Are you serious? I'm not saying that Rockstar is the greatest storyteller ever. I'm saying that you misinterpreted the ending. And yes. Fleeing to South America is totally possible with 3 people with two horses.

[QUOTE="Jonzey123"]Red Dead Redemption had the WORST ending out of any game I have ever played. Ripping control away from the player is incredibly cheap and stupid way to create drama at the expense of gameplay. I would not have minded if the game left you in control, but threw waves of enemies at you until you ran out of ammo or died, like the ending to Halo Reach. I would not feel cheated then because I would have had the choice- fight to the end or give up and die quickly. I would know I had done everything I could but escape was impossible. Instead the game just takes control away from you and says YOU DO THIS NOW. YOU DIE. HAHAHAHA DRAMATIC! There weren't that many people. If I was actually playing, I could have taken them. Marston did not have to die. He could have escaped, caught up with his family and fled to Mexico. Or anywhere else on the entire continent. But he didn't, because... because... I've seen people say he did it because he knew his family would never be safe if he didn't. That's just the stupidest thing in the world. I mean, if the guys who are after you can find you at your home address five minutes down the road from where they are, they can find you anywhere, right? Wrong? They needed Marston to track down Marston's gang because no one else could find them? Now there are no other members of the gang left and he could just disappear and live out the rest of his days in blissful peace? Where's the forced tragedy in that! Games don't work the same way as movies. Especially open world games. I wish Rockstar would realise this.ZombieKiller7

Oh, and thank you for responding in a mature, intelligent way.

Secondly,[spoiler] one third of the game is set in Mexico. He now has "friends" in high places in Mexico. He could probably hide out there, or anywhere else on the entire continent of South America and live out his days in peace. I can't believe you're actually getting angry at me for daring to question Rockstar's poor storytelling techniques. GTA4 and L.A. Noire did not work as story driven open world games either.

Pretty good haul so far.

• Hydrophobia
• Bit-Trip Runner
• The Longest Journey
• Dreamfall
• Vampire: The Masquerade
• Jamestown
• Darksiders
• The Maw
• Alpha Protocol
• Stalker SoC and CoP
• Ghost Master

I'm still hoping to see Jade Empire on sale, I've always wanted to play that.

UnknownSniper65

I was going to buy that ,but I thought it was pretty ridiculous that it was still $13 for such an old game.

[QUOTE="Jonzey123"]So smaller developer makes ambitious game but is forced to wrestle for creative control of their own project with big-name publisher resulting in a clearly disjointed game? If this was any other publisher- Activision, EA, etc interfering with a developers direction, fans would be upset. Instead they assume that every bad decision was Team Bondi and every good decision was Rockstar, because Rockstar can do no wrong.Giant_Panda

You should read IGN's article on Team Bondi's development hell for L.A. Noire. It seriously appears to be that Bondi has some of the worst management ever.

Ugly =/= Beautiful, and Vice Versa.

Is there seriously people out there who are going to buy RE4 at this point that haven't already?

Did RE5 really bomb that hard that Capcom has to rerelease old games yet again?
