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
Except she didn’t rat the gang out at all, she lied simply to get a rise out of Dutch. Whether or not she did so to pull off a “suicide by cop” scenario is left unclear (and for the better, honestly,) but it’s one of the more layered, nuanced spoilers in the g

Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there’s a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w
The bank heist is the moment _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s story irreversible changes. In one fell swoop, John Marston is left to die (for the first time) and Hosea dies. Dutch’s clear foil, Hosea, kept the gang more or less grounded in the face of Dutch’s more bombastic personality. More importantly, Hosea kept Dutch in-l
Once the Saint Denis robbery goes sideways, the gang is literally broken apart and John is taken to Sisika Penitentiary to be imprisoned and hung. And while Dutch shows surprising patience and restraint in getting John out (he most likely didn’t even want him out,) Arthur takes action and rescues him from prison. He and Sadie scout the prison using a hot air balloon and proceed to storm the gates, guns blazing. It is this moment that finally reinforces their bond, and the two ally against Dutch and his increasing tyra
Unfortunately, it actually contradicts rather important information from the first game where John claimed he hadn’t seen Dutch since he left the game. Clearly, this mission takes place long after that fact. Either way, it’s an interesting narrative beat even if it doesn’t make sense. Plus, it directly ties itself into the first game once the credits are thro
None of this is possible though, without a character with the perfect mesh of personality. John Marston is arguably the best protagonist in all of gaming, a believable man, and a natural creator of memorable quotes. His personality is what helped make the game so attractive, and this list will pay homage to his best lines from Red Dead Redemption
Shootout is Red Dead Online’s version of deathmatch, and players can play a free-for-all or team mode of it. It’s a classic take on a game mode that has been around since the dawn of first-person and third-person shooters. Like Gun Rush, it is a fun mode, but the gameplay, or should we say “gunplay,” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is not its strong suit. It’s all fun and games to play as cowboys for a little bit, but without the precision usually required for a competitive shooter, Shootout falls sh
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
The back of every card boasts art from _ Red Dead Redemption _ , while the Rockstar Games emblem is in the upper and lower corners. These are an exact replica of the cards used in the game, perfect for a collector or as a complement to an Arthur Morgan cosp
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
