10 Devastating Video Game Betrayals You Never Saw Coming

2. Edgar Ross €“ Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption Edgar Ross€™s betrayal and John Marston€™s death are two things I never saw coming as I played through Red Dead Redemption; even to this day I still don€™t understand why Ross turned on John Marston. Williamson is killed as requested, Dutch is no longer a threat, his gang is wiped out and the bank is protected. To me this is more than enough to have his wife and son returned to him and be allowed to live in peace. However, Ross doesn't seem to see things the same way as me and plans an assault on Marston€™s ranch. What makes this betrayal all the worse is Ross€™s apathy towards the whole situation. As Marston is being gunned down he€™s casually lighting a cigar in the background. Even when he is tracked down years later by Marston€™s son, he is still indifferent to the killing of John and states that he€™ll gladly kill Jack as well. Thankfully €œeveryone will eventually pay for what they've done€.
