10 Greatest Last Stands In Video Game History

This first Red Dead Redemption is a turning point for Rockstar, not only were they starting to grow more with their storytelling, but expand out of the Grand theft Auto style crime drama that the various studios are so well known for.

This played into every aspect of the game, because just like Grand Theft Auto two years prior, players were to play a role and not just become a mindless killer, no, this was a true story of redemption.

So it is all the more bittersweet, when John Marston keeps up his end of the bargain throughout the entirety of the game for him only end up being double-crossed by the law. This comes as he settles down with the family to finally enjoy the life he was always working towards, but times were a'changing and the Wild West was being tamed.

So as John steps out from the barn, the player is greeted with one last shot of the Dead Eye system, and just for a moment it seems like you can win.

Sadly no, the law always manages to gun him down no matter what you do.
