@@kevinrecinos79 bro am a huge Kratos fanboy, but these type of comparisons brew nothing but bitterness in an otherwise sweet community. Lets celebrate legacy of each game and character individually without comparisons
That bullet dodge at 2:02:01 was incredibly impressive for a first time player. This is one of the most skillful starts I have seen on a first playthrough with no experience of how the missions are scripted. It’s refreshing to finally see someone actually making an effort to not get shot and not being ashamed to use deadeye. Hats off to you and I will surely continue watching after this
I think I owe the skill to playing RDR1 right before this one! So I knew the controls a bit even though there are some significant changes and upgrades. Thank you!
I’ll echo the sentiment , going through this game slowly is the way to go. There will be people who hate this though, who’ll only want you to do the main missions…. You can do that, but you’ll miss like a whole lot, like more than half the game, maybe even more than that is in all the side stuff you can find. There’s a place for instance, you can experience something there, and it gives you a hint of another place to go, you have to wait until late into the night in game time to get the pay off… if someone is rushing around, they’ll miss it. That said, I don’t think it’s possible to catch everything in one play through. There’s still things we are still finding out about that are in the game 6 years after the game being released, there’s just so much to find!
6 years later and people are still playing it for the first time.. nice nice... dont let anyone rush u while playing it... play this how u want to play it cause u can only enjoy it for the first time, once !!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: This game is so detailed that you get fat when you eat too much. Also try hanging out at the camp, more often then not the other people interact with each other
This was the smoothest Chapter 1 playthrough I've seen! Well done, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey. Take your time, explore, do all the side missions, don't rush the main story line - immersive is the word, and there is so much more. Fun!
This was a great watch Kali! You took to this game so naturally, a lot of ppl get turned off by the complex controls and slow start, but man once you start appreciating all those little details you get so immersed! Enjoy, have fun, and do your own pace.
I can definitely see it become overwhelming quickly. But I expect to be in this game for awhiiiiiile and I think I'm just so ready to dive deep into the lore that I don't mind the slow burn!
RDR2 and Last of Us were the first games that made u truly care about the "hero" / protagonists ... then Kratos became a Daddy n messed us all up again lol
Excited to see this playthrough! I just beat this game a few months ago and I am STILL stuck on it. I'm glad to hear you say that you are the type to dive deeper into games because this one is worth it. Enjoy
“She was a girl Dutch van der Linde shot in the head on that raid on the ferry a few years back. Same one you got shot on. Pretty girl... until her eye was hanging out by a thread of tendon, and her brain was plastered over a wall.” -The Strange Man This is why it’s fun playing this game with the context of the original ❤
So yeah, like the Strange Man said in RDR 1 and Javier says here in RDR 2, John was shot during the ferry heist (he was shot in the arm, if you look closely he has a bandage on it) and since we know from a newspaper article from RDR 1 that Landon Ricketts was somehow involved in the Blackwater Massacre my headcanon is that he decided to get involved in stopping the robbery (either to help the law or as self-defense) and shot at Dutch's gang, shooting John in the arm during the chaos as a result. 12 years later, John and Ricketts meet in Mexico again without either of them knowing they crossed paths before.
RDR2 is one of the most well written games ever with insane level of voice acting and Arthur Morgan is one of the GOATS 9:15 This is what the stranger man was talking about when he first met John in RDR1, The Blackwater massacre is one of the most crucial moments in RDR universe but its story is vaguely told
Yeah, one of my favorite aspects of both RDR games is the fact that we never see what happened at the ferry, the so called 'Blackwater Massacre' of 1899. We only get snippets of what happened and that makes it much more meaninful and mysterious.
When hunting it's important to : use - Cover Scent Lotion - Bait & Squat so the animal doesn't get spooked . Also Study them before killing with binoculars or weapon .
Mad excited for this playthrough. This game is so big and is so detailed, it might be helpful to watch a spoiler free tips and tricks video for beginners, just to utilise all of the games mechanics. I'm on my 5th playthrough and there are still things I'm discovering for the first time. Top 3 game ever made!!!
Your playthrough will be so pleasant to follow! Already your introduction, where you talked about taking it slow and getting immersed, made me happy. Yes, this is definitely the best way to enjoy this game! Talk to everybody, often. Walk, ride, take in the world! Let the game's slow pace be a blessing. The only thing you really _don't_ need to care about is the mission checklists (bronze/silver/gold awards) - those are meant more for achievement hunters or possibly for a second playthrough. Otherwise they're totally unimportant, and occasionally even distract from the full experience (rewarding quick completion time, which is contrary to full immersion).
Thank you for easing my mind about the achievements! I guess it brings an added layer of newness when replaying the game (as if this game even needed that lol) so I won't worry about the awards this playthrough. Thank you for watching :)
Honestly I’m excited to see someone who played the first game first, and also recently! People on youtube who have played it first normally have done it a long time ago and big references to the first game aren’t as impactful because they don’t tend to remember. I played this game first but I love seeing the approach of someone who played 1 first! Excited to watch you play!
At 1:51:27, it isn’t clear to a lot of people because it’s so quick but Reverend is actually injecting Morphine for John to ease the pain. A small detail A LOT of people miss
So excited for your Red Dead 2 journey! There are some older journal entries you can read if you want to get a look at the weeks before the game started
I've played this game 17 times to 100% completion. All I've done since Oct. 18, 2018 is play this game or watch others play. You will get a lot of things telling you you are doing this or that wrong or you missed this or that. EVERY time I play or watch I find something new. My advice would be to just play your way the first time. If you choose to play again than you could listen to other ways of doing and finding things. I hope you enjoy this (interactive movie) as much as I do!
This video appeared on my timeline and saw it was a long vid and part 1. Just subbed to follow the start of your first time in this amazing journey into my favorite game of all time. I can't believe I wasn't originally going to get this game (I hate westerns and was peer pressured into getting it cause my GTA Online mates were all buying it for Red Dead Online :D) Only bit of advice I will give is take your time with this masterpiece and explore everywhere and anywhere. You're in for such an amazing journey especially coming from Read Dead 1 😃👍
I played the first game when it originally came out with no idea of a sequel. It’s great that the developers acknowledged people may have played RDR first as they place a lot of nods and references toward the game .
RDR2 is like eating a meal, and a delicious one at that. Savor it, enjoy it all, and take it slow because there’s so much of it. Explore, get lost in the world, and enjoy the side quests and all the little things you can do in it. By the end you’ll feel so full and fulfilled. It’s an instant classic 😊
I've never been one to watch videos of other people play video games, but I keep watching people play through this game for the first time because it's as close as I can get to experiencing it for the first time again myself. I haven't watched your channel before, but I have no problem saying you will absolutely fall in love with this game. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. You're in for a hell of a ride!
I have no idea who you are, but I'm so glad you came up in my recommendations! I've been wanting to go through another playthrough of this game, but I also want to see it again for the first time. This way, I can live vicariously through your first-time playthrough. And please take your time. The best things in this game aren't necessarily on the main path. Hell, my first playthrough took over 100 hours cause I spend too much time exploring and living in this world. Edit: This IS some of the best storytelling in any media ever P E R I O D
So many RDR2 playthroughs out there but it's obvious yours is going to be a good one and worth sticking around for. Seem to be a good mix of calmness, thoughtful commentary and keen sense of observation, and it's pretty clear you're also smart. Hope you enjoy the ride, I'll try to catch up. Cheers.
2:25:54 I have to agree with Dutch here. 'Usury' is another term for loan-sharking, so robbing a bank seems more morally correct in comparison, than threatening destitute people to borrow money off of you then get violent if they don't pay it back.
Friendly tip you can often get in on the conversations that gang members are having with each other if you just stand near them instead of listening from afar. And more than likely you can press greet on each participant in the conversation to say something afterwards that’s relevant to it or unique for that conversation alone. On rare occasions it will be the antagonize button. Not only that but after each and every mission there will be unique dialogue you can trigger with various camp members regarding recent events. Try your hardest not to miss dialogue from Arthur as they spent a lot of time recording so so much and I missed way more than I heard on my first playthrough
It's so pleasing to see when someone is playing a new game for the first time when you have played it yourself. RDR2 is the best game I ever played and I'm looking forward to see this. You will have a blast.
OMG, UA-cam recomended me your last episode and ai[m gonna start seen your fulls series, and honestly never someone so good at the game at the satrt, and how you look and apreciate every detail like no one i've seen on youtube
Hello Kali. I could not watch your Red Dead Redemption 1 series because I did not play the game yet. But now I am back. This will be a long journey and this will be a memorable one and thank you in advance.
This game is so detailed. Spend time in the camp, you'll get random interactions with people like the way Dutch walked up to you to talk a bit. You'll see interactions between other characters that will reveal their personalities and a little bit of the camps dynamics. Please take your time! There's so much that you can't do everything on your first playthrough. Excited to watch your choices and see what you do with Arthur!
Just a tip for the game, whenever you see places with white surrounding it with a ? mark, those are stranger missions you can do as Arthur, some don't unlock until later chapters, and doing them can be both fun and rewarding. A lot of people don't bother and just go through the game quickly, take your time with the game. The stranger missions are worth doing in this game.
It is always special to find someone I can relate to starting RDR2 for the first tine. Red Dead 2 is one of those game experiences I'll forever wish I could relive for the very first time.
I can honestly say that this is one of, if not the best game I've ever played in my life, and I can't wait to watch your playthrough and experience of it. Your attention to detail will definitely make this playthrough so much better, as every corner of this game is packed with detail to appreciate. Have fun! :))
One of the best things about this game is the attention to detail. For example, the horse's testicles shrink in cold weather. You can actually notice it😅. Also, characters you interact with will remember you throughout the game and what you did to them. There's a lot of foreshadowing in the dialogue that you wouldn't know if you played this first. When this first came out, all the fans of the first game were so hyped. They never expected there to be a sequel. They did a great job.
Red Dead 2 & Arthur's story made such an impact on me that I wrote my dissertation on its Immersive Narrative.. You've got a beautiful journey ahead of you Kali 🤠🐎
I’m actually really excited to see someone play rdr2 who also has prior knowledge of the first game. I haven’t played the story of the first game myself yet (although I do have a general idea of the story and how it ends) but I used to get my brother to lend me it when I was 9/10 so I could ride the horses LOL. I’ve watched a lot of playthroughs now of rdr2 and every single one of them had no prior knowledge on the first game, so it’s gonna be really nice to see someone actually see the connections between them!!
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and I am looking forward to watching someone thoughtful like yourself do a playthrough. I find this the best the best story in gaming history and a tragedy it hasn’t been adapted. I have an ungodly amount of hrs/playthroughs of both games and like yourself played in release order. 2 does such a great job in expanding the depths of everything hinted at in 1. I have some controversial takes, lol, but I will refrain until the end. Needless to say, this game (1+2 combined) has some of the best characters of any medium. Have fun, and it’s a great idea to go as slow as you want 👍🏽
Love your attention to detail! Going to enjoy following this playthrough. Also fun to follow someone who played RDR1 first, watching the younger versions of so many characters being fleshed out.
You are awesome for playing this! I am enjoying this. It's my favorite game of all time next to CP 2077 and AC Black Flag. Looking forward to more of it!!!
Yay, you popped up in my feed; I love how detail-oriented you are. I can tell this is going to be a good playthrough. I'm subbed and along for the ride as you experience this masterpiece :)
Absolutely DO NOT rush through this game. Take your time, explore the environment, hang around at camp to interact with the characters, do all the side missions etc etc. Rushing through this game is a surefire way to lose out on a magnificent experience and at worst get frustrated and bored because of the gameplay loops that can get monotonous if youre only going from mission to mission
@@kaliwali for the record they message me by your name and say you give gifts to your older followers and they ask money. I found it weird and rejected. Could you believe it they ask me to give 140 buck for gift 😄😄😄😄 what a century we living in
Im so happy you played the first one first its the natural way and how i experienced it as they came out. So ready for all this remember to just take your time and take it all in. I love your playthroughs you do such a great job on these cant wait to see your journey here good look hope you enjoy it. Love the lil bandana by the way.
Knowing all the details in RDR2, and knowing that's your jam, watching this is like watching a kid on Christmas morning ☺ You're in for a game like no other P.S. the song at the end of Chapter 1, when the gang sets off the mountain, is some of my favorite game music ever
Note how when you meet Sadie , Dutch is essentially a good man n shuts down Micah's perspective that Sadie is an O'D , and notably Arthur takes his lead from him (ie with the Driscoll in the barn, Arthur asks Dutch if he should kill him) ... it's these little details that get under your skin and tweak at our heart-strings as the game progresses ... it's subtle as the story line plays out and you witness the decline of Dutch to Micah's influence ... though the clue is in the Name of the game lol
I just love how much of a shithead John is throughout a significant part of this game, specially to Abigail and Jack (keep an eye out for John's camp interactions), it makes his redemption arc in RDR 1 so much more poignant. Also, Uncle is legit one of the most underrated characters, he probably has the funniest camp conversations in this game, lol.
I caught on to a bit of craphead John's personality throughout the next episode (releasing tomorrow) and woooooww.. What a redemption arc! I was NOT expecting him to treat Abigail or Jack that way
I'm an old gamer from the Video Arcade Game Era of the 1970's. You've got skills and I appreciate your attention to details and acknowledgement of the games details. Check out the Compendium and all the Challenges and collections that span the entire map. You can only play this game once for the first time. Take it slow, enjoy the exploration and the incredible grind this game can offer.
This whole intro and more... That is why I subscribed in your channel haha your ways to play games and the thought process. And I didn't even started very much yet to watch and already know it's gonna be AAAAAWESOME!❤
Im really surprised you connected the strange man to the boat instance. He’s also in this prequel as well but not as a mission. There is so much hidden stuff in this game. I played it in 2018 and I’m still finding things new in here, one of the most in-depth games I’ve ever played! Love the playthrough, can’t wait for the next!
I think you missed the tip that told you how to activate the cinematic camera. 38:45 It's super useful to know, especially on horse back, and beautiful to look at 😉
@@kaliwali If you hold down the middle touch pad on the PS5, you'll activate the cinematic view. This is like cruise-control for your horse. If you set a waypoint on the map, your horse will follow the path automatically and you can even put your controller down. You can also adjust the speed of the horse in cinematic view. This can also be useful when riding with others during missions to allow you to soak in the dialogue and surroundings.
@@maunawiliboy Exactly. "This can also be useful when riding with others during missions to allow you to soak in the dialogue and surroundings." I can't agree more.
I'm always here for first time players of RDR2. Played it myself for the first time two years ago and it's one of the best video games of all time. I love watching others experience that, too.
I am sooo excited to see this! I missed the Twitch streams, but I absolutely love this game (especially Chapter 2) - I have a save in Chapter 2 where I just run around and hunt and chill at camp.
I'm so excited too! I'm reallllly looking forward to the storyline and character development 💚 And I love the idea of keeping a separate save early on and I think I'll do the same!
Make sure you talk to people, watch the random interactions that happen around you and always check the question marks on your map ..and most of all have fun !
I can't stop watching more new people in this masterpiece! shout out to youtube because they always show me more new content creators playing this game that I've never heard of before lol
Hell yeah! Was honestly hoping to see you try this one day but I had no idea it'd happen so soon! DEFINITELY take it slow and immerse yourself to the setting, Kali ^^
Hi Kali. New sub here. On episode 7 of binging your RDR series. Love it so far! One tip; pay attention to NPC dialog. It's often informative and very beneficial. Have fun! Can't wait to catch up.🙂
New sub here. I am excited to watch your full play thru. All i can say is get ready for the rollercoaster ride full of emotions. But also take your time to enjoy the amazing attention to detail everywhere (even when just exploring). i have a feeling your gonna like Sadie from the little I've watched.
take it slow! do all the side quests and stuff it takes more than 100+ hrs to fully finish this game and so vast and has well written story and character development in my opinion its the best game ive ever played. RockStar did really pour their dedication and hardwork for this game.
Finally I get to watch a playthrough in the correct order. Seems everyone plays RDR1 after 2. Anyway, I will gladly check out your RDR1 plays then jump into this! Have fun 👍
Moving through this game slow is definitely the way to go. Enjoy!
Uncle is timeless. Yeah, in RDR1 Jack said something like “I remember Uncle being old even when I was a boy”.
Yes! I remember that exactly lol
Arthur is one of the best written characters in any media form!
He’s most definitely the 🐐

How kind of Reverend to give up his own stash to help a gang member

You weren't wrong about Dutch. What we saw in RDR was the fallen cult leader. He's still in full form at this point.

On rare occasions it will be the antagonize button. Not only that but after each and every mission there will be unique dialogue you can trigger with various camp members regarding recent events. Try your hardest not to miss dialogue from Arthur as they spent a lot of time recording so so much and I missed way more than I heard on my first playthrough
I found this game so immersive and its a great game. Great one Kali 👍🏽😇
It's so pleasing to see when someone is playing a new game for the first time when you have played it yourself. RDR2 is the best game I ever played and I'm looking forward to see this. You will have a blast.
OMG, UA-cam recomended me your last episode and ai[m gonna start seen your fulls series, and honestly never someone so good at the game at the satrt, and how you look and apreciate every detail like no one i've seen on youtube
Hello Kali. I could not watch your Red Dead Redemption 1 series because I did not play the game yet. But now I am back. This will be a long journey and this will be a memorable one and thank you in advance.
Ooh I hope you get a chance to play it. It’s a fantastic game even today. Wish they’d put it on PC…
Like Chuck said, you should deeeefinitely play RDR1 when you get a chance! But I'm glad to see you back for this series 💚
This game is so detailed. Spend time in the camp, you'll get random interactions with people like the way Dutch walked up to you to talk a bit. You'll see interactions between other characters that will reveal their personalities and a little bit of the camps dynamics. Please take your time! There's so much that you can't do everything on your first playthrough. Excited to watch your choices and see what you do with Arthur!
Just a tip for the game, whenever you see places with white surrounding it with a ? mark, those are stranger missions you can do as Arthur, some don't unlock until later chapters, and doing them can be both fun and rewarding. A lot of people don't bother and just go through the game quickly, take your time with the game. The stranger missions are worth doing in this game.
It is always special to find someone I can relate to starting RDR2 for the first tine. Red Dead 2 is one of those game experiences I'll forever wish I could relive for the very first time.
I can honestly say that this is one of, if not the best game I've ever played in my life, and I can't wait to watch your playthrough and experience of it. Your attention to detail will definitely make this playthrough so much better, as every corner of this game is packed with detail to appreciate. Have fun! :))
One of the best things about this game is the attention to detail. For example, the horse's testicles shrink in cold weather. You can actually notice it😅. Also, characters you interact with will remember you throughout the game and what you did to them.
There's a lot of foreshadowing in the dialogue that you wouldn't know if you played this first. When this first came out, all the fans of the first game were so hyped. They never expected there to be a sequel. They did a great job.
Red Dead 2 & Arthur's story made such an impact on me that I wrote my dissertation on its Immersive Narrative.. You've got a beautiful journey ahead of you Kali 🤠🐎
Oh wow! That's amazing!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! I hope you have an incredible time playing this game!!! definitely one of my favs :)
I’m actually really excited to see someone play rdr2 who also has prior knowledge of the first game. I haven’t played the story of the first game myself yet (although I do have a general idea of the story and how it ends) but I used to get my brother to lend me it when I was 9/10 so I could ride the horses LOL. I’ve watched a lot of playthroughs now of rdr2 and every single one of them had no prior knowledge on the first game, so it’s gonna be really nice to see someone actually see the connections between them!!
I will say if you have a chance to play it now, you definitely should! It's no RDR2 but for it's time, it's genius
Up until Horseshoe Overlook, you're pretty much on rails. But, now, the world is your oyster. Get out there and explore, partner. Outlaws for Life!
Ooooph, that Mountain Hymn music as they move camp still gets me all choked up. 😂
Wow love your reactions you are so focused and excited which make me excited and wanna play the game again. Cheers from Sweden missus
You don’t know how lucky you are being able to experience this game for the 1st time… my favourite game, blows the 1st completely out the water
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and I am looking forward to watching someone thoughtful like yourself do a playthrough.
I find this the best the best story in gaming history and a tragedy it hasn’t been adapted. I have an ungodly amount of hrs/playthroughs of both games and like yourself played in release order. 2 does such a great job in expanding the depths of everything hinted at in 1.
I have some controversial takes, lol, but I will refrain until the end. Needless to say, this game (1+2 combined) has some of the best characters of any medium.
Have fun, and it’s a great idea to go as slow as you want 👍🏽
Love your attention to detail! Going to enjoy following this playthrough.
Also fun to follow someone who played RDR1 first, watching the younger versions of so many characters being fleshed out.
welcome in! I hope you enjoy the ride 💚🐴
You are awesome for playing this! I am enjoying this. It's my favorite game of all time next to CP 2077 and AC Black Flag. Looking forward to more of it!!!
can already tell im gonna love this playthrough!! very good first episode :D
You have NO IDEA just how much I wish I could play this game for the first time, Take your time and enjoy the ride
Yay, you popped up in my feed; I love how detail-oriented you are. I can tell this is going to be a good playthrough. I'm subbed and along for the ride as you experience this masterpiece :)
Absolutely DO NOT rush through this game. Take your time, explore the environment, hang around at camp to interact with the characters, do all the side missions etc etc.
Rushing through this game is a surefire way to lose out on a magnificent experience and at worst get frustrated and bored because of the gameplay loops that can get monotonous if youre only going from mission to mission
"Orfur" - Dutch every time he sees Arthur
🤣😂
@@kaliwaliquick question kali do you give gifts on telegram?
@@Fazli_Tekinaslan definitely not! I don't have a telegram so that is a scam!!
@@kaliwali for the record they message me by your name and say you give gifts to your older followers and they ask money. I found it weird and rejected. Could you believe it they ask me to give 140 buck for gift 😄😄😄😄 what a century we living in
😂 I tried it and it worked!
Im so happy you played the first one first its the natural way and how i experienced it as they came out. So ready for all this remember to just take your time and take it all in. I love your playthroughs you do such a great job on these cant wait to see your journey here good look hope you enjoy it. Love the lil bandana by the way.
Legendary Man and the legendary series. Side missions to finish the main story immediately are also part of the legendary game.
One of the best games ever and it's huge...take your time and explore every corner of the map.......it's worth it!
Greetings from Germany
Knowing all the details in RDR2, and knowing that's your jam, watching this is like watching a kid on Christmas morning ☺
You're in for a game like no other
P.S. the song at the end of Chapter 1, when the gang sets off the mountain, is some of my favorite game music ever
Note how when you meet Sadie , Dutch is essentially a good man n shuts down Micah's perspective that Sadie is an O'D , and notably Arthur takes his lead from him (ie with the Driscoll in the barn, Arthur asks Dutch if he should kill him) ... it's these little details that get under your skin and tweak at our heart-strings as the game progresses ... it's subtle as the story line plays out and you witness the decline of Dutch to Micah's influence ... though the clue is in the Name of the game lol
Reading the cursive text is actually crazy work
I just love how much of a shithead John is throughout a significant part of this game, specially to Abigail and Jack (keep an eye out for John's camp interactions), it makes his redemption arc in RDR 1 so much more poignant.
Also, Uncle is legit one of the most underrated characters, he probably has the funniest camp conversations in this game, lol.
I caught on to a bit of craphead John's personality throughout the next episode (releasing tomorrow) and woooooww.. What a redemption arc! I was NOT expecting him to treat Abigail or Jack that way
@@kaliwali Yeah, when John said in RDR 1 that he "hadn't been much of a father" to Jack he really meant it, lol.
I'm an old gamer from the Video Arcade Game Era of the 1970's. You've got skills and I appreciate your attention to details and acknowledgement of the games details. Check out the Compendium and all the Challenges and collections that span the entire map. You can only play this game once for the first time. Take it slow, enjoy the exploration and the incredible grind this game can offer.
you are so smart, looking at the game information and only a small fraction of people do this at first I love your gameplay
This whole intro and more... That is why I subscribed in your channel haha your ways to play games and the thought process. And I didn't even started very much yet to watch and already know it's gonna be AAAAAWESOME!❤
thank you!! 💚
Just found your channel, going to have to binge your RDR playthrough and get caught up. Subscribed. RDR2 is the best game ever.
thank you for the new sub! I hope you enoy the wild ride 🐴💚
Im really surprised you connected the strange man to the boat instance. He’s also in this prequel as well but not as a mission. There is so much hidden stuff in this game. I played it in 2018 and I’m still finding things new in here, one of the most in-depth games I’ve ever played! Love the playthrough, can’t wait for the next!
Everytime I see this game I just think about how crazy beautiful it is! Excited for your playthrough!
yesss! I've been so excited for this! 💚
This is definitely a game I would like to experience for the first time again, thanks for sort of helping with that, cheers.
I think you missed the tip that told you how to activate the cinematic camera. 38:45
It's super useful to know, especially on horse back, and beautiful to look at 😉
Do you happen to know what button that is on PS5 controller?? I've been trying to figure it out lol
@@kaliwali If you hold down the middle touch pad on the PS5, you'll activate the cinematic view. This is like cruise-control for your horse. If you set a waypoint on the map, your horse will follow the path automatically and you can even put your controller down. You can also adjust the speed of the horse in cinematic view.
This can also be useful when riding with others during missions to allow you to soak in the dialogue and surroundings.
@@maunawiliboy Exactly.
"This can also be useful when riding with others during missions to allow you to soak in the dialogue and surroundings." I can't agree more.
Great first episode, as it's a massive game, take your time with it as there is a lot to do and you'll probably appreciate it more
I'm always here for first time players of RDR2. Played it myself for the first time two years ago and it's one of the best video games of all time. I love watching others experience that, too.
I am sooo excited to see this! I missed the Twitch streams, but I absolutely love this game (especially Chapter 2) - I have a save in Chapter 2 where I just run around and hunt and chill at camp.
I'm so excited too! I'm reallllly looking forward to the storyline and character development 💚 And I love the idea of keeping a separate save early on and I think I'll do the same!
Make sure you talk to people, watch the random interactions that happen around you and always check the question marks on your map ..and most of all have fun !
I can't stop watching more new people in this masterpiece! shout out to youtube because they always show me more new content creators playing this game that I've never heard of before lol
thank you for hanging out here! I hope you enjoy the series as it goes :)
@@kaliwali please take it slow, there is a lot you can do or to find out in this game and you won't regret it!
I love the fact that you are like me. I'll always go on a hunt to find my hat 🤣
I wish I could experience this game for the first time again. Greatest game ever made. Greatest storyline. Greatest protagonist.
Have seen a lot if playthroughs of RDR2 most of which are of people who hadn't played the first game. Looking forward to seeing this.
Hell yeah! Was honestly hoping to see you try this one day but I had no idea it'd happen so soon! DEFINITELY take it slow and immerse yourself to the setting, Kali ^^
Hi Kali. New sub here. On episode 7 of binging your RDR series. Love it so far! One tip; pay attention to NPC dialog. It's often informative and very beneficial. Have fun! Can't wait to catch up.🙂
This is a game you should definitely take your time with exploring the world. The story isn't as linear and fast-paced as RDR1.
New sub here. I am excited to watch your full play thru. All i can say is get ready for the rollercoaster ride full of emotions. But also take your time to enjoy the amazing attention to detail everywhere (even when just exploring). i have a feeling your gonna like Sadie from the little I've watched.
Subbed. You have a very relaxing voice. Easy to listen to and you speak well. :)
thank you for the new sub! I hope you enjoy this series :)
playing through slowly is 100% the way to go. i’m still on the playthrough i started in 2022 and i’m only 60% done😅
38:10 actually Javer here is talking about the same girl the strange man talks about in rdr1. They are in fact referring to the same robbery
I had a feeling!
take it slow! do all the side quests and stuff it takes more than 100+ hrs to fully finish this game and so vast and has well written story and character development in my opinion its the best game ive ever played. RockStar did really pour their dedication and hardwork for this game.
Finally I get to watch a playthrough in the correct order. Seems everyone plays RDR1 after 2.
Anyway, I will gladly check out your RDR1 plays then jump into this! Have fun 👍
Or NOT the correct order I suppose, lol. Depending on how you look at it.
Well Horseshoe Overlook is still kind of a tutorial phase as you may notice. So it's not over yet.
As you say, this game's attention to detail is unmatched, truly mind blowing!
