10 Video Games That Reward You For Brutal Things

Now just because John Marston is forced into working with the US government, that does not mean that his shooting, stabbing, cheating, robbing and murdering days are behind him. At least, not while players of Red Dead Redemption have anything to say about it.

While players try to hunt down the last remaining members of the Van Der Linde gang, they are free to explore the countryside and towns of 1911’s America and Mexico in the final years of the Wild West. This also provides the perfect setting to reference many famous western films and their characters.

But there is one reference that requires the player to do something especially cruel and that’s to recreate one of the most cliched scenes in early western films.

The Dastardly achievement is awarded after the player hogties a female NPC, places them on a train track and watches them be crushed by an oncoming train. You cannot just leave them there and wait for the achievement to pop. You have to stay and admire your good work in order for it to count.

I guess so long as John does not tell his son and wife about it, everything should be fine.
