"You're my brother..." "I know. I know." is also pretty god damned stirring, especially if you have a brother (and especially if you don't always get along).
@@greedgod5827 does that count unused/untitled tracks that were left out or the different phrases 'n' phases that were cut out for the official soundtrack release? Because either way it all deserves some form of publication.
@@greedgod5827 Agreed. I've been going through the audio files in the PC version...there are so many songs that were way better than ones on the OST. Just found what I think is some sort of alternate version of Jim Milton Rides Again. I think it's better than the in-game one. I also found some sort of files that sound like they're from GTA...which seems odd.
The violins when Arthur desperately crawls toward the gun kill me every time. describes every players emotions at the very second desperately trying to kill Micah.
"Revenge is a fool's game" also said a great wise man known as Arthur Morgan multiple times during the game. And look what happens to John for choosing to go after Micah.
All y'all who keep saying "if Arthur had been healthy etc", Screw that. If Arthur had kept his satchel, what would Micah have done when they rolled off that cliff and Arthur pulled out his Viking Hatchet? *Dutch steps out* "This is ov-" *Arthur, wearing the cultist skull mask, buries the ax in Micah's forehead.* *Dutch backs away slowly* "I had a goddamn plan. . . "
I like how this song starts off weak then turns powerful and strong in the middle and by the end it slows down and becomes weak again almost to show how Arthur's strength is slowly disappearing as he continues to fights Micah.
@@rtmg591 Of course, the raw emotion in the violin of this song, the end of Arthur's story, the catharsis of a bad man deciding to use his last moments on Earth to do *something* good, something to be proud of.... to protect one kernel of goodness that he saw, his adoptive brother's wife and son... as Hosea says in Chapter 2, love is really all there is...
14:36 that is the sound of a man's soul pushing through every inch of the hardship of life thrown his way. The sound of a man trying. The sound of the man who came into the world to do the best he could and had to crawl on his hands and knees and being dealt the hand of wrong before he could reach what was right.
Goddamn, those sad, mournful violins at the end always bring tears to my eyes. This game touched me in so many ways and was truly a work of art. Thanks, Arthur, for all those good times we had together.
I knew he was done for as soon as he got the golden light descending on him and recollections of past comments as he makes one final ride back to Beaver Hollow to confront the gang, there was no way he was getting out of there alive
In the mission, you can see arthur morgan getting more and more tired each time, and we can see that bc when he climbs the mountain up to shoot some agents, you can see him almost falling over
@@rdsirc5078 it’s so god damn heartbreaking to see it happen to cause only a while back you could see him perfectly healthy but then you just see him tired
I love how this game is mature but then there’s those absolutely childish moments like bar mission when u get drunk with Lenny( can’t remember the name, Ik shaming) u walk into that room where there’s a pair of lennys going at it, and u can see there things
Everyone talks about this song as being "sad", hell nah. To me, this song is the most badass thing going. Makes me smile every time I hear it. Thinking of Arthur taking as many Pinkertons down with him as possible is just fucking awesome.
Hell yeah man, this song gets me pumped. Arthur went out like a badass saving the people he cared for and fought to the very end and this track conveys that so well
This song does kinda make you feel badass tho- it's my guilty pleasure to turn on the infinite ammo cheat, go to saint denis, play this on repeat, and go on a murderous rampage. I wouldn't use infinite ammo if I wasn't always spending Arthur/John's money on guns and then forget to buy ammo until after I've spent hundreds of dollars on gun customization and left the gun store.
- John looks off into the distance carrying his gun over his shoulder: symbolises his responsibility to his family and his gradual disillusionment with the gang and Dutch. - Javier stands in the back with his revolver drawn holding it to the side: chased from the place of his birth and stripped away from his heritage, he holds the one gun (the gang) as the final thing he won't allow to be taken from him. He remains in the back unwilling to depart from the direction the gang is heading, and serves to remind the gang members that fall behind the importance of belonging ("didn't that life we lead mean nothing to you?"). - Dutch looks on forward carrying the rifle over his shoulder: he carries the weight of the gang on his shoulders as the leader. He looks forward, as a visionary, the only path is forward no matter the cost. The left half of his face is covered in pitch blackness, which represents the creeping darkness that will eventually overwhelm him and turn him towards the 'left way'. It represents his blindness as a leader, and his inability to see the true devil on the left side of him. - Arthur stands in front with a rifle to his side: he is the shield of the gang, standing with broad stature ready to receive any threat head on. He would gladly die to protect any one of those he considers family. Guilt, regret and loneliness weigh upon just like the rifle that weighs downwards by his side. This inner turmoil however is often his greatest motivation, and weapon, for defending and sacrificing for those he owes his allegiance to ("all I cared about was loyalty"). - Bill looks on forward with the rifle covering his chest: loyal and unrelenting, follows Dutch and the gang forward and never questions. Bill is a broken man at heart, and he has since abandoned his self determination to confront and overcome his weakness. Instead, he covers his vulnerability with a long jacket and guards it closely with a rifle. The uneven brim of his hat can be seen as symbol for his damaged and lost state of being. - Micah looks to the left, his two guns drawn, one held downwards the other held upwards: he holds a falsehood in one hand, pointing upwards to feign sincerity. The other points downwards and conceals the horrid truth of his character. A two faced individual, the juxtaposition of the opposite pointing guns further indicates his warped state of morality ("That's all there is, living and dying"). Looking leftwards eludes to the classical Latin understanding of the devil being associated with the 'left way' (the word "sinister" is an old Latin word for "on the left side"). Furthermore, the upward and downward facing guns also represent the saying "As above, so below". The phrase has association with the devil and the occult, the imagery of which depicts Baphomet pointing one finger up and the other down. The saying is hermetic in origin however, contained within the Tabula Smaragdina, composed between c. 200 and c.800; a scripture seminal to the works of both Arabic and European natural philosophers. The quote itself defines the cosmic principle of 'correspondence', the idea that the functioning of the heavens (finger up) mirrors life on Earth (finger down), and that human life is subject to and intertwined within a grand spiritual cosmos. This is a general principle of magik and occult philosophy. In a religious sense, this would mean human beings reflect, and are a part of, the perfect form of god. But occultism places the devil at the centre of this relationship instead. In the theological narrative, the devil was cast down from the heavens, but he retained intense admiration of the angelic order and a detailed understanding of the perfect and pure state of the heavens, having once been a devoted servant of it. The devil's ultimate goal then is to duplicate the greatness of the higher plane onto the material plane, and manifest a distorted version of paradise here on earth in defiance of god (hence, this is a distortion of as ABOVE, so BELOW). - Charles can be observed walking side on with his shotgun in hand. He is obscured slightly by a shadow: reserved and concealed, but also incredibly strong and deadly; all of which is reflected by the sawed of shotgun he favors. Charles's Native American heritage has attuned within him a naturalistic and harmonic understanding of the world and morality. This often weighs upon Charles as he leads the lifestyle of a gang member. His side on walk indicates this inner conflict of belonging, walking the between of two ways of life and being unable to settle either way. His shadowed portraiture shows that it is indeed impossible to be two people at once. But he will eventually find it within himself to travel a straight path to capture his destiny. The setting sun: the final days of the Wild west draw near. It is now visible to all (whether they accept it or not) that they walk upon a world that neither needs nor wants them. The gang brandish their weaponry and stand together to face the shadows of the setting sun. The sloping ground beneath them indicates morality. Each of the gang members stand upon it to symbolise that nobody is above the scales of morality, nobody can escape the consequences owed to them ("People don't forget. Nothing gets forgiven"). However, it is Arthur, standing at the centre, who will face the most significant trials of all. RDR2 is at heart a tale of morality. Who are the good and bad guys, the lawmen that dictate and enforce what is right and wrong for civilisation (the federal government and the Pinkertons), or the outlaw that rebels against the tyranny to preserve his way of life (the gang)? Is it truly righteous to fight a hopeless war to the bitter end, and should ultimate victory be the sacrifice of the principals and the people who made you family? What really is betrayal? To travel down the slope, one finds themselves descending very rapidly into evil as temptation after temptation becomes easier and easier to succumb to. To travel up the slope is always the harder and more arduous task, requiring all the strength of one's spirit to resist temptation and remain steadfast up the path. But only true fulfilment is found at the top of the slope, only dishonour is found at the very bottom. Placing both the slope and the setting sun into context, we find the truth of Arthur's story. It's his race against the setting sun: "and all you can do now is decide the man you wanna be, for the time you have left." And alas, Arthur's story will end either below or atop the slope of a mountain.
This game felt real, like every character was a living breathing monument to film and writing. It played out like a highly cinematic film and the writing read like a classic western without all the contrived plot schemes. Every character was a living breathing human, and when they die, you feel it. Even when the ones you hated died, you still felt a punch to your gut knowing this character is gone, for better or worse. Playing through this game felt distinct, and real. It felt like a mirror to the world in 1899, but also a window into fantasy and imagination. This is all complemented by the subtle, beautiful score, which chimes in at the perfect moment. If you chose the "go for the money" ending you hear something kinda similar to this song. Arthur trudges through the blackened woods with Pinkertons in pursuit, revolver in hand, shouting to kill Micah and avenge everyone the rat got killed. Arthur is dying, and weak with every step. Both the player and Arthur know this, but he isn't slowed down. He stood taller and stronger than ever before, truly unshaken. He nearly defeats Micah in either ending, but he is tragically killed, only because he was too weakened by a sickness he contracted as retribution for his previous sins. He is survived by John who years later avenges Arthur to yet another masterpiece of music, ("American Venom") and is assisted in the vengeance by Dutch, the man Micah drove mad. Micah has no comeback, at least not a clever one, before he topples lifeless into the white snow.
"I'm gonna get you out of this *bullshit* if it is the *last* *goddamn* *thing* *i* *do* !" This song, the "Help John get to safety" it's a beautiful song that tells the story of a man who's capable of leave behind old disputes and anger in order to make sure the persons he loves the most get the second chance in life that he couldn't have, even the innavoidable fact that he's going to die doesn't push him back, because from the moment John escaped that cliff Arthur was at peace, and no matter what happened next, he got what he wanted, and now he was able to move on with no regrets. "Dutch. Micah... *come* *and* *get* *me* *you* *bastards* ! " The other song, the "Come back for the money" track tells a different but equally powerful story this time we have a man that still cares about the pending bussines with the persons that lead his love ones into demise. Thrusting John will get to safety anyways, he proceeds to turn around and unleash his fury on the ones who dammaged him as he walks into the woods, he knows that a corpse can´t use the money anyways, but wherever the money is, the rat that betrayed him will be there too, and that's exactly what he's looking for. Personally i think both endings are awesome and both of them are believable, this includes all of their High/Low Honor variations,, and i love how the Low Honor Come Back for the Money ending has a tense violin music in the background while your'e confronting Dutch (none of the other endings has music during the actual dialogue between Micah, Dutch and Arthur) it really feels like Dutch it's containing himself with all of his being from snapping and kill Micah in this ending in particular. Still, my favorite ending is the "Help John get to Safety" one with high honor, even tho getting shot in the face by Micah is cool the High Honor version it's WAY more fitting to Arthur's character, and i believe this is by far the cannon ending. I would rank all of Arthur's endings with: 1. High Honor - Help John. (My personal favorite) 2. Low Honor - Go Back for the Money. 3. Low Honor - Help John. 4. High Honor- Go Back for the Money. (Still good, but my least favorite)
@@RodrigoLRDR I agree. In comparison to the low honor variant it feels partly incomplete with the lack of dramatic violin in the background, less dialogue, less impactful farewell from Dutch, and the kind of... weird sunrise you get. But at least you scar Micah in your final moments.
it really depends of how you played the game imo, i played my second run as a proper outlaw, finished chapter 1 with already maxed negative honour i think, then, in chapter 6 i started to do every piece of content aside story and pretty much rank up that honor enough to get neutral, but i still kinda needed the money so i did my fair share of robbery and murder from time to time. after this whole dilemma with how i wanted to finish the game, The High honor- go back for the money feels so good because in my mind, i played it more like Arthur knowing that his road is going to end very soon but still want to do the right thing, but even in the face of death, he still falls down on his most basic instinct,which encapsulate pretty well the rage on the going back for the money ending since the whole thing plays out like a man with nothing to lose, wanting to draw the heat out of marston so he can escape, wanting the money so the marston family can get to safety and just making sure that Micah would never hurt anyone ever again. imo, the problem with that ending is that the voice lines are pretty much the same aside how it ends, for me, High honor going back for the money could be a lot better if Arthur just says that he is going to try to draw the attention of both Dutch and the pinkertons, and try to prevent the money to fall on anyone hands. i love the high honor help john, but its far too good for Arthur, and lets be honest, even if he become a better person on his last days, that doesn't mean that he is a good person... and he clearly deserved to die as he lived, Savagely.
It's funny how even though Dutch had thoroughly betrayed the two men he had practically raised, he couldn't bring himself to finish the job, and it was obvious. Looking at both of them while they pleaded with Dutch to turn back, he was confused and even scared. During Arthur's final moments, he struggled to even join Micah. It's possible that if Micah had never been involved, and Dutch kept his head screwed on, things might have ended differently.
I believe dutch was always egocentric and bad, cause he felt a great resentment against society for being poor, and alone, basicaly a wounded animal, but with hossea, john and arthur he felt emphaty, you know? He feels a conection to the world, all words were empty, cause he dont believe in change or revolution, he believes in survive, and in the end the only true about durch van der lin, was his love for his family, a weird and complex kind of love
I feel that if Micah wasn't here, the gang will live longer but the separation is still inevitable. Remember Dutch has all the blackwater money in the cave, he doesn't need money at all during all this time. Another thing is when they went to Guarma, it is as similar to Tahiti as you can be, and Dutch still wanted to leave. Dutch just wants to stay in the U.S and create more chaos as an outlaw, which is not going to happen forever as the wild west is slowly tamed
I can't explain it, but something about this song really exemplifies the entirety of this game. It feels tragic, and triumphant at the same time. It's like you can feel the weight of all those we've lost on our journey, all those who have betrayed us. And the high notes are pushing through the sadder notes, desperately clawing their way to the top, just like Arthur taking John to the mountain. Just so there can be atleast _one_ good thing that came out of this heartbreaking tale of a hero who gave everything, and received nothing except for the notion that maybe he died a good man
It's been about a year or two since I last properly played Red Dead Redemption 2. But I still think about it almost every day at least once, that's how I know it's a truly special experience.
In my first time playing this game, the first sound at 0:00 ... I already knew the end was here. I already could tell that this is where John and Arthur have to have the last ride of their lives together
Just think.. Arthur's lungs were basically swiss cheese at this point of the story and he still managed to give Micah as hard of a fight as he did.. this man earned his redemption.
Fuck in retrospect when i think of reflecting on all the hours i spent with the Dutch Van Der Lind gang, it really sends me into an emotional roller coaster and I tear up and begin to cry. Over a game. About people. That don't exist. This is how you craft a masterpiece.
@ProGamer Er...no offense to y'all but the PC wasn't limited to just that. You get a game that runs and looks miles better. I've played both versions and the PC version ( if you've got the hardware) is a real treat. You get higher frame rates everywhere- especially the towns and that was a pretty big deal for me atleast and with the latest dlss update it runs even better. All those additional graphics settings means you can tweak them however you like. The greatest advantage is the ability to mod the game. I used the John Marston restoration project which restored John's original appearance and added several details from the original Red Dead - it was simply incredible and made the epilogue feel so much better.
*Arthur is Rockstar's bravest and strongest protagonist. The man managed to fight, kill several dangerous men and animals, faced gunmen, and managed to face Micah with tuberculosis. He had nothing to lose, and that was enough for him not to fear death.*
8:03 I don’t know why but during that part of the track, I have a few words flooding my mind. “I love my family” and “You are actually kind”. One being Arthur’s voice, the other being the universe (and song) telling him “You were actually a good person. Don’t worry about your past mistakes, you can now die as who you really are. Doing what truly matters to you.” Like the universe forgives him. Beautiful ❤
Don't forget the moment Authur has with his horse. Both high honor and low honor outcomes are the same. For a cowboy/outlaw their horse was their life, they took care of the horse and their horse would care of them. Authur going back to say goodbye while under gunfire shows how much he cared for his horse. I didn't cry at the end of rdr2 when Authur dies. But I did cry when he was saying goodbye to his horse. It really shows who he became at the end of the game and it was sad in that moment to realize that this was the end. Horse dies = Authur dies. It's the symbology
This theme has so much heroics and dispare thrown in. The ubeat sounds focus on Authurs finial fight, getting to be the hero instead of the villain and he's going to fight like hell. But the violens come in and bring dispare, you know what's coming you know this is it.
I love this game, both of the Red Dead games actually. They're by far my most favorite games ever and I don't think I will ever forget them. I loved the story just so god dang much and it's such a good one I don't think I ever CAN forget it! I'm so so happy that these games exist, and I'm even happier that my dad showed me the trailer for the second game. I thought it was cool when I first saw it, but I figured I'd only watch my dad play it. But then I decided to try it out and I've beaten it 5 times now lol. It's truly a beautiful game with beautiful graphics, music and most of all, a beautiful story! I'm definitely excited to see if more games come out. I will wait 10 years if I have to for another great game!
Me too. Especially the symbolism in it. Dutch kept wanting to go back for money, or keep trying to get more money- putting the lives of his group in danger. This one last time, Arthur, chose to do the right thing for once in the gang. And that was to finally prioritize their lives over the money, which sadly in this case, Arthur had to sacrifice his own.
Arthur was a bad man to many, but a hero to us. As the player, we watched a man who brutally murdered hundreds of people and still felt anguish and sorrow for Arthur. The Pinkertons were doing their job of catching criminals but we, we were fighting an emotional roller coaster. How come this can happen, Rockstar can make us feel sad for a wanted criminal. They truly put out a masterpiece of a game, and one that will be rivalled for decades to come. Playing this for the first time was an experience in gaming I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
Arthur was just a loyal kind man, all he knew was to be an Outlaw. He was “bad”, but only because he wanted to protect his family to the end. And heck, did he do just that. ❤
I love the extended version, but I wish there was a version with the best parts of the song getter weaker and were condensed into just that ya know? To show that Arthur's strength is waning as the drums and guitar fade into a haunting violin melody. Reminding the player that this is the end, and that Arthur can't make it outta this one. As much as you plead, and desperately crawl toward the revolver. The 60+ plus hours you have spent with Arthur are ending. As much as you don't want them to.
I really like it the way it is. Perfectly embodies the fact that Arthur is basically a walking corpse by know and yet he fights with every inch of his strength to let John get to safety. But yours is surely a valid point.
@@dinorex3464 Remember that I said version, so maybe a separate upload. Not a replacement. 14:38 through 15:19 is the slow part I was talking about. And 17:14 because all I can find is really quiet versions.

"Sure." 17:20 "Oh black lung, you aint gonna reach that gun. You aint! You lost, my sick friend." "In the end Micah, despite my best efforts to the contrary, it turns out ive won."
One of the most underrated songs of the game. The slow build up representing the knowledge that this is the end, the fanfare of Arthur’s final good deed, and the climax of it all that leads into the fight with Micah and doesn’t end till Dutch steps on Arthur’s hand.
Meu nunca chorei tanto na minha vida... Meu foi 2 dias de uma depressão forte... até lembro como me senti... Foi uma perda terrível... realmente é inexplicável
Experiencing the game for the first time, i am glad that i stayed so long in chapter 2. Did so much hunting, robbing, challenges, stranger missions. Even ended up in Saint Denis, lol. By the time i was done with chapter 2, i had defogged the entire map
Veo que hablas español, eres el único que he visto que la haya subido completa hasta con la parte final de violín, yo hace tiempo en mi canal subí solo la versión de Arthur solo antes de que viniera Micah, te mereces mucho más reconocimiento la verdad.
This was the original OST, he just mixed pieces of it together. Open the satchel or weapon menu while following John or while fighting Micah and you’ll hear it.
This is the OST. Parts of it are cut off when something happens. For example - When you are with John on the cliff this music will start but when it goes into the cutscene it skip some of the music out. If you stand with John and don't progress, you can hear the whole Track.
I swear I had this one playthrough where every single beat lined up with my axtions in the fight. It was so incredibly epic especially when Micah showed up. I even remember head butting eachother on beat followed by an epic climb in the music like we had tied or something. Then when I went for the gun and hit him the music stopped right as the track was ending one loop and about to begin another.

@@aleemizcool3654 same
This song does kinda make you feel badass tho- it's my guilty pleasure to turn on the infinite ammo cheat, go to saint denis, play this on repeat, and go on a murderous rampage. I wouldn't use infinite ammo if I wasn't always spending Arthur/John's money on guns and then forget to buy ammo until after I've spent hundreds of dollars on gun customization and left the gun store.
- John looks off into the distance carrying his gun over his shoulder: symbolises his responsibility to his family and his gradual disillusionment with the gang and Dutch.
- Javier stands in the back with his revolver drawn holding it to the side: chased from the place of his birth and stripped away from his heritage, he holds the one gun (the gang) as the final thing he won't allow to be taken from him. He remains in the back unwilling to depart from the direction the gang is heading, and serves to remind the gang members that fall behind the importance of belonging ("didn't that life we lead mean nothing to you?").
- Dutch looks on forward carrying the rifle over his shoulder: he carries the weight of the gang on his shoulders as the leader. He looks forward, as a visionary, the only path is forward no matter the cost. The left half of his face is covered in pitch blackness, which represents the creeping darkness that will eventually overwhelm him and turn him towards the 'left way'. It represents his blindness as a leader, and his inability to see the true devil on the left side of him.
- Arthur stands in front with a rifle to his side: he is the shield of the gang, standing with broad stature ready to receive any threat head on. He would gladly die to protect any one of those he considers family. Guilt, regret and loneliness weigh upon just like the rifle that weighs downwards by his side. This inner turmoil however is often his greatest motivation, and weapon, for defending and sacrificing for those he owes his allegiance to ("all I cared about was loyalty").
- Bill looks on forward with the rifle covering his chest: loyal and unrelenting, follows Dutch and the gang forward and never questions. Bill is a broken man at heart, and he has since abandoned his self determination to confront and overcome his weakness. Instead, he covers his vulnerability with a long jacket and guards it closely with a rifle. The uneven brim of his hat can be seen as symbol for his damaged and lost state of being.
- Micah looks to the left, his two guns drawn, one held downwards the other held upwards: he holds a falsehood in one hand, pointing upwards to feign sincerity. The other points downwards and conceals the horrid truth of his character. A two faced individual, the juxtaposition of the opposite pointing guns further indicates his warped state of morality ("That's all there is, living and dying"). Looking leftwards eludes to the classical Latin understanding of the devil being associated with the 'left way' (the word "sinister" is an old Latin word for "on the left side"). Furthermore, the upward and downward facing guns also represent the saying "As above, so below". The phrase has association with the devil and the occult, the imagery of which depicts Baphomet pointing one finger up and the other down. The saying is hermetic in origin however, contained within the Tabula Smaragdina, composed between c. 200 and c.800; a scripture seminal to the works of both Arabic and European natural philosophers. The quote itself defines the cosmic principle of 'correspondence', the idea that the functioning of the heavens (finger up) mirrors life on Earth (finger down), and that human life is subject to and intertwined within a grand spiritual cosmos. This is a general principle of magik and occult philosophy. In a religious sense, this would mean human beings reflect, and are a part of, the perfect form of god. But occultism places the devil at the centre of this relationship instead. In the theological narrative, the devil was cast down from the heavens, but he retained intense admiration of the angelic order and a detailed understanding of the perfect and pure state of the heavens, having once been a devoted servant of it. The devil's ultimate goal then is to duplicate the greatness of the higher plane onto the material plane, and manifest a distorted version of paradise here on earth in defiance of god (hence, this is a distortion of as ABOVE, so BELOW).
- Charles can be observed walking side on with his shotgun in hand. He is obscured slightly by a shadow: reserved and concealed, but also incredibly strong and deadly; all of which is reflected by the sawed of shotgun he favors. Charles's Native American heritage has attuned within him a naturalistic and harmonic understanding of the world and morality. This often weighs upon Charles as he leads the lifestyle of a gang member. His side on walk indicates this inner conflict of belonging, walking the between of two ways of life and being unable to settle either way. His shadowed portraiture shows that it is indeed impossible to be two people at once. But he will eventually find it within himself to travel a straight path to capture his destiny.
The setting sun: the final days of the Wild west draw near. It is now visible to all (whether they accept it or not) that they walk upon a world that neither needs nor wants them. The gang brandish their weaponry and stand together to face the shadows of the setting sun.
The sloping ground beneath them indicates morality. Each of the gang members stand upon it to symbolise that nobody is above the scales of morality, nobody can escape the consequences owed to them ("People don't forget. Nothing gets forgiven"). However, it is Arthur, standing at the centre, who will face the most significant trials of all. RDR2 is at heart a tale of morality. Who are the good and bad guys, the lawmen that dictate and enforce what is right and wrong for civilisation (the federal government and the Pinkertons), or the outlaw that rebels against the tyranny to preserve his way of life (the gang)? Is it truly righteous to fight a hopeless war to the bitter end, and should ultimate victory be the sacrifice of the principals and the people who made you family? What really is betrayal?
To travel down the slope, one finds themselves descending very rapidly into evil as temptation after temptation becomes easier and easier to succumb to. To travel up the slope is always the harder and more arduous task, requiring all the strength of one's spirit to resist temptation and remain steadfast up the path. But only true fulfilment is found at the top of the slope, only dishonour is found at the very bottom. Placing both the slope and the setting sun into context, we find the truth of Arthur's story. It's his race against the setting sun: "and all you can do now is decide the man you wanna be, for the time you have left." And alas, Arthur's story will end either below or atop the slope of a mountain.
Extremely well said and analyzed!

This game felt real, like every character was a living breathing monument to film and writing. It played out like a highly cinematic film and the writing read like a classic western without all the contrived plot schemes. Every character was a living breathing human, and when they die, you feel it. Even when the ones you hated died, you still felt a punch to your gut knowing this character is gone, for better or worse. Playing through this game felt distinct, and real. It felt like a mirror to the world in 1899, but also a window into fantasy and imagination. This is all complemented by the subtle, beautiful score, which chimes in at the perfect moment. If you chose the "go for the money" ending you hear something kinda similar to this song. Arthur trudges through the blackened woods with Pinkertons in pursuit, revolver in hand, shouting to kill Micah and avenge everyone the rat got killed. Arthur is dying, and weak with every step. Both the player and Arthur know this, but he isn't slowed down. He stood taller and stronger than ever before, truly unshaken. He nearly defeats Micah in either ending, but he is tragically killed, only because he was too weakened by a sickness he contracted as retribution for his previous sins. He is survived by John who years later avenges Arthur to yet another masterpiece of music, ("American Venom") and is assisted in the vengeance by Dutch, the man Micah drove mad. Micah has no comeback, at least not a clever one, before he topples lifeless into the white snow.
Bro, your commentary is really well written! It is underrated
"I'm gonna get you out of this *bullshit* if it is the *last* *goddamn* *thing* *i* *do* !"
This song, the "Help John get to safety" it's a beautiful song that tells the story of a man who's capable of leave behind old disputes and anger in order to make sure the persons he loves the most get the second chance in life that he couldn't have, even the innavoidable fact that he's going to die doesn't push him back, because from the moment John escaped that cliff Arthur was at peace, and no matter what happened next, he got what he wanted, and now he was able to move on with no regrets.
"Dutch. Micah... *come* *and* *get* *me* *you* *bastards* ! "
The other song, the "Come back for the money" track tells a different but equally powerful story this time we have a man that still cares about the pending bussines with the persons that lead his love ones into demise. Thrusting John will get to safety anyways, he proceeds to turn around and unleash his fury on the ones who dammaged him as he walks into the woods, he knows that a corpse can´t use the money anyways, but wherever the money is, the rat that betrayed him will be there too, and that's exactly what he's looking for.
Personally i think both endings are awesome and both of them are believable, this includes all of their High/Low Honor variations,, and i love how the Low Honor Come Back for the Money ending has a tense violin music in the background while your'e confronting Dutch (none of the other endings has music during the actual dialogue between Micah, Dutch and Arthur) it really feels like Dutch it's containing himself with all of his being from snapping and kill Micah in this ending in particular.
Still, my favorite ending is the "Help John get to Safety" one with high honor, even tho getting shot in the face by Micah is cool the High Honor version it's WAY more fitting to Arthur's character, and i believe this is by far the cannon ending.
I would rank all of Arthur's endings with:
1. High Honor - Help John. (My personal favorite)
2. Low Honor - Go Back for the Money.
3. Low Honor - Help John.
4. High Honor- Go Back for the Money. (Still good, but my least favorite)
get what u mean with the fourth ending, it seems kinda off
@@RodrigoLRDR I agree. In comparison to the low honor variant it feels partly incomplete with the lack of dramatic violin in the background, less dialogue, less impactful farewell from Dutch, and the kind of... weird sunrise you get. But at least you scar Micah in your final moments.
e
it really depends of how you played the game imo, i played my second run as a proper outlaw, finished chapter 1 with already maxed negative honour i think, then, in chapter 6 i started to do every piece of content aside story and pretty much rank up that honor enough to get neutral, but i still kinda needed the money so i did my fair share of robbery and murder from time to time.
after this whole dilemma with how i wanted to finish the game, The High honor- go back for the money feels so good because in my mind, i played it more like Arthur knowing that his road is going to end very soon but still want to do the right thing, but even in the face of death, he still falls down on his most basic instinct,which encapsulate pretty well the rage on the going back for the money ending since the whole thing plays out like a man with nothing to lose, wanting to draw the heat out of marston so he can escape, wanting the money so the marston family can get to safety and just making sure that Micah would never hurt anyone ever again.
imo, the problem with that ending is that the voice lines are pretty much the same aside how it ends, for me, High honor going back for the money could be a lot better if Arthur just says that he is going to try to draw the attention of both Dutch and the pinkertons, and try to prevent the money to fall on anyone hands.
i love the high honor help john, but its far too good for Arthur, and lets be honest, even if he become a better person on his last days, that doesn't mean that he is a good person... and he clearly deserved to die as he lived, Savagely.
blcka pos thee
It's funny how even though Dutch had thoroughly betrayed the two men he had practically raised, he couldn't bring himself to finish the job, and it was obvious. Looking at both of them while they pleaded with Dutch to turn back, he was confused and even scared. During Arthur's final moments, he struggled to even join Micah. It's possible that if Micah had never been involved, and Dutch kept his head screwed on, things might have ended differently.
I believe dutch was always egocentric and bad, cause he felt a great resentment against society for being poor, and alone, basicaly a wounded animal, but with hossea, john and arthur he felt emphaty, you know? He feels a conection to the world, all words were empty, cause he dont believe in change or revolution, he believes in survive, and in the end the only true about durch van der lin, was his love for his family, a weird and complex kind of love
And if hosea was never shot dutch would of had someone to tell him where to stop, but because of micah hosea was shot.
I feel that if Micah wasn't here, the gang will live longer but the separation is still inevitable. Remember Dutch has all the blackwater money in the cave, he doesn't need money at all during all this time. Another thing is when they went to Guarma, it is as similar to Tahiti as you can be, and Dutch still wanted to leave. Dutch just wants to stay in the U.S and create more chaos as an outlaw, which is not going to happen forever as the wild west is slowly tamed
I love that Dutch is the one killing Micah.

I can't explain it, but something about this song really exemplifies the entirety of this game. It feels tragic, and triumphant at the same time. It's like you can feel the weight of all those we've lost on our journey, all those who have betrayed us. And the high notes are pushing through the sadder notes, desperately clawing their way to the top, just like Arthur taking John to the mountain. Just so there can be atleast _one_ good thing that came out of this heartbreaking tale of a hero who gave everything, and received nothing except for the notion that maybe he died a good man
It's been about a year or two since I last properly played Red Dead Redemption 2. But I still think about it almost every day at least once, that's how I know it's a truly special experience.
Encapsulates the feeling of urgency, reflection, despair, and the "end" all in one track. Gorgeous

@ProGamer Er...no offense to y'all but the PC wasn't limited to just that. You get a game that runs and looks miles better. I've played both versions and the PC version ( if you've got the hardware) is a real treat. You get higher frame rates everywhere- especially the towns and that was a pretty big deal for me atleast and with the latest dlss update it runs even better. All those additional graphics settings means you can tweak them however you like. The greatest advantage is the ability to mod the game. I used the John Marston restoration project which restored John's original appearance and added several details from the original Red Dead - it was simply incredible and made the epilogue feel so much better.
*Arthur is Rockstar's bravest and strongest protagonist. The man managed to fight, kill several dangerous men and animals, faced gunmen, and managed to face Micah with tuberculosis. He had nothing to lose, and that was enough for him not to fear death.*

Thank you for posting the full version!!! You sir have honor level 1,000!
I like to think the parts with the violin represents Arthur while the guitar represents John
Don't forget the moment Authur has with his horse. Both high honor and low honor outcomes are the same. For a cowboy/outlaw their horse was their life, they took care of the horse and their horse would care of them.
Authur going back to say goodbye while under gunfire shows how much he cared for his horse.
I didn't cry at the end of rdr2 when Authur dies. But I did cry when he was saying goodbye to his horse. It really shows who he became at the end of the game and it was sad in that moment to realize that this was the end. Horse dies = Authur dies. It's the symbology
This theme has so much heroics and dispare thrown in. The ubeat sounds focus on Authurs finial fight, getting to be the hero instead of the villain and he's going to fight like hell. But the violens come in and bring dispare, you know what's coming you know this is it.

I love this game, both of the Red Dead games actually. They're by far my most favorite games ever and I don't think I will ever forget them. I loved the story just so god dang much and it's such a good one I don't think I ever CAN forget it! I'm so so happy that these games exist, and I'm even happier that my dad showed me the trailer for the second game. I thought it was cool when I first saw it, but I figured I'd only watch my dad play it. But then I decided to try it out and I've beaten it 5 times now lol. It's truly a beautiful game with beautiful graphics, music and most of all, a beautiful story! I'm definitely excited to see if more games come out. I will wait 10 years if I have to for another great game!
I firmly believe that helping John escape instead of going for the money is the only correct way to beat the game.
Me too. Especially the symbolism in it.
Dutch kept wanting to go back for money, or keep trying to get more money- putting the lives of his group in danger.
This one last time, Arthur, chose to do the right thing for once in the gang.
And that was to finally prioritize their lives over the money, which sadly in this case, Arthur had to sacrifice his own.
Arthur was a bad man to many, but a hero to us. As the player, we watched a man who brutally murdered hundreds of people and still felt anguish and sorrow for Arthur. The Pinkertons were doing their job of catching criminals but we, we were fighting an emotional roller coaster. How come this can happen, Rockstar can make us feel sad for a wanted criminal. They truly put out a masterpiece of a game, and one that will be rivalled for decades to come. Playing this for the first time was an experience in gaming I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
Arthur was just a loyal kind man, all he knew was to be an Outlaw. He was “bad”, but only because he wanted to protect his family to the end.
And heck, did he do just that. ❤
betrayed from your family, Being hunted by pinkertons. And STILL fighting to save your brother while being sick. Knowing he wont survive. What a chad.
I love the extended version, but I wish there was a version with the best parts of the song getter weaker and were condensed into just that ya know? To show that Arthur's strength is waning as the drums and guitar fade into a haunting violin melody. Reminding the player that this is the end, and that Arthur can't make it outta this one. As much as you plead, and desperately crawl toward the revolver. The 60+ plus hours you have spent with Arthur are ending. As much as you don't want them to.
I really like it the way it is.
Perfectly embodies the fact that Arthur is basically a walking corpse by know and yet he fights with every inch of his strength to let John get to safety.
But yours is surely a valid point.

14:15 "Oh black lung, you dont know how much ive longed to do this." "Sure."
17:20 "Oh black lung, you aint gonna reach that gun. You aint! You lost, my sick friend." "In the end Micah, despite my best efforts to the contrary, it turns out ive won."
One of the most underrated songs of the game.
The slow build up representing the knowledge that this is the end, the fanfare of Arthur’s final good deed, and the climax of it all that leads into the fight with Micah and doesn’t end till Dutch steps on Arthur’s hand.
7:53
A man with everything to lose is a dangerous man, but a man with nothing left to lose is the deadliest of all…
1:46 my favourite part. It’s so badass and for me illustrates high honour Arthur’s resolve.
I hear that part and think of Arthur standing strong on his two feet to hold off everyone for John to get out safely.
Meu nunca chorei tanto na minha vida...
Meu foi 2 dias de uma depressão forte... até lembro como me senti...
Foi uma perda terrível... realmente é inexplicável
*F* Arthur Morgan
É incrível como a gente se apega a um personagem fictício, mas que consegue ser tão real quanto um ator em um filme.
Experiencing the game for the first time, i am glad that i stayed so long in chapter 2. Did so much hunting, robbing, challenges, stranger missions. Even ended up in Saint Denis, lol.
By the time i was done with chapter 2, i had defogged the entire map
It's Pretty good.
JoJo
your pfp kills me.
Pretty good?
*It's fucking great!*
An amazing game and soundtrack. This song brings out the tragic story of the misguided Van Der Linde Gang.
Veo que hablas español, eres el único que he visto que la haya subido completa hasta con la parte final de violín, yo hace tiempo en mi canal subí solo la versión de Arthur solo antes de que viniera Micah, te mereces mucho más reconocimiento la verdad.
Gracias bro!
@@lucascapo0136 por cierto como lograste que la parte final del violin dure tanto?
17:15 i love that part pls make a loop
Uff mucho muy buena la versión completa hasta la parte del violin
Seriously dude, this is better than the original ost.
blake op 3
This was the original OST, he just mixed pieces of it together. Open the satchel or weapon menu while following John or while fighting Micah and you’ll hear it.
This is the OST. Parts of it are cut off when something happens. For example - When you are with John on the cliff this music will start but when it goes into the cutscene it skip some of the music out. If you stand with John and don't progress, you can hear the whole Track.
17:15 hits so hard
Isn't that part also used when Arthur sits at his dying horse?
Listened to this while doing Horseman 9 as Arthur. What a wild fucking ride
Este video se merece mas likes y te mereces mas subs
I swear I had this one playthrough where every single beat lined up with my axtions in the fight. It was so incredibly epic especially when Micah showed up. I even remember head butting eachother on beat followed by an epic climb in the music like we had tied or something. Then when I went for the gun and hit him the music stopped right as the track was ending one loop and about to begin another.
YOU ARE MY BROTHER
"I Know". . .
"I KNOW". . .
"I'm getting you out of this bullshit, if it's the LAST GODDAMNED THING I DO!"
those last words still haunt me: i gave you all i had dutch , i did
My favorite part of the game! All boils down to (Arthur story)
