I pretend X-2 doesn't exist.
About Red Dead Redemption though, that's what makes the ending so feel worthy. John Marston dies very tragically. He wanted to leave the life of an outlaw behind him and the government forces him to go and kill the people he once looked at as family. That was harsh for John all together just because at one point they were his friends. Then when John does exactly what the agents ask of him and they still kill him. Edgar Ross specifically says he would never bother John again and safely return his family if he did this for them. Thing is, the government use such underhanded tactics to lure John in a sense to think it's over but, since John was still formally an outlaw they kill him anyway. They force him to kill his friends and then decide to not fufill their end of the bargain anyway. It was dirty.
The ending scene with Jack Marston taking revenge just adds more to the sense that there is no redemption. John did not want his son to take the same path he did. At the end of RDR when Jack takes his revenge that just seals the deal that Jack couldn't let it go and thus goes on the path John wanted his son so desperately avoid. Rockstar knows how to tell a damn good story and because it goes out on such a tragic note instead of some happy ending. It's all the more meaningful how a such a well developed and likable character like John Marston who was a good guy and wanted to leave a life a bloodshed behind is forced to commit these terrible deeds because he has no other choice and in the end is just murdered like he was nothing. It was sad but damn good. Very few companies can only dream to have the story telling prowess and talent Rockstar has when it comes to delivering a damn good story.
