It may seem from the outset that Mario is the good guy as he is on his way to save his girlfriend. However, it is revealed that Donkey Kong stole the girlfriend as revenge for Mario abusing him. We can thank Mario’s animal mistreatment for turning an NPC into one of the most popular video game characters of all t
He decided to follow his father’s path of criminal activity, rather than better himself as his mother probably would have wanted for him. It leaves fans questioning his decision-making skills and a need to know more about his final decision to join a band of outl
Everyone knows that Skyrim has its fair share of mysterious and odd happenings, especially when it comes to NPCs. This entry reveals a mix of intrigue, an extramarital affair, and vampirism (what a combination!). In Skyrim , the main character can visit a ghost girl by the name of He
This name also belongs to the fourth game’s infamous serial killer. Abused as a child, Low went on to murder his father, brother, and mother before he began his murderous spree in Liberty City. No wonder GTA V’s Low wanted to immediately “clarify” the connection to all who as
Similar to Jack Marston taking over his father’s role in the first game, John Marston becomes _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s playable character and protagonist once Arthur Morgan dies. With two fairly lengthy chapters to play through, John makes for an excellent bookend to a great g
Few Open world games rumors have taken the approach Red Dead Redemption 2 has. With the first game being a smash hit, it’s hard to follow up with a game that relates and continues to further the story. Yet that is exactly what Rockstar did here. John Marston was already one of the most complete characters in gaming history, and Red Dead Redemption 2 gave players so much more backstory and reasoning for the events of the first g
While it looks as if her father burned down the family home to be with a lover, it is instead revealed that Helgi and her mother were done away with by his mistress, Alva. Throw in a sympathetic vampire, and you have one weird and sad story — pretty par for the course for Skyr
We wanted to run and have the freedom to charge from one place to the next without silly restrictions. It held us back as players and we will forever wonder why we’re unable to run with Arthur Morgan all the way to the donation
Accompanied by Javier Escuella, Arthur finds John close to death and sporting a few new scars. A series of wolf attacks are the cause and finally, the origin of John’s scars are revealed. As Arthur begins to help John out of his snowy predicament, John says this quote in a manner of classic Marston sarc
John seemed down and out, working as a farmhand, family recently left, and struggling to make any money. During one specific argument, Abigail mentions Beecher’s Hope in passing not even necessarily serious about it, just the fact they needed their own place. After Abigail and Jack leave John at Pronghorn Ranch he goes above and beyond to show that he was listening, and purchases Beecher’s Hope with the help of Mr. Ge
Unfortunately, it actually contradicts rather important information from the first game where John claimed he hadn’t seen Dutch since he left the game. Clearly, this mission takes place long after that fact. Either way, it’s an interesting narrative beat even if it doesn’t make sense. Plus, it directly ties itself into the first game once the credits are thro
Arthur’s fate is a rather tragic one. Along with contracting an incredibly fatal disease, his relationship with Dutch deteriorates as well over the course of the game. His father figure, Dutch is a man Arthur clearly looks up to. At least initially. The longer _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ goes on, the worse their relationship beco
It perhaps goes without saying considering John never once mentions him in the first game, but Arthur Morgan does not survive the events of _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ . This is always something to be mindful of with a prequel, but it isn’t as if Arthur couldn’t have survived. It wouldn’t have made for as compelling a narrative, but it could have wor
Mary was fairly predictable and they had discussed where they were to run off to, so it can be assumed he could have found her if he wanted to. Instead, he decided to forego the love of his life and stay with the gang inst
To be fair, this is a spoiler that gets brought up rather often in the first game on account of _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ being a prequel. What isn’t mentioned in the first game, however, is the fact that Dutch left John to die _ twice _ . The first time was the bank heist, the second was the second game’s final mission, “Red Dead Redempti
By the end of the game, Arthur is actively undermining Dutch to the point that his former benefactor outright tries to have him killed in the final mission. Dutch’s fading sanity is not a ship Arthur wants to sink on and he does everything he can to protect the Marston family from Dutch’s ma
