[spoiler] but in the end, john marston dies, and so does his wife due to depression, they never become ranchers, ross is credited with the defeat of waltons gang, and jack was spurred into a life of violence that john worked so hard to keep jack away, sigh, in the end, no one wins [/spoiler]

I think in that one paticular instance things became a tad bit more realistic than a one man cowboy taking on an entire army all by himself. It would of been predictable.

[spoiler] And that's what really pissed me off. He didn't even try. He tried once, at a place right next to the guys who wanted him dead. How about travelling to Mexico? Or anywhere else in the USA, or the entire freakin' world? Red dead's ending was absolutely terrible and to be honest ruined my entire view of the game. Ripping control away from the player for some forced, semi-dramatic ending is not good storytelling in a video game. Now, if they really were unbeatable odds and they let you try to fight your way out and die, that would be better (and no, one second of Dead Eye does not count). But saying you play as John Marston until the game decides you should die would be like fighting Bowser in Mario, but having control taken away from you and Mario just jumping off the edge. This sort of thing does not work in video game storytelling and the sooner developers stop leaning on movie cliches for their storylines the sooner gaming as a whole can evolve and start to be taken more seriously. But then again, everyone else luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurves the ending and thinks its the best ending evar and I'm the only person who feels that way about it. :/ [/spoiler]
