Yea I thought it was kinda lame that you had to play as emo Jack, and I swear I thought the game ended like 3-4 times before it actually did. Although it was kind of cool how John sacrificed himself for his family.

I wasn't that big of a fan of the game asa a whole though.

I thought the ending was a complete letdown, the epilogue mission was crap storywise.

Man I thought the whole game was a letdown. Doing dirty work after dirty work, in practically the same damn format as GTA 4. Not to mention the actual content of the game (dialogue, gameplay, characters) was pretty lame.

I didn't like that you couldn't play as John after the ending. It means that DLC will also be emo Jack. Does Jack remind anyone else of Orlando Bloom in the Pirates movies?

Ross needs someone to hunt, or he doesn't have a job. And he's a jerk. You kill Ross, as Jack. The ending was good. OH no I don't get to play as John, who cares they look the same from behind. Anyways John sacrificed himself for his son, so his son could have a normal life, but his son just wants revenge.

I thought Red Dead Redemption was great. I loved the story. I don't understand why so many people complain about it. The repetitive missions didn't bother me. I mean, what else do you expect from the missions besides running around and killing people? That's what John is meant to do. I focused more on the story than the gameplay.

And all the negative talk about Jack is really frustrating. People don't understand what kind of character he was meant to be and the character he unfortunately becomes in the end of the game, and so they whine about him being weird, annoying, etc. I thought that he was displayed very well throughout the entire game.

well in the end what happen is Ross never really planed to let John go in the first place. They used him to do their Job and then killed him. Thats the whole theme of the game if you ask me. You cant just go and live a life of crime and then act like it never happened. people dont forgive stuff like that and deep down inside John knew that. Thats whay they have the "Outlawas to the end" slogan.

The ending was actually quite good storywise. If I wanted to read into it I would say Marston's death represented the death of the cowboy and the invasion of technology, one of the ongoing theme's in the plot. However, this is not an english class, so let's just say the ending was pretty badass.

Now what I didn't like was having to play as his "girlyman" (as governor schartzenegger would put it) of a son to complete the rest of the game. If he says "work it there nag" one more time, I swear to god I will lose it!

The ending was great actually. However, I didn't like the Remember My Family mission, I thought it would be more epic :p But it was too similar to GTA.

i felt like they killed john marston unreasonably, just to give the player a shell shock, it seems really out of character for him to walk into fire like that, i mean after all we spend the whole game realizing how badass marston is, but in the end he goes like a nobody.

Are you guys kidding me? The ending was awesome. I thought it was really heartfelt. You save your family, then you walk out the barn and get lit up. I almost cried!

and playing as Jack is so fitting. The epilogue mission is justified. (Red Dead.... REDEMPTION)

and did you guys notice? Your family is buried on the same hill where you find the "I Know you" quest. Its a connection to god/heaven. Really well done.

I loved the ending.

The ending was amazing. John's sacrifice left me with the same ending as the movie Unforgiven, and meant his attempts to be a better man had finally succeeded for eternity. The further seal of redemption as handled by Jack was a nice touch too. And then if you were sadistic like me, you took Ross's wife and brother out in new and exciting ways...

This was one of the best game endings I'd ever seen in a game. Remember, they've pulled a lot of story ideas and themes from the old Spaghetti Westerns. And in those movies, many times the hero didn't always make it in the end. But he is still remembered as a hero. The missions on the ranch with the family had more meaning because of this ending. And playing as Jack is fitting. Because the ranch missions with Jack were like advanced tutorials for him of what we had done at the beginning of the game. Herding cattle, hunting, breaking horses, etc. It was fitting that you go on with Jack.

100% agreed, someone completely incompetent trying to fill a giants shoes......Plus he has that stupid vioce argh. Otherwise I enjoyed the whole game, I couldn't stop playing and the only thing I didn't like about the ending was that I had to use that girly gay voice instead of John's...Otherwise the ending was quite cool, Johns redemption and all

Well, if they follow the DLC formula of GTA IV, any single player DLC will probably involve a completely different character who's story weaves in and out with John's story. Maybe you play a Mexican Rebel or a man in the Army. Who knows.

I was actually agreeing with the Orlando Bloom thing :P Your most likely right for the DLC R* always do that, its spices things up.

Y'know, after racing back to the homestead to find Abi and Jack were whole and hale, I was greatly relieved- I had been expecting some final trick of Ross's. As the game continued, I began to hope that the game would tie up a few loose ends, and close out on a 'happily ever after' note. But then I started thinking about all the strangers I never came across, all the challenges and gang hideouts I never completed, and how a rancher wouldn't take time away from his ranch just to wander around the west doing odd jobs and hunting down bounty targets, and I began to worry that something would happen to Marston's family. The ending took me completely by surprise, but considering the only alternative to allow John to continue free roaming, I was glad of how it ended. I was less than than satisfied with how they dealt with Bonnie, though.

The reason he did that was because he knew that it would never end, his past would always catch up to him. If he had ran he would be putting his family in danger, his redemption was his death.

Well I sure was sad that John died, but I feel this was the best ending possible. It was very emotional and it has a meaning, no matter what you do, you cannot forget the mistakes of the past. Although playing as Jack felt a bit wrong, the ending was extremely well done.

Oh really? Is that what that whole "I know you" side mission is about? Some sort of connection between the stranger and their burial sites?

I never understood what the point of that side quest was.

I liked the ending VERY MUCH because it was realistic. There was nor riding off into the sunset with a happy song, there was no lets kill on these officers & then have dinner around the table...the was ONLY you do bad & you get punished for it at the end. One of the most realistic & amazing games I've played this year.
