Let's face it, RDR's ending was surprising. So surprising in fact that even after being spoiled for me I was pretty shocked and stunned after turning my PS3 off.

John Marston's way of leaving this world was pretty noble and he deserves such a good one. He dies defending his family, first he tell his Wife and Son to run away then goes out of the barn he was hiding in to face almost 20 agents, he tries to kill them all but can't. And so Marston dies.

That's not where the game ends though. After Johm Marston dies, a cut scene starts showing his son – an adult now – standing in front of his fathers and mothers tombs, then comes the surprise, you can play as him. That really surprised me but no that much as rockstar tends to let you play even after an ending so I knew they were gonna find a way to let me keep exploring the world they created. The game is supposed to end here but what a lot of people who finished the game doesn't know is that an important side mission, a revenge mission were John's son tracks down his fathers killer and kills him. It's nothing important but something here caught my attention, the credits doesn't roll until you do this particular side mission.

Rockstars approach to end this amazing game is (well) amazing!!!!!!! It's the first time I ever play a game where a side mission is so important, it actually punishes you for not continuing to play the game. I loved the ending, probably the best ending I ever saw. Even though I hated it at first, I found out I felt that way cause I was really attached to John's character. Kudos to Rockstar for making an amazing game and ending it the way it deserves to end. Here's hoping that the next Red Dead will be as good as this one.
