Since the release of the prequel to Rockstar's 2010 title "Red Dead Redemption" there has been much critism surrounding the much loved protagonist, outlaw John Marston.


Here I sum up some of the issues brought to light over the internet by fans.

  • What sucks is that after rockstar releases a new game, they never touch the story mode ever again unless it’s to fuck up something that was already good in the first place
  • @smoker5989
    You know something worse? When you go to the menu and you see the missions you can see John still keeps his original hair
  • @lowkeyyc152
    they arent lazy enough to make horse balls grow in the weather but cant give john his hair?
  • The weirdest among all this is they gave original John's outfit in one of Outlaw passes.
  • @bearbaughgames
    With each update I notice more and more glitches in the story mode. Especially that one with people complaining about you being to underdressed for cold weather when we are in swamp lands in 80-90 degree weather.

    It's almost as if John is trying to cosplay himself but he just can't get the look right.
  • @themoike_prod
    Not to mention: a level 2 beard is invisible , His nose, His huge gloves, His scar near his left eye that makes him look angry, is also missing, And goddamn you're right about him looking better in the photos of pre release Edit: I didn't mean to seem like I'm nagging too much about it but I'm just saying he looks weird and as if he was remade from memory
  • @hunterbrookes
    Epilogue John needs to look more rugged aswell as have his original hair,he looks like a pretty boy compared to RDR1 John who looked menacing which is only 3-4 years later
  • @nahar-980
    The truth is that your playing as john morgan.
  • @iamthespy928
    i think the main problem was the hair growth system, thats why they had to change the head type, and because of that they had to change the body type too, but instead of trying to fix john npc body to work in the epilogue, they decided to use arthurs whole body for him, making him look a bit more thinner but with the same body type as arthur, the only thing that is from john is his textures, yea that was the worst decision they made in this game.
  • @rpaulisan
    For me the biggest issue is the fact that John just doesn't look as mean as he did in the first game. He actually looks kinda naive.
  • @StuartLugsden
    None of his NPC outfits are available in the wardrobe and his rancher outfit is missing the brown wrist gauntlets.
  • @mrmarston1624
    Man its just sad to see Rockstar neglect one of their best characters 😔 we can only hope they actually recognise and fix the issues
  • @Graysoneli2
    never even noticed any of this, now i cant unsee it. fuck.
  • RDR2 Playable John is literally just an Arthur reskin , I mean look at his head, is literally Arthur’s model.
