RDR Ending discussion *MAJOR SPOILERS*... Obviously :)

Well, I sorta' liked the ending.

But there are some unanswered questions.

Why did my wife die? What was their reasoning of coming out and killing me?

But so, so horrible. John Marston is easily one of my favorite video game characters of all time.

I really didn't see him dieing considering you free roam after the game.

Anyway, what did you think about it?

Anything you're confused about? Hmm?

The "I Know you" Stranger confused me the most. As its never really clear who or what he is.

He is ye old G-Man.

I think the agents wanted to kill you because they wanted someone else to do all thier work and they could just finish you off last.

oh and im kinda curious to see if there will be any DLC we could see more about jack. :)

ending was terrible

felt like it came out of nowhere

and no way jack could've filled john's shoes, that kid was a pansy

People keep complaining about how John died,but it was realistic.If they had done a cliche,ride-off-into-the-sunset-happy-ending,I would have been pissed.Plus the mission where Jack gets revenge was badass(especially if you're wearing The Legend of the West outfit).

But it was pretty obvious from the beginning that the agents were just using John for their dirty work,and they were planning on finishing him off anyways once he was done.Overall,the ending was very good,and I'm glad they did it that way.

Especially there are some problems with the story, as of stranger quest I completely change. *Half of it was done with John* then I come back as Jack, and they have a normal conversation as if it had been Jack from the start. Personally, I think they should've kept John alive. I mean he had loads of potential.Wakanoid

I liked the ending. I sort of expected it to be honest, from the second i got to the Marston ranch and everything was too nice and relaxed. Of course, i don't like Jack nearly as much as John (his voice still sounds like he's a teen) but i thought it ended well, in true western style (the end showdown in 'the last enemy to be destroyed' reminded me of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)

As for the guy in 'I Know You', i got the impression he was the Devil. He brought up times when John had killed innocent people and was quite cruel about it. Also, he mentions he is an accountant of sorts. An accountant of souls most likely....ahem. Plus bullets went right through him.Anyways that's what i thought.

I thought the ending was good - at least it was unpredictable. Yeah, Ross was probably planning to kill off the entire gang, including John, all along. He just used Marston to kill Williamson, Escuala and Dutch for him then he killed Marston. Ross was a scumbag anyway and he had plenty of justification considering Marston's checkered past. It's believable that grown up Jack could turn out to be badass considering he is a Marston. I hope they continue with Jack's story in expansions but I doubt they could bring him back for a sequel since it was already 1914 by the time he revenged his old man and killed Ross, the wild west was almost tamed by then. Yeah, Jack's mom probably could have died from disease, maybe they'll explain her death and what happened with the ranch in expansions.

I Beat the game not to long ago and it may sound bad but it was a depressing ending, i would have loved to see a sequel with john in it, John was easily one of the best characters to grace a game in a very long time, which makes the ending even more sad, oh well im gonna play thro the story again lol

1st off I have to, thats what she said.

2nd a ending coming out of nowhere is called a surprise ending, and they are a good thing. We don't play games to no the ending from the beginning.

3rd Junior lives in the West qnd his whole family was killed, you'd get tough fasr too.

Know if I could change anything I would have John take out the Agent guy and after John dies you see the Agent curse him for mortallly wounding him

i think john was one of my most loved characters from a game, on the last mission when hes stood behind the barn door before he pushes it through and gets killed.

I remember thinking to myself JOHN NOOOOOO ! DONT DO IT! as soon as i knew he was going to die a little piece of me died inside. Jack will never sufficiently be able to fill his fathers shoes.

You pretty much summed it up. That's the only way the game could've ended without completely changing John's character. Everything he did in this game was for his family, it would've taken a huge shift on his part to bring his wife and especially his son back to the life he worked so hard to take and keep them away from.

i have literally just finished the game half an hour ago and i have to say im kinda shocked by the ending,

i put a lot of time into the single player, more time than i have put into any single player game in a long time, and that is mainly because i liked the character and his story so much,

so it was a bit of a shock to see him die at the end, and playing as jack, well it just isnt the same, i still have a lot of stuff to do in order to get 100% complete and i was really looking forward to doing it after the story was over, now im not even sure i want to go back and play single player more,

having said that, i dont think it would have worked ending it any other way, john spent the whole game protecting his family, its fitting that he should die protecting them as well

i have a question can you shoot that old guy that betrayed you?

you know when john opens the door a time slows down?

The ending was amazing, playing as jack was so cool mainly due to the fact while roaming around the area,your going to areas you went with as john and you spent countless hours playing as john and to know he is buried 10 feet in the ground makes it so surreal and emotional.

I guess people just hate strong, emothional, unahppy endings. For me I found it to be one of the greatest endings to a video game ive played, it just felt.. right.

I was quite happy with the ending...What I didn't like was most of the last chapter was boring as hell...I wanted some massive shootouts and epic battles...Instead I got to "Take ma boy huntin" and "Round up some cattle and put em out to pasture" and "Lasso some horses and break em in"...Seriously I just wanted it to end...One of the most boring finishes to a game I have ever played.

Your wife probably died of disease or some other old timey common death cause. And Ross came after you because, he needs a reason for his job. They'll always find someone to hunt, or they won't have a job(plus he's a jackass) And John was trying to save his son from the outlaw life by sacrificing himself, because he knew Ross would hunt him and his family til he was dead.Agent-Zero

Actually, she most likely died of old age. It was so weird that there were many elderly people in the game because people rarely lived over 30 in that time.

I just finished it a few hours ago. I loved the ending. Very powerful stuff. Has to be one of the best endings I've seen in a videogame. I didn't think John would die. Even when he opened the doors and faced all those soldiers, I still thought he might make it. To see him get taken out like that, then see his family find his body... Wow. Very powerful and mature ending, brilliantly set-up by the family missions that came just before it. Amazing end to an amazing game.x-2tha-z

Playing as Jack is so...weird. His voice still sounds like he's 13 but he looks at least 30.

I'm agreeing with this too.

It's a twist for the story and this is what I call a Rockstar ending. The Agents already wanted John dead from the very moment he stepped into Blackwater but only John can get close to his former gang members without being shot dead within seconds. Wished i could've killed Ross in a better way than just a duel. :/

When John looked thru the doors, and sees about 3, i was ready to take them all down but when he opened, MAN was i shocked. Before i tried, i knew John's road ends there.

Jack, for a start can get uneasy since the time spent with John and his character building is so much that a sudden change will upset the player (Maybe that's what R* wanted us to feel?) But as time goes by, i'm already fine playing as Jack. I still miss John but Jack isnt so bad once you spent some time with him

Playing as Jack is so...weird. His voice still sounds like he's 13 but he looks at least 30.

LMAO. Ya it bugs me man...either be a teen or be 30, not both.

I thought John was stupid, so I'm glad he got deaded. Jack is the mu****in man!!!

I agree with the M rating for this game. Because after reading some of the responses here. I realized those who get this game at an early age will not truly understand the deeper themes of this game. :(

I've already gotten John killed, am I to understand that is not really the end and I have missions left to do with Jack, other than the stranger missions?
