Leaving one’s entire life behind can be quite a crazy experience. When John left the gang and his old life behind for a year before coming back, what exactly did he do? Managing to eat and survive takes a multitude of skills, he was either robbing on his own or maybe John learned a trade to make some legal money. Maybe it was easier going it alone, and he just missed his family. What took place during this time, and the reason he came back still isn’t clearly sta

Skull kids are introduced in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which was made before the year 2000. It wasn’t until Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask that the player encounters the most unique skull kid of them all. Once banished by the four giants, this skull kid returns to Termina only to become a prisoner in his own skin. Under the influence of the dreaded Majora’s Mask, skull kid starts wreaking havoc, including sending the moon on a one-way collision course with Termina. What separates Skull Kid though is that he is not inherently evil. A trickster, yes, but not evil, and he is being transformed before our very eyes into one of the most demonic Zelda villains of all t

We learn a lot about John through his relationship with Arthur Morgan. And some of these truths were not easy to see or digest. We also learn more about the Marston family, their backgrounds, their relationships, and the impact that Arthur had on the family and their future. Not only is the prequel setting a great way to establish character and backgrounds, but it's also a great way to expand the scope of the series' thematic webs. Arthur's interactions with the Marston family deepen and strengthen the overall umbrella of Red Dead Redemption 's themes, ideas, and stateme

Both Laura Bailey and Nadia Black return to their roles from the mainline Uncharted games and deliver performances that make this spinoff feel like much more than that. This game manages to exclude the series' main protagonist and deliver an authentic Uncharted experie

John started off a hesitant family man, to say the least. Ditching the gang, leaving Abigail and young Jack behind, it raises the question why. As Dutch reveals in one of his last encounters with John during the first Red Dead Redemption , the whole gang has been with Abigail, and it’s not like DNA testing was around to clarify. Was John a hesitant family man because he wasn't sure he was Jack's true father? John was young and impressionable, this could be the reasoning behind why he left, and why he treats Jack like less than a son during the first half of Red Dead Redemption 2 , but the player will never know for s

Whenever a new FromSoftware game releases it's met with the expectation that it will be a solid experience at the very least. With the release of Bloodborne , they proved that they could move away from a fantasy setting and still deliver a world full of mystery, intrigue, and st

Dutch responds by trying to calm the situation, calling John his brother and his son. John has had enough of it and immediately sides with Arthur. This line is one of a few that catalyst into the end of the Van Der Linde gang, and the death of Arthur as the Pinkertons ambush the camp in the middle of the stand

John didn’t have many friends left by the end of Red Dead Redemption , yet the ones he did were close. Bonnie McFarlane, Bill Pearson, Charles Smith, Sadie Adler, possibly even Seth. Did any of them visit John’s grave, did any of them even hear what happe

John fed up with Dutch’s talk, demands What Plan, what Goddamn plan Dutch? It appears John has had enough of Dutch’s beating around the bush. In a mocking attempt to answer his own question John even starts naming locations to run too "Tahiti? Timbuktu?" Javier retorts "Enough what happened to loyalty?" To which John responds "Yeah, What d

Despite releasing on both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Persona 5 gave the world another dose of the Persona Open world games beginner guide that knocked it out of the park. Persona is a series that requires a ton of time investment, but the cast of characters and relationships grow on you in a way that makes it all worthwh

After Dutch convinces Eagle Flies to lead his men to an army controlled oil field for an attack, John utters this line. This comes after John’s escape from Sisica penitentiary, and tensions are at an all-time high. Dutch states he is partially responsible for Eagle Flies attack, and that it is all a part of his p

Arthur and John's relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur's redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the "redemption" of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p
