Just finished Red Dead....(SPOILER)

And the ending hit me like a ton of bricks, I can't believe how attached emotionally I was to the protagonist until his final scene. It wasn't a gung-ho style big finish, it was just a bloke doing the right thing by his family. Wow it hit me hard, I never realised games could project this kind of emotion until now haha. How about you? Did you guys get the same sort of impact from the completion of the game?

i know or i even understand what u are feeling. when i finished it iwas anxious, its like my hearts crying but facially im okay.....i call my dad the after that and tell him i love him... it was a good day......

yeah i was sad, then angry cause his son is a cry baby weekling.

Same here, i wasn't emotional at the end.....at all

I knew it was coming, I googled him, because I thought I'd had heard his voice before, and all I saw was "John Marston;- Deceased" and I had only just started the game. So I was prepared for the end.

Unfortunately the day I brought the game somebody spoiled it for me :( ! So I knew it was comin.

At the end when he opens the barn door you have target them all in dead eye so when I targeted them I thought he might escape. Shame he only killed around half :( There is another mission after that though for the credits to roll in blackwater train station you have to kill the goverment guy.

yeah i was sad, then angry cause his son is a cry baby weekling.

While I didn't like the majority of the story of RDR I will say John Marston was a good protagonist and i did feel sad at the ending. And it was even sadder to see that Jack Marston undid everything his dad was trying to do by (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THSOE WHO HAVEN'T DONE THE "Remember my Family" QUEST) killing the Federal Agent.

This game has arguably the best ending of any game I've played. John Marston is a character you grow to care about and getting to continue the game as his son is epic.

Hands down the best ending in any videogame last year. "Red Dead Redemption"

The ending was awesome, although I don't consider that the ending. I was really angry how John actually died. I couldn't believe it. The best part was when [spoiler] you play as John's kid and go kill the retired old cop that killed his dad. Now that was awesome. [/spoiler]

I was just pissed that I didn't get to kill the old guy with the bowler hat as John Marston. I figured something might happen to him but I thought that you'd at least get to kill him from that one mission where John said "I can't wait to put a bullet in your head." It would have been better to have him at least kill the bad guy as John or to get to fight all those guys in like an unwinnable fight where they all storm the barn and you kill as many as you can rather than just have him give up. Fron a logical standpoint it would have given his family more time to escape as well.

Probably my favorite game ending, sadly a lot of people spoiled the ending for me.

I probably would have cared if I wasn't nearly bored to death by herding cows and shooting crows. Seriously, those farm life missions at the end were a pain in the rear. Much too long.nethernova
