I almost felt bad for Dutch before he offed himself. Almost. It's one of those things where it's hard to actually feel sympathy for someone who's that much of a bastard, but the whole "That's a Paradox" speech came close to making him sympathetic.
I fucking hate the fact that we get done with Dutch, and then we go through a bunch of those lame intro missions again. "Ride wagon." "lasso horse." "Ride halfway across the map." I also think the stuff with John and his family is kind of too little, too late. It just doesn't really do much for me.
Right up to the end of John's story, and I loved it. I know it sucks that John Marston dies, but that last mission was a cool way for him to go out. It's so fucking...Western, really.
I know people hate Jack, but so far my only real complaint is John's not Jack. You spend hours, possibly dozens of hours, with John Marston. his voice, his mannerisms, his character in general. And then they drop Jack in at the end, so once you've gotten to that point, you're randomly stuck with someone else. So I get it. I haven't done the remaining missions yet, and probably won't today. I burned through John's last missions because with each of them, I was sure it was wrapping up and I wanted to see the "ending."
one of my favorite things about John was that he usually sounded somewhat bemused when dealing with people.
