This video didn’t have the whole parts, didn’t have every game I’ve played, but somehow it still made me remember all the moments that this wonderful medium gave to me... “Who are we who are so blessed as to share our stories like this? To speak across centuries” Thanks, man :’)
I was so invested into that game, after Arthur died I felt like I lost a part of myself. It took me weeks to recover and start playing the game again as John.
that part hit me more than his death. I knew he would die, but him being afraid and letting himself be vulnerable got to me so much, especially because I simpatize and emphatize with him
Absolutely cried my eyes out during the end. Got to meet Roger Clark and Rob Wiethoff in person too in August 2019 (as well as Ben Byron Davis who voiced Dutch and Alex McKenna who voiced Sadie Adler). They are genuine and amazing people.
_"We play _*_violent_*_ video games because we know _*_it's fake_*_ . Compared to the _*_violence in reality_*_ , its _*_comforting_*_ to _*_finish_*_ those games because there, the violence can _*_end_*_ "_
Nobody talks about telltale games enough. They have made some of the best games in my opinion. TWD, Sam and max, mc story mode, Batman, and the wolf among us. Absolutely 100% not talked about enough.

Arthur Morgan's death is probably one of the most touching and unique character arch's and deaths of all. May I, stand unshaken... Amidst the crashing world
Not just him, but also Dom. A man you got to grow to love for three games, for him to sacrifice himself, just so he can meet his wife again. With the raw emotion of Marcus, watching his pal die, the one he worked with for so long, makes sense why Marcus would seclude himself in Gears 4.
Not even just his death, but the events leading up to it. There are only two video game scenes that have made me cry like a baby: when Sarah gets shot at the beginning of the last of us and when Arthur’s horse died. And by the time arthur himself died I was already losing my shit.
I remember finishing red dead 2 for the first time and I took the honourable death and all of the time and bonding with the characters the missions the backstories going through the struggles of Arthur then looking at him watch the sunset as he died was the saddest shit I’ve ever seen
Well because we played as him, when John died in RDR it did feel similar. When companions in games die you get sad as well but not as sad as when the main character, that you were with the whole game, dies. (as long as it is a good written one, noone would give a shit about Abby from TLOU)
My mom used to play DonkeyKong on the Super Nintento laughing and jumping holding the controler. She passed away of cancer. Games can give you not only a good time but the joy of beeing alive even if you just press some buttons. You can be a Hero or an Monster in them but you still feel, something. I love you mom and thank you for playing DonkeyKong with me and introduce me to Video Games.
Your mother was a sweet and lovable person who never ceases to have good time. She left you with the greatest gift as you grow up, to always smile and have fun, becoming the best person you can ever be like she was to you, for someone else ❤
Dude,I literally just got back to GTA IV after all those years since it came out and I have to admit,that I kinda forgot how good the writing and the story were in this game. I actually think it might be that previously I wasn't keeping the proper attention to the story,therefore it kinda went over my head somehow,but now when I'm playing it again,I'm truly astonished
The whole final ride, when Arthur says Thank you to his horse as it’s dying, saying to Dutch “I gave you all I had” and then watching the sunrise. For me this game was a masterpiece and Arthur is one of the best written characters in gaming history.
I just ended rdr 2 and i just don't want to play it anymore after seeing Arthur die and i still can't believe he's dead 💔 I'm getting this werid feeling i don't know how to explain I've never been attached to a character like that.
Non gamers don't know what they're missing out on, it saddens me to know a lot of people still think video games are still in that pac man or donkey kong phase where it's just a fun time waster for kids; but games have evolved into a broad medium of storytelling and world building in ways movies or books wish they could make their audience connect to.
Video games, Books, and movies are all similar in at least one way, they're ways to waste time. At the end of the day, none of it is real, and yeah, it's just a video game. Just like other mediums of story telling, they merely draw you into the story, rather than have you directly participate in it. Sure, you're playing a game, but what you're really doing is just playing a story already written out for you. Think of it as like a more interactive tour. That's why I say to people that it's just a game. While it can make us feel emotions at the time of seeing a story that we're invested in, at the end of the day nothing you just played is worth being mad about, or worth being sad, happy, or whatever after the point of playing, because none of it is real, and it doesn't matter. This isn't referring to the quality of the story, but just the emotional content of the story itself. If a character dies, sure it's sad, but you're of course not going to mourn, it isn't a real person. You can just restart the game and play again, with all the consequences reversed.
I couldn't have said it better myself mate. Hopefully in the near future, everyone can come to appreciate and recognize the art of video games for its creatively compelling storytelling and uniquely design character developments.

The way kratos said "i know" fucking destroyed me. Imagine the amount of shit youd need to do to see Kratos breakdown and he was almost at his wits end.
0:12 already started it with my favorite scene from the witcher 3, i love that emotional side of Geralt, no amount of potions and mutagens were enough to strip him of his humanity, and all thanks to the exceptional love he has for Yen and Ciri, i like how both him and yen just consider themselves father and mother to Ciri even though they didn't give birth to her since witchers can't reproduce, but when you see the way he held her, and how Yen can't rest her eyes without Ciri, it shows how they not only consider her a their daughter but they somehow fully convinced each other that she is their daughter regardless of anything else... and all this story beces even better when you understand the things they went through before they met each other, Geralt's life was tasteless before he met them, Yen was hopeless, and ciri had idea what life is and why people around her even exist because she was yet to know what love is. I love the witcher, it's not all about swords and mosters, it's also about finding love and finding those people who makes your life meaningful.
@@jovon6791 This is a video... about powerful moments... in video games. That quote is referencing a powerful moment in a video game. Are you brain dead?
@@gamingshiba24 Yeah, Shin showed everyone that breaking the Bushido code was the best way to defeat the mongols. Because how cares about a stupid tradition when Japan's future is in danger?
@@usuariodesconocidoi people who have abided by it their entire lives. I would feel just the same shimura did if i considered my morals the "right" way to live and fight.
WITH THE POWER OF THE COMMENT SECTION. I SHALL BE REBORN IN ALL ETERNITY. KILL ME OVER AND OVER, JUST KNOW, AS LONG AS I READ THE COMMENT SECTION, I'LL NEVER TRUELY DIE
I've watched this video repeatedly, but every time I revisit it, I still experience goosebumps and tears well up in my eyes. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of a video.
Idk, i LOVE games but the best stories are in book, because you create an a perfect image of the things that are in the book. And the human thinking is eternal
@@AntonioGarcia-yb9mh but unless your imagination is beyond crazy, it cannot immerse you more than an experience that is fully visualized and crafted with music, voices and design
Had to pause halfway through, playing so many of these games and remembering every emotion I felt and reliving it was the most peaceful thing I have experienced, thank you
i still remember when my grandfather gave me the witcher wild hunt...i was overjoyed...when i play it i feel like an energy inside of me. The witcher wild hunt was the last gift he gave me and every time I play it I feel all the good times I spent with him. i miss you grandpa thank you for giving me hours and hours of fun as well as the good times i had with you.
@@oliverharrison6022 I think its in the mission "No, no and thrice, no" where you follow Anthony Foreman then when you catch him he will say that line in the cutscene
I called mine Michelle Obama because horse black I cried when she died :( but it's ok now because I called my white Arabian Melania trump :), kinda scared for her now cus I'm gutting her when I learn president bidens wife 😳
Arthur’s horse gets shot John: “Arthur we gotta go!” Arthur: “I know give me a minute.” Arthur to his horse: “Thank you” Had me tearing up, especially when you have the same horse throughout the whole game.
Wasn’t the same horse throughout but I met Hamish and I really connected and had fun with him so I was really sad about what happened but at least I got buell. I played the rest of the game with buell by my side so it really hit me at the end when he dies.
I was emotional over Sarah's death in The Last of Us 1, but arthur's hit harder, Sarah made me sob, Arthur's straight up broke my heart and had me ugly cry,
@@youroverts3948 Geralt?? Emotional?? A bland 90 yr old edge Lord who didn't hesitate to bang a skellige girl 1/4th of his age. No one tops Arthur Morgan, Joel & Ezio
The tears I want to cry are held back by the pain caused by the real world, how I wish I could go back, but then again, I want to stay to see what happens next
I work in a video game store. One day during the run up to Christmas I was putting some stock out on the shop floor, and this family with two kids begins to look at some games near where I was working. The husband is super enthuiastic and discussing with his wife about all these games they could get their kids for Christmas and how happy it would make them. This poor man's wife was considerably less positive. She says, loudly, "Oh no! I don't want them to spend all day on "idiot boxes!"". The reason I pointed out that she said it loudly, and so smugly, was because I swear to this day she was trying to inderectly throw shade at me and other staff, as if her way of having fun was oh so superior to ours. I didn't say anything to her because I quite like getting paid and having a job. However, to this day wish I could've. I wish she could just see this video, and then try and justify how these worlds that game developers create are any less of a masterpiece than her favourite movies. TL;DR - Fuck Karens, all my homies hate Karens!
We should enjoy what we enjoy, video games is another artistic and creative form of entertainment all ages can experience together. Doesn't matter what she thinks, its her lost she doesn't know the beauty of immersive storytelling.
I try not to play games as much anymore because to an extent I don't want to be at the end of my life and reflect back thinking I've spent most my life playing vidya but the stories these games tell me and the lessons they've taught me made me the man I am today Arthur Morgan's and John Marstons story in particular really showed me on what it is to be a good person ironically and try to live life the best you can because it can all end both suddenly and we all aren't gonna be young for long. We're all gonna get sick and die. Anyway the point I was trying to say is these games might be a waste of time if it's abused in my opinion I've gone through that and wasted my teens. But in the right balance these games will take you on a journey and will teach you alot about well life and you might take some good characteristics from our favorite characters and apply them to real life. Also the stories are super fucking good trumps tv and movie writing no show or movie has moved me more than vidya stories hell cod mw3 soaps death had me more cut than some of my favorite movie death scenes. Any way I won't disturb ya.
@@Bruce-mx6sj ive only been playing games for the last 3 months since I dont have to go to college and tbh, i dont feel like im wasting my life. I love playing games and enjoy them, why would be a waste of time do something that you actually like? life is short and long at the same time, so I try to play the most now cos theres gonna be a point in life that i wont be able to play games anymore. This is art and sure, there might be other things that I could do like learn how to cook a gourmet meal idk, but thing is, right now, i wanna be an Assasin running across egypt or a vigilante flying across gotham, or a gunslinger in the old west, not learning how to cook a stupid meal No mean to hate, just point out that games are awesome but shouldnt be played in excess
Number 15: Burger King foot lettuce. The last thing you'd want in your Burger King Burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce with the statement 'This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King.' Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three Minutes later at 11:50, Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. Five minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's 'Tell Us About Us' online form. The foot photo, otherwise known as Exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said 'Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired.' Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to eating our fast food in peace.
I achieved every ending. Heres a list of the saddest. 1. Help John high honor 2. Return for money low honor 3. Help John low honor 4. Return for money high honor.
@@lancer8325 You people are obviously are too dense to understand the concept of this video. God forbid I get attached to a well fleshed out video game character and get upset when they die only to get shit on because he/she ain't real. Guess what, still more likeable than you.
"we're more ghost than people" "we're thieves in a world that don't want us no more" "I guess... I'm afraid" "now go. It would... mean a lot to me, John." Arthur Morgan is the only character I have ever legitimately cried over.
Before Arthur got sick, rdr2 was full of joy and looting rooting whatever shooting, but after he got sick I was just worrying because I didn't want him to die :'(
@@matthijsw.4135 same tbh. on my second play through, I was actually surprised at how joyful the game was up until the last few chapters. it honestly is one the greatest games I have ever played, and I don't think I'll play one better for a while
I played the game knowing that Arthur is going to die and for some reason that made it all the worst for me. When he did something bad he always wrote in his book that he didn’t actually want to do it. The speech with the nun made me cry non-stop. Truly an amazing game.
@@matthijsw.4135 I started fixing all the bad i did when i found out he was sick, and i ended the game the best i can, a Deer, I needed to prove that ppl can change, I couldnt let the game remember my Arthur as a sick person, i needed it to remember him as a hero.
whole 5 minutes in the pure silence catching every word and every moment, taking microseconds to analyse each clip to remember the game, the emotions it gave me. awesome job, mate
Arthur's last ride and death actually made me cry when I never thought that a video game was capable of doing that, the game is an absolute masterpiece
After I became reliant on my horse when Arthur got rebuffed by TB I thought I would cry when he died. I didn’t and I was proud. Turns out he just broke my armor, and Arthur was a .44 to the chest.
@@stormyduude5153 then your thinking wrong, like I said it’s really an animation, and it never happened before, now if it was non fiction things would be different.
@@lancer8325 I'm not thinking wrong. I never said it was negative. I learnt things from this game about being a better person and it taught me a lot. And besides. These 'animations' are what I do, day in, day out. That's just how it is now. To me it isn't an animation no matter what you say.
I was sitting in my dark room at 2 am watching Arthur morgan die. He was not just a random video character, he was something more than that. I had tears in my eyes seeing him taking his last breath. Thank you Rockstar for this amazing experience 🙏 R.I.P Arthur Morgan.
@@atomicspartan131 Yeah I heard about that. I think I also heard that Kathleen Kennedy had something to do with the prospective project's cancellation. Either that or someone at EA, potentially Frank Gibeau (the guy who said singleplayer titles are "dead"). I can't remember. Whoever it was, screw 'em. In fact- screw the lot of them.
I don't think cod is a good campaign driven franchise and I believe it's edgy (get it) in the way the characters speak there all just operator stereotypes
@@abhishekjadhav4572 I think probably because you might have killed random people or opted not to help random people. And if you had chosen the money ending you might have got that bro.
when someone tells me "its just a game", my response will always be, "its kinda like crying at a sad scene in a movie, but worse, as its more personal"
