As we mentioned, John was the brunt of quite a few insults. Throughout the game, you are able to antagonize John, and the results are just as funny as they are shockingly ruthless. Arthur teases John with the prospect of an impending wolf attack, calls him a spineless pansy, and makes fun of his inability to swim. We could go on, but we'd be here all day. We don't know if these insults are in a loving, brotherly way, or genuine, spiteful insults. We're going with the lat

While being introduced to Mr. Gedes after defending his home at Pronghorn Ranch, John is caught in a lie. He has already introduced himself as Jim Milton to Mr. Dickens, Mr. Gedes’s farmhand, and has been going by that name. Yet during John’s first encounter face to face with the owner of Pronghorn Ranch, he forgets his alias and introduces himself as John...Jim Milto

Arthur was a loyal man, but why couldn't he see the madness in front of his eyes? He still views Dutch as the man who raised him and refuses to raise a hand against him, which only leads to problems for the Marston family in the original Red Dead G

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

The time Arthur spends in Guarma is a narrative low point. Its only clear purpose is to show how Dutch has cracked, but that could have been done in any setting. Guarma is filler in a section of the game that should have been dedicated to advancing the story, and fast. If nothing else, it doesn’t last particularly l

In the spur of the moment, John has to decide if he’s riding for revenge, risking everything he has worked for, or if he’s staying home and putting it all behind him. He chooses to ride with Sadie and Charles as they trace Micah’s associate to Strawberry. This scene echos John and Arthur’s talks about loyalty and who to be loyal too. In the end, Arthur was his most trusted friend and even after completing what Arthur wanted, John to escape and live with his family, he puts it on the line for open world Games secrets certain clos

One of the most highly anticipated game titles in recent years, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is a direct sequel to the hit _ Red Dead Redemption, _ allowing you to explore the wilds of America’s frontierland as an outlaw. On both PS4 and Xbox One, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ has garnered the highest ratings of any game on the platfo

Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there's a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w

Arthur believed up until the end that Dutch had the ability to change. He thought Dutch could be redeemed of his ways and turn it around for the good of the gang, even after it was proven that Dutch was too far g

None of this is possible though, without a character with the perfect mesh of personality. John Marston is arguably the best protagonist in all of gaming, a believable man, and a natural creator of memorable quotes. His personality is what helped make the game so attractive, and this list will pay homage to his best lines from Red Dead Redemption

The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at

If you are new to Grand Theft Auto , or only played the fifth installment, you may have wondered why trucker, Eddie Low was refused by a security guard. Well, there is a reason for that. This backstory is less about Grand Theft Auto V's Eddie Low and more about the video game's fourth installment of a similarly-named charac

While many members of the gang were close to Jack, it was Arthur who essentially took him under his wing while John was busy pouting. For example, he takes Jack fishing, talks to him with great affection, and gives him a few life lessons. Jack also leaves Arthur candy after Arthur finds a book. Arthur also scolds John for his neglect, and he shows just as much worry after Jack is taken and given to Angelo Bronte. At times, Arthur was more a father to Jack than J
