10 Games That Were Not Afraid To Kill Off Their Main Character

Going into Red Dead Redemption 2 fans understood that this was Arthur Morgan's story, but John Marston would play a key role in the events. When Arthur's journey ends most people were caught off guard at the reveal of the Open World game walkthrough's Epilogue that had players controlling John up until the events of the first game. Players can use the Epilogue to travel around and discover what the character's from the games main narrative has been up to. GTA VI including an Epilogue is unlikely but would be a welcome surprise to m


Conversely, as Arthur's illness got worse and worse, he began to question everything he previously believed in, including how he had treated John over the years. John Marston had once abandoned him and the gang, an action which Arthur previously thought was an unforgivable sin, but as his own deteriorating health started to mirror Dutch's rapidly sliding mental condition he began to wonder if John may have had the right idea all along. One of the last actions Arthur takes before succumbing to death is one which ensures that John Marston, his wife Abigail, and their son Jack all get away safely, and this act of kindness clearly left an impression on John, just as John's initial abandonment left an impression on Art


A criticism often levied at the narrative of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that Micah's intentions are obvious from the beginning. The argument is that it feels like heavy-handed foreshadowing that leaves little to no surprise for the story's climax. Counterarguments hold on the idea that Micah feels much more realistic as a character because he's so obvious in his intentions to Arthur. It helps showcase that greed will often supersede loyalty if the circumstances fit. Micah isn't meant to trick Arthur, he's meant to show how easily Dutch could be manipula


On the way home from running errands in preparation for the evening’s festivities, "Where I Belong" by Simple Plan & State Champs (featuring We The Kings) came on. I had heard the song in passing before, but had never really paid attention to the lyrics - which speak of not being perfect, but still doing your best while living in the moment. The first playthrough had me listening to the lyrics and applying them to every facet of my life as Declan’s Dad. The second and third playthroughs had me driving while full-on adult sobbing. By the time I pulled into my driveway, I was blasting the song from my speakers louder than anything I had jammed bef


Micah never once takes into consideration anyone around him and is simply hellbent on getting his stuff back at any cost. This is the first of many events that help showcase where Arthur falls in the spectrum of criminals who are completely evil and those just trying to make a life for themsel


If you're planning on navigating the confined and heavily populated areas of whatever urban metropolis GTA VI takes place in on horseback, you better think twice. One reason people love GTA is that you get to drive cars you could never in real-life, whether that be a high-end sports car or a garbage tr


Players who decide to go after much larger animals like Elk, Boar, or even Bears will find themselves at a severe disadvantage if they try to use the bow or varmint rifle though. For larger animals, players will probably want to use a scoped rifle. It will allow them to pick off these creatures from great distances before they can run away. It is imperative that the correct weapon is used for each hunt to ensure that the meat and hide are in the best condition possi


It was overwhelming, to say the least, and it got to the point where I felt like I was failing in all aspects of my life, including my relationship with gaming (professional or otherwise.) But the worst part was feeling like I was failing my son and his mot


In a bit of a twist, the main character dies at the beginning of the game. When the Normandy explodes, Shepherd is sent spiraling into space. His helmet malfunctions and he dies alone, floating in space. The good thing is that there is a whole game to p


Players can also sell any pelts or meat that they acquire for some quick cash at local stores. This is actually a great way to earn money early on in the game, which in turn will allow Arthur to purchase better weapons or upgrade the gang's camp. Pelts can also be used for personal upgrades for Arthur as w

It would be neat if they included a rideable horse as a nod to the Red Dead Redemption franchise, but don't hold your breath. The closest thing you'll likely get is seeing the horsepower on the cars you'll be stealing and ultimately wreck


My father only provided me the framework for knowing what NOT to do, like, NOT calling my potential future son a "bad boy" for crying while being sick. NOT dropping my potential future son off at his aunt’s house when I’m supposed to be spending the weekend with him. NOT having an entire other family with children, and failing to wish my potential future son a happy birthday every single y
