Man i kept the horse hosea gives to us in the beginning, i named it Samson because of how big and strong he was, a tear dripped from the side of my eye when i saw him die there, i took care of him as best as i could, never had to reanimate him, seeing him laying on the ground... Hit hard
@@pacolozanogonzalez7551 dude, I was ready to pump mine full of revives and meds, didn’t even occur to me that he was gonna die. Came way out of left field.
@@Amarbobeski_yeah you are seriously fucking up so bad being here right now. get the fuck out and go enjoy the journey . Every one of us wishes we could experience it again for the first time, don’t ruin it for yourself. You really have no idea how lucky you are lol
The tears rolled for me when he left abigail and Sadie and the song “that’s the way it is” played, I cried that whole ride and between the song and the quotes from people he helped and had experiences with(high honor ending) it really brought me down.
Artur caracter was so perfectly written, the redeption motive at the end was also perfect. I was depressed for a week when I finish chapter 6. Couldn't eat proberly or enjoy anything. And I am not even joking, it felt like loosing a friend. The game is perfect and trully a masterpiece, an art and I am greatful I was able to experience it.
@@rizaneta508bro In all of my play through’s, my Arthur always ends up a bloodthirsty, heartless serial killer, I like the idea of trying to play an honorable game through but I don’t see that happening lol
It’s actually not that uncommon for actors to get this emotional, most non psychopaths struggle to replicate emotions flawlessly so actors will stir up emotions one way or another.
The song makes it really sad. When Arthur is riding back to camp after saving Abigail and that song starts playing, I immediately start crying. I've played RDR2 so many times now and I still cry on that part. The very first time I played it I had to hand the controller to my husband because I was crying so much I couldn't get through it. It's such a beautiful game❤❤❤
I was unfortunately spoiled by the internet long before I actually played the game for the first time (finished it last week). So going in I already knew Arthur would get sick with TB, that he would die at the end, and you'd play as John afterwards. Despite already knowing all that and then some, this games storytelling was so powerful that I stilled cried, I was an absolute wreck the moment the music kicked in while he rides his way back to camp. I had spent over 100 hours of gameplay before getting to that part, so when it came, it felt like I had to say goodbye to a friend, as corny as that sounds. I didn't want it to end. It genuinely effected my mood for the next couple days, shit I think i was experience grief. So yea this game was amazing. I don't even want to imagine how much worse I would of cried had I didn't know anything beforehand.
@soggypotato5332 I understand completely. I had no idea Arthur would die when I started playing and I could not get through the part when he is riding back to camp. It broke me and I also felt like I had lost a friend or even a family member when Arthur died. Even now after ive played it so many times i still cry and that shows how amazing this game is and Arthur!He actually became my favorite video game character! And RDR2 is a beautiful masterpiece! ❤
@@nunya_bizniz I personally enjoy online. it wasn't groundbreaking or anything but I jist enjoy messing around with my buddys after work. It reminds me of the GTA 4 online freemode
@@Bowling_Dude I have fun sure when it's not glitching and when no modders are there blowing me up randomly or spawning large boats into Valentine making my game go 5fps. Or, when too many players are close the animal spawns completely stop. Go to Emerald Ranch and see ZERO animals, not even birds in the sky. Oh, and when you report modders, your game closes and no report is sent...except to the cheater. He knows you reported him and now he might just be spiteful and follow you around and blow you up endlessly or spawn 8 cougars on you or maybe bears. Just saying, zero passion was put into the online part. It was rockstar's early attempts at pay to win monetization as a beta test for GTA 5 and beyond.
@@nunya_bizniz fair point. I don't play enough to really run into anything that crazy but I can see how someone who put in tons of hours would view it more negatively
@@nunya_biznizyeah the online for sure. But it's not like they decided to abandon it and not bring it to it's actual potential. R* have been full steam ahead post 2018 and are undoubtedly pouring everything and more, like rdr2, into GTA 6. R* aren't like these other AAA studios who just hire whoever for the sake of numbers and getting things done quickly. You see this with other Devs and the decline in quality overall in games today. R* actually keep their team the same largely, and work on actual quality, like this game showed and more. GTA 6 will not disappoint. I am sure they will come back to RDO once GTA 6 is said and done. They'll do more to it in a few yrs when they release the remastered/enhanced version for next gen. Have patience mate
Ah yes, I remember the good old days when video games had emotion. Playing Pac-Man and hitting level 256 made me cry my eyes out in the middle of the arcade.
Different for everyone but games have really hit that apex now of being just as emotional as any film. Ghost of Tsushima, death stranding and the last of us spring to mind
Fr, I can’t help but believe that Dutch wanted the best for his boys but told too many lies and made them his reality. Dutch is one of the earliest documented cases of borderline personality disorder LOL.
Especially *especially* in the low honor endings where Micah ends him and laughs about it. I imagine that sound playing out in Dutch’s head for the rest of his days
That scene hits so hard when Arthur says "I gave you all I had." Cause it's referenced a few times. First time I seen it was Molly's poem. Dutch says it to Arthur towards the end. "I never lied to you. I told you the truth. I gave you all I had!" Then, Arthur throws it back at him as his final words. This game was a masterpiece.
@@Castiel335 played both, GOW didn't deserve the goty. RDR2 if you really played you would understand that it got to the top n°1 AAA game that no game could be even close to archive the amount of content, lore and characters development in 1 journey
oh most certainly Arthur wouldve prepared watever he had up his sleeve to kill micah and really let him know "u screwed us over when we gave u a home micah.... and for wat?! money?! robbing the locals really becoming terrible outlaws with no moral compass?! the gang didnt need ya and dutch most certainly didnt need ya either... go to hell micah" and just caps him in the head
Fun fact: There's a poem in Dutchs' tent written by Molly about how she gave her whole life to him and every last line in each paragraph ends with "I've nothing left. I gave you all"
Its an incredible journey through old american history, fighting for your life and fighting for your family. Trying to live your days with honour and integrity. Thats not a game, thats an adult thing
No. Red Dead as a franchise is a masterpiece, now I’m calling it ricjt here right now, there will be an RDR3 and irs either gonna be continuing with Jack Marston, or it’s gonna before Blackwater happened and show us how we lead up to that, either way I’m beyond excited even if it’s a long ways from now, this was an amazing experience and I’m so thankful Rockstar gave something so many people agree on is the best, and most realistic game of all time
i feel like even if he did cry he would try to be quiet. in that moment i think he realized how big of a mistake he made and thats why he walked away from micah, if he had cried in front of them he wouldve shown remorse, wouldve acknowledged he was in the wrong and dutch is the kind of person who fully believes hes always right and doesnt admit his mistakes
It wasn't Arthurs death that got me because I knew it was coming but it was the ride back to camp for the last time that got me in tears because I knew it was his last ride and he knew what had to be done and I was crying saying "go get them Arthur"
For me it was escaping with John and the horse gets shot. They actually made us watch our horse die! On my first play through I had Buell, which I kept after completing Hamish's story. That was pretty damn sad as Hamish was the only real friend Arthur made outside of the gang and in my mind he gave him a window to see what a normal life looked like. On my second play through I went through the entire game with the horse you get right at the start at Adler Ranch. That boy went through everything with Arthur and when I realised that mission was coming up I just knew what was coming. Seeing Arthur say thank you this time around almost damn broke me.
@@2KXMKR i had this beautiful white horse my last playthru and before that final mission as Arthur i took the horse out to a beautiful field and spent time with her then took the saddle off and set her free. 😢
@@mrOGbobbyjohnson I still play it on the ps4. Best movie licensed game rockstar has done. The combat is the style of a gritty brawl in which I’ve never saw in a game. Honestly a fucking gem🤟🏼
@@Spurscoys1781 I have played it, I was looking forward to it if Im honest. repetitive story. The island part was ridiculous, the characters were all 2 dimensional. IMO I didn’t enjoy it took me 3 try’s to complete it. Rdr1 was amazing because it was original. Nothing like it before apart from maybe red dead revolver or GUN. It’s like gta 5, good detail and world building but terrible story and dialogue. Never had any attachment to the characters ATALL. Where as when John died in the first one I was just staring at my screen open mouthed for like 5 minutes afterwards. It felt like you’d worked for something and it was just ripped away from. Basically I went through the motions with rdr2, to complete it for the sake of it. As I said, cool world building and detail. Loved to camp in nice areas and take in the scenery. But that’s about it.
I’ve been gaming for 25 years, RDR2 is the only game that has ever made me cry like it did.. breaks my heart to know that it’s going to be another 10+ years at this rate until we see another one.
This is considered to be the greatest game because it didn't felt like an ordinary game, You feel what the characters felt. If this became a movie it would've have been one of the greatest movies filmed
Something about it just engrossed the player the way no other game does. Because it doesn’t just feel like you’re playing it. It feels like your LIVING it. Playing as Arthur makes you feel As if you step into the shoes of an actual human being for a few hours, and watching his story unfold is like watching a friend or something
@@krypticunlimited6925i agree, i remember when everyone had that night house party at the shady belle after finding jack and everyone got shit face faded, ngl i went grabbed a lil bottle of jack daniels and got drunk with em even though they were video game characters, it fealt like i was drinking with the homies lol
@@yuurrrrrrrr1 Joel was incredibly difficult to watch. I think with Arthur, you realize in the end it was the only way for his story to close. Joel wasn’t a good man either, but it seemed like he had more to do. Like it wasn’t his time, you know. I’ll always appreciate the story of the last of us and part 2. But I, like many other fans of the series, will never forgive naughty dog for what they did to Joel. Along with denying us our revenge in the end.
@@jackf1830 to be honest with you i started my tlou2 play through when it came out and finished it last month i stopped playing after joels death it was way to shocking for me the games AI weapons etc is goated but i cant even think about that scene because even after these years i stil shed a tear it felt like Glenn 2.0 i wasn't even mad i was just sad
Even this video gets me choked up.... Hearing the song... Seeing the scene.... I have thousands of hours, in multiple play throughs and I still sob like a child every time.... Even standing at Arthurs grave as John, I get the biggest lump in my throat and I literally cannot walk away... This game is an absolute masterpiece, I don't think will ever be beaten... And I love how the actors refer to the characters as themselves... "When *I* stood on his hand" and "I walked up this rake..." etc.... It shows how truly invested they were in the characters. Absolutely superb.
When i started rdr2 i was expecting it as an all out action game, but it was more emotional than I expected. A masterpiece I say, this is where my money spent was worth it
Imagine putting yourself in Dutch's headspace during that scene and acting through everything he was feeling. No wonder Ben cried his eyes out every take
You know you've hired the right actors for the part when they literally become the characters themselves 😭 they weren't portraying a fictional being, they were living life as Dutch, Micah and Arthur for the 10 odd years they spent making this masterpiece 😢 no words... Only tears
As players we attached to Arthur enough to cry in the end. Imagine the voice actors who spends YEARS recording thousands of voice lines for their characters for which they had to feel the emotions, feel the character deep inside themselves… This final was the end of their characters and for some of them, it was the end of a great adventure alongside their collegues at Rockstar’s
But they weren't just voice actors. They were physically acting out every scene like Benjamin just described here. They weren't just recording voice lines they literally had to become these characters
same here and i usally dont cry for or about anything but after so much time spent with arthur making sure i kept his honor up and do all the good i could yeah i cried so much that my girlfreind said whats wrong becasue i never cried around her so she didnt know why i was cring
I don’t know anyone that played the full story and didn’t cry when Arthur died. So many people were talking about it and I laughed at them. When I played it, it had me messed up for days 😂 I felt like I just lost a brother or something. This game is a true masterpiece
I finished that mission without crying,, then when the first epilogue mission rolled around I paused, put my computer to the side, and cried for a good few minutes. I think it just took a while for it to hit me.
I didn't cry, to be fair. Arthur went out fighting and swinging and I had more admiration for the guy than sadness for his loss. Like it all came to a perfect end. I couldn't cry. As for the horse... yeah that fucked me up
@@tookiwolfpaint5142 Absolutely. The same thing happened to me. Up until the last mission, I was in denial of Arthur's illness because - spoilers - I saw a gif of John in the Epilogue with a beard and I thought it was Arthur, so I convinced myself he wouldn't die. As the final mission happened, I finally came to terms with Arthur's death, but didn't cry. The moment the wagon rolled around & I took control of John, it hit me that I would never get to play as Arthur again and I just started... Bawling, for like a half hour or so. I had to set the game aside for a week or two. It also didn't help that I had just contracted Covid and felt like shit, so the possibility of my own death was evidently buried deep.
It really did feel like a full movie, this whole video game. I cried from the ride to the camp all through the credits after Arthur's death it was hard really
@@amortality999SunRISE. This mission took place in the early dawn hours, concluded at sunrise. Remember his earlier words. He didn't care how he went out, but relinquished that he should face the west, to the setting sun, so he can remember the old times running west with the gang. What Arthur got was the opposite. Facing the rising sun, toward a better future for someone else. A redemption from not caring to giving everything because he really did care.
@@vanspoorsveeplays357 I always thought that the sunrise part was weird. When Arthur gets back to beaver hollow, it was sunset and the rest of the mission didn’t seem that long for it to be sunrise. Did the mission go on for that long in universe or was Arthur just laying there alone me and alive for that long until sun came up? The mission made it seem like he died immediately after Dutch and Micah left.
First video game to make me cry. And more than once! That last ride playing "That's the way it is" hit hard too. Kinda sitting with Arthur knowing he was in his last days, losing all he thought mattered and deciding to make his last hours mean something good. Damn.
It doesn't help that it's a genuinely great song, too. The words are about Arthur reflecting on his life with the Van der Linde gang, and how he basically watched his family crumble to dust in front of him. Arthur Morgan is 100% the perfect example of a tragic hero.
The moment Dutch stepped on Arthur’s hand made me cry ngl…the only time I’ve ever ahd a tear roll out of my eye because of a movie/game.Truly a masterpiece…
I straight up mourned after this scene. I was already crying after my horse died. But after this scene, I was inconsolable for literal weeks. This one hit WAY harder than the first one. And the first one made me cry, too. I loved Arthur. By far my favorite character in the history of gaming.
The complete tragedy of it all is what makes this game series so incredible. It depicts the reality, joys, and consequences of a lifestyle. A way of life that truly existed for people all throughout history. Not just the Old West. Beautiful example of the human experience truly.
I think Dutch in that moment was purely crushed by the realisation that he was solely responsible for destroying everything he had. So many members of the gang died and it took Arthur for him to realise just how badly he messed up.
If the actor's feeling the emotions of the characters they play that's an impressive thing to be real effective as on the actor in real life sense it...
As far as I know, it's cause Micah saved Dutch's life. It's why he was allowed to join. After that, Micah became a snake that whispered in Dutch's ear about everyone else being a traitor, when it was Micah all along...
Honestly… I don’t think there was anything deep about it. That’s part of what made it so painful. Dutch was blinded by his own arrogance. Like when he kept thinking he was outsmarting Angelo Bronte, and got multiple gang members killed from his mistake. He took out his rage from being fooled by drowning the man and feeding him to an alligator. Micah from the very beginning of the game is a schmoozer to the higher-ups. He even tries to appeal to Arthur until he realizes it’s pointless (and when Arthur gets sick and he perceives him as weaker.) Micah did what Dutch wanted everyone to do: told him he was always right. And enabled his greed. From the first chapter Dutch expressed frustration with anyone who even suggested he was making the wrong decision. Micah saw that and took advantage of it. All he had to do was tell him what he wanted to hear… and that’s the saddest part.
There wasn’t much deep about it. It’s simple: Micah was Dutch’s yes man. He got in his ear and fondled his ego, constantly encouraging all the wrong things. He brought out the worst qualities in Dutch, and Dutch was too wrapped up in his own world to realize
Micah would do anything Dutch asked him to do because he simply didn't have any conscience at all. He was a yes man who would murder and kill without question. Arthur on the other hand would actually speak up and question orders if he thought something was wrong. He'd almost force Dutch to consider right and wrong which made their relationship much more strained at times.
agreed but now we know from the actor who voiced Dutch really got into his character his role to voice the man who cared for his gang like family only to treat it like they were tools in the end and seeing how Arthur was on deaths door (really close to it) Dutch couldnt fix the damage that was done but all he could do was walk away and start his own life instead
The fact this game ending brought so many people to tears, including myself, just shows the quality of the writing and the effort that rockstar put into developing this game. An absolute true masterpiece of the gaming world. The horse and Arthur’s both killed me inside and even the fact it brought the actors to tears just shows. RIP Arthur morgan and John marston, fuck Micah
It would’ve been great if they did use it. Dutch should’ve showed way more emotion while seeing Arthur dying. Arthur was his first “son” he taught Arthur everything.
this game felt like a movie to me, i had a protagonist that got me so invested in him, that seeing him go, made me cry the first time i played it, they took Arthur from us in a way, which is what mostly made us break down
When his trusty steed said his last goodbye as he laid on the floor after carrying arthur as far as he could.. i cried ... was angry fought micah... then cried again when arthur died... so so sad... the best game ive ever played.
Ciri from The Witcher 3, Arthur Morgan, Clive from Final Fantasy 16 and Noctis from Final Fantasy 15 are the only times I've ever cried from video games, ever.
This game not only made me cry because its so good but also because I wanted to help people like Arthur but I'm stuck in a bad job in a foreign land. Also now I cant listen that's the way it is without tearing
I would've loved to see dutch cry. He chose a guy he knew for a few months over a guy he knew for twenty years, and at the end of it he realized. Seeing the 15 year old he raised as if he were seeing him for the first time.
This os my favorite game of all time and Arthur feels like a real person playing through the game which makes it so much harder to see him go and I cry every time see it
