imagine that there are people that just didn't want to finish the game because they prefer to play as John. With the Undead Nightmare dlc you got a chance to play as John again, first when he was still alive and then as a zombie. Unfortunately Zombie John can't speak and just makes noise when he normally would speak. So I think a lot of people will be happy to play as John again. It wouldn't surprise me that some people at Rockstar want to kick themselves for killing John in the first game, because then you could've just make a sequel. But I guess this will work as well, at least if the prequel is going to be fun to play.


Are people really excited about Red Dead Redemption 2?


Does that surprise you? I think Red Dead Redemption is one of the most popular Rockstar games and I'm curious what the sequel...eh prequel will bring. In the first game you already get to know a bit about the past of John, in fact it play a pretty big role in the first game. So I wonder if this takes you to that time where you were a criminal and part of a gang, which also means that you'll meet your old friends again. You know the friends you had to hunt down in the first game. But it could be that this is an entirely different story, maybe something different from another part of John's life. Either way I'm interested and I doubt I'm the only one! Hopefully we hear more about this game because I really want to learn more!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
