10 Gaming Franchises That Exploded In Popularity This Decade

With a more average computer, Red Dead Redemption 2 still looks pretty good, albeit not a noticeable improvement over the console version. The one issue that I encountered was that sometimes parts of the landscape in wide shot cutscenes would not render in right away, but never in a way that was noticeably distracting from the st


Dying Light is an exceptional Open World Gear guide|https://Openworldpedia.com/-world survival title and first-person adventure game. Players engage in parkour to complete objectives as they stave off an attack of zombies. A sequel to Dying Light has been available since 2


So, once you get the game running, what is it like to play on PC? Well, the controls translate exceedingly well to the mouse and keyboard control scheme. Horse riding is a bit clunky, but no more than it was in other versions of RDR2 , in any other game with a horse in it, or, let’s face it, in regards to riding real-life hor


Henry uses a walkie-talkie to speak to his supervisor, Delilah, and his daily routine includes investigating fireworks, searching for lost rock climbers, fishing, and other activities. Like other FP games, there's a storyline to follow until Henry can successfully evacu


The two substantial new additions to the game do deserve some attention. The first is a comprehensive photo mode that isn’t limited to the 1800s camera that Arthur Morgan finds in-game. The photo mode allows for third-person shots, as well as plenty of photo effects and era-appropriate filters. It is perfect for getting shots with your posse of outlaws, dynamic action scenes, or really anything other than the landscape shots you could capture with the in-game cam


In much the same way as the controversial Death Stranding forces players to laboriously walk from one far off location to another, Red Dead Redemption 2 wants the player to fully embody Arthur Morgan throughout their experience in the game's world. On a first playthough, this can take some time to get used to, as Arthur isn't exactly the most forthcoming about his needs, wants, life, thoughts, or desires. It's a relationship which builds over time, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 players know Arthur nearly just as well as they know themselves. As uncomfortable as it may be to slowly, methodically re-learn all of the mechanics on a second playthrough, the amount of emotional presence and immediate understanding which comes from knowing Arthur's full story from the start makes the early chapters of the game all the more poignant upon repeat viewings, and highlights the fantastically-written characters Rockstar has always been known for in an even greater fash


Beyond the Labyrinth is played from a first-person POV, but it also combines RPG and dungeon-crawler elements into the game. The graphics are also stellar, so there's something in this game for every


The game handled combat very well with the mouse and keyboard scheme, especially guns. The aim-and-shoot mechanics adapt easily to the right and left mouse buttons, and everything about combat feels natural, even on horseback. Everything is very smooth and responsive, and missing a shot feels like a missed shot; not that a shoddy control system ruined it for


Next on the list is Destiny , which is another incredibly important video game series from this decade, which took on a life of its own in popularity. The franchise burst onto the scene first in 2014 and has had several expansions and a sequel since t


At the start of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Sadie has just lost her husband and is trapped in her house with his killers for a few days, likely leaving her in an emotionally vulnerable state. Unfortunately for her, one of her rescuers is Micah Bell, who immediately starts chasing her around the room, terrifying the poor women as she desperately tries to throw things at him and defend hers


Mrs. Grimshaw is one of the most useful members of the gang as she regularly organizes the group, particularly when they're setting up a new camp. Yet, that doesn't stop Micah from shooting and killing


If there's anything gamers love more than gaming, it's probably memes. Video games are the perfect source for memes because of their less-than-realistic graphics, funny AI, and what some like to call "game logic." Though most games tend to follow real-world rules, sometimes that can look a little ridiculous. Some games, like the two in the Red Dead Redemption series, have so many characters and such an involved storyline it's hard not to create memes out of them. If you follow the series at all or know anything about good ole John Marston, you're bound to laugh at these ten me


Exploring a house to uncover clues about what happened makes the plot thicken as you progress. A twist at the end of Gone Home keeps you on the edge of your seat. As a first-person adventure game, Gone Home is phenome


Dutch Van Der Linde, leader of Arthur's gang and family, is perhaps the most interesting catalyst Rockstar has ever created. Equal parts Charles Manson and Jesse James, Dutch leads his family of outlaws from one bad situation into another, always scrambling to avoid rival gangs and the government while also being unable to pull himself away from the deep-seated hatred he holds for people who he feels have wronged him. The player, as Arthur, has been with Dutch ever since he was a young man, having joined up with the gang in his early teens, and thinks of Dutch not only as a leader and brother-in-arms, but also as the closest thing he's ever had to a father figure. Much like Manson, over time Dutch has surrounded himself with younger men and women, placing himself in the position of authority over them, telling his "family" time and time again he is the only one who can keep them safe, as long as they trust him complet
