John Marston was born in 1873 from a Scottish immigrant and a prostitute mother, who died during his birth. John was only 8 when he witnessed his father die after a bar fight and subsequently spent some years in an orphanage before running a
Players can find the man who gives this mission on top of a mesa near Agave Viejo in Mexico. The inventor, Charles Kinnear, has made a flying machine and needs supplies for it. He tasks John with finding these supplies. John will have to find certain kinds of flowers, bird feathers, and beaver pelts to help the inven
Three years later, he committed his first murder and faced a hanging punishment when he was 12. Dutch stepped in to save the young boy and introduced him to the gang, consisted only of Dutch, Arthur, Ms. Grimshaw, and Ho
Before going any further, we need to address the ludonarrative dissonance in the room. Ludonarrative dissonance is when the story told by the narrative doesn't fit the story reinforced by the gameplay. It was first applied to Nathan Drake of Uncharted fame to discuss the oxymoronic nature of a charming rogue who has killed thousands of peo
It's evident the town is on a decline and in the 8 short years between the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the beginning of Red Dead Redemption it all but disappears. Do yourself a favor and explore what it was like before it completely collap
Colm O'Driscoll is the leader of this rival gang and was the man who once had a partnership with Dutch. He ends up meeting his end right in front of Sadie as he is hung in the streets of Saint Denis, which was a fitting end for such a terrible hu
I 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
John, and again we the player, must now make life in the world we so desperately fought for. Instead of firing a Gatling gun to take out a gang stronghold or lending a helping hand to a fledgling rebellion, John is striving to be the man he said he wanted to be. He's teaching his son to hunt, herding cattle, and making deliveries. In terms of gameplay, it's boring, but in service of the narrative, it is exquisitely d
Even minor missions like collecting Animus fragments are extremely fun, as it employs the open-world feature. Black Flag manages to make the present-day sequences engaging as well, as uncovering Templar plans by playing mini-Riot Games physical card game adds in a level of quality that most games don’t bother with in their side missi
And so John is gunned down, and perhaps the most tragic outcome of all is that his son follows him down the path of the outlaw. In some ways, John's life can be seen as a waste. But to strive against what we know to be wrong, even if the outcome seems inevitable, is never a wa
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a beloved game that managed to take the idea of a Red Dead Redemption sequel-prequel and nailing it in almost every aspect. The game works on a narrative level because you immediately become attached to Arthur Morgan, and at the same time, it plays hosts to a bevy of villains and evil men and wo
This mission starts at Casa Madrugada, where John finds a man beating up a woman. John intervenes, discovering this woman is a prostitute named Eva and the man is her pimp, Mario. John will pay the man $200 to free the woman, helping her escape the abuse. Unfortunately, the story doesn't end here. The woman will leave for Las Hermanas, and after a few days, John can go to check in on
Committing a crime is not an outside area for young Arthur Morgan. He was born in 1863 in a family of an outlaw, and he lost his mother during the labor. His father, Lyle, was once arrested for theft in 1874 but died at some point later. Although the two had a turbulent father-and-son relationship, Arthur still kept a picture of him next to his resting bed and wore his
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a tragic story of how far someone can lead a group of lost souls into their inevitable fate. After a robbery-gone-wrong in Blackwater, charismatic leader Dutch van der Linde promised his gang to lay low, only to find themselves trapped in the criminal world again and ag
Born in 1877, Abigail Roberts turned into a prostitute before joining the gang. Back in days, she grew up as an orphan, or according to Rockstar's official description, 'Scraping out a living in dive bars and brothels in the West.' Maybe that's why she felt connected to John, the most above all the rest of the memb
Before meeting Dutch, Sadie Adler lived a quite happy and peaceful life with his husband, Jack Adler. They lived together at the Adler Ranch in Ambarino. On Red Dead Online events, players can obtain missions from Sadie during the daytime and Jack at ni
