Accessing the Secret Ending for Red Dead Redemption

This is the only ending. And i didn’t like it , it was too obvious and easy ….

doope game, really good ending

You just saved this game for me. Loved the game, just a bit disappointed with how it turned out.

soooo pissed how the oneneding happened i loved john. if i was himi wouldv shot thro the barn and ran i mean i had a fucking shot gun and rifle and dynomite he couldve lived and jacks voice is so squeaky
WHAT THE FUCK rockstar

so what is the alt ending do i get another character change. anyone would be better then jack

you guys are dumb, jack is amazing, he is growing up just to be like john, and i hope we do play him in the next game, thatd be sick. great game, great ending

The ending was great yes i had dynamite to i could have easly killed those handful of guys but that not the point. The point is they wanted him dead and wouldnt stop until he was dead it sort of symbolized the death of the cowboy since about that time thing were becoming more modern. John sacrificed himself so him family could live if he didnt then they would be force to be on the run till caught again or even killed. Hell his friend uncle was alreay killed and he didnt do anything. The ending was great and for every one who says they didnt like the ending then explain what you wanted to happen, cause if you cant then you have no room to complain. And lastly jack marston may not be as cool as john but he young he wasnt grown up yet i dont understand how people say he the worst character when he is you the hole point is now you build jacks personality is he angry at the world or forgiving an evil asshole or a kind gentle men. Depending on what you do may even effect the next game since alot of games are doing that now adays.

Well, actually. It isnt a bad ending really. Its a different one. Its a unique ending. Other GTA games havent ended like this, but the one thing about it is some of the missions were, well dull. Especially to the end. Last mission was good, and the ending was kind of shocking tbh. Different, to say the least.

what a horrible ending. i understand the argument that the army or ross were never going to leave john and his family alone so he sacrificed himself. BUT, we’re playing a game here, a game where the creators have full creative-license and could have done 50 different things to keep john alive and have a happy ending. when i peaked out the door and seen the military in the last mission i instantly thought okay, im gonna run for this ladder in the barn, go up top to the deck and smoke these fools in ‘red eye’ with the henry repeater, or chuck some dynamite out there and piss on the ashes. instead i get stuck in a suicide scene. mad bogus. a better ending would have been to kill the military, then chase ross to blackwater and smoke him in front of his secretary and become the new mayor or sheriff or something. ross was the one with the beef, so you kill him, you have a worry-free john marston and a happy ending. then maybe in the next game you could have jack taking over for his aging father or something. its stupid that people try to say that was the only possible ending though…..we’re playing a GAME, where theres an infinity of possible endings, and when you play a game for 40 hours, you sort of expect not to be kicked in the balls when you get to the finish line. if ROCKSTAR doesnt bring john marston and his beloved abigail back to life in the sequel, (once again its a game, it might be far-fetched but they can certainly do it) i will be pissed. jack is OK, but hes no John. maybe after some careful planning on ROCKSTARS part i could have been coaxed and convinced into taking jack up as the main character. but there was no grooming period for the new main character, he was a snobby little book worm who i found myself wanting to shoot instead of parent. but i guess ROCKSTAR thinks after hunting with this awkward little fellow a few times, and on the grounds of him being the beloved main characters son, they can just kill off the dude who you’d been playing as for 2 days straight and you would accept the replacement just fine. i say its stupid, i hope ROCKSTAR can get a little more creative next time and reward people after they spend hours on end playing their game instead of judo-chopping them in the taint. fu rockstar.

when john said we all pay for what we do in the end it was his time to pay up he couldnt of went out in a better way he died like a man not by shooting through the barn or throwing dynAmite out of it and the fact that his son is just like him is the happy ending what did you expects a disney ending psha

also if you look at the gravestones your mum has dies too :'(

@Derek To everyone thinking, “Oh, I could’ve easily taken out those 10-15 guys.” If John had killed those soldiers, they would just keep coming after him and his family. He decided to sacrifice himself to protect his family and give them a life of normalcy.

I thought it was a perfect ending.

when you think about , i know people say that they could killed them with dynamite and their henry repeater , but my idea of the ending was (now my ending , if i was him ) i wouldnt of done the suicidal ending i would of burst out of the barn and confronted Ross , like the start with Williamson , and convinced him to let me live in peace , if that didnt work then i would of went like a man just walked up to him and let him take me to jail , because of the way his wife and son were when he died , you couldnt put somebody through that and also Jack might of grown up to be a mayor or work for a decent living , not become a cold-blooded killer .

It was an appropriate and powerful ending. Unfortunately for John his decisions to sacrifice himself turned out for the worst, since the better life he wanted for his son never happened. His son became a vengeful individual, and became like his father which was the last thing John wanted.

horrible ending.
come on, it’s a game. if ROCKSTAR really wants to make millions, now they should make another (happy) ending to RDR so that people can download it for money. if they’ll do that, it will defently sell great.

The clue to the ending was in the title. ‘Redemption’. In the manner of his death he redeemed his character from the many stains from his days as a killer. It was a bit like the ending of Gran Tourino with Clint. Clint of course has a couple of links to Westerns.

to all the people saying “oh it should have had a happy ending, they could have taken creative license to make it better” that would have completely ruined the entire story. The second John marston stepped onto that iron horse at the beginning, with his wild west clothing among suited men and talk of motorcars, I knew he had to die for this story to be complete. look back to GTA 4, that hardly had a happy ending, and it was better for it. any old game can have you finishing off with your family and friends safe and sound, but it takes a great developer to make a game who’s ending leaves a lump in your throat as much as this did. Dutch himself was aware that they were a dying breed. and to that guy who said “I would have let them arrest me” do you really think they ever planned to arrest john? he was a remnant of a bygone age, and much like the father in The Road, he must die for life to move on.

Fan-bloody-tastic ending Rockstar, couldn’t have been a better western ending if it tried

I really enjoyed the ending especially because it was different. I do, however, agree that playing as Jack was kind of lame as he is not as awesome as John. I wish they would have made us appreciate Jack a little more with some extra missions to show his growth and put his voice through puberty. Also, the revenge mission was too easy. I wish Jack was forced with taking out many of the officers, looting their safes, eliminating the second in command guy to finally get to the top dog. This would have been the perfect ending.

Oh man, it shouldn’t end like this. I had a 22-bullet gun, while Marston picks up the f—ing six-shooter.

Above someone commented that john should chase down Ross to black water and killed him and become mayor or sheriff. And his family would be safe. Well i do thank you for providing a ending instead of just stating the ending suck but i dont think if you kill a man who works for the goverment and a bunch of U.S soldies they simply make you mayor and leave you alone. And to every one who says there should be an alternate nice/happy ending, i have this to say things dont always turn out happy i know the creature could have just pulled shit out there ass to make a happy ending, but just cause its a video game and you can do what ever you want dousnt mean its a good idea to if john sprouted wings flew to his family carried them to heaven and then become god and struck ross with lighting it would be a happier ending but i wouldnt make a lick of scene an in order to have a good ending to a realistic story it have to be realistic.

Ending would have been better if Ross had 6 fingers on each hand…

thank you for making this i really didnt like the ending of the game and was actually
upset i finished the game last night and cant wait to see the real ending

Jack, Uncle and Abigail die. John is overwrought and drinks until he passes out, gets found by Bonnie then they leave the US and live in Mexico. John recovers and goes for red dead revenge. Hunts down Ross and his posse, kills everyone who saw John escape, leaving no evidence of John’s existance. Game ends with John tending to the ranch, fucking Bonnie and all in all having a whale of a time in Mexico.

Alright.. I spent around 21 hours total on the game.. And beat it.. I was honestly pissed when John was killed.. Playing for almost a full day, time wise, and then having the guy you built the rep for whacked just like that? Now I’m not saying that he should’ve just walked out scotch free.. But not death.. The whole, “You build your fame and honor, and different reactions will happen” doesn’t even come into play for these situations.. There was very few missions where you got to make a choice.. The game had a lot of flaws, but I kept playing.. Mainly because of the fact that I WANTED to just finish the game.. I did love it, because it’s a free roaming western (who the hell wouldn’t love that?) and LOOKED like it was going to have an RPG element to it.. Granted, you could “level” your weapons and horses up, but I used almost the same weapons through the whole game, and got the best horse out of the possible 3 within an hour of playing it..

Now for the ending, there should have been a way for a “choice”, per say, on the outcome.. If you’re a famed and honorable man.. You live out your life after dealing with Ross some way or another.. Neutral, you have a hell of a gun battle and you could die, or live, lose your family, basically that would be the “up in the air” part.. Dishonorable, you get your shit cleaned.. And the fame would come into play with how many people would come to your aide.. Like, Bonnie and the gang help you out, the Army help you out and turn on Ross, or even them silly “Meh-hee-cans” come to raise some hell.. Just irritating is all it was..

Then when the “real” ending came and Jack whacks Ross (That’s what she said moment of the day) it redeemed itself.. Putting the true Redemption into it.. However, when Jack finds Ross and just cleans house.. It was anti climactic.. Satisfying, but WAY to easy.. You spend all this time killing other men, and find the “final” boss and you kill him with only 3 placed shots in the stand off? Kinda bland..

But as for a sequel.. Go back a few years.. Play Red Dead Revolver, and there ya go.. Now we need a prequel for Red Dead Redemption, maybe play as Dutch? A younger Dutch, since we know what happens in the end..

Overall, great game, had a lot of glitchy problems while I was playing (people sitting wrong at the tables, on chairs, falling through the ground forever, dead while standing up, horse randomly taking a turn for the cliffs [damnit] and a few others).. To much time spent in Mexico, mainly because there is so much Spanish being spoken that I didn’t understand what they were saying the whole time (I may have missed something to where you could understand it? Besides learning the language.. ha) and it seeming like Rockstar just wanted the ending to be done with, in a way that you go, find Ross, and bam.. You kill him.. I’d give it a solid 8/10 or 8.7/10 overall.. It’s a great play, not a buy, and a good change of pace from other games..

What i wished is john lived but since he didn’t i wished that Jack kept the farm alive because in the mission where they buy the cattle John told him when he dies maybe he could make a better farm.And he didn’t have enough mission with his family hes there for like 2 days then he dies. It’s like give his some time with his family… god!

@ Danny
WRONG! READ DEAD REDEMPTION IS NOT A PREQUEL TO REVOLVER AT ALL, they are completely different characters with completely different stories, in revolver you play as red h… (forgot name) NOT RELATED TO THE MARSTONS AT ALL. and revolver is set BEFORE redemption, SO HOW THE FUCK CAN IT BE A PREQUEL, so in fact YOU ARE STUPID!

I actually would like to say that this has been THE FIRST video game with a sad ending. :( i turned on all cheats and killed everyone in blackwater with jack lookin for deputy lol

everyone who hated the ending sign the petition

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savejohnmarston/

In my personal opiniion, Red Dead Redemption was one of the best games i’ve ever played. It had an epic plot. It had charming, sophisticated characters. It’s graphics were mind-blowing. But of course, with every game in existence, there is always one fault that can make of break the game.

In the case of Red Dead Redemption, the fault is probably the most important thing in any game. THE ENDING. I played the game for hours on end, both addicted and gripped to it. But of course, when i reached the end, i thought that maybe the game would make you think John Marston was going to die, but at the last moment (just as he is about to step out of the barn) something would happen that would turn the tables around, somehow allowing John to live. And if such an ending were to exist, it would have made that game just about flawless in every way possible.

But of course, the obvious happened and John Marston simply walked out, attempted to shoot one or two guys, but was killed. Jack and his mother bury him, as sad music plays. Suddenly we see another grave next to John’s. The grave is that of his wife (whose name i forget) who died a few years after him. And then we see Jack dressed like his father did and baically just walks away. The End.

Maybe it’s just me, but that ending couldn’t have been more rushed. I personally expect a story so dense and intricate to end with a bang. Something to be remembered. But this was the exact opposite. I mean, sure we got an after-mission to officially mark the end, but to be honest, that changes nothing.

You see, after John meets his end and his son basically becomes him reborn, what really changes? NOTHING. After the disappointment of the ending had setttled in and i discovered I was forced to play as Jack, i almost instictively went to Blackwater, to see if any changes had been made (after alll, it had been about five years since I’d last been there in the place of John Marston) but i sadly found that it’s just as I’d left it. Everywhere and everything is seemingly untouched. I even went back to the main house the family used to live in. The only change was that it was horribly abandoned. It was somehow creepy… Anyway, the house’s condition is EXACTLY the same as it was five years before. At first i assumed that Jack had looked after the house over the past few years, but i even found his mother’s pot STILL cooking on the stove (the one that she is seen cooking at, before John steals a bit of it’s contents)!!

So, overall, I’d rate the game itself an absolute 10/10, but if i had to rate the ending, I’d give it a 2/10. Sure, it had an averagely entertaining revenge mission (‘Remember My Family’) but it makes no logical sense whatsoever and is ridddled with countless flaws and contradictions.

Thanks for those of you who read my probably brutal comment (sorry! I was just telling the truth!) and I hope that some of you agree with me on the ending of Red Dead Redemption. Thanks! :)

The ending was great. This is more than a game, this well written story, a masterpiece. Romeo and Julliet also had the protagonist died, it is still remembered as one greatest story. First Mafia game also dead, and it rocks. I don’t say that the story has to be tragedy to be great, but it fits perfectly with all piece of the story here, it will be to cheesy and unrealistic if John not dead. This game depict the realism of what was back then in US, while so many ‘legendary’ cowboys die by guns, not old ages. Billy the kid, wild bill hitchcock, you name it.

They should have allowed you to choose your ending. First the way it happened where john dies and his family lives. an alternate ending where you go out the back and run but the military kills your son and wife before you can do anything. at least you’d have a choice on what happened. then jack would have followed in his fathers footsteps out of honor.

For the stranger task remeber my family they should of shown im more detail why they killed john or there should of been two choices like on the first gta

THE GAME IS VERY GOOD, GREAT GAMEPLAY AND EVERYTHING, ALTHOUGH ITS VERY SHORT!! I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO END THERE, I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE MUCH MORE MISSIONS..

after john died i remembered i saved before the last mission so i turned it off to play as john and finish the other things first. but it was done.
im replaying the game but will not do the final mission till its the last thing from 100% completion

So all the poeple who dont understand what the game is trying to potray is that a great man would sacrafice there life to save there family and to all the people who said they could destroy the 15 guys that is illogicle because shure john killed almost the entire mexican army it was know without the help of the other comanions in that game you dont face 15 enemys with shot gus and pistols all aimed at you in close range there i know way anbody could take all of them then the more that would keep coming even if john got away where ever he went he would be in that situation of constant betrail and dont forget john has a huge bounty on his head the would not have lasted a week before more oeple came and killed him so for all the people who where so ignorant and cant see why any great man would do this for his family than you did not see the deeper concep of the story during the whole game there was this felling that this cannot turn out well in the end even after he is safe with his family for a few days it just seemed like he didnt belong there and I think that even john could see that he didnt belong in a normal society there for could never live happily with this family after the events that have happend to him and i do agree that jack is allitle less than i expected i think he turned out worsse than his father and is more violent if not shown on the out side but on the end

it is a nice ending… btw i killed ross wife and brother ,,yeah i know who didnt

i loved this game, my only downside is that after i killed ross and the credis rolled i was still playing as jack and the game hadn’t ended.
i believe that if the game was designed to allow john to live and to make sure that jack didn’t follow in his footsteps and made a proper living for himself, then that would have been redemption, cause he made a complete 180 of his life and may sure his boy didn’t become a killer.
for anyone how is interested Rockstar should make two more games for the series RD Revival, a prequel that you play as john and do as much damaged as possible and a sequel were you star as jack.

There 2 things you can do to stay alive
1
Use the invincibilty cheat
2
And use the dead eye to take out the 3 secret agents
And the 2 people on horse so they don’t chase the wife

Finished the game last night and it has occupied my mind all morning.

My thoughts, and its important to say that I fully go with the ending, is that I still had things left that I/John Marsden wanted to do. I don’t just mean missions to finish but little things like buying a fast horse, fixing the ranch, going out mountain climbing in that cool new part of the map, drinking in Thieves Landing etc.

All of these things were stashed in a mental tick list and filed with a happy outcome that one day I will retire after completing the game. Robbed of this is a hard pill to swallow as it is an allegory for our own lives.

And realism was a massive part of the delivery of the game; no happy ending in life.

Few games have conjured up anything close to this level of emotional intelligence!!

Thank you Rockstar!

well lets hope jack marstens kids don’t look like american cowboy asians!I mean playing as a latino wouldve been a exciting ending or even the sherrif from the mcfarlens farm couldve rode on in shot everyone and in the process your dog got shot your son fell off a horse got parralized and john marsten and his wife ditch the kid ,get a latino kid as there new son and lived alone and away from all those retarded cowboys who can’t swim!

Everything just seemed too perfect when the missions with Jack and Abagail started. I just kept waiting for the scene where John comes home to see his wife and kid hanging from nooses and totally loses his mind.

Yeah I was pissed off with the ending. I found Jack to be a bit annoying, I was kind of hoping that the bear would eat him. John was awesome one of my favourite game characters and for us to complete all these missions and for him to be killed abruptly at the end is just not right. Then to have to get Jack to kill Ross and the game to finish just after that was stupid and pointless. Wonderful game but the ending kind of ruined it for me, i’ll find it hard to play it all over again or even getting more than my 79%.

great game , bit glitchy .ending? bit sad alright but its were the game was going ´ old west is dying´ etc etc top game though

I think that 2-3 missions before the final one were showing us Jack,this “geek”,and i think it ment that John saw it too(in mission where jack went hunting alone),he was sure that if he’ll die his son wouldnt become a person like him and wouldnt try to revenge,but Jack did.
I was schocked at the end of the game…waiting for the second part!

Why did Kojima replace Snake with Raiden? To make you appreciate Snake more, especially while you run along trying to keep up with him at the very end; meanwhile wishing you could be cool as Snake. Why was Raiden made to be so badass in MGS4? To make Snake look even more old and decrepit, meanwhile wishing you could do the cool stuff Raiden was pulling off. Now Raiden has his own game where you can.

Same idea applies: you just spent 20-30 hours becoming emotionally invested in a character only to see him get killed off and replaced with another. Just like with Raiden, the general public is outraged… Mission completed. Rockstar just martyred John and you appreciate him and maybe even took him for granted before he was shot up and replaced. These people saying the ending sucked only validates the good job they did of developing him. People are sad that he’s dead. Isn’t that the point of death? To be upset? If John Marston were such a shitty character, would anyone care that he died? Aerith died, same reaction. Or, even more similar, Tony Montana died too. But now the idea of keeping those two alive seems utterly ridiculous.

Well I got sad at the end. I usually always do when I beat games, like halo, or destroy all humans. Cause there might not be another game after it. But I’m sure there will be one cause they make a shitload of money off just the game not even the DLC but for a sequel make a game about when john Dutch Abigail and the other guys rode in a gang. That should would be great. And jacks not the coolest guy cause he is depressed. He lost his family. He loves his father but yet hates him for making him a gunslinger. Abigail was a prostitute…. Yeah….. Johns mom was a ho too. She’s hot though and also in another red dead I’d like to see the scarlet lady or what ever her name is and more of that strange guy who’s a accountant . There ya go

Here’s how I would have liked the ending to have been:

Uncle and Abigail get killed in the shootout at Beecher’s Hope. John and Jack escape to Mexico and join up with Landon Ricketts. In the meanwhile, Edgar Ross finds himself a subject to investigation for corruption, and now he embarks on the personal vendetta against John, Jack and Landon to the point that he’ll stop at nothing to kill the Marstons and Ricketts in hope that it would redeem him in the eyes of the government. Ross and his agents raid MacFarlane’s Ranch under accusation that they’re harboring or aiding/abetting John Marston. In the shootout, Drew MacFarlane sends Amos to find John Marston and warn him that Ross is onto him before he gets killed. Bonnie is now captured by Ross and held hostage at the Ranch. In the meanwhile, Amos reaches Chuparosa and tells John, Jack and Landon what happened.

A huge battle takes place at MacFarlane’s Ranch. John, Jack, Landon and Amos fight their way to rescue Bonnie only to find that Ross had taken her to Beecher’s Hope to lure John out. Landon gets killed in the shootout. At MacFarlane’s Ranch just immediately following the battle, they’re joined by Marshall Leigh Johnson and his posse who were sent by the government to take out Ross and his band of rogue lawmen and restore the law.

They ride out Beecher’s Hope and the final showdown takes place over there. The posse takes down Ross’ gang with John finding Ross holed up inside the house holding Bonnie hostage. John tells him to let her go and challenges him to a duel. Ross gets taken out in the duel. In the meanwhile, the Cavalry is coming up over the hill and while John, and Jack prepare for yet another showdown with the military, Leigh Johnson tells him they are late, but were coming to help him take down Ross, and that he indeed gets his life back.

In the final scene, John, Bonnie and Jack ride off into the sunset.

That would have been my preferred ending.

Awesome ending if you want a happy nothing bad can ever happen to the main person in the story ending then stick to farie tales

oh, and p.s ,I agree with Matt..

my only wish was that the honor points would somehow influence the ending… though that may not be the case im satisfied with the ending… like gta 4 the ending always sends an emotional chill down your spine and reminding u once again the reality of the world and that is crime does not pay… no matter how u try sometimes, righting the wrong does not erase the wrong u have done if that makes any sense.

I don’t get this whole “keep John alive so you can do a sequel” nonsense.

That’s not Rockstar’s style at all.

In every GTA, you play as a different lead character. Carl Johnson from San Andreas lived… did that mean he had to star in GTA4?

They can EASILY continue the Red Dead saga without John Marston. In fact, all of these comments about “saving” John Marston is EXACTLY why the ending was so perfect. They spent so much time making you care about a character and actually feel for a character, that when he died it actually bothered people.

That’s storytelling 101 right there, people… make people love your lead character, and you’ve done a perfect job of storytelling.

As other have said… Red Dead Redemption is actually Red Dead 2. The Marstons had nothing to do with Red Dead Revolver. And if there’s a Red Dead 3, the Marstons will almost certainly not be in that game, as well. Rockstar NEVER carries over storylines… it’s the best way to kill a story, by overusing it.

They will come up with a new character. He may not be as incredible as John Marston was. But John Marston was a killer, and a legacy cowboy. For him to continue living, settle down and do something tame like running a ranch or becoming a politician would make him boring. Instead, he went out in a blaze of glory, doing all he could to protect the family he worked to hard to reclaim.

Kudos to Rockstar. The greatest story that’s ever been told in a video game, topped up with a climax ending that shocked people and showed the world exactly how good the storytelling actually was.

Also, judging by the HUGE success of this game (I myself just picked it up again to replay it) I could see RockStar producing a mini game prequel (much like The Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony from GTA4)that portrays John in his early stage. Maybe you “court” Abigail? I think with this game, RockStar has a limitless amount of possibilites. They could always make a game set back further in time (early to mid 1800s). I wouldn’ expect them to divulge into WWI style games though, that’s pretty much been done to death.

It was the perfect ending for those who have a sense of story telling. There was no way that a man like John Marston could live a peaceful rest of his life. Jack hunting down Ross to fulfill his/our need for revenge is perfect because we all wanted that bastard to pay. After it’s done you’re still left feeling empty. Killing Ross doesn’t make the anger and sadness go away. Kind of like in Braveheart when he kills the guy that killed his wife.

They need to make a part 2 to this game it would make it alot better but anyways loved the game great graphics and everything made me feel like i was in the old wild west.

Actually I was waiting for John to bang the mcfarlane chick at her ranch. She wanted some marston in her.

The end was a pile of junk, garabge, trash, and bullsh1t. SERIOUSLY, we didnt know much about that son of a whore Jack. And when we met that asswipe at the farm that idiot, he was some cheeky ass bastard, wish John pulled his high power pistol on him and shot him in the face like how Nastas got it. The dude is covered in weapons, dynamite, molotovs, pistols and revovlers, semi-auto shotguns, and military issue rifles and snipers, but he goes out there and pulls out a pistol, wtf? you can clear them easy, just toss a stick of dynamite. For that John Marston you’re a punk, and Jack you’re a jackass. When you get that stranger mission going for Edgar. I hogtied his wife and burned her alive and shot her in the head 3 times, the same goes for his brother toast with a couple of holes in his head.

Granted, I agree with the whole thing about the west dying and John was a symbol of it. Yeah okay, but we dont need John to be in the next red dead. The problem is, Jack Marston is a b1tch, I’d rather control Abigail Marston than that stupid ass cunt. His stupid ass goatee, and trying hard to be his father, what happened to writing you cum guzzling ass munching pig that masterbates in his own sweat! God damn Jack Marston, I pray you go down with the West, I actually wish I lost the duel to Edgar Ross, so that Jack could die and thats it. Rockstar could’ve atleast released an open ending depending on what you do in the final moments of the game or you’re decisions in the story, when red dead gave me a decision to do something or not, I thought it would impact the games story but hell no it doesn’t. Rockstar you really have Hacked me off, if this was a movie great ending but for a video game, I dont feel like controling that big nosed, goatee growing, long haired homosexual. John actually looked rough with long hair, he just looks like a male prostitute, just like his mother. Go write a book and not hutn bandits you stupid ass fool I hate you JACK!

Maybe people need help with choosing the right system, or maybe you need the p90x system right away, whatever it is, you will find it worth dinmomnidzyc.

Why all the bitching? The ending was a shocker and so many developers fail to make good endings after brilliant stories. That’s a fact. Yeah Jack isn’t as good as John but I don’t think he’s meant to be. The idea is, as far as I’m concerned, to have done everything except Jack’s one stranger mission by the time you get to the last mission. You have no real reason to be endeared to Jack as you were meant to with John.
The ending was brilliant and completely out of the blue. I was expecting your usual GTA against all odds task. Find some cover and kill em all! Reunite with your family and ride off into the sunset for a quiet life elsewhere. But this way was brilliant. I say well done Rockstar for a a thought provoking and emotional ending. I consider myself pretty desensitised but when John said goodbye to his family I felt that and when he was gasping for air I felt that too. Awesome stuff!

the ending was stupide becase jack did what john died to prvent

There is no Redemption.

I’m sorry, but the ending was absolutely b.s.
Have I ever seen a western? Hmmm.. which one is the one that was 50 hours long and you had control over the main character??

The only thing I saw from this was that there’s no point in reformation. Why should anyone reform when no matter what you do (Legendary Fame, Heroic Honor) you’re screwed if you stole from a few banks?? Now we hear that Marston had a “dark past” but I don’t recall him ever saying he did evil, mostly that he was there when it happened… I find it pathetic really and “forced”, as all of a sudden a guy who was basically under witness protection for turning states evidence, has the Feds roll up Ruby-ridge style? Bull.

As far as I’m concerned, John lives to a ripe old age with his wife, and that pathetic and waste of an ending,as well as the Undead nightmare, are the fantasies dreamed up in the mind of Jack from reading it in a book… Otherwise I’d just take Jack on a killing spree and take out every cop/fed/clerk I could find… though I might do that anyway, thank god I have a save game before the last Dutch mission….

now i restarted it on a different profile

i hate whining little p*ssy’s who b*tch about everything somebody else invented (namely video games)…why don’t you try and make a game yourself…come up with a story…write the story..learn programming and graphics programming…create a graphics engine…then, build the game yourself…you can have whatever ending you like then. obviously rockstar wanted john dead..made sense…if you didn’t like it then sell your fucking copy…i don’t think any of you could do any better…just a bunch of fucking trolls on a video game site bitching about something they wouldn’t ever in a hells year be able to actually pull off themselves. this is just about what every gaming site has come to…trolls in their parents basements crying about what the devs should have done to suit their needs…grow up and let the devs create the game to their taste with their artistic dreams…this is what these guys went to school to do with their lives…code your own fucking game and let the devs alone…devs are pushed more and more these days by companies b/c of people like you who threaten to boycott knowing good and god damn well that they’ll buy every last thing that comes out from these guys…we’re losing the artistic imaginative side of gaming b/c company’s are scared of being boycotted…fuck what you want…if you want it your way become a dev…psn ConfirmedChaos

PS @CHAOS, you do understand that whiny little sissified people who post on games forums, ulimatly da have a say. If i was (and im waaaaay not) a developer, id be reading these things daily to help improve the next game, so I say, whiny little sissies keep on whinnin, cause if its a game i like, imma play it regardless what you think, but thanks fopr your imput.

loved the ending shot dudes wife shot his brother then shot the dude that killed my dad then road around killing ever law men i could find loads of fun

i just dont understand y bill didnt want help from jhon oh and dont complete flowers for a lady

im 8 rdr was the coolest of all bestest game even than fallot 3

damn! i didn’t know that! gotta get my RDR back out again. for closure!

Danny you are an absolute moron, go and eat a bowl of dick. Didnt your momma tell you not to speak if you don’t know what the hell your talking about. RDR is loosely based on Red dead revolver. Red dead redemption is epic, the story is epic, the characters are epic (maybe jack is a bit whiny they should have give him a better voice) the gameplay is epic and the ending is epic. if you cant handle a good ending and are whining about how bad it is why dont you stfu and enjoy it the way it is meant to be. EPIC!

I think the next game should take place in his years in a gang.

Horrible ending. Would be good if it were a movie, but in an open world/GTA type game where you continue to play after finishing the story missions, it’s horrible. Jack SUCKS, I can’t stand playing as him. Anyone will pale in comparison to John, but Jack’s has a pussy ass voice and looks kinda retarded. And all throughout the game you’re looking forward to finishing everything and getting 100% completion with John, not some 19 year old pussy. I was extremely disappointed by the ending. Again, this is a game, not a fucking movie, pull your heads out of your asses Rockstar. You really ruined the game by killing off john. Now I have no desire to keep playing or get 100% completion, it’s not even fun anymore.

If you ever pull anything like this again, I swear I’ll never buy another Rockstar game again. You owe me $40

well the last enemy that shall be destroyed symbolizes the end of Dutch’s gang, John killed Javier, Bill, and Dutch, the last person in that gang was John. So the Gov’t Agents went after John, the last enemy of the agents and destroyed him, therefore the last enemy that shall be destroyed was John Marston

I liked the end. It was like playing an actual movie. I’ve never played a game that made me feel like I was actually playing movie that wasn’t based off a movie. I also liked how it would indicate that days/weeks would pass between parts for the strangers’ quests. Back then, it would’ve taken a day maybe even more to get between towns. It was not like nowadays where we jump in the automobile and go from L.A to Vagas in not even half a day. And Jack? He’s like a diamond in the rough! Either he’ll get wacked, or he’ll get toughened up and become a badass like his pa. Or maybe he’ll have son and name him Sue.

I love the game and I loved the ending.but they could have made Jack much less annoying and ugly

The first time I played he freaken died and then I downloaded some cheats and do y’all no what happen those F’ers made him die his son is ok but I just hate that he had to die I was so mad I felt like the guy on silver lineings playbook when he got mad about the girl dieing in the end of a book He was reading and chunked the book out the window and woke his parents up at 3:00 in the morning

I know its just a game and all but just got really attached to him when I downloaded those cheats I was like hell yea lets see if those basterds kill me now but I just have to say those cheats did help like I was doing a mission in Mexico well when I was shooting a bunch of people but oh well no use in crying over it I guess because it’s just a game I seriesly could have done a lot better on the end yea I played the first time when Jack was at his familys grave yard I called my and when I made the horse go faster I was like what the heck is that is that his voice this was disappointing it sounded like a little girl talking he’s like 18 19 his voice should be deep by now but I aggrie with some of yall about the part where he sacrificed hes self to save his family

I really love the game. But I would like Rockstar to have Gold mining and Gold panning sheriff Job farming etc in it for the more real feeling . I hope it will come a game where you can live the wild west life.. Ehum. Psst check out the plans for frontier1859 on the Internet. Its just that they seem to look for funds for more than 10 years now ..
