I'm 38 and can say that I feel basically the same, just nearly. The previous Red Dead Redemption made me feel similarly, but after playing this one it truly pales in comparison, but only for natural and obvious reasons. Playing Baldur's Gate 1 and Fallout 1 when I was 12 years old were my moments of recognizing artistic genius for the first time at an elevated level, and I've revisited those games numerous times over the years awaiting anything that could even remotely compare. A few have come around, but Red Dead 2 is the greatest game ever made and that is a conclusion I've come to over and over again, multiple times. It just excels in nearly every major regard that matters, but especially the open world and the way it is designed to give an impression of absolute frontier style freedom that over time is revealed to be an ever-diminishing quality. Roaming around a staggeringly realistic realization of a period none of us are old enough to even vaguely recall is an opportunity hitherto unknown, not to the extent this game offers. The constant bombardment of gorgeous cinematography, remarkable music, ingeniously established characters and their highs and low delivered through a novelesque narrative the player gets to determine much of the pace of coupled with the design of the world and its environs sets this game apart with no equals. Games like Stalker, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Morrowind, Baldur's Gate 2, the original Fallout or New Vegas, Cyberpunk 2077, are all games that I thoroughly enjoy playing and marvel at the artistic mastery involved in their creations. But only with Red Dead 2 and specifically as Arthur do I feel like I'm "living" another life, in another time. I'm not even very fond of Rockstar overall and I include the earlier periods when the minds ultimately responsible for this game were involved at the company in my opinion on it; Grand Theft Auto only ever appealed to me as spontaneous outbursts of senseless violence because I could never find myself caring enough about anybody or anything whatsoever to do with those games, and I've played them all starting with the original as a teenager. The last one I actually finished was San Andreas, and I could only stomach about half of the story of the last one before I gave up, despite several attempts at retrying. There whole gameplay design and creative philosophy just doesn't appeal to me very much, where even games like The Warriors and LA Noire I ultimately lost my enthusiasm early on for. And as wonderous as Red Dead Redemption is narratively, with one of the most memorable and gorgeous open worlds ever presented, the gamified nature of how you interact with everything does major harm in retrospect. Only with Red Dead 2 did they truly and absolutely deliver a genuine masterpiece from top to bottom, a landmark event in art history that will likely continue to reverberate for decades if not more, the way people today revere cinema or novels that defined not only a generation but altered the expectations people in general had on their respective mediums from then on. Despite being 5 years out now, I feel like we are on the whole still in something of an afterglow of sorts with this game, as nothing has approached it since but not enough time has gone by for the full impact of it to have been felt and established broadly. I revisit the game at least once per year after playing it the day it first came out on console; my last handful of play-throughs being on PC and occasionally on Steam Deck. It isn't even so much Arthur or John, or the fantastic narrative, or the points of interest that bring me back at this point, it is the sensation when reloading a game somewhere in Chapter 2 or 3 after not playing for a while and being immediately drowned in the overwhelming sounds of swirling cicada and bird song mingled with the movement of leather and buckles as my horse adjusts or swats at flies with its tail, a train rolling past out across the vast open Heartlands in the early morning hours, the distant snow capped and evergreen covered Grizzlies swimming in the shimmering haze of heat mirage distorting the entire horizon. The slow deliberateness to every movement Arthur makes, and the exceeding amount of visual and audible details surrounding you that seamlessly change with the territory, etc it is a profound triumph of human creativity the likes of which will almost certainly never be seen again, not in this form. The game is a once in a lifetime phenomenon, one that looking on from a distance in time seems almost impossible to believe could even have happened.

I bought RDR2 on Steam several years ago and it's just been sitting there in my Steam library. I finally started playing it last night. I'm taking it super slow and letting myself get immersed. It's definitely an extremely immersive game. Even activities as mundane as slowly walking around the Colter camp and making small talk with all the other gang members, and then spending a little bit of time with my horse; then sitting down in front of a fire, opening my satchel, and going through my inventory of stuff; etc. Even if you're doing things that are completely 'boring', it still sucks you in and makes you feel so invested in the experience.

@bugeyedcherry 5 месяцев назад

If you think stuff is immersive now, wait until Chapter 2. IMO it's when stuff really starts out, and is the best chapter of the game in the sense that everyone is happy and healthy. There's a lot more freedom with hunting, going to town, and the like. Have fun

@ctiniustin 5 месяцев назад

When I returned to play the game for the second time - I took it incredibly slow - like a person having a near death experience and then returning to his everyday life with a new found appreciation for the little things, the small things, the extraordinary things that are all around us - keep it up and take it slow 😇

@user-cq2dm9ec7f 5 месяцев назад

This game is not just a video game; it's a life lesson, in acceptance, integrity, in facing your own mortality and how you deal with it affects others around you. It implores you to experience the good man in a cruel world, or being a cruel man who follows the flow of the world around him. You can both play as BAD or GOOD man Arthur, and experience the consequences of your actions the way not all of us could have explored in real life. The world changes depend on your approach to it, as we all saw in our playthroughs.

This was one of my first completed games entering the gaming world and everything else pales in comparison emotionally. I'm on maybe my 10th playthrough now and entering chapter 6 already has me dreading my tears that will ultimately ensue. It's so beautifully tragic and striking. I want to do everything I can to keep Arthur alive in game. I live vicariously through him and connect my real life experiences to his. It's not just a game to me, but a life lesson, and almost reliving a past experience I'm nostalgic of as if I once lived back in 1899.

RDR2 is such a great game to waffle around in just doing nothing. I just play free roam in the epilogue (PC master race, I modded Arthur back into it lol) enjoying the surroundings, the random encounters, the stranger missions, hunting, fishing, exploring, trying out various mods which spice it up a little bit... it's a testament to the game that you can play it with literally no purpose than to just exist in it.

I was late to the party with RDR1, didnt play it until i was unemployed for a spell in 2018 aged 28. Later that year RDR2 was released. I bought it on release but didnt even get out of the prologue as i couldnt commit time to such a large game. For 2 years it languished on my shelf until 2020... when... i had a LOT more free time. Went from start to 90% completion and finishing the story mode within 2 weeks. I was pretty much sleeping, working or playing RDR2. Amazing game. Im 34, this was only 3.5 years ago but i feel like i have actual nostalgia for it already. My Arthur would wear red, had a bowler hat and a handlebar stash, so everyone elses cut scenes look wrong lol

I want to tell you why this video is one of the best I've seen, and justifies RU-vid as *THE* video essay platform in the best possible ways. Over the past month or so I've been pretty sick. One of the few ways I've found solace is by indulging my love for video games, and in the end as I filtered through my console libraries it just came down to playing _Red Dead Redemption II_ as a lot of others pale in comparison, good as they might be. The world got me hooked. When I clicked ▶ on this, I figured I already knew why any gamer should play RDR2, why it's great. Boy was I wrong! It turns out this video showed me a lot of the subtleties I'd missed, great moments of story and characterisation that tied the many arcs that run through it together. It also reminded me of how much I like Arthur and more than that why, how much the moments of emotional resonance (especially the Arthur and Sadie stuff) really ring out in a way most fiction - not just games, all fiction - cannot manage. Even more that that, it reminds us that when video games work it's because they combine several forms of art together seamlessly to make something deeply affecting - writing, acting, musicianship, artistry, technical excellence (in programming, sound design etc) and so on. I've added hundreds of hours to my saves on PS5 and Series X (they're at different points in the story - one is early in Chapter 2, the other Chapter 6 before the epilogue) and this might actually be something I can show to my girlfriend, whom things are strained with right now, so she can understand *why* this masterpiece, which required hundreds of thousands of people hours and some serious dollars too, has captivated me in ways it didn't when I first bought it on disc for PS4 in 2018. It hits this time around like it didn't originally then, and this video reminded me why, but beyond that taught me other ways of why I hadn't even considered. RDR2 might not have grossed the stupid amount of money GTA V has managed, however I consider it the greater achievement that built on and improved it's predecessor immeasurably, and Rockstar will struggle to top it even with GTA VI, a game I think gets to exist in a franchise that has been played out for over a decade, I'm sure. Long story short, this fine video deserves a *lotttt* more than 36K views it currently has - I think it should be in the millions. The writing is superb, the narration passionate and clear without distracting from the visuals, the editing is decent; all in all it is a very professional piece of work that the original content creator should be proud of. I believe it should be the go to video gamers share when they can't articulate why they love video games so much, so in a way it's the RDR2 of gaming related video essays. Even the main critique - the overly linear missions, one of the few things about the game I don't like as it clashes so extremely with the very free open world - was deftly handled and makes a nice counterpoint to "Rockstar's Game Design is Outdated" by NakeyJakey, something I'd recommend everyone watch after this if they haven't already. Thank you, Vicious TNT. Your work affected me in a lot of ways, and I appreciate that. New subscriber 👍🏻

Like a lot of ppl I was intimidated with its challenging and hard mechanics, long storyline also the fact that this was the most spec demanding game back then. Years passed by and I started seeing videos on YT and decided to finally play it in 2023 november. I literally took a day off cause I couldnt close the game, it was so interesting (even the long rides. Every character is memorable and fleshed out. Rockstar really outdid themselves with this one. In the end all I could say is that the ending with the sunrise with "Crash of worlds" playing in the background was the most powerful scene in all of gaming history. I literally cried like lost someone fr.

This game is the best story I have really ever experienced, not just from games, or movies, it’s just the best story I have every experienced period

Not that it is nessessary but i find myself really enjoying watching 310 to yuma after a big red dead session. There are little similarities even though they are vastly different stories. Just makes for a nice pairing. The main guy outlaw likes to draw and doodle in his journal like arthur. It features pinkertons, there is a guy like dutch who fancies dual wielding schofields. An indian guy that uses a rollingblock rifle very often. There is the building of railway crews that show up. And like arthur the main outlaw guy also has conflicting morals. Although not to the same extent and is far more lets say low honor for most of the time after all its only two hours versus 60 like this game lol but the ending shows a real different way of valuing whats important to him so its like a mini redemption arc as well sort of. Anyways i think its one of the better modern westerns and pairs really nice to this game.

Growing up on the PS1 and PS2 i had never experienced a game that could defeat my nostalgia and RDR2 did that. This has to be top3 best games of all time for me. Growing up to me there could be no games better than the uncharted games, the warriors, bully, GTA San Andreas, def jam, crash bandicoot games, tekken games, mortal combat etc. RDR brought me back to gaming as an adult during the pandemic. I had played RDR1 when i was in high school but its not as replayable as RDR2.

The second I finished the game I just knew it was a game I could play tons of times and get new things every time. While games like Fallout New Vegas which is just as good imo allow you to do anything you want and while RDR2 can be more limited in its linear story, RDR2 has more narrative weight as it feels like a story that occurred in real life

Well said 🙌

Warning, if you're all about characters and narrative, this game will ruin gaming for you. Well over 1000 hours in this game, and i haven't found a single game that even comes close since...

It's crazy I played rdr1 when it came out so I knew how shitty dutch was. And I still fell for his charisma my first playthrough

Regardless, with quality like this it won't be long till up in the millions... 🤠🍻 +1 subscriber

@jordanford9320 Месяц назад

Another thing Ive thought a lot about us rdr3 I think we should play as Dutch or Hosea right before they meet and then how the gang was in their "golden days" only to find out it's always been the same shit or something.

@anthonysolis4163 5 месяцев назад

I played Assassin's Creed Mirage and while it's a visual treat, the voice acting is incredibly dull with no effort to sound natural and the large open world is incredibly sparse with next to nothing to do in the desert. RDR2 has really set the bar high on what a open world game should be, especially since no two playthroughs are ever the same.

@ViciousTNT 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar decides to price double for GTA 6 since they are a level above the rest of AAA

Leaving aside the story itself, the open world sandbox itself is unprecedented for it’s time, the world of Rdr2 is alive and you don’t need me to tell you about all of the ‘rdr2 details’ or ‘cool npcs’ that has been published across youtube. It’s one of the few special open world roleplaying games where you feel compelled spend hundreds of hours just wandering. Although I’m not immersed in the older titles, most of the recent AAA titles are just cookie cutters where they’re all essentially the same thing aside from some famous examples alongide RDR2 like BG3 and Elden Ring. It’s to say that, when an AAA game works, it works absolute wonder. Indie games, while passionate, will find it nearly impossible to complete a game of such a grandscope; so I’m very happy the developers behind RDR2 gave it the love that it was given. It is a timeless modern masterpiece of a game that I won’t forget.

Check out Kingdom come if you like RDR2 only game that comes close.

This game is a paradox for me, I love the aesthetic and the story. Rockstar and the Dev team killed it in terms of story. The flip side, I have tried 3 times to play it and I never get more than 10 to 12 hours in because I get so bored.

@thehazyblob 5 месяцев назад

This is the problem with rdr2 great game but man does it keep the player on a tight leash . I got the feeling rockstar cared more about realism and immersion than fun and gameplay.
