Red Dead Redemption vs Vanquish
Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption is, as many called it, the defining game of the previous generation of consoles. Set in wild, wild west of 1911, you, playing as former outlaw John Marston, was forced to head back into the cradle of crime when a federal agents threatened your family. His goal? To hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends and to hopefully and finally bury the hatchet of his blood-stained past. There are plenty of cover-based gun-slinging in this game, in addition to some fun mini-games prevalent back in the era, including blackjack and poker. You'll also need to do some odd jobs to make ends meet from time to time, which mostly involve hunting down animals and people alike. The replayability in this game is pretty sufficient as well since the game offers challenges and unique stranger missions aside from the main, story-driven quests.Red Dead Redemption has been hailed as one of the best Western-themed game of all time and we couldn't agree more. If you own a console and love wild west, you might want to check this game out!
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
