John Marston: An Honorable Man in a Wild World

The player must clear the hideouts and free Jimmy. During the last encounter, Jimmy says he plans to give up being a writer. Interestingly, when playing Jack, Jimmy mentions he plans to become a war reporter in World War I instead. It's these small changes that make playing the game as Jack so rewarding, even though a lot of people might not like his character all that much. Thankfully, Rockstar made some much-needed changes to make the protagonist switch more palatable in Red Dead Redemption

It focuses on the story of former gangster Carl 'CJ' Johnson, undoubtedly the most well-known GTA character of all, as he returns home after his mother's death. As the game progress, Carl learns that his own friends have been stabbing him in his back, and he seeks revenge while bringing back the glory of the Grove Street Famil

baldur-s-gate-3-best-thrown-weapons-ranked.jpgI remember thinking that this surely couldn't be the end of John. Not after all he'd done. I was convinced that there was a way to survive the final shoutout with the government. At the very least, I hoped that I could take Ross down with me. It seemed the only just option, the only thing that seemed fair. But Red Dead Redemption isn't interested in being f

One of the biggest strengths of Red Dead Redemption 2's story is that there isn't really a sense of urgency to see Arthur's story to its end. Story missions typically revolve around a major heist or event that Dutch Van Der Linde's gang needs to prepare for, and Arthur is given the freedom to just enjoy the countryside in the meantime. As a benefit, engaging in the game's many side quests doesn't feel out of character, allowing players to really enjoy what the world has to of

Unlike previous GTA games, GTA V lets players control three protagonists: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, as they're trying to make one big final score while being pressured by the authorities before retiring from the crime scene. Hopefully, GTA VI will eventually release and surpass its predecessor, especially since it should have access to the robust PS5 and Xbox Series X syst

Set in 1998, Liberty City Stories is actually the prequel to Grand Theft Auto III . It still surrounds the theme of Italian-American mafia and follows the story of Toni Cipriani, a former mobster, as he makes his return to the City's crime sc

It’s not really an open-world game if it doesn’t have a whole lot to do in said open-world aside from the main storyline. Games falling under this category have become commonplace, with titles like The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed , Grand rdr2 Bloodhound Theft Auto, and others pushing their popularity furt

In fact, it is one of the most honorable things we can do, to strive to be better than the darkest parts of our nature. In many ways, John's life is better summed up by the final epitaph written on his grave. Blessed are the Peacekeepers, for they will be called sons of

Born and raised in Sandhurst, a small town in the United Kingdom, Jack Swift was an aspiring rugby player back in his youth. Things changed when he learned that he could make a lot of money from robbing banks, which he did in London before finally moving to America, the "land of opportuni

When his job is done, and he hunts down the last of his former partners in crime, it seems that John is finally given a chance at redemption he has longed for. His reunion with his family isn't as storybook as he might have ho

The Warriors , which was adapted from the movie with the same title, skips forward to the gloomy world of New York gangs in the 1970s. During an open truce between all the gangs, The Warriors are accused of a murder they never committed, so they have to return to their turf one night. Behind them is an endless crowd of cops and deadly gang rivals, giving them no choice but to

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released in 2002 for PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox systems. The game's missing puzzle, Vice City Stories , was published four years later, and it features several returning characters from Vice Ci

Located near Cattail Pond, New Hanover, just between the pond and the Dakota River, this legendary ram is not fearful like the buck and should only take a few shots to down if the player has upgraded their weapons. If not, this could be a race on horseback to hunt down this big horned fella.

While New Vegas ’s number of side missions might pale in comparison to later entries in the series, the levels here have more quality behind them. Thanks to the sandbox-style gameplay, the player can truly see the post-apocalyptic world in these side que

John takes no pleasure in what he has to do, but he does it because he is a man of honor, and a man of honor can be manipulated in this world of chaos. If the roles were reversed and any of John's former allies were in his place, the only thing that might motivate them is gr

The Strange Man is an enigma, and everything in this side quest foreshadows the ending of the game. In the third meeting with him, the Strange Man will mysteriously remark how this location makes for a "fine spot." It turns out to be the final resting place for John, Uncle, and Abigail later down the line. The three bullets that John shoots at him before the gun jams could be a way to show how all three characters die, but Jack is spa
