When you're in cover and you shoot a guy, they loving programmed it so you stay standing up another second. That's killed me at least 5 times now. Retards.

doctor 7 posted:I think I should add my experience with the Stranger mission from God/Satan/Death/whoever gives a gently caress. You know, as I keep thinking about it, I am leaning towards The Mysterious Stranger being God. In their first encounter, he responds to John asking who he was by questioning if John remember's Hattie McCourt, a girl murdered by Dutch in the same botched job that ended up with Marston eating a bullet and almost dying, eventually turning away from the gang as a result. When John says that he doesn't recall Hattie, The Mysterious Stranger replies, "Then why would you remember me, friend? You've forgotten far more important people than me." This line is pretty heavily implying that The Mysterious Stranger wants John to feel remorse for such things like the wrongful death of an innocent girl, a sentiment I wouldn't think that the Devil or Death would have. It seems to me, considering that he mentions that Hattie died during the same robbery that John got shot on, that The Mysterious Stranger is trying to imply that John is being selfish in his actions and not realizing the actual nature of his past. This is evidenced by how he only talks about how his gang left him to die when he discusses why he left, and how he constantly refers to their supposed Robin Hood-esque moral code for their heists, respectively. The Mysterious Stranger knows what is going to ultimately happen to John, and he knows that it's a result of his past. But he also seems to know that even though John is fighting to escape that past, he is holding himself back from achieving that desire. He is refusing to realize the depth of his sins, and thus he cannot seek penitence for them. I dunno, just a thought. Actual Endgame spoilers: Also, I only just realized how appropriate playing "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" during the scene at John's grave is. I never really listened to the lyrics and just thought it was put there because it was an archetypal Western song that had to do with being buried. Listening to it I realized how it's about a dying man who's last request is that they don't just bury him in the desert where he passed on and forget him, but to take him home and bury him next to his father. The people with him don't honor the wish, however, and make his gravesite on the "lone prairie." What a perfect metaphor for John's attempt to escape the Old West lifestyle before eventually being consumed by it. I love it.

as gently caress demeanor like he knows everything about you and is generally kind of an all-knowing rear end that seems to feel like he's in control of everything.
