10 Emotionally Intense Video Game Moments You Weren't Ready For

3. Realising Jack Couldn't Escape That Life - Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2

Despite the fact he spends the whole game trying to eradicate his past and move on, Red Dead Redemption's biggest moment is when the law enforcement John Marston is working with decide to kill him anyway.

It's doubly sad for son Jack too, as you've spent copious amounts of time moulding him into something better. John espouses the positives of living off the land and being a farmer, and you make a point of rustling up cattle together.

Perhaps Rockstar's most haunting comment on the inevitable pull towards living life as an outlaw, once we jump forward in time and resume life as Jack... it's quickly made apparent none of these teachings have stuck, and he too is doomed to a life of morally devoid banditry.
