Whether it be his facial features or small stature, Strauss looks like the oldest member of the Van Der Linde gang. It turns out that he was two years younger than Dutch's right-hand man, Hosea Matth  
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'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'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's debut, Take-Two Interactive's share prices dropped 20% with investors worried about the game'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  
Especially in the build-up to its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 was poised to be a game with no bounds. From the images and trailers I viewed consistently, the hype was as glorious as Grand Theft Auto V 's, maybe even bigger. Games like Nier and The Last of Us attained similar spells of immense hype, yet that same energy is still there. With The Last of Us 2 slated for release sometime later this year, the hype is ever-present and swirling, thanks to Troy Baker . Now, nearly a year into its life cycle, Red Dead Redemption 2 is faced with questions about quality. What could have been done better? Why has the hype all but dissipated? And what's with all the horse man  
Westerns have been a staple of entertainment for decades and when a genre like that is explored for that many years it begins to birth tropes that permeate through multiple films. One of these tropes is the story marking the good guys with white cowboy hats and the outlaws with black ones. In Red Dead Redemption 2 , Micah Bell who's a primary antagonist sport a white hat throughout, and Arthur Morgan who's the main character and protagonist of the story wears a black one. This is meant to play with player's preconceived notions of Westerns and foreshadows the events of the game opposit  
Strauss' biography says that he was born under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which didn't start until he was around 21 years old. He was born under the more accurately described Hungarian Empire since he was born in the year 1846. It's unclear whether this is a character or story writer's mist  
During the epilogue of the game, the player takes control of John Marston and gets a first-hand glance at the events that led up until the start of the first Red Dead Redemption . The game does a great job at catching the player up with former members of the Van Der Linde gang as they uncover what events have unfol  
With Micah Bell, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who did earn a set of authentic and completely earned nicknames. Arthur Morgan came up with them and can be heard calling the Van Der Linde gang plague Micah Bell a rat, sickness, and snake. All of which are so perfectly fitt  
Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to fight its own nature. Perhaps, more accurately, I'm constantly fighting my own nature as a gamer while playing it. Small mishaps always pulled me out of the game, like bumping into pedestrians in Saint Denis would automatically get me wanted, which obviously turned into bloody shootouts every time. The serious nature of the game and its story belied no actual seriousness when presenting topics of immense depth. Rockstar's attempt at making one of the most realistic games falls flat due to awkward button placement, cumbersome menus, annoyingly constant random events, and a slowly-paced st  
During the introduction mission of the game, players control Arthur Morgan as he and his gang go about a recon mission in the area around their winter base. They come across their rival gang in the O'Driscoll boys outside of a random house and it quickly turns into a shoot

Though his name is Leopold Strauss, he can sometimes go by a nickname of sorts. Strauss' nickname is Herr Strauss, and Herr is essentially German for the word Sir. Calling someone sir followed by their last name isn't a nickname as it is a respectful and formal way to address an elder m  
One of the coolest parts about the level of detail that Rockstar Games put into the game is that characters will react in certain ways depending on the way you treat them. The more verbally sarcastic or standoffish you are the likelier you are to get similar responses from the very same people you're communicating with that
