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

It wasn’t long before we found out how John got his signature scars. After fleeing north following the Blackwater heist, John and Micah go out to scout for supplies and shelter. However, John gets lost like a doofus and is attacked by wolves. The wolves take out John’s horse, scratch his face, and leave him to perish. Luckily, Abigail’s Spidey sense starts tingling, and she sends Arthur and Javier to rescue him. Of course, Arthur and Abigail weren’t too happy about the whole ord

Made from high-quality brass, this telescopic cup bears the _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ brand on the bottom of the glass, Open world games Missions fully visible when it collapses to roughly the size of a pocket-wa

Make It Count differs from Gun Rush in that players are limited regarding what weapons they have at their disposal. Instead of the rifles and pistols that make up the bread and butter of Red Dead Redemption 2, Make It Count forces players to use either bows and arrows or throwing knives. This might sound restrictive, but it makes the game mode better. No longer can battle royale players rely on the sound of gunshots to alert them to someone else’s presence. The experience becomes ten times more tense as a res

One of the most charismatic faces in gaming, Handsome Jack of Borderlands 2 is as hilarious as he is maniacal. Vault Hunters beware, Jack really is the Deadpool of video game characters. He is just as likely to crack an untimely joke as he is to kill you in twisted fashion. Constantly claiming to be the good guy and on the right side of things, Jack has understandable motives that are completely lost in translation with his murderous deeds. A very colorful vocabulary and an ego the size of Pandora make Handsome Jack one of the most memorable antagonists in hist

Most Wanted is a different take on Shootout that spices up the experience. Instead of players just running around shooting each other, an extra dynamic has been added. Every kill earns points, and the more kills a player has under their belt, the more points they will give to the player who kills them. In essence, the better a player is at the game, the more likely it is that they will become the “most wanted” player on the map. It evens the playing field because the most skilled players end up being ganged up on by everyone e

GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam

Skull kids are introduced in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which was made before the year 2000. It wasn’t until Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask that the player encounters the most unique skull kid of them all. Once banished by the four giants, this skull kid returns to Termina only to become a prisoner in his own skin. Under the influence of the dreaded Majora’s Mask, skull kid starts wreaking havoc, including sending the moon on a one-way collision course with Termina. What separates Skull Kid though is that he is not inherently evil. A trickster, yes, but not evil, and he is being transformed before our very eyes into one of the most demonic Zelda villains of all t

In many ways, John Marston is similar to Arthur Morgan. John Marston can be described as impatient and hard-working. They both are loyal to the Van der Linde gang, yet shared the same feelings when they were betrayed. John Marston is a secondary protagonist in Red Dead Redemptio

Legendary Wolf: Located in Grizzlies East, southwest of Wapiti Indian Reservation near the geysers. Hunting this creature will allow players to craft the rare Wolf Heart Trinket, the Legendary Cougar/Wolf Vest and the Legendary Wolf Batwing Ch

Arthur and John’s relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur’s redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the “redemption” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p

Legendary Bullgator: After finishing “That’s Murfree Country” in Chapter 4, a player can locate the creature Bayou Nwa, south of Lagras and west of Lakay. It is highly dangerous, but killing it will allow a player to craft the rare Alligator Tooth Talisman, the Legendary Alligator Fowlers, the Legendary Alligator Vest, and the Legendary Alligator Gambler’s

By the time the gang reaches Clemens Point, Arthur and John’s relationship is a little better. While Arthur shows more respect for John, he still talks down to him and calls him an idiot. That is, until Jack is taken by the Braithwaites and given to Angelo Bronte. Arthur suddenly finds himself much more sympathetic towards John, and he tries to comfort him amidst the stressful situation. Once Jack is safely returned, Arthur praises John for his handling of the situation and starts treating him with more respect and admirat
