Now, as fun as robbing trains or pulling a few cons may be to help pad your old timey wallet, sometimes you just want to take the less overtly criminal route. One thing Rockstar has played with throughout the Grand Theft Auto series has been allowing players to buy various properties, from legitimate locations like dance clubs and film studios to shadier things like drug smuggling compounds. The Red Dead series could undoubtedly benefit from such a feature being introduced. Whether it's owning your own brothel and choosing which lady to manage the day-to-day or managing your own ranch, complete with crops and cattle herding, nabbing up properties to help make a name for yourself and pay for all the bullets you're spending across the game's world would serve to help emphasize the concept of the old west as one of endless opportunity. It's yours for the taking so long as you're willing to put forth the effort and its yours to defend from gangs, wild animals or even drunken deviants taking things a little too far with one of your ladies of pleasure. In the end, one thing is for certain: Red Dead 3 will be a big game and a massive attempt on Rockstar's part to not only build upon everything people love about the series but continue pushing the series down a path of change to help it feel like more than just a retread. What do you need to see included in the next Red Dead? Let us know below what other features you'd love to see return, fixed or added to the series!
