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
As we mentioned, John was the brunt of quite a few insults. Throughout the game, you are able to antagonize John, and the results are just as funny as they are shockingly ruthless. Arthur teases John with the prospect of an impending wolf attack, calls him a spineless pansy, and makes fun of his inability to swim. We could go on, but we’d be here all day. We don’t know if these insults are in a loving, brotherly way, or genuine, spiteful insults. We’re going with the lat
Perhaps most important of all, Arthur convinced John to run. While John also saw Dutch’s increased immorality and corruption, it was Arthur who finally convinced him to take his family and leave the gang behind. This conversation comes while the two are planting dynamite on Bacchus Bridge, knowing full well that this is the last time the gang works together. As Arthur tells John, “This is over.” Maybe John was always a devoted family man – he just needed a little push to break away from the alluring hold of the g
We’re not saying that the end of Red Dead Redemption wasn’t great on its own, putting the player in control of the main character’s son as they take revenge for the death of their father. However, we want to know what happens after this, how Jack Marston manages to live in a US that no longer wants the likes of this sort of cowboy in the Open world games Quests. We think it would be interesting to see what would become of this character, how he would change as he became an adult and what being alone in a cruel world does to him. Definitely a sequel worth looking i
Most would assume being a bandit since the age of 11 would involve all kinds of daring getaways and escapes. Including running, jumping, maybe even swimming. Yet as it turns out John Marston never learned to swim. Arthur can swim, Dutch can swim, most of the entire camp can swim even Jack appears to be an able swimmer, but it just never happened for John. Did John believe this skill simply wasn’t beneficial or was he never given the chance to learn? There is some explaining that needs to be done h
While many members of the gang were close to Jack, it was Arthur who essentially took him under his wing while John was busy pouting. For example, he takes Jack fishing, talks to him with great affection, and gives him a few life lessons. Jack also leaves Arthur candy after Arthur finds a book. Arthur also scolds John for his neglect, and he shows just as much worry after Jack is taken and given to Angelo Bronte. At times, Arthur was more a father to Jack than J
This has plagued players throughout the entire game as Arthurs brisk walk through camp slowed them down considerably. He walked quickly and with purpose, but why couldn’t he run? It is understandable why he couldn’t have his horse within the campground, but running never hurt anyb
Dan Houser’s writing ability improves with each script, so there’s no reason to believe Grand Theft Auto VI won’t continue this trend. RDR2 really went miles ahead of GTA V with its plot. The western is a serious, somber tale about redemption, while Trevor, Michael, and Franklin’s tale is more come
The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at
Rockstar games hasn’t let people down since it first entered the mainstream with 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III , which ignited a revolution within the industry, shattering sales records and becoming as influential to video game design as it was controversial. Since that seminal release, the studio has continued to top themselves with each new project. The company’s most recent release, Red Dead Redemption 2 , improved upon Grand Theft Auto V in almost every
When Arthur Morgan passes it seems like the memory of him ceases to exist. He saved John Marston’s family, and yet they refuse to talk about him. Arthur’s name was known across towns as he worked with multiple people to help them within the main and side missions, but upon his death, it seems his image was wiped from their memor
