@@AdityaYT I don't think you get it lmao. He said "face me to the west" as in uhh.. "come at me, west" typa way. Not that he wanted to die looking west, that doesn't even make sense.
@@_xfuturetrunksx_ If you save john and have high honor, he faces towards the western direction as the sun sets. Which is perfect because in a dialogue with Hosea, he says “face me towards the west, so i can watch the setting sun and remember all the fine times we had that way”, he gets exactly what he wanted.
I remember as I got near the end, my friends (finished months before me, I take my time lol) encouraged me to get high honor before the end. I'm glad greeting people in saint Denis makes up for my acts of terrorism
I only just started in this January (I’ve been taking my sweet time) but I unfortunately already knew some key plot points (like Arthur’s TB and death) because, as usual, I was so late to the party 😓
I was really bummed after Arthur died but after finishing the game and seeing this cutscene and especially when John said "guess we're just 'bout done my friend" I felt a whole lot better
Rockstar gave us so much time to spend with Arthur, getting to know who he is, his struggles, and watching his story unfold before him. I was high honor Arthur and decided to help John escape and knew of what was coming but when I saw Arthur start taking his last breaths I started to bawl during the cutscene because it felt like watching a friend pass away. That's why, to me, Arthur Morgan is one of the best video game protagonist that's been written and acted. Edit: thanks guys for all the likes. I really do appreciate it. ☺️
@@sun290 what i kinda dislike is multiple times throwout the game you hat comes off during scripted events in areas you either cant or wouldn't go back too
I've played the story multiple times but always with high honor, and while there was never a deer around, there WAS an eagle perched on his headstone when I arrived. For curiosity's sake I aimed my gun at it, and instead of there being a red dot on the eagle, it was gray. So it can't be shot. Not that I was going to shoot it even if I could. But I just thought it was a nice touch, and that it wasn't just some random eagle there by chance. I took it as the spirit of Eagle Flies watching over him.
@DaCheeseChungler, I think it's more purposeful than just an oddity. I didn't notice it my first couple of playthroughs, but I did on the last two. I'm playing it again but I just started chapter 3, so I'm a ways off from that point. I'll see if it's there again. And if it is, then I'll go back to Beecher's Hope for a couple days, then go back and revisit Arthur's grave to see if it's there again, or if it's only there for that first visit to his grave.
In the feels with this one. I remember how bad i felt in RDR1 when they killed John but Arthurs death just hits differently and it’s definitely because in a way you grow with Arthur in the amount of years that passes in the game. R* may have fucked up with the online, but the main story is just a masterpiece. Arthur Morgan imo top 5 greatest video game characters/protagonist of all time.
I think they hit the mark perfectly with John's death. It's sad and uncomfortable. No music, the only sounds being the bullets shredding his body and his ragged breaths
I think John's death was sadder after properly knowing John, but it took RDR2 to really give him the personality he needed. Arthur's hit harder, but John's was more brutal. While Arthur slowly had everything taken from him, John was given everything, just to lose it. Just to get it back, just to lose it all again and it was sad to watch
The moment I saw my horse die and how gentle Arthur was when they parted ways I started to ball a little. Then, when Arthur died man it hit differently, at least my Arthur died watching the sunrise at the top of the mountain.
This is actually “Crash of Worlds” Unshaken is another piece, with the chorus containing the same lyrics and similar melody. It’s also a fantastic song. Check it out!
If Rockstar doesn’t do it at least I’m giving it a shot hahaha (plz do not cringe lol) *John arrives at Arthur’s grave some hours after accepting Killing Micah* John: ... I-I... Hello brother... sorry I’m not good with words...or speaking in general...just wanted to check out on you...we did it man, we finally found home, a decent job on the farm, enough money for Abigail wishes and Jack’s education and a big house for all of us, to make Abigail stop complaining about space, i don’t know for Uncle size however, I’m pretty sure from wherever you are you’re wondering just like me “how in the world is that old bastard alive”? well to be honest neither do I know, makes me lose control every time his mouth opens either the smell or words can’t really decide *laughs* and Jack too...he misses you a lot, but you know how he is, never good at showing how he really feels inside that cold heart he’s definitely a Marston... *sigh* still can’t believe you took my boy fishing without telling me, now I have the feeling I just make you laugh instead of making you feel bad *laughs* like I said I’m not good with words but I think I’m very good knowing you... And...just wanted to apologise, I know you told me not to look back or how revenge was a mistake but you knew just like me that with Micah still out there we would never stop thinking how much we lost because of him, Hosea, Lenny, Grimshaw...Dutch. I’m sorry, but from now on I just want to say that I’m taking my own road and I think I’m ready for all the things that will come out of it... And of course sorry... for, using your hat I hope you’re not mad I got it dirt or with bullets out of it, but I remembered that day and how safe I felt when you gave it to me, and using it again feeling that having you at my side made me face a whole damn army... Anyways...this is it I guess just wanted to say sorry and...thank you, thank you Arthur... without you I never think I could have find out who I wanted and need it to be for them and for me... *Leaves flowers* John: Goodbye Arthur...and wherever part up there you are...Thank You Brother *Rides off down the mountain as from the distance a cautious yet beautiful deer watches John leave*
@@luisenrique7240 I really appreciate you trying. However, the reason as to why those words haven't been spoken is because it's a general rule of thumb in writing that you need to show how a character feels instead of spelling it out. When you spell it out, it makes your audience feel like they're stupid, like they can't figure it out, when you just show it to them, through the character's grief, you tell it to them in a way that makes everyone understand it without verbal communication. It's like, communicating it to you in a non-verbal way. I'll let you choose which one you prefer.
Ionut Luchian Bro I read your comment and now I understand, I think it’s called Show Don’t Tell. I’ll take your review and try to improve on the next occasion, thanks
Assassins creed 4 Black Flag will fuck your world up if you haven’t played it through. It’s no RDR2 but if you don’t absolutely bawl at the end you’re not human
Man. I played RDR for the first time when RDR2 was still new. All my friends were talking about how good this story was and I just was blown away by everything. So much joy, tension, sorrow, anger and beauty all packed into one of the most fantastic games I've ever experienced!
it did for me as well. it was the stupid, 'suggested questions' section with all the drop down questions. it straight up shouldn't exist cos it spoils a lot
Man. I knew his death was coming, I began to cry for him when he began telling Rains Fall about himself and his condition. I began to cry so hard when his horse passed away bc I bonded with it fully and when Arthur wished it a good bye, I felt that in my heart. When Arthur finally passed away, I was heart broken. It truly felt like watching two great people in my life die in front of my eyes.. I was high honor Arthur, so it felt even more painful seeing him go. This game is a modern marvel of technology. To portray emotion the way this video game has done, is a feat very few things in life do. A true modern masterpiece Red Dead Redemption II is and will always be.
Same, I was crying pretty much through the whole last half of Ch. 6. I’d had the ending spoiled for me but it didn’t matter, it was still gut wrenching to play through it.
Thanks! It took me 107 hours and I loved every second of it, Red Dead Redemption 2 will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life (anyway I'm a girl!)
I remember getting this moment, sunrise and all. Turned the game off right after, I can’t think of a better place to stop, done everything I could, gave Arthur one last visit to thank him for the good times and watch the sunrise. Hell of a game.
This is what I love about games so much. People who create these games put a lot of effort and thought into this. We relate to the characters, their relationships, their lives, their struggles. Arthur in my opinion is one of the best, if not the best protagonist in any game I've ever played or seen. And that's the magic of the game. As a true gamer, I respect every single game and their developers for the effort and emotion they put in. Emotional indeed.
Dutch died at the bottom of the mountain. Arthur died at the top of one. Micah died on top of a mountain. Flaco Hernandez died near a cabin on a mountain.
I will never be able to complete this game. The main reason is that I dont have enough time nor patience. For those who have completed this game please tell me how it felt to get this last cutscene and what was going on through your head.
Arthur's death deeply touched me, I cried a lot and to this day I still think about it. I was at my second playthrough at the time of this video, I had already finished the game in 2018 but not 100% of it. So after 2 years I decided to start it all over again and to actually get to 100% because I felt like it was the right thing to do for me, since Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly became my favourite videogame ever. When I finally did it (it took me 107 hours) and when I got this cutscene I felt... relieved. It gave me the chance to come to terms with Arthur's death, something I wasn't able to do during my first playthrough. So instead of just feeling sadness like the first time, I felt deeply grateful for all the beautiful memories and the exciting adventure I got to live with Arthur. Getting to 100% was my way of saying thanks to him.
Complete all 107 story missions.Complete 10 Stranger mission strands .Complete five Bounty Hunter missions. Have 25 Chance Encounters. Survive a Gang Ambush. Clear out all Gang Hideouts This is all you need to get 100% in rdr2 story mode
Having never played the first RDR I didn't know what was going to happen. Seeing Arthur die was down right depressing. And when you take control of John in the epilogue, I wanted Arthur back!
When Arthur died, it really hit the softest spot in my heart, then when i played as John, the pain was relieved a bit, at least i got to play as my old hero once more
I’d recommend getting the first game, it’s writing and dialogue is much more grounded and in my opinion, better as a western themed game. That being said it’s much more straightforward with it’s tone and doesn’t have all the emotional ups and downs of rdr2 and there’s less spectacle and cartoonish parody. It’s a much more realistic, gritty, and depressing game with old rockstar’s witty and grounded writing style.
I had been playing RDR for near on 7 years before RDR2 came out and trust me, when I started playing as John it was a VERY bitter sweet moment. I grew to love Arthur and mourned his death, but it was a wave of joy for me to be back as John
I was playing in the living room, and when Arthur thanked his horse I teared up, (I'm 20, male) now I'm laughing stock for my 15 year old sister, but I'm not ashamed
I'm trying to cry but I can't. I just have a big, painful lump stuck in my throat. I am genuinely heart broken at this. Gosh, Arthur, I loved you so much.
I'm not saying that often, but seeing this scene for the first and second time I 100% completed the game was well worth it. And yes, even the Gambler challenges.
The best thing you can do in RDR2 once you finished it, is to go around and look for camps in the world, some people you are going to meet who r camping have fascinating stories to tell!
F in the chat for Arthur, Lenny, John, Hosea, Abigail, Grimshaw, including that nice odriscal. They stood loyal with Arthur but now they all are dead but some of his friends survived. May Sadie, Charles, and Jack live on.
Its even sadder when you return for the money because the last thing John told Arthur was “be safe” and the next time they meet is at Arthur his grave:(
its touching to me that dutch died at the bottom of a mountin and arthur died on top. meaning how he has become the bigger person wont be used wont be lied too. but to die an honerable man. unlike dutch who never stopped chasing a unknown path and his ego drove him off a cliff........literally. its very very poetic
Just started epilogue 1 but left a bunch not complete. I'm starting over because if I don't finish with 100% completion I'm feeling I will be doing Arthur a disservice. I teared up when he died!
He took out Arthur's journal, which means he probably read out every chapter which john wrote himself and letting arthur know everything's ok John's married and micahs dead.
I chose high honor Arthur because that’s who I truly believe Arthur would’ve been if we didn’t have a choice. Helped John get off the mountain, heck I choose to be high honor John in honor of Arthur
They really did amazing on the soundtrack for this game. Every time I hear that song I suddenly feel a tinge of sadness because I associate it with Arthur.
Ya know I kinda wish on his grave it said "Revenge is a fools game." so when john visits Arthur's grave he'll be reminded that he got him revenge even though he wouldn't want it.
when I killed Micah my expressions were really like when we see someone getting revenge in a movie I was shaking in full of anger and I was gnashing so much. I had never experienced this feeling of getting revenge in my life except in this game I was so attached to the Author's character I really cried for like half an hour when he died it is incredible how a game made us feel things we rarely experience truly in real life
you know theoretically if we get a rdr2 undead knightmare we could play as arthur again and he could be somewhat cured like john and could return and be with abigail and john
First time I played, I went to Arthur’s grave after killing micha and the sun started to rise as soon as I stopped at his grave like when Arthur died. It made me cry again ;-; this game is so emotional
Fun fact: In the beta of RDR2, Arthur's fate depended on you're honor level. If you had low honor, Micah would kill Arthur. If you had high honor, Thomas Downes would have most likely never coughed on Arthur. Meaning that he would have never got Tuberculosis, and the vice versa would happen. Meaning that Arthur would of killed Micah, and more then likely would set out to live a peaceful life. The reason why this was cut and changed to where Arthur dies no matter whether you're honorable or dishonorable, is more then likely because it made the storyline better. A story about a man who spent his whole life as a career outlaw, slowly forming into the good man he always said that he wasn't, while the gang that he loved, saw as family, and was loyal to for his whole life slowly started falling apart, who decided to use his final moment to make sure that his life-long best friend, would be safe. A story about a man who in his final moments tried to find... well... redemption.
Man, you're lying a lot for no reason, because that never happened. Arthur was a brand-new character, and to have emotional impact they made sure he didn't live off in some far off land to make sense that he wasn't mentioned in RDR1. He was going to die no matter what, and sure, some of the side characters lived, but it doesn't affect the continuation of the 1st game. A game change that large would have been too complicated and too underwhelming to develop. There would be no story because the whole turnaround is when he contracts TB from Downes. This is a fairytale projection that you've concocted.
