Gamers Reactions To Seeing What Happens To Sean In Red Dead Redemption 2 | Mixed Reactions 

And at this point is when the story gets depressing.

Its amazing how this game makes you care so much about what are essentially bad people. A testament to its inmaculate writing

a cool attention to detail on this scene, arthur stares at seans corpse in shock while micah instantly starts shooting and bill is trying to wrap his head around what just happened

That line about “is he dead? Ofcourse he’s dead! Look at him!” Really got to me in the moment.

Who else wants to forget about the whole plot of RDR2 and play it all over again

What makes Sean's death emotional is that it was completely unexpected and not dramatic. Even if we only had a short time to bond with his character, he was charismatic and memorable.

While kierans death was definitely the most brutal one seans just came out of nowhere and was so shocking i bet absolutely no one expected that

Actually, when you first start walking through the town at the start of the mission you will notice that the townspeople treat the gang completely differently in that they are all looking at you which is one of the ways the game is telling you that something terrible is about to happen.

Sean gets shot in the head. RU-vid: Gives me a advertisement about headache medicine

This was the point in the game where you realise anyone could just die at any point (aside from the characters in the first game, obviously)

5:07 dude had the quickest reaction time, you would've thought someone actually pulled a gun on him

Being an Irishman, I was happy to see this eejit as part of the gang, even if he was a bit of a stereotype, his humor and quick wit is typical of what you'd find with some of us here in Ireland. Some are dryballs, some are hyper to a fault, but nothing is meant by it. That's the joy of variety I suppose! 🤣 And yeah, I was fair salty when he died 🤣

Sean was a great character, if he hadn’t died he would of probably stood with Arthur and John in the end.

You gotta give it to Micah tho he was real quick on the draw when he immediatly got the guy who shot Sean, he's actually the only guy shooting back during that intro sequence

What is so incredible about that scene is how powerful the blast was.

4:13 "NOT THE LEPRECHAUN!" Best line 👏🤣

This part scared the shit out of me on my first playthrough. This game is a masterpiece

Rockstar is the only company that can kill off good characters without making it controversial

Sean was one of my favorite characters. Really sucked seeing him die so randomly.

Sean: *gets shot in the head Micah: "So anyway, I started blasting"

Can’t believe they killed Jacksepticeye, smfh

I hate Micah with a passion but i think he looks dope when he started killing everyone at the beginning

7:52 Micah: Is he dead? GoldGlove: OF COURSE HE’S FUCKING DEAD! Arthur: LOOK AT HIM, OF COURSE HE’S DEAD!

He left the group unexpectedly, a true Irish goodbye...

5:38 - my Dude is so shocked he reverts to native tongue.

I love how most everyone immediately blames Micah

I gasped so loud and almost fell out of my chair at Sean's death. He was such a fun character

Sean was one of the most annoying but loveliest characters in the game, I hope that in RDR3 we get more to know about him when he met Dutch for the first time.

Finally a reaction for Sean’s death, wonder if there will be one for Kieran.

I thought Kieran’s death was way worse. At least Sean didn’t see it coming.

"Without any warning or foreshadowing at all" well said, we all remember. None of us expected it

Sean: gets shot and killed by the Grays Everyone: why would Micah do this?

Sean : Guys the price of the PS5 IS- *Insert gunshot noise then the thud of a dead Irish man*

Man, I remember first playing this part through, I silently cried as I angrily shot at every enemy in sight. And the journal entry after made it hurt twice as bad.

I remember in my first playthrough, the sudden gunshot scared me so bad I looked away. I didn't even know Sean had died until the end of the fight was over. 😭

I love how everyone agrees that Sean was a good guy

it's so sad that all the characters that were Arthur's friends and that would be on Arthur's side in the final standoff, at the end of the game, get killed, Sean gets killed in Rhodes, in an ambush by the Grays, Hosea gets killed during the bank robbery in Saint Denis, Lenny also gets killed during the Saint Denis bank robbery, Kieran, even though they were not the best of friends at the beginning, later on they became pretty good friends, who got killed by the O'driscolls, Miss Grimshaw, shot by Micah right before the final standoff, and at the end only John was on his side. P.S. If Hosea lived, Dutch wouldn't start asking for advice from Micah, and ultimately, wouldn't get manipulated by him, and wouldn't go mad, like he did.

The brutal, sudden moment that set the tone for the depressing downfall the rest of the story would go on.

This death hit me hard, not only because Sean was one of my favourite gang member, but because I felt that all the characters were invincible, but after Sean got shot, I realised that any of the other gang members could as well

I love how fast Micah reacted pulled them guns out like a G

I actually got pissed when this happened. I started throwing dynamite at everyone, and intentionally failed just so i could kill them again. Sean and Lenny were my favorite side characters and it sucked when they died.

I still remember the genuine shock I felt the first time I played this mission. I knew SOMETHING was gonna happen, solely because there were no civilians around, and the men who WERE present were all watching us as we walked along. I knew an ambush was coming, but DAMN. 😥

When I started my first playthrough, and saw Sean's death for the first time, I didn't see it coming, it startled me, and I nearly fell out of my chair.

"It's Always Micah's Fault!" oh brother, if only you knew...

When Kieran died that, was probably the most disturbing thing I've ever witnessed.

“Say it ain’t so cuuuuh!” 💀💀😂😂 probably my favorite moment

Sean is my favourite and playing this mission killed my spirits

Sean's death hit me hard. As he was one of my favorite characters at this point and me being Irish I had a fun connection with him. When he gets shot I just went out in a full double revolver rage and just shot everyone like the 4th of July. I then had to stop playing for a bit to process Sean's death. Seriously depressed and wanted to strangle Micah even more.

This game shows that you in fact can kill off a character unexpectedly without pissing off every person that in any way respects the franchise

"It's always michas fault" Wise words

Nobody gonna talk about the triple headshot Micah got? Honestly really impressive

Probably the greatest game of our generation

James always has to spoil the plot lmao he guesses almost everything being right

4:13 bro really said leporcon💀

This is the moment where everything in this game CLICKED for me. The suddenness of Sean's death, the brutal gunfight that followed. Jack being kidnapped by the Braithwaites and then the BEST moment in the early game, the assault on Braithwaite manor. In my opinion this whole sequence is where the game REALLY picked up for me. For the whole first 3 chapters of this game your gang in on the down and out, plying for scraps. Everything that can go wrong HAS gone wrong. Things were finally looking up with how dumb the grays and braithwaites were. Then Sean is killed and jack is kidnapped. Members of your gang. Your FAMILY, gone. And Dutch is like FUCK. THIS. And for the first time in the game you TRULY feel like a gang of outlaws. That assault on braithwaite manor is just perfect. They took a member of your family, so you took them ALL.

Not gonna lie, after that mission, I went back to Rhodes and started to shoot up the whole time. Civilians, Animals, Lawmen. I was that sadden and pissed off over Sean's death, that I just wanted all of Rhodes, no matter the age, to just drop dead 🤬

Sean dies 5ITREAL85's reaction: "NOT THE LEPRECHAUN!"

Perfect, flawless response right there at 4:55 10/10

Sadness aside, Micah's sharpshooting skills are impressive in the cut scene

“Say it ain’t so cuh” 💀💀💀

"I coulda told ya tha- *sound of brain being blown open* "

Thank for putting that title, I was playing the game and I didn’t expect this AT ALL

I find it sad how the kindest of the gang were the ones that suffered most, Hosea, Sean, Charles. If things were a little different they'd still be around, and most certainly would have stood with Arthur, John and Susan

I'm so glad Beasty is being included in these reactions now.. he is easily my favorite RU-vidr and he deserves more recognition

when micah starts shooting everyone there..that's the only thing i liked about him..that scene i hate you Micah

Thank you for putting the title that way, instead of outright spoiling it for people. Mad respect!

2:58 OH MY GOODNESS

Sean in "first shall be last" It takes a whole army of bounty hunters to bring in sean maguire "A short walk in quiet town" The gray soldier did the 1 thing the bounty hunters couldn't do.

YES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO THIS FOR AGES!! THANK YOU!

I subbed up for you my man. Great job with your videos. I love the focus on emotional reactions. It's fresh.

Shaun’s death was so off guard I couldn’t even take in how crazy Micah is at shooting

No, Sean... it’s gonna be alright, I have a can of beans.

Ok guys, I understand that probably even this was Micha's fault but you have to admit it's so cool when he goes like kingsman mode and he kills something like three bad guys in a second. That's very cool. 4:20

Despite forgetting a lot about this game, this scene is one that sticks in my memory well, I barely remember Sean, but I remember thinking wow, this video game is really sending a message killing off characters like him that quickly. This mission really set a tone for the game that this is more than just a little video game and anyone can die at anytime.

I swear everytime when I see reactions like this, I imagine all the youtubers are together in a game during moments like this

Each death was shocking in its own way. Sean's was shocking because it came out of nowhere right as he was in the middle of a sentence. One second he was talking and the next he was dead. Kieran's wasn't shocking in that it happened. It was shocking because of how gruesome it was. Hosea's wasn't as shocking in the moment, but it was surprising because of how important he was in the gang and how early in the game it still was (chapter 4). Lenny's was shocking because it was out of nowhere and it didn't even get a cutscene, so a lot of players didn't even know he was dead at first and didn't realize that it was supposed to happen (they thought it was a mission failure). Molly's was shocking because we hadn't seen her in a while and then she came back and that all happened, plus it was shocking in that her death was caused by a gellow gang member. Grimshaw's death was shocking because she wasn't a fighting member of the gang and she was killed by a fellow gang member out of nowhere. Arthur's death wasn't shocking in that it happened, but it was surprising that they had him die from an illness rather than being killed in action. Micah's death was shocking in that Dutch appeared out of nowhere, shot him, and allowed John to finish him off.

When I saw this when I played this game it completely caught me off guard, I spent a solid couple of minutes just sitting in the pause menu trying to comprehend what just happened

4:33 When you're in such a frenzy and maddened that you want to kill everyone there, even Bill 😅

I love this mission. Not because of Sean dying that made me sad but how it gave us the feeling of chaos and how we csrn sit there scared and mourning but that we have to fight back and show aggression and strength and u can notice it in the way Arthur yells at sheriff gray “U put the gun down sheriff!” In the tone he did and it’s honestly the only time I have heard Arthur sound that angry

Darth Vader: Luke.. I am you father! Luke: 2:06

1:55 "iS hE dEaD"

I was both surprised and terrified when I saw Sean die, it came so unexpected and the fact his face turned all gray, with the church bell sound in the background, and the blood coming out off his face was just so crazy, sad, and terrifying all at the same time

Dude that triple kill from micah was awesome in the beggining

I was shook when this happened.

3:27 You can't lie Micah shooting that guy so fast was BADASS!

I was spoiled to most of the story before I got to this point but seeing aruthur tortured, losing my beloved horse, and then watching Sean die in 30 minutes killed me, I knew heading into that mission someone was gonna die but I got mixed up and thought it was Kieren, as I head Sean talk I slowly realized Bill and Micah were the only others and furiosly gunned down all of rhodes, that used to be my second valentine but now that's where I go to test new guns

Can we appreciate how the titles and start of the video doesn’t spoil the game for people who are playing or planning on playing?

Sean was my favorite character, sadly he’s the first to go

“WHY IS IT EVERY JOB I DO WITH YOU ENDS IN A PILE OF DEAD BODIES?!”

This was the first scene in a game where it actually scared the shit out of me and left me scarred for a couple minutes. It was like I was there because I was so attached to all the characters.

Notice how everyone who died throughout the story is everyone who would have stood alongside Arthur and John. Lenny, Sean, Maybe Kieran, Hosea…

I love how you avoid to give spoilers in the title, you're a legend

I can't stand people who rely so heavily on Dead Eye and use it on every enemy they see. They miss so many moments of the characters talking, and it just slows the gameplay so much. I get using it if you're about to die but when one dude is shooting at you?

"The cost of the PS5 is..." Someone blows my brains

I swear every time someone died I would pause the game and just try to process what happened. I was also in denial. When I saw Sean get shot I still thought that he might be alive because I absolutely loved him. Same with Kieran, Hosea, and Lenny.

1. *R.I.P* Shaun Maguire 2. This Scared and Shocked The S**t Out Of Me

this game gave me an uneasy feeling whenever we go into town wondering if someone is gonna get killed or not

Chris Smoove reaction had me rolling 'Say it ain't so, cuh'😂

Hearing the bell toll right as he's killed as well... its the little things that twist the knife.

This was so unexpected for me in my playthrough, I wish I could experience this game for the first time again
