'Red Dead Redemption 2' Players Aren't Convinced That Jack Is John Marston's Son

Hypothetical: what if Jack Marston isn't a Marston at all, because he isn't the son of John? Blasphemy, right?

He is Micah’s son

He even says how he had to put a gun on women to have sex at the camp, and at one point he was seducing Abigail

———————- Spoilers ———————-

Also in the last mission Abigail is againts John killing Micah with such expression as if you were going yo kill a love one, so yeah her and micah had an affair when John left the camp for a year prior RDR2

Jack even resembles Micah much more than John when he is an adult. So yeah, John got cheated and played out

MGTOW forever

Spoilers————

Abigail isn’t against the fact that John going to Kill Micah

She’s against the idea of allowing John to sink back into his old life. This is shown throughout the whole epilogue where even after he did the smallest thing by getting back the other ranches goods from those thieves it made her angry, or how she didn’t like the fact that he was helping Sadie hunting bounties. She doesn’t want John to go out and cause trouble because of how hard it’s been for them trying to start a new life after dutches betrayal. It’s made clear she wants John to make himself by doing honest work.

She finally she’s that when he buys the ranch and builds the home only to see it possibly slip away. It has nothing to do with Micah being the father, which I strongly doubt is. There’s no evidence to back any of the claims.

John acts the way he does because he still sees himself as a kid. There’s a huge difference in personality between jack in 1 and him in 2. I see this talked by many how John isn’t the father cause he doesn’t seem to care. Again

Also Abigail was the camps prostitute.its been stated plenty of time that everyone’s had their way with her, Dutch even says so in rdr1.

AspiringProGenji2387d ago

I was just being silly. I read the entire thread and kinda ruined Abigail for me lol. I feel a lot more of respect for John now.

WANNAGETHIGH2386d ago

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate this game and other single player games like God of War, Spider-Man e.t.c. It gives me that nostalgia feeling talking about the story of a game and making up theories as to who’s what and what will happen in the next installment. The feeling of a game leaving you on a cliffhanger, the excitement we felt when we found out atreaus was Loki in god of war. It reminds me arguing with friends back in the day about metal gear solid and how long it took us to find out we had to switch the controller to defeat prey mantis. Am so Glad single player games made a statement this gen, we must continue to support this devs so they don’t go the EA and now recently Bethesda(F76) rout down the next generation. 2019 we must equally come out to support Last of us 2 , Days Gone, Ghost of T, Death stranding, and other single player games. When they see the overwhelming support they will be forced to keep supporting the genoura.

moomoo3192386d ago

Not even gunna read the spoilers to say that makes no sense lol. Micah = 6 months with gang and Jack = multiple years old

Dark_Knightmare22385d ago (Edited 2385d ago )

Thank you I just said the same thing above. Its like some people didn’t even play the game or they did and have crap attention spans

DEEBO2387d ago

Well I kinda had a feeling about the kid being that asshole micah but also see it as her wanting him to live a normal life,no more outlaw lifestyle.

But I did miss the part about her being the camps personal jumpoff.
Then that makes it hard for John to love her and think the kid is his son,and the way she was trying to stop John and Sadie.

Man when is the beta coming??

bigmalky2386d ago (Edited 2386d ago )

Is Jack autistic, is more the question I would ask? Is it hard for John to connect with his son due to Jack's focus being elsewhere all the time, and in turn, Jack can't relate to his father's pastimes or obsessions.

His demeanour, speech patterns and actions in RDR2 all show the signs.

Eldyraen2386d ago

Traumatized by how he was raised.

Even before 2 started, people would have been coming in and out of his life (“gang family” dying or leaving), having his father leave him for a year (just before rdr2 takes place), being kidnapped (and this actually being his happiest timeframe by the way he talks about it), the way he was being saved, having more adopted gang “family” killed including right in front of him, and then his mother taking him from his father again and again as well.

He didn’t have an easy life in other words and who knows what happened in the camp as well since Gang life would be harsh. Discipline there probably wasn’t time out.

So he made a world for himself in his books to separate himself from his reality. Distanced himself from most everyone as well. Both distancing and creating an imagained truth is pretty common for kids in extremely bad places while growing up.

bigmalky2386d ago

That is potentially true, but watch him in the first camp. He has minimal interaction with anyone, spends all his time by himself on the outskirts of the camp, and can be found poking the fire repetitively and such.

I can see how his life would be impacted by his upbringing, but he seems very much cared for by the gang, despite their upheavals and lifestyle.

As a father of an autistic son, and having worked in care for 15 years, I see more than just a boy damaged by his environment here.

Skankinruby2386d ago

This was my exact thoughts going through RDR 1. Jack's existence was so loosely tied to the already shallow story of that game. I thought there would be some weird plot twist at the end where Jack either wasn't John's son or just never actually existed at all and John was just nuts.

Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Is Real, Out This Year

The possibility of a PS5 version for Red Dead Redemption 2 just became a bit more realistic, as the very reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed in his latest predictions podcast that a next-gen version of the Rockstar open worlder is in the works.

On the podcast, he said: "Those rumours are true. Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update and the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year." They go on to say that they were told the new versions will launch "a few months" after Switch 2's release, which is tomorrow. They then speculate a late summer / early fall launch window.

Please please please. My dualsense needs this game.

Aloymetal2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Yup, this game needs that sweet 60fps treatment. Can't wait I hope this is real.

andy852d ago

Be rude not to give it another play. Definitely won't be going for the platinum this time. That was hell 😂

lukasmain1d 19h ago

Lol it was even harder at launch. It took me a very long time. Apparently I've heard they made it easier getting the gold medals for missions in some way. But at launch time it was a pain because after you finish the story and go back to play missions to get the medals, you lose all your perks and abilities, your dead eye level and guns everything etc. You just have the stock standard bare minimum with crap guns. If I had have known they were going to do that, I would have made sure I got gold medals when I was playing the story. But I got it in the end. Pretty sure the trophies would auto-pop on a PS5 version

Cacabunga1d 13h ago

Yes you are right.. you equipment from the main game carried on when you go for gold medals which is always something!
Also the fact you don’t need to get gold on every mission is the big thing.

Still a massive plat and one of the few I am very happy to possess

jznrpg2d ago

Nice! I’ll add it to my collection

aaronlif102d ago

I sincerely hope we finally get a next gen update to this game. It is long overdue. I'd love to see ray tracing and enhanced lighting get added. Perhaps more npc's or animals, ect.

It's going to be $80 on the Switch 2.

PRIMORDUS18d ago

Or free if you torrent both of them on PC lol.

You could afford video games if you stopped commenting asinine comments here and got a job instead of stealing.

People have cellphones. They can work and squeeze in the 15 seconds to post a comment.

OtterX18d ago

Good sign that the PS5/XBSX version is coming soon at least.

neutralgamer199218d ago

Buy them when they are on sale. We just shouldn't be surprised anymore by prices hikes and or new games costing more. Simply speak with your wallets if you want these companies to pay attention. That's the only language they understand

raWfodog18d ago

The vast majority of the games that I buy are never at retail, always on sale. And usually it'll have to be a good sale too. At least 40% off. All this talk of increasing game prices rolls off my back.

neutralgamer199218d ago

same i like to pay $25-30 at most and even than closer to $25

Wh1teLightning18d ago

I don’t live in the UK and this makes no sense whatsoever. These games have been out for years shouldn’t they be going down?!? That’s not how you attract new players.

The_Blue18d ago

They don’t care about us. It’s the newer generation they are after.

QuantumMechanic18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I think this is a very apt statement. Game publishers appear increasingly to view their IP like books, music, and cinema---evergreen content that can be reprinted throughout its lifespan (until it enters the public domain). It's actually very reasonable.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

So this is how it works now? Old games get a price increase? This sh*t is completely getting out of hand now.
