While being introduced to Mr. Gedes after defending his home at Pronghorn Ranch, John is caught in a lie. He has already introduced himself as Jim Milton to Mr. Dickens, Mr. Gedes’s farmhand, and has been going by that name. Yet during John’s first encounter face to face with the owner of Pronghorn Ranch, he forgets his alias and introduces himself as John…Jim Milto
Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game’s protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game. What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his n
Accompanied by Javier Escuella, Arthur finds John close to death and sporting a few new scars. A series of wolf attacks are the cause and finally, the origin of John’s scars are revealed. As Arthur begins to help John out of his snowy predicament, John says this quote in a manner of classic Marston sarc
First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l
Even in the face of adversity and two guns drawn on him, John still declares his loyalty to Arthur stating “Arthur saved my life, more than once”. Realizing how dire the situation looks, John stares at Dutch and pleads this quote. He follows up by saying killing him won’t help anything which actually appears to leave Dutch speechless. John follows up demanding and screaming that Dutch say something, anything, and as Dutch stares back he proceeds to shoot Micah in the abdomen, leaving him for John to finish. The redemption arc has finally come full cir
Both Laura Bailey and Nadia Black return to their roles from the mainline Uncharted Open world games map guide and deliver performances that make this spinoff feel like much more than that. This game manages to exclude the series’ main protagonist and deliver an authentic Uncharted experie
While no member of the Van Der Linde gang is completely innocent, Mary-Beth seems to be the closest. She is someone for Arthur Morgan to talk to and often suggests that it is never too late to change. Mary-Beth can be seen again during the epilogue at a train station in Valentine where she reveals to John she has become a writer. She is one of the only gang members to reform and change themsel
The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase “Would you Kindly”. One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
Dutch starts Red Dead Redemption 2 in an honorable light, even after the Blackwater Massacre. His long-time gang members try and defend his actions, but soon enough his true character comes to light. It is quickly revealed that Dutch killed a Blackwater woman in terrible fashion. This deed is followed up with his brutal drowning of Angelo Bronte, and merciless choking of a woman in Guarma. Dutch might have once been an honorable man, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , the player will realize just the kind of man he
The most important aspect of Molly’s “betrayal” is that it gets the heat off of the actual rat, Micah Bell. Throughout the game, Micah is built up as the clear antagonist. He is Arthur’s foil, actively going against the gang’s best wishes but managing to win Dutch’s respect, affection, and admiration. Without Molly giving herself up, Micah is the obvious culp
