Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
Major spoilers ahead.....You have been warned....
Ok the whole simple plot of the original Read Dead Redemption is the Law is holding John's family hostage and to get them back he has to hunt down some of his own former gang members. I do not have a real problem with that part of the story. The major problem I have is WHO John has to hunt down. The issue I have is John's Mission is to hunt down some of the weakest members of the Van Der Linde gang. Lets take a look at the main characters John has to hunt. Also keep in mind this game takes place 12-13 years after RDR2. Dutch and majority of the gang are old as shit by now. Hell back in the early 20th century if you were in your mid 40's you were an old man.
1. Bill Williamson: He was the fuck up of the Van Der Linde gang. Dutch use to talk down to him like his bitch and wasn't really respected. On some of the most important missions they chose to leave Bill on the Sideline. He's a loud mouth and pretty stupid. It's ridiculous how long it took in the origianl game to kill this idiot.
2. Javier Escuela - While a capable guy was just a minor character in RDR2. I think I remember maybe 1 or 2 missions where he was a focus. Again he wasn't really a bad ass and was just kind of story filler. Strong Silent Type but to be honest I never seen anything in RDR2 to say Javier was some great figher or anyting.
3. Dutch Van Der Linde: Lets not forget that Dutch was losing his shit near the end of Red Dead Redemption 2. He also old by the time Read Dead Redemption pops around. (late 50's) Anyone who plays sports will tell you the body starts to fall apart in your mid 30's and sometimes earlier. So now Dutch is this crazed old Fanatic that becomes the main villian of RDR.
To Sum it up: John has to go hunt 2 old men and not really bright and Javier who is just kinda a mid level figher. Breaking it down, John's main mission is to Hunt men who are far from their prime and 2 out of the 3 werent' really skilled. I remember I posted a poll who people thought were tougher either Arthur or John and naturally Arthur won. In further reflection, John isn't half the man Arthur is. Arthur had many more accomplishments, many more battles, and was just a better overall character. The simple fact is the orignal game breaks down to an old gunslinger who is hunting old imcompetent men. When you consider the gang's past and look who John had to hunt it's kinda pathetic.
