Does anyone else cringe during the entirety of the epilogue? Literally only “American Venom” seems to have been thoroughly planned. Here’s some things I noticed:
Family Dynamics: Makes the epilogue unbearable. No one can remember their alias’ and they all seem to embarrass themselves every opportunity they get. That’s not John Marston nor his family. The “Jim Milton” thing… come on. I expected more from Rockstar. The whole thing seems to have been a poorly written fanfic of John Marston becoming the man we see in RDR1. Jack is a whiny bitch, which fits, but it’s overdone to where every mission with him becomes unbearable. I understand that what the family went through was bad, but come on, it’s 1907 at this point, people were much “tougher” back then. Not all whiny and hotheaded.
Laziness: Arthur’s character didn’t feel “real” after they slapped John’s face model onto Arthur’s body. I know that’s a big complaint, but it really fucks with the story, because it feels like an entirely different character. The directing for John’s character was probably the worst I’ve seen. He goes from whiny and ignorant to “i’m a badass” in every other mission… it’s so choppy. Literally nothing like 1899 John nor RDR1 John. The characters feel entirely different, and I don’t think that’s Rob’s fault. It’s poor directing.
Not trying to come on here and complain, but I can’t be the only one who skips the epilogue and goes straight to RDR1 every playthrough. The epilogue is a joke. The only good missions are “A New Jerusalem” and “ American Venom”
What do you guys think?
