In the game’s actual final mission, John Marston hunts down both Micah Bell and Dutch van der Linde. At the end of the mission, he’s confronted with Micah but is saved by none other than Dutch. Dutch’s motives aren’t ever explained and he leaves John without a proper resolution. All the same, it’s a shocking, surprising note to cap the gameplay w
John started off a hesitant family man, to say the least. Ditching the gang, leaving Abigail and young Jack behind, it raises the question why. As Dutch reveals in one of his last encounters with John during the first Red Dead Redemption , the whole gang has been with Abigail, and it’s not like DNA testing was around to clarify. Was John a hesitant family man because he wasn’t sure he was Jack’s true father? John was young and impressionable, this could be the reasoning behind why he left, and why he treats Jack like less than a son during the first half of Red Dead Redemption 2 , but the player will never know for s
While we don’t particularly like the character of Williamson, we do think that the past that he constantly references sounds interesting. Perhaps the Rockstar bunch could do a game that sees us take up arms and become part of the infantry, making a push against the Native Americans that are attempting to protect their own land. Maybe we wouldn’t actually play as Bill Williamson, but more as a character that regularly does dealings with him. We want to see whether or not he actually did do a lot within the army or whether it’s all t
In a lot of ways, Uncle is a rather mysterious character. We know for a fact that the guy is very lazy, as well as annoying, but he must be good to have around if he’s allowed to follow the gang around. Is there a chance that he once was a great man, an outlaw that has turned old and quiet? Does he really have lumbago?! We know that we left Red Dead Redemption 2 wondering why Rockstar have decided that this is the character they want to follow throughout the entire franchise, but if they wanted to make a prequel about who this guy is and where he came from, we wouldn’t say no to giving it a
Similar to Jack Marston taking over his father’s role in the first game, John Marston becomes _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s playable character and protagonist once Arthur Morgan dies. With two fairly lengthy chapters to play through, John makes for an excellent bookend to a great g
Telltale’s The Walking Dead introduced the world to Clementine, a young innocent girl just trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. The game focuses on Lee, an older man with a troubled past, acting as a protector of Clementine as they try and find other survivors and a way through the madn
Leaving one’s entire life behind can be quite a crazy experience. When John left the gang and his old life behind for a year before coming back, what exactly did he do? Managing to eat and survive takes a multitude of skills, he was either robbing on his own or maybe John learned a trade to make some legal money. Maybe it was easier going it alone, and he just missed his family. What took place during this time, and the reason he came back still isn’t clearly sta
During the final chapter of the game, you meet a Native Chief named Rains Fall, who you can help try to broker peace between his tribe and the U.S. Army. While riding with him along the mountains, Rains Fall finds out that you’re dying from tuberculous and offers you medicine he concocts from nearby herbs and plants. But that’s the last you hear about
Grand Theft Auto V’s Los Santos is huge, but the player can’t do a whole lot in it besides sparking chaos. RDR2 adds a ton of depth to the Open World Games Secrets itself, letting players inside most houses, and allowing Arthur Morgan to rummage through cabinets. It’s understandable to not have access to every building within GTA’s urban sprawls, but they should have as many as possi
If you explore the swamps of the bayou, you can run into all kinds of crazy supernatural things, including ghosts, phantom trains , and the Night Folk. The Night Folk are a group of pale, murderous psychopaths that you can randomly encounter while out on a moonlit swamp str
On the other hand, if transportation is fun enough, people will want to drive everywhere instead of fast travel. GTA V already did this so well with its smooth as butter driving and ability to take a cab. People have little reason to worry about this, since the Red Dead games strive to simulate the wild west, and GTA tends to be looser with real
Sure, John and Dutch exchange a few words before he ultimately pulls the trigger, but it seems unlikely that their simple exchange was enough to change his mind. Adding to the plot twist, the last words Dutch speaks before shooting Micah just sound so world-weary. Did seeing John again make him realize the error of his ways? Did he just want to cut off his last connection the old gang and move on? It’s never made clear, and that is more than likely by des
