That Ending Was Devastating For Me - Tumblr Posts

As someone who did played RDR1 way back in 2014, long before there was even a RDR2 i do care about John, but i do care much more about Jack also.

At that time we know little about him and the rest of the gang, the only informations that we had was spoken by John, Dutch, Javier and Bill and it all seems that the gang pretty much hated John, Bill and Dutch being the prime examples and we also cared about John as a character because he was forced to do something that he clearly had no say in it, as it was forced by the BoI (Bureau of Investigation) into capturing his former members, the ending of RDR1 at that time was far more emotional and far more devastating for a lot of people, because it wasn't expected that John would have died.

Also Red Dead Redemption 1 was a game that it had more impact and more technological achievements then RDR2, for it's era it was the cutting edge of videogame media and the first time that western become a massive appeal in decades and outside of the movie industry.

So question for rdr1 fans

Are y’all attached to John?

Cause idk if me playing rdr2 first messed with my ability to care about John.

Like going off the ham ignore the rdr2 John done bad things. Hunts down Dutch and gang. Like Javier mission felt the longest ngl. Then we finally see Jack and Abgial expect that’s very short getting to know them. I wouldn’t care about them tbh. John died being gun down by government whom he helped.

Hm maybe I’m being too hard on game that came out and writing wasn’t there. But again ignoring the second game I feel there could’ve been more emotional wise 🤷🏽‍♀️
