Funny enough, the average horse passes manure upwards of a dozen or more times a day, so given the in-game clock that's actually a pretty accurate timetable lol
@@ronelgo1374 honestly it's not hard to see that horse poops alot in a day, one horse in one stall poops a shit ton. Sorry if my grammar is bad its 3:30 in the morning
Speaking of smoking to fill the dead eye, I thought taking time to smoke a cigar in the middle of a robbery or any crime was the most bad ass thing ever.
@@anthonyduffy6953 that is so true! I was just playing and a bear attacked me onto a crocodile and as I was dealing with them, lemoyne raiders spawn out of thin air!
@misagi I'm just taking my time getting to the ending I just collected most of the dinosaur bones and the last 8 I have to play as John for those well looks like it's on to the next side quest for me. Also I don't know why you can't do that
Imo I think Arthur Morgan is Rockstar's best character achievement. His moral compass is shaken and turned upside down several times, and while he claims to be just a dumb killer, he's quietly a talented artist and writer, and a thoughtful and worried man. He was raised on ideals that he saw his mentors turn away from, and it's in your hands whether he continues to follow their example or to make something better of himself. His past is the most intricate Rockstar has EVER devised for a character and so while you can try to call it narrative dissonance, even Arthur has a reason for when you're a bloodthirsty psychopath. He'll talk about it, saying he's angry all the time and he doesn't exactly know why, but how he thinks it's about the mess they're in. Arthur knows when he's killing without reason, and it just becomes a part of who he is if you choose to go that route. That said, smoking through like 3 packs worth of cigarettes in a day to refill deadeye over and over is ridiculous.
Yeah exactly. That part where you kill an entire town was massively taken out of context here too. I mean Arthur is fucking furious afterwards and hates Micah even more for the rest of The game for making him do it.
One of the moments that blew me away most in RDR2 was going into a theatre and watching a show. Seeing a gaslit stage play/animation through incredibly advanced graphics seems like it should be a pointless activity but for me it was something close to time travel. Somehow a different beast to playing Pacman as a minigame or dragging an accurately dressed cowboy through beautifully rendered mud, perfect though those experiences may be.
I agree I though the shows were one of the coolest things my wife who is so anti games even she thought that was really awesome and that on the history of our whole relationship has she ever said that about any other games
what i love about this game is arthurs design. its so iconic you can immediately recognize it, but its generic enough for you to become almost anyone in character customization.
I just wanna say that the fact that Arthur likes writing and drawing (he really likes drawing, stated in his journal) let us know that reaaaaaaaaaally deep down inside, if you looke extremely far past the big, stoic, brave and fearless man that Arthur is, he's a soft and emotional person.
????? im a very feminine man that draws and paints all day and let me tell you that you DONT have to be amything lkke me to enjoy art. thats a sterotype. there are plenty of traditioannly masculine motherf@%kers that draw far better than me lol. some of the greatest artists and writers are very manly and tough men.
The whole time Arthur’s forced to murder innocent people he’s talking about why he dosent want to do it. All throughout that micah prison break mission Arthur is absolutely pissed and is debating on just leavin the rat right there
this game has some of the most realistic fire effects iv ever seen though, light something on fire and it will literaly come alive and spread to all flammable objects like irl, seriously go and throw a fire bottle or shoot a fire arrow at a wagon or log cabin and watch the majestic flames, or drop dead bodies on campfires and watch em sizzle until all there flesh literally burns off
2:20 A-FREAKIN'-MEN, brother! I cannot begin to tell you the amount of times I've wanted to do some cool cosplay, get a cool jacket or coat, or do airsoft, only for me to step outside and realize "Crap. I'm in Florida. I'm either gonna die of heat stroke or being melted into a liquid if I don't take this off and put on shorts." I'm sorry but I just relate to that too dang well.
Well you know some people DO actually play Arthur as the humble man seen in the cutscenes...it makes the game more enjoyable, I feel awkward going around running into trains and killing innocents
@@lobsterwithhisshouldersbac8368 yes he is; literally says he doesn't want to be famous for gunslinging amongst other things. I'm not sure you know what humble means.
Yeah, I only do that for the challenges and achievements. Theres a dialogue where you sit down with one of the ladies at camp (I think it was Karen?) And talk about your feelings, and as soon as Arthur said he was upset about killing animals for no reason and leaving their corpses willy nilly, I immediately felt bad about running over squirrels and accidentally hunting animals while my horse was already loaded up. I try to play Arthur as a well mannered man who helps others and respects the land, but I gotta go rob a bunch of innocent people real quick so I can wear a gun belt, or kill a bunch of civilians cuz Micah's a douchebag
@@lobsterwithhisshouldersbac8368 iworld he has manner he regrets killing folks in every single cutscene ..he helps people randomly ..its the players that ruin it and this video is absolute garbage.
Agreed on the aiming system and movement mechanics...how many times have we run into someone else's horse when turning to shoot someone (makes it more interesting for sure) or bumped into an NPC's horse when galloping to the destination. And yes, there should have been am option to let Micah rot in the cell. Of course, if it hadn't been for Micah and Sean and their truly reckless psychopathic behavior, the Van der Linde Gang wouldn't be the melting pot of diversity we've come to know and love. So, taking the good with the bad, RDR2 is a great game.
Whoa whoa, The slide projector shows are hilarious, creative and genuinely fun. It shows the depth of the game. Even displays a NPO ( non player object ) from the catalog. That is extremely clever and cool. Just that is has unique stuff like this makes me like it that much more. I really wish I could frame the cigarette cards and display them in my gaming room. Is anyone who contributed creatively to making this game read this, thank you.
Yea yea but they could've put these resources into fun mechanics the game will use throughout the game and not into useless side content most will not see
@@caralho5237 It's the point of RDR2. You have to explore. Most details that make the game so alive are little things, dialogues, secondary stuff that you'd easily miss if you did just one playthrough or if you didn't give it time. If you like to rush a game and focus on a few major mechanics, it's just not for you, and it's fine that way. RDR2 is deeper. For me, it has to be taken as a span of time, something precious, unique, that you are given the opportunity to live. This game feels special because of this. It's not just a game, it's a little world of its own, and if you don't take your time, you will not find most of what makes it actually interesting.
@@caralho5237 if you don't care about side content it's fine but you should be aware that it's like not playing half of a game, this doesn't apply to RDT2 solely but to pretty much any game. People put too little care in side content with the excuse of "no one cares about that" but side contents: 1. impact the game loop much more than the unqualified average joe can realize 2. are still an integral part of the game and are meant to be enjoyed along with the main game loop 3. games would be much more empty without then, regardless of wether you care about them or not. Imagine walking in Valentine and not being able to enter the cinema, go to the barber, or to the general store. Sure, you might not care about that, but cities would be much emptier this way regardless
I like the shows in RDR2. It immerses you in the world by having you do every day common things that the people of that world would actually do. No one complained about the various TV channels in GTA V. I've watched nearly every show in GTA V. I love taking time away from the action, and spending a bit of time role playing or just getting lost in the realism of the world
Yes I agree that some people enjoy it in the way you do however many players don’t choose to do something they may see as a waste of time and money. Players do what they want. And yes red dead lends itself to being a Wild West life sim, many players don’t play it that way.
@@-gray-6966 The beauty of a Rockstar game is that you're free to not do those things if you don't want to, and if you do want to, you can spend as much time doing is as you please. That's what makes it so great.
@@davidschneider9145 They changed the names of basically all of them, and had to make a few more distinct because the guns they're based on like Winchester and Henry repeaters are still being actively manufactured and their appearances are copyrighted. The Evan's repeater magazine was changed because the real version was a pain in the ass to reload, and the cap & ball pistols usually had swappable cylinders. I missed a few I'm sure.
@Steel There are a couple of other mistakes. The Schofield should be the weakest of the revolvers because it had the weakest cartridge. They messed up some of the magazine capacities. For example, the Lancaster has 14 shots. I think it’s based on the 1866 Winchester, which holds 13 rounds plus one in the chamber. However, Arthur cycles the action before firing the first shot, which would indicate a magazine capacity of 14 rounds. But all of the mistakes are just minor details and don’t really make it less realistic.
Happened to me the first time I went into an inn. Wanted to take a bath, accidentally hit the wrong trigger and shot the jolly old dude right in the face.
Getting in a head on collision on accident with another horse rider and then being branded a murderer because they can't take a fall is real bull. Also every npc is SO standoffish and suspicious of others. If you walk too close to someone, or if you happen to be riding too close to a carriage, they're likely to draw their gun EVEN WHEN I'M JUST TRYING TO GET FROM A TO B IN CINEMATIC MODE.
BraapSpitBlack everytime some bullshit like that happens, I think to myself “killing this individual wouldn’t be that bad” and so I kill them. Then I end up killing the entire town and get a massive bounty. I usually pay the bounty off and just go back to the same town and say “hi” to everyone and my honor is good as new
I just started a new playthrough where I’m attempting 100% and I’m trying to do it all with no HUD. I totally agree with your mini map and prompts comments. They really do detract from what I think the game really wanted you to do, explore it.
Avengethegame27 Correction: Red Dead Online is a nightmare (hope the summer update is a step in the right direction but the length of time it has gone without meaningful updates is staggering, especially on the PvE side)
Arthur just hulks it though on the rabbit he never uses a knife just grabs the tail and rips the skin right off, I wonder how hard that really is to do
It’s like a really nicely wrapped gift, that doesn’t fit. The box and bow on it are world class. But the item doesn’t fit, and there’s no making it again..
I started having fun with it when I started to think of it as a more of an outlaw cowboy simulation than just another open world video game. I mean you can do a lot of things which are not typically video gamey, like feeding and brushing your horse, putting effort to bond with your horse, and your horse can actually die if you're not careful. If you pet a Dog, he'll recognize you the next time you meet him. Things like eating, drinking, smoking and sleeping regularly, maintaining your hair and beard length and style, cleaning your guns, cleaning yourself. You talk to people from your gang in campfires, listen to their stories, their past, sometimes get an item request from them which you can then complete, drink and dance with them, go hunting, fishing, play games with them. There are so many things which make you feel like a part of this living and breathing world, not like the world revolves around you and NPCs only exist to talk to you, all of them have their own lives and you just naturally interact with them. Random encounters with NPCs which can reward or punish you for being good, sometimes you're not even sure which one it'll be. It's almost like living a 2nd life.
@@jeremiahweaver4677i think it was so ahead of its time for 2018 being. Sure there has been realism and cool stuff in older games and etc but RDR2 was like a massive expensive iPhone when you're used to androids if that makes sense. There was just so many new things in that game that should set the standard bar for triple A games imo, but I can understand why people got overwhelmed and over stimulated from the excessive unorganized fun and realistic things you could do.
@@PeakDennisReynoldspersonally I loved the long horse rides for the first playthrough I think that makes sense to get in all the beautiful environments and not rush though it. But it definitely becomes very repetitive and backtracking the more you play it.
this game actually got me to a point in the story where I wanted to not kill enemys in a main mission because in my perception the arthur i decided to play probably wouldnt have. But because the game is tied to its story so much (which is an amazing story ofc, prob one of the best stories ever) i was forced to kill tons of people i didnt even wanted to.
That's exactly how Arthur feels, multiple times during the story he mentions how the gang is killing people for no reason and doubts if they are going to get out alive.
Darth Vader its great in the case of being able too create your own character pvp added weapons and clothing and some other stuff but it’s just still missing so much compared too the story. though I think it’s funny no one remembers it took gtao like what 4 or 5 years too add what’s everyone wanted, in too gtao? Which was heists.
@@jameshenchy184 maybe theyll do the same thing and add bank robberies and train heists (in better scenarios or more interesting robberies) 5 years later aswell :)
@@jameshenchy184 calm down it's not like they forgot about red dead online and I agree with Darth Vader about them adding the option to be able to do heists or rob stores and trains
I really like the slow pace. More games should embrace a slow, explorer pace. I actually got tired of videogames trying to smear my balls to the wall every second for hours on end.
I don’t get why people still don’t get why many game reviewers have problems with Rockstar game design. I completely understand your point of view, that the immersive experience of riding on your horse for miles, looking at the spanning beautiful landscape, doing mundane things like brushing, feeding horse, gather materials, hunting, fishing, crafting gives that immersion factor of being a cowboy like no others. That’s enjoying the game your own way, role playing. That’s all fine and good, I’m glad rockstar understood their product. However, as a game, a mix between a toy and art, their game design, or the toy mechanic part, is lacking. Open world games missions ideally should be more Deus Ex or at least Metal Gear 5. Simple objective with choices for the player to attempt. Rockstar shifted more heavily towards this as time goes by. It is understandable that making missions like that is complex and time consuming, but the argument is that, so is adding shitting horse or hours of voice acting and script writing. As it is, missions in Rockstar games are “cinematic experience” rather than a game. It’s a level where I feel it’s similar to walking simulator games. I’ll give a simple demonstration of what they could have done. Let’s say, the mission is to rescue a gang member from prison, you can provide the player with a few options. 1. ask a NPC that you helped in the past to swindle the law enforcers into releasing him. 2. Create a distraction using explosives or asking a gang member to fire their gun nearby, luring the sheriffs out so you can sneak in and blow the door open with explosive. 3. Go in gun blazing after preparing for an assault on the location. That’s the kind of options that the players should have. They don’t need to make too many assets for them as well if they focus on making the AI intuitive, so players can plan around them, making them feel that they tricked the AI, even if you design them so. That’s not even mentioning the weak upgrade system that provides very minor bonus, and the excess amount of money from doing missions which renders the financial woe of the gang more role playing than plot. The preparation for a mission should rely on cash more, making you having to load out your gang with munition, protective equipment, clothings, medicines, weapons and other expenses, so you would feel the pressure of earning making money, which will make every activity in the game part of the gameplay loop rather than as a “thing you can do”.
@@SunnyGaming3710 hell no. far from it. cliche after cliche, boring gameplay, clunky controls, horseriding is retarded, gunplay is shit, arthur only changes because he has tuberculosis lol. terrible game son. all about immersion but not alot of things are immersive. repetetive missions and strangers. 4 times you can meet this guy who was bitten by a snake. 4 fuckin times. foh
@@deathrager2404 you’re really bad at reviewing games. I cannot understand how you are able to even claim that there wasn’t anything redeeming about rdr2
Friend: "Why are you being nice to everyone? You're an outlaw." Me: "B-but I wanna help people!!" Friend: "Why? It's a game!?" Me: "BUT IN THE GAME I CAN ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE!"
MajWay Yeah i felt like that. Until i booted up bloodtrail for VR. I now stand and smile While my victim bleeds out. Just waiting to choke victims. I wish i could grab em’
You know, you CAN just use the in game clues to track animals without Eagle Eye. That mechanic is just to give people who aren't interested in hunting a quick/easy way to hunt.
Did he actually complain that they were too quick from a gameplay standard? I don't think he said that, only that they are unrealistically quick from real life standards.
I feel like there's some misunderstanding about the narrative of the game. It's not a case of 'Arthur Morgan is a good man in a bad situation', creating some kind of disconnect whenever the player goes on a rampage. The game, the narrative, and Arthur himself repeatedly point out that he's a bad man. They are outlaws. As in, outside the law. As in, criminals. They're all about killing and robbing to get by. And should the player go on random rampages there are even optional conversations in camp where Arthur will wonder just what the hell is wrong with himself. It's not a story of a good man in a bad situation, it's the story of a bad man who tries to do good with the time he has left in the end.
And honestly the game isn't even about Arthur. I feel like we're watching John become who he is, through the eyes of someone who impacted him the most.
@Evan Zarr Incorrect. There's many dialogue changes depending on honor. For example the old hag in guarma. High honor: He asks Dutch why he killed her. Low honor: He asks here if Dutch is okay. There's many dialogue changes with Arthur and the gang if you have low honor. Arthur admits he's as bad as Micah if you have low honor.
@Evan Zarr I think you misread my comment or only watched or played on a high honor playthrough. He asks Dutch if he is okay. Also, Arthur wanted to kill Bronte. He sided with him. Also, many things change in chapter 6 depending on honor. Like kicking out Leopold Strauss. If he has low honor, he kicks him out for wasting their time. If not, he kicks him out for going after a person who has no way of paying off the debt without dying.
@Evan Zarr Why would they spend time on more dialogue if that was the case? He doesn't act anything. He was just mad Dutch killed Bronte out of revenge when he said he wouldn't. Also, they're not going to make cutscenes for each honor level. They expect you to be from -3 to positive 3. You're just being pedantic now. If you played it, you missed out on a ton of things.
I just think the realism actually makes up for the gameplay mechanics. The realism and simpler mechanics make the game more approachable and extremely immersive even for the more inexperienced gamers.
Red dead was the first game ever to make me genuinely pause it and sit there and think for about 7 minutes .......wow this is absolutely beautiful the animation and textures are the best things I've ever god damn seen and the people who designed and made this definitely didn't get enough credit and recognision they deserved for all of this
Just started playing this game(I know I'm late) and even with all the strange design choices and occasionally lackluster gameplay, it is amazingly beautiful and immersive. i get lost playing it, and have no sense of the actual world around me(which is fine in small doses). i'm genuinely enthralled by it, and love it to bits.
i played the first mission once and stopped for months but when i finally git through the snow area i completed the main story in less than 2 weeks. it gets really good. i think most people dont give it time
@knight_561 I feel this. I've been going on a spree of rdr2. Now for me as a history enthusiast I love the game world. But the community seems to worship and adore Arthur. Which for me just felt like a passable character. Not bad, just incredibly mid and I was underwhelmed at the end. Based on what folks said I thought it would be a lot more hard hitting. In the end I just thought it was okay, but I could easily write something a lot more tear jerking and emotional.
@@hc1616 You are absolutly right. If you approach this game from a usual gamer perspective, most of the immersion does not work. To get the full experience out of this, you should not rush RD2. Fortunatly i started to play this game for the first time around april this year together with my wife. Because she is not a gamer, we approached RD2 from a different angle and choose a "slow and steady" playstyle. We played this game for around 115 hours over the course of five months. I enjoyed every minute of it and the end hit me really hard.
They did wouldn’t it wouldn’t be necessary since we have the game. Not even a movie would be needed at this point. We just wait till the ps8 and get a remaster
I was thinking about that the other day. It would be so fucking amazing if they wrote a book about the whole storyline of the red dead redemption series:)
What? The story is shit. Everything was shoved in at late chapter 4, Guarna was pointless, chapters 2 & 3 are literally 15 hours of filler. The first half of chapter 5 was pointless, and most of chapter 6 was just getting revenge on a bunch of people. The epilogue and chapter 1 are the only parts with a good story
Lol, this was one of the most boiler plate most generic western's I've ever seen its just longer thats it. It doesn't do anything that Westerns haven't been doing since like the late 60's and 70s when they got gritty. One episode of Deadwood is better than the entire length of this game. But really, games should stop trying to ape movies, and fit movie narrative structure into a medium that is interactive its just backwards thinking. If I wanted to watch a movie I'd go watch a movie, I like games because of the things they do that movies can't, and when you force narrative on an open world game you inevitable are going to run at odds with player choice.
Rockstar: How do we make sure they know Arthur is a bad guy? Satan: What if you made it so L2 withdraws the weapon, but only for .5 seconds inbetween making the player select dialogue options. Rockstar: What on earth does that teach them? Satan: I thought we were punishing.
There are 2 types of gamers. The type that sprints everywhere, blows through text dialog, occasionally skips cut scenes and treats NPCs like the meaningless bots they are. The gamer that treats the game-world as their virtual play place essentially. Then there is the type that take a more calm approach. they walk through towns and buildings, watch ALL cut-scenes, and treat the game-world and it's NPC's like it's a real thriving world with real people. If you are the latter type of gamer, RDR2 is a godsend. If you are the former type of gamer, RDR2 is a bit of a drag. I think that's really all there needs to be said.
Nick T how is it being visual a problem. And secondly it’s not a narrative it’s kinda true, if you see how much was put into the game that wasn’t needed to make it actually feel like 1899 southern America you can tell that it feels like a real world and a lot of what makes the real world the real world is the subtle things about it. So in short the first guy was right if you like to be immersed in a games world, then it’s a fucking godsend with all of the unnecessary detail put into it, and if you do not like that sort of thing you just will see it for what it is, unnecessary, granted unnecessary things aren’t bad
The latter is the main reason I love the Metro games, as well as STALKER, Dark Souls, etc. They're just so immersive. ...but sadly, I'm so far off the first type of gamer that I'm absolute shit at multiplayer PVP games.
Also just to say I do not agree with some of the minor flaws in the video. The hand to hand system being and afterthought makes sense considering 90% of the time your main damage dealer is going to be guns so I can forgive it for being simple. As for the whole not being able to reload the rifle out of cover, while not a major flaw is most certainly a flaw. As for the hunting system being stupid easy, well, how about you look directly at every song track of the animals of this video game, you can’t, because that would take way too fucking long, the hunting cannot work very effectively because the only way to actually look at all the tracks with even a modicum of efficiency would require you to actually be there, so in conclusion the medium simply doesn’t allow for better more realistic hunting, even Witcher 3 couldn’t devise a system that could do that
To answer some questions! I love this game, I am focusing on the bad simply because everyone has already gone to town on how good it is, similarly I think Fallout 76 is average (if it wasn't so ridiculously priced), with that I just focused on the good. I play without the map on occasionally, but I find the game isn't really designed to be played like this. Organic open world games are usually designed more like puzzle games, like Breath of the Wild and Fallout 2. In Red Dead Characters need to give more indication of what you are supposed to be doing so you can work it out, however they regularly just say "off you go" and I have no idea what they are on about. I believe if you give a game 100% no changes would improve it, for example I give FTL 100% because I wouldn't change anything about it. It's gameplay hangs in a very fine balance. It's frustrating and full of chance, but that's why it can surprise you even after playing it as much as I have I love Country Roads too OKAY I just heard it 1000 times when making my last video, I also have a bit of personal horror story relating to it, hahaaaa *cries* All I hope though is I made you laugh at least a little :) Thank you for watching everyone, you have completely changed my life.
My immediate impressions on seeing footage of RDR2 the first time were "WHY IS THERE STILL A FUCKING MINIMAP" and "WHY DOES ROCKSTAR STILL GIVE SPECIFIC ONSCREEN INSTRUCTIONS" So I'm glad we're on the same page.
It's also crazy how the compression in youtube does not do this game any justice. It looks 10 times as incredible when youre playing it for yourself. Especially on PC.
No, He's right, once you've made a pretty small incision the entire rabbit skin can be pulled off like a glove. Google it! EDIT - guy I was responding to deleted his comment.
@FERMINDAL That was kinda the point in a way the story is about the downfall of the gang and how Dutch went crazy and that only happened because of money and them fucking up and the feds constantly chasing after them if none of the money stuff or the fed stuff didn't happen then this story wouldn't have its main conflicts
@@coopah9437 Its a carbon copy of The Walking Dead's plot unfolding at its foundation. Settle, things go bad, move to a new place, repeat. But people will shit on Twd even I don't care about that show anymore, I didn't care for rdr2's story either.
@@brianmannion7097 TWD failed with that they have horrible character development RDR2's story uses it more intelligently and it just overall makes more sense they are a band of outlaws who have robbed many banks and messed with cornwall who is funding the pinkertons it only makes sense that the feds are continuously chasing them and the money thing was mainly because dutch was slowly losing his mind at that point
This is the only channel on UA-cam I have to slow down the videos to understand anything. You're the editing equivalent of someone who broke their space bar.
ROAMFOAM didn’t go to well for me since wearing even just a cloak would cause my health core to go down by like -15% it doesn’t look that bad but it just fucking drained.
i would hate if they removed all those tiny details i love them each and every one of them i wanted more of them like instead of a map in the menu arthur could pick up an actual map and draw with a pencil where he is currently and everytime you picked it up again he would have to use an eraser to remove the marker and draw a new one
Yeah I can't believe after all the bland open worlds we have been getting recently we get a game where there has been so much care and attention out into the details and people start shitting on that too
Thats one thing i love in Hollow Knight, you can't see where you are on the map unless you nerf yourself, is quite a genius way to make people read the map properly.
I only disliked one thing from Red Dead 2. After the first few hours I’d have a set weapon load out I enjoyed using. But some missions would either replace or force you to use certain weapons. Forcing you to play a certain way.
@@mettle4565 Yeah it's a shame. I got pretty attached to my shotty and pumping slugs into people. Idk why they decided to implement such an annoying linear play style for some missions.
I actually really enjoy all these little details. I'm willing to put up with the repetitive gameplay for the story, and also even if the way the missions work is basically the same every time, the missions themselves can be quite different(e.g. the Saint Denis bank robbery compared to breaking John out of prison, or firing a cannon at a warship on Guarma). The skinning especially is one I like. It allows me to go off and craft a saddle at the fence with the skin, then give the carcass to Pearson for the gang to eat.
"I'm willing to put up with the repetitive gameplay for the story".do you even hear yourself? At that point aren't you just watching a interactive movie with bad interactions and a good story? Why do people act like this is a good thing? Video games are supposed to put gameplay first and then story second not the other way around
Pretty sure not since after the Epilogue(8 years later) you can still find him and he says that he doesn't even remember what Gavin looks like and that he wasted his life looking for him
You are literally the funniest Game reviewer there is on this whole platform! You nearly killed me because all those jokes just kept coming and i didnt have any time to catch a break but at the same time you are making valid points and seeing this with a type of professional reviewing distance that none of the professional reviewers seem to have (looking at you IGN). I always look forward to seeing your videos and honestly i have watched all the "is An Absolute Nightmare" ones at least 6 times. I think this one was your best one yet! They just keep getting better and better.
Even something as basic as traversing the map takes 40 IRL minutes because your horse has asthma, and it can only be cured by brushing its hair for 2 IRL hours
yOu cAn fAst tRaVeL WiTh tHe cAmpSite! Yeah, even the fast travel system in this game is needlessly long and adds absolutely nothing to the experience apart from sheer frustration
@@EngagingOverImmersive i dont have to test it. rdr2 provides the perfect amount of stimulation. most games do wayyyy too much and that’s what you’re used to. idk why you expect a game set in 1899 to be fast paced
Succinct and accurate (I've never played so idk BUT i understand local news stations often pick screen shots from this game as their photo of the week. Like some kid takes photo of Purdy sunset and bam, it's 2nd runner up in Nat Geo amateur photo contest. That is how real this is or how fake IrL is)
I showed my churchy dad this game and he was having a really great time, until I noticed visible discomfort and realised I was busting Micah out of prison. Ooops. Yeah, there's murder in this game too, dad, not just hunting with Hosea and fishing with Kieran
Right!!?? I remember seeing a screenshot of Arthur, way back before the game came out, and he was wearing a big dark red bandana around his neck. That's one of the first things I looked for, my first visit to the general store.
Another thing is being able to close the jackets when you wear them, like Arthurs winter coat from opening of the game. I want to be able to do that with all the jackets
rdr2 isnt a game with the occassional cutcene like every VIDEO GAME should be. its the opposite. its a 60 buck movie. and its not an especially good or groundbreaking one either.
@@Chillnobody-vn3ohthis isn't even a joke. You could probably use a macro for most of this game to just hold the forward button and tap the button that makes you run and skip cutscenes
I've been playing 5 hours and the only thing i really feel weird about the game is the controls, i can't tell exactly why i don't like them but im 100% sure i don't like them at all, like if they are bad designed or something.

Well, I'd say Red Dead Redemption is an excellent game but not for its gameplay Since the very first cutscene, I've taken RDR2 as a storyteller, where you can shoot people and bunnies in the face but still a storyteller I'm not playing for adrenaline rush, intense gunfight nor accurate gameplay in general. I'm playing for manly crying about Arthur TB, wanting to skin Micah as fast as the other snakes, feeling free while riding my poney through the Grizzlies, you get the picture. And all these animations, all this immersive "pointlessness" are in par with this purpose, when I play Red Dead Redemption 2, I'm not myself sit on my couch playing a good video game, when I play red dead Redemption 2 I'm Arthur Morgan who struggle to fight for his family, his hopes, and himself
Couldn't agree more, I have never been so emotional about a story character's death and legacy more than Arthur Morgan's i genuinely cried. (i got the good ending) as my Arthur turned from somebody fighting to survive to someone fighting for what he believes in and becoming more honourable as he finds his own way in the wild world. Even john proposing with Mary's ring. Just made me so emotional, perhaps too much so. it's just an amazing story teller.
But the story sucks and just relies on milking characters from the first game. The story is not good, I really don't get why people think this story is good. It's barely a story, you just move around the map failing at being an outlaw. It's just a bunch of stuff happening.
If you don’t enjoy the missions telling you where exactly to go constantly you can turn off the minimap in settings and navigate solely by road signs and talking to strangers. I really wish the game had made this option more obvious because I didn’t even know it was possible on my first play through.
@@panduino2156 Well yeah, that's ... the point? Obviously without a minimap and having to go around using signs and word of mouth to get somewhere, it'll be hard to find it. Only do it if you wanna immerse yourself.
@@aname6794 that's on free roam, while playing missions it's hard to complete some missions because the game wants you to follow the stupid yellow line, among other things.
yea but the game isn't designed around it and often just says "hah wrong! reload the game" if you have any independent thought at all ( during missions)
I honestly don't know the point of this video. Is it pure comedy? Are the nitpicks supposed to be satire? It really doesn't make sense as a serious critique, but at the same time it also seems to take itself seriously. Just really confused what the takeaway was supposed to be.
TheEddagosp his criticisms are valid. The entire game is just a follow the yellow dot on the map adventure, there’s no character choice (yes the 2 endings but bareeeely).
@@ethanking640 But like, they're not though. Every single criticism can be easily put down. The game is significantly more than just the main story missions. The game is not linear, it's a meandering journey of distractions and side-quests and exploration of wild curiosities. As well for character choice, a wide variety of interactions can end however you want them to, even if they don't affect the overarching story. You can't change the end, but how you get there is a hell of a wild ride that's totally dependent on *you*. If all you're doing is following the yellow dot on the map, that's kind of on you.
The game's immersive story and incredibly dense open world is so great, that it's flaws stand out much more. The best type of issue both developers and gamers would rather have.

@@kittenwithmittens6200 It's a jail in a small town that Micah was locked up in
Imo I think Arthur Morgan is Rockstar's best character achievement. His moral compass is shaken and turned upside down several times, and while he claims to be just a dumb killer, he's quietly a talented artist and writer, and a thoughtful and worried man. He was raised on ideals that he saw his mentors turn away from, and it's in your hands whether he continues to follow their example or to make something better of himself. His past is the most intricate Rockstar has EVER devised for a character and so while you can try to call it narrative dissonance, even Arthur has a reason for when you're a bloodthirsty psychopath. He'll talk about it, saying he's angry all the time and he doesn't exactly know why, but how he thinks it's about the mess they're in. Arthur knows when he's killing without reason, and it just becomes a part of who he is if you choose to go that route.
That said, smoking through like 3 packs worth of cigarettes in a day to refill deadeye over and over is ridiculous.
Yeah exactly. That part where you kill an entire town was massively taken out of context here too. I mean Arthur is fucking furious afterwards and hates Micah even more for the rest of The game for making him do it.
With the novel you just wrote I have come to the conclusion that you are indeed like me. A virgin.
He’s not being 100% serious with the things he’s saying here. It’s hyperbole. For comedy. People are apparently very wound up about this game?

One of the moments that blew me away most in RDR2 was going into a theatre and watching a show. Seeing a gaslit stage play/animation through incredibly advanced graphics seems like it should be a pointless activity but for me it was something close to time travel. Somehow a different beast to playing Pacman as a minigame or dragging an accurately dressed cowboy through beautifully rendered mud, perfect though those experiences may be.
Same with npcs eating a whole meal bite by bite animated. Literally any random npc that eats somewhere.
I agree I though the shows were one of the coolest things my wife who is so anti games even she thought that was really awesome and that on the history of our whole relationship has she ever said that about any other games

And talk about your feelings, and as soon as Arthur said he was upset about killing animals for no reason and leaving their corpses willy nilly, I immediately felt bad about running over squirrels and accidentally hunting animals while my horse was already loaded up.

Yea yea but they could've put these resources into fun mechanics the game will use throughout the game and not into useless side content most will not see
@@caralho5237 It's the point of RDR2. You have to explore. Most details that make the game so alive are little things, dialogues, secondary stuff that you'd easily miss if you did just one playthrough or if you didn't give it time. If you like to rush a game and focus on a few major mechanics, it's just not for you, and it's fine that way. RDR2 is deeper. For me, it has to be taken as a span of time, something precious, unique, that you are given the opportunity to live. This game feels special because of this. It's not just a game, it's a little world of its own, and if you don't take your time, you will not find most of what makes it actually interesting.
@@caralho5237 if you don't care about side content it's fine but you should be aware that it's like not playing half of a game, this doesn't apply to RDT2 solely but to pretty much any game.
People put too little care in side content with the excuse of "no one cares about that" but side contents:
1. impact the game loop much more than the unqualified average joe can realize
2. are still an integral part of the game and are meant to be enjoyed along with the main game loop
3. games would be much more empty without then, regardless of wether you care about them or not. Imagine walking in Valentine and not being able to enter the cinema, go to the barber, or to the general store. Sure, you might not care about that, but cities would be much emptier this way regardless
Also the Bear movie was actually very obviously a metaphor about the gang. Watch it again while thinking about this and it will all be come clear
I like the shows in RDR2. It immerses you in the world by having you do every day common things that the people of that world would actually do. No one complained about the various TV channels in GTA V. I've watched nearly every show in GTA V. I love taking time away from the action, and spending a bit of time role playing or just getting lost in the realism of the world
Yes I agree that some people enjoy it in the way you do however many players don’t choose to do something they may see as a waste of time and money. Players do what they want. And yes red dead lends itself to being a Wild West life sim, many players don’t play it that way.

They don’t really get the guns right. There’s a lot of mistakes with them.
@@davidschneider9145 They changed the names of basically all of them, and had to make a few more distinct because the guns they're based on like Winchester and Henry repeaters are still being actively manufactured and their appearances are copyrighted. The Evan's repeater magazine was changed because the real version was a pain in the ass to reload, and the cap & ball pistols usually had swappable cylinders. I missed a few I'm sure.
@Steel
There are a couple of other mistakes. The Schofield should be the weakest of the revolvers because it had the weakest cartridge. They messed up some of the magazine capacities. For example, the Lancaster has 14 shots. I think it’s based on the 1866 Winchester, which holds 13 rounds plus one in the chamber. However, Arthur cycles the action before firing the first shot, which would indicate a magazine capacity of 14 rounds. But all of the mistakes are just minor details and don’t really make it less realistic.

Also every npc is SO standoffish and suspicious of others.

Gorgeous visually and technically astonishing but as actual video game it's tortue to play. Much more time riding horses than shooting a gun.
I started having fun with it when I started to think of it as a more of an outlaw cowboy simulation than just another open world video game. I mean you can do a lot of things which are not typically video gamey, like feeding and brushing your horse, putting effort to bond with your horse, and your horse can actually die if you're not careful. If you pet a Dog, he'll recognize you the next time you meet him.
Things like eating, drinking, smoking and sleeping regularly, maintaining your hair and beard length and style, cleaning your guns, cleaning yourself. You talk to people from your gang in campfires, listen to their stories, their past, sometimes get an item request from them which you can then complete, drink and dance with them, go hunting, fishing, play games with them. There are so many things which make you feel like a part of this living and breathing world, not like the world revolves around you and NPCs only exist to talk to you, all of them have their own lives and you just naturally interact with them. Random encounters with NPCs which can reward or punish you for being good, sometimes you're not even sure which one it'll be. It's almost like living a 2nd life.

@@fightingseapanda5516 Was just about to say that!
I don’t get why people still don’t get why many game reviewers have problems with Rockstar game design. I completely understand your point of view, that the immersive experience of riding on your horse for miles, looking at the spanning beautiful landscape, doing mundane things like brushing, feeding horse, gather materials, hunting, fishing, crafting gives that immersion factor of being a cowboy like no others. That’s enjoying the game your own way, role playing. That’s all fine and good, I’m glad rockstar understood their product.
However, as a game, a mix between a toy and art, their game design, or the toy mechanic part, is lacking. Open world games missions ideally should be more Deus Ex or at least Metal Gear 5. Simple objective with choices for the player to attempt. Rockstar shifted more heavily towards this as time goes by. It is understandable that making missions like that is complex and time consuming, but the argument is that, so is adding shitting horse or hours of voice acting and script writing. As it is, missions in Rockstar games are “cinematic experience” rather than a game. It’s a level where I feel it’s similar to walking simulator games. I’ll give a simple demonstration of what they could have done. Let’s say, the mission is to rescue a gang member from prison, you can provide the player with a few options. 1. ask a NPC that you helped in the past to swindle the law enforcers into releasing him. 2. Create a distraction using explosives or asking a gang member to fire their gun nearby, luring the sheriffs out so you can sneak in and blow the door open with explosive. 3. Go in gun blazing after preparing for an assault on the location. That’s the kind of options that the players should have. They don’t need to make too many assets for them as well if they focus on making the AI intuitive, so players can plan around them, making them feel that they tricked the AI, even if you design them so. That’s not even mentioning the weak upgrade system that provides very minor bonus, and the excess amount of money from doing missions which renders the financial woe of the gang more role playing than plot. The preparation for a mission should rely on cash more, making you having to load out your gang with munition, protective equipment, clothings, medicines, weapons and other expenses, so you would feel the pressure of earning making money, which will make every activity in the game part of the gameplay loop rather than as a “thing you can do”.

I feel like there's some misunderstanding about the narrative of the game. It's not a case of 'Arthur Morgan is a good man in a bad situation', creating some kind of disconnect whenever the player goes on a rampage. The game, the narrative, and Arthur himself repeatedly point out that he's a bad man. They are outlaws. As in, outside the law. As in, criminals.
They're all about killing and robbing to get by. And should the player go on random rampages there are even optional conversations in camp where Arthur will wonder just what the hell is wrong with himself. It's not a story of a good man in a bad situation, it's the story of a bad man who tries to do good with the time he has left in the end.
Man this guy doesn't even pay attention to the game. Like many Fanboys around addicted to battle royals.
And honestly the game isn't even about Arthur. I feel like we're watching John become who he is, through the eyes of someone who impacted him the most.
@Evan Zarr Incorrect. There's many dialogue changes depending on honor.
For example the old hag in guarma.
High honor: He asks Dutch why he killed her.
Low honor: He asks here if Dutch is okay.
There's many dialogue changes with Arthur and the gang if you have low honor. Arthur admits he's as bad as Micah if you have low honor.
@Evan Zarr I think you misread my comment or only watched or played on a high honor playthrough. He asks Dutch if he is okay. Also, Arthur wanted to kill Bronte. He sided with him. Also, many things change in chapter 6 depending on honor. Like kicking out Leopold Strauss. If he has low honor, he kicks him out for wasting their time. If not, he kicks him out for going after a person who has no way of paying off the debt without dying.
@Evan Zarr Why would they spend time on more dialogue if that was the case? He doesn't act anything. He was just mad Dutch killed Bronte out of revenge when he said he wouldn't. Also, they're not going to make cutscenes for each honor level. They expect you to be from -3 to positive 3. You're just being pedantic now. If you played it, you missed out on a ton of things.
I just think the realism actually makes up for the gameplay mechanics. The realism and simpler mechanics make the game more approachable and extremely immersive even for the more inexperienced gamers.

Just started playing this game(I know I'm late) and even with all the strange design choices and occasionally lackluster gameplay, it is amazingly beautiful and immersive. i get lost playing it, and have no sense of the actual world around me(which is fine in small doses). i'm genuinely enthralled by it, and love it to bits.
I can also recommend you to try playing the story mode in the first version of the game if you have it on disc. Some things were better working in 1.0
And don't forget to ENJOY every bit of it!
i played the first mission once and stopped for months but when i finally git through the snow area i completed the main story in less than 2 weeks. it gets really good. i think most people dont give it time
@knight_561 I feel this. I've been going on a spree of rdr2. Now for me as a history enthusiast I love the game world. But the community seems to worship and adore Arthur. Which for me just felt like a passable character. Not bad, just incredibly mid and I was underwhelmed at the end. Based on what folks said I thought it would be a lot more hard hitting. In the end I just thought it was okay, but I could easily write something a lot more tear jerking and emotional.
@@hc1616 You are absolutly right. If you approach this game from a usual gamer perspective, most of the immersion does not work. To get the full experience out of this, you should not rush RD2. Fortunatly i started to play this game for the first time around april this year together with my wife. Because she is not a gamer, we approached RD2 from a different angle and choose a "slow and steady" playstyle. We played this game for around 115 hours over the course of five months. I enjoyed every minute of it and the end hit me really hard.
If they made the RDR series into a book series or something, I'd be amazed.
They did wouldn’t it wouldn’t be necessary since we have the game. Not even a movie would be needed at this point. We just wait till the ps8 and get a remaster

Lol, this was one of the most boiler plate most generic western's I've ever seen its just longer thats it. It doesn't do anything that Westerns haven't been doing since like the late 60's and 70s when they got gritty. One episode of Deadwood is better than the entire length of this game.
But really, games should stop trying to ape movies, and fit movie narrative structure into a medium that is interactive its just backwards thinking. If I wanted to watch a movie I'd go watch a movie, I like games because of the things they do that movies can't, and when you force narrative on an open world game you inevitable are going to run at odds with player choice.
Rockstar: How do we make sure they know Arthur is a bad guy?
Satan: What if you made it so L2 withdraws the weapon, but only for .5 seconds inbetween making the player select dialogue options.

Satan: I thought we were punishing.
There are 2 types of gamers. The type that sprints everywhere, blows through text dialog, occasionally skips cut scenes and treats NPCs like the meaningless bots they are. The gamer that treats the game-world as their virtual play place essentially.
Then there is the type that take a more calm approach. they walk through towns and buildings, watch ALL cut-scenes, and treat the game-world and it's NPC's like it's a real thriving world with real people. If you are the latter type of gamer, RDR2 is a godsend. If you are the former type of gamer, RDR2 is a bit of a drag. I think that's really all there needs to be said.
Im a mix of both. I always watch all cutscenes but as soon as the story ends, i kill everyone i see.
Nick T how is it being visual a problem. And secondly it’s not a narrative it’s kinda true, if you see how much was put into the game that wasn’t needed to make it actually feel like 1899 southern America you can tell that it feels like a real world and a lot of what makes the real world the real world is the subtle things about it. So in short the first guy was right if you like to be immersed in a games world, then it’s a fucking godsend with all of the unnecessary detail put into it, and if you do not like that sort of thing you just will see it for what it is, unnecessary, granted unnecessary things aren’t bad
The latter is the main reason I love the Metro games, as well as STALKER, Dark Souls, etc. They're just so immersive.
...but sadly, I'm so far off the first type of gamer that I'm absolute shit at multiplayer PVP games.
Nick T well the player being a hand crank to keep the main characters story going could be said of many,many,many video games
Also just to say I do not agree with some of the minor flaws in the video. The hand to hand system being and afterthought makes sense considering 90% of the time your main damage dealer is going to be guns so I can forgive it for being simple. As for the whole not being able to reload the rifle out of cover, while not a major flaw is most certainly a flaw. As for the hunting system being stupid easy, well, how about you look directly at every song track of the animals of this video game, you can’t, because that would take way too fucking long, the hunting cannot work very effectively because the only way to actually look at all the tracks with even a modicum of efficiency would require you to actually be there, so in conclusion the medium simply doesn’t allow for better more realistic hunting, even Witcher 3 couldn’t devise a system that could do that
Yee (and I really, seriously, absolutely cannot stress this enough) *HAW*
Justin Y. Dude, your comments are gold
HAW YEE?

To answer some questions!
I love this game, I am focusing on the bad simply because everyone has already gone to town on how good it is, similarly I think Fallout 76 is average (if it wasn't so ridiculously priced), with that I just focused on the good.
I play without the map on occasionally, but I find the game isn't really designed to be played like this. Organic open world games are usually designed more like puzzle games, like Breath of the Wild and Fallout 2. In Red Dead Characters need to give more indication of what you are supposed to be doing so you can work it out, however they regularly just say "off you go" and I have no idea what they are on about.
I believe if you give a game 100% no changes would improve it, for example I give FTL 100% because I wouldn't change anything about it. It's gameplay hangs in a very fine balance. It's frustrating and full of chance, but that's why it can surprise you even after playing it as much as I have
I love Country Roads too OKAY I just heard it 1000 times when making my last video, I also have a bit of personal horror story relating to it, hahaaaa *cries*
All I hope though is I made you laugh at least a little :) Thank you for watching everyone, you have completely changed my life.

I actually really enjoy all these little details. I'm willing to put up with the repetitive gameplay for the story, and also even if the way the missions work is basically the same every time, the missions themselves can be quite different(e.g. the Saint Denis bank robbery compared to breaking John out of prison, or firing a cannon at a warship on Guarma). The skinning especially is one I like. It allows me to go off and craft a saddle at the fence with the skin, then give the carcass to Pearson for the gang to eat.

Well, I'd say Red Dead Redemption is an excellent game but not for its gameplay
Since the very first cutscene, I've taken RDR2 as a storyteller, where you can shoot people and bunnies in the face but still a storyteller
I'm not playing for adrenaline rush, intense gunfight nor accurate gameplay in general.
I'm playing for manly crying about Arthur TB, wanting to skin Micah as fast as the other snakes, feeling free while riding my poney through the Grizzlies, you get the picture.
And all these animations, all this immersive "pointlessness" are in par with this purpose, when I play Red Dead Redemption 2, I'm not myself sit on my couch playing a good video game, when I play red dead Redemption 2 I'm Arthur Morgan who struggle to fight for his family, his hopes, and himself
Couldn't agree more, I have never been so emotional about a story character's death and legacy more than Arthur Morgan's i genuinely cried. (i got the good ending) as my Arthur turned from somebody fighting to survive to someone fighting for what he believes in and becoming more honourable as he finds his own way in the wild world. Even john proposing with Mary's ring. Just made me so emotional, perhaps too much so. it's just an amazing story teller.
Meh.
Bro same except for me it’s Skyrim and I’m a Norse woman with a planet sized rack and a cheese addiction
But the story sucks and just relies on milking characters from the first game. The story is not good, I really don't get why people think this story is good. It's barely a story, you just move around the map failing at being an outlaw. It's just a bunch of stuff happening.
John Mirra it’s a prequel
If you don’t enjoy the missions telling you where exactly to go constantly you can turn off the minimap in settings and navigate solely by road signs and talking to strangers.

@@aname6794 that's on free roam, while playing missions it's hard to complete some missions because the game wants you to follow the stupid yellow line, among other things.
yea but the game isn't designed around it and often just says "hah wrong! reload the game" if you have any independent thought at all ( during missions)
Rabbits and squirrels are peelable. Pretty acurate, but I would do it a bit more carefully, so I dont ruin the pelt and scrush the bones.
This guy can't decide if he wants the game to be realistic or not
Who’s thia?
I honestly don't know the point of this video. Is it pure comedy? Are the nitpicks supposed to be satire? It really doesn't make sense as a serious critique, but at the same time it also seems to take itself seriously.
Just really confused what the takeaway was supposed to be.
I think rockstar is the one who has that problem.
TheEddagosp his criticisms are valid. The entire game is just a follow the yellow dot on the map adventure, there’s no character choice (yes the 2 endings but bareeeely).
@@ethanking640 But like, they're not though. Every single criticism can be easily put down.
The game is significantly more than just the main story missions. The game is not linear, it's a meandering journey of distractions and side-quests and exploration of wild curiosities. As well for character choice, a wide variety of interactions can end however you want them to, even if they don't affect the overarching story. You can't change the end, but how you get there is a hell of a wild ride that's totally dependent on *you*.
If all you're doing is following the yellow dot on the map, that's kind of on you.
Well the theatre is trying to be realistic for the times. Its not like they were watching HD videos in 1899.
Yeah, it's clearly treated as a sort of joke. You go in expecting effort, and get period shocked by it's awfulness.
his point of the theater is its not necessary.
The game's immersive story and incredibly dense open world is so great, that it's flaws stand out much more.
The best type of issue both developers and gamers would rather have.
Can the acrobatic be in your next video considering you’ve passed the 1M threshold and are surely wildly successful
