I remember being super, super stoked when I first heard about Rockstar making it. I really liked Red Dead Revolver and wished for a western version of GTA and we got it.
I actually felt something when John dies. That's a gaming moment that sticks with you. It's made even better, or sadder, after playing RDR2. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly I didn't really feel much when John died. I don't think I really connected with him very much aside an amusing macho avatar to kill stuff with. What I really connected with was the landscape, the vibe of the world. There are locations that have really stuck with me, and certain views that, at the time, were pretty beautiful to see.
Arthur though... probably my favorite video game protagonist. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

You know it's funny, I loved this game and for years I regarded it as being one of my absolute favorite games of all time. Then RDR2 came out and completely outclassed it in every possible way. I played RDR1 immediately after beating RDR2 and so much of what I loved about it just wasn't impressive anymore. Even the writing really sucks in comparison. Maybe it's just a testament to how much I enjoyed RDR2.

and it's sad to know that that tragic kinda life didn't end with John.
Jack was pulled into it because of Edgar Ross' treachery, and we don't know how he'll turn out, but it's most likely that he won't be having a happy ending. --- b-bb-box ... Copied to Clipboard!

John's ending gets me even worse than Arthur's, depending on my mood. Really loved John in that one. Kinda annoyed they made him a drooling idiot in RDR2.
Jack's mission at the end of 1 is such a badass ending at least. ... Copied to Clipboard!

But in RDR2 he's surrounded by smarter people so it's a lot more noticeable. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

John still had few good years at least so it wasn't all in vain. It was going after
I'd be cool with a Jack game (just make him less annoying) set in the 20s/30s. Instead of an outlaw cowboy, he's a down on his luck WW1 veteran and a depression era bank robber like John Dillinger or Pretty Boy Floyd who somehow gets embroiled in a Irish/Italian gang war. Have a bunch of little county towns with a big Chicago stand in. Think something along the lines of Boardwalk Empire. He'd be Jimmy or more so Richard essentially. eston posted...

Maybe it's just a testament to how much I enjoyed RDR2. I tried replaying 1 and as much as I still love it in its own way, 2 did blow it away and I couldn't get into the RD1 groove again. I will watch clips of the story every now and again, it's no RDR2, but it's still pretty good. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I felt so lucky to have been completely blind about this game up until like two weeks before it came out. If I had known about it longer that wait would've been agonizing...wasn't so lucky with GTA5 and RDR2 though.

I would end up buying two copies of that game. The first time I rage quit and snapped the disc in two.

thanks.
but tbf, outside of story missions, I didn't really pay attention to John, so idk if there might be some side stuff that might build on that stuff. --- b-bb-box ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also I just remembered that I met the guy who plays John at Planet Comic Con last year. Super nice guy. Also met the guy who plays Arthur and he was great too.

John is well-spoken bordering on eloquent in the first game. He's wise tooWell spoken maybe but still dumb, threatening to kill everybody who pissed him off all the time. If he was truly wise he wouldn't have worked for people who were obviously going to betray him in Mexico. Right now I legitimately can't think of a single wise thing he did in RDR. Of course, something should be said that in RDR1 John is constantly trying to be better than he is. He wants to be a good and wise man, and tries his hardest to be so for the sake of his family. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!
