just finished red dead redemption "spoilers"

damn :( the ending was the best ending ive seen in all the games ive played very sad but very epic, il never forget that scene RIP JOHN MARSTON

Iv just finished it last week, best game iv ever played. The characters and voice acting were awesome.

Hopefully LA NOIRE will have just as good of a story!

I'm stuck in the middle of undead nightmare....not sure what to do next.:|

Yup! Awesome game.

I thought it was lame. John had fought impossible odds all games. Taking out entire forts of bandits, but he can't even take out 5 guys outside of his barn? Give me a break.

I can't agree with you more, TC. RDR completely blew me away. I have high hopes for LA Noire.

Too bad that's not really the end of the game only the end of John's journey

I'm counting 13 along w/ only having time to take out your revolver, I thought this part was well executed.

At one point the game was kinda ruined for me because my friend was watching me play it and asked "why does the main character sound like bill paxton" from twister, and after that I could not hear john talk without thinking twister.

Yeah i really liked it, though i HATED how his son looks when he grows up, and also his voice was kinda stupid.

John walked outside the barn knowing he was going to die. He sacrificed himself so that his wife and child would live on. John could have killed all of them, but he didn't because he knew that hey would mercilessly hunt him and his family down. He tried to take out as many as he could before going down for good.Toned_man

^This! In my opinion i think they did a great job with the story, not many stories keep me entertained like red dead did.

Yup, I completed 95% of the extra stuff with john before I did the final missions and damn was I glad because Jack was super annoying....work ya damn nag!

I loved the ending, it was different and I think he had to come out, he knew that if he didn't then they would have killed his family too, it's not like he could have tried to fight them off because they would have retaliated if he had killed any lawmen.

Also, ya OP, as others are stating, there's still a bit to jacks story, it's short and simple, but its good.

Yeah he could have. He could have gunned down every single one of them there and you know what....more would have came. Maybe not that day, but they would have come. He realized this. The point isn't that he was outnumbered at that moment. The point is that he had spent a life outside of society's laws and for that society demanded his blood. Just like with Bill Williamson, Javier Esqulia, and Dutch Van Der Linde. John realized, in that moment, that the only way his family were ever going to know peace was if he paid the price demanded of him.

yeah i was sadly dissapointed with the game for sure. i mean it had a great story and voice acting, but the actual gameplay was crap. i hated the dead eye stuff, the free aim was shaky, and horses are too damn slow. some of the graphics were nice, but a lot of pop in Tall Trees. i sold it the day after i beat it. and the ending was pretty lame honestly, its like, does every western end that way??im looking at you butch cassidy and the sundance kid.

i did not enjoy it. and i loved GTA4 and am looking forward to LA Noire...kinda weird

So two examples = an entire genre? (Keep in mind, also, that Butch and Sundance are based off real events)

Yeah, the guy who thought it was lame was right though. Yes, the ending is a part of the "theme" of RDR, that karma (all your wrong doings) will eventually catch up to you. But it is kinda stupid that Marston survived all odds, yet he CHOSE to exit in the front of the barn. He knew what was coming, and I guess he chose that way b/c so future karma won't bother the rest of his family. The burden was on him alone. Great game, I didn't like the ending too much. Marston's kid had an annoying voice, and after a few mins of playing with the son, I reverted to an old save so I can try to play the game with J.marston again.

Great game, SO-SO ending.

Definitely a memorable ending to a truly great game. John Marston was the best character I have seen yet in a video game. This will be one of those games I'll remember for a long time.

One of the best endings this gen. It was the only way his family would be left alone, and it was a twist for someone used to Rockstar's endings. (good guy wins, bad guy dies)

I'm actually re-playing it right now, re-watching all of the cutscenes, etc. I forgot how incredible the whole story is, just so raw and intense. Definitely will always be a classic.

damn, dont you guys get whats the meaning of the ending? john was brave enough to die like that and to show the police that hes not afraid of them, and the reason why he get out of that barn is for them to kill him because JOHN MARSTON KNOWS, THAT HIS FAMILY WONT HAVE PEACE AND WILL ALWAYS BE CHASED AND HUNTED BY THE POLICE AND HE DOESNT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, INSTEAD he faced the odds and get out of the barn fearlesly for his family, now JUST LOOK AT how good that ending was.. that was epic :((Srenjy

Liked the game as a whole. I really disliked the ending. If it would have let me play the ending like I did the rest of the game, and it just overran me with impossibility then that would have been epic! They could have set the barn on fire, completely surround it. But I could have easily poked my head out there shot 6 of them (because lets face it, the game wasn't hard on hard with auto aim off) get back in reload and repeat, easy as pie. At least Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid really did face enormous odds and they didn't give up!

Considering the themes of the game and the story within it, those endings are simply distasteful, no matter how you look at it. It's about honor, dedication, and family values. The ending couldn't have been better for a game with those kinds of themes.

Except that neither of those would have worked with the narrative. The whole reason why John left the outlaw life behind, and the reason he agreed to hunt down his former brothers-in-arms was to give his family a peaceful life. Living a voilent life on the run is rather counterintuitive to that goal. At the end John did what he had to do to give his wife and son peace. He sacrificed himself to save his family.

This has to be the best game i've ever played. It's perfect in every way. A damn fine game from Rockstar.

Yeah, I just recently finished red dead redemption for the first time myself a few days ago and it was sad. Not many videogame characters get to me, but what happened to John Marston and everything he had gone through in life was tragic.

I wish they would've gotten into more of the earlier characters you met. Like, what happened to them? Bonnie, and Marshal Johnson & a few others. Otherwise, it was an amazing game for me as well :)iTs-Sneak

The newspaper gives some indication after you take control of Jack.Marshal Johnson retires and moves away. Landon Ricketts dies in his sleep. Not sure if it says what happens to Bonnie.
