@@morningstar7896 not strange at all. Arthur has a bigger and more dynamic character arc and evolution compared to MArston. His identity changes significantly throughout, unlike John in Red Dead redemption 1
I lost motivation to play and finish the Epilogue after Arthur's Death, I couldn't play for a month until I finally decided to finish cause im a Trophy hunter.(Meaning i wanna get all trophies for every game I play)
Me! I balled my eyes out when he told my horse (baby was her name) thank you and balled even harder when he was on the rock and unshaken played for the last time... I honestly still visit his grave as John sometimes just to say hey.
A Stranger ... During a time when the fabric of society seemed to ripping at the seams, when we began to realize social media was more dividing than unifying, it was this and other video games that brought us together. We will share stories about our Arthur, our first play through, the mesmerizing scenery, endless details, unforgettable characters, our shock at just how unexpected Sean’s death was, burning down Braithwaite Manor, charging grizzly bears, and, hopefully, the DLC that gave us more Sadie, Charles, and... LENNNNAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Don't be feeling sad about Arthur ... in the end he achieved his Redemption. He lived the life of a outlaw - he died a hero, and thus achieved immortality.
@@clay4444 he is mentioned once when John said something to Bonnie about a friend helped him get out, I forgot the exact quote. But he is not directly mentioned simply because Rockstar didn't think of him when they made RDR.
Cale james one reason we all can realate to him and theh brought him to life so much and we simply care about him, hands down my favourite character in any game ive ever played
"I'm a bad man" Watching this makes me wanna change Arthur I mad him that bad man I made him kill so many people I took so much money from people even when they gave me money I still killed them even when I told them to run off I shot them in the back...my honor level is very low it's at the very end at the dark red part
Is it strange if I tell you that I truly felt like a claw scratching my heart when he died. I, sincerely, dunno how I will get over it. Ik it is game, but still... I do not think I will ever stop love-hating Rockstar not necessarily for killing him, but for not letting us play as him afterwards. Maybe a special mode or something
What if ... In the next prequel we play as Dutch. And the final mission of the game is blackwater. And then we get to really see what happened on that boat.
Interestingly in the mountain ending, Arthur faced east towards the sunrise. If this quote was in mind, then perhaps he was not looking joyfully at his past, but hopefully onto the future he had enabled for the Marston family. I'm sorry to say Arthur, but the tyranny of the eastern civilisation you had fled from would creep into the West and claim John anyways, and it would turn Jack into the kind of man you probably wouldn't have wanted to see him become. But that's the thing about dying the hero. You may die in peace, but you never truly know if your sacrifice amounted to the result you wanted. Redemption found you, Arthur Morgan, and it will find John Marston, too. I hope Jack is able to turn back before he needs his own.
@@PLGRN8R Jack actually became a writer like he always wanted to, you can find one of his books in GTA V its called Red Dead not sure if its canon but to me it is
Guts yeah I hope it’s cannon aswell the only thing that separating red dead from the gta universe is the names of city’s I think. In red dead they talk about New York but in gta it’s called liberty city.
"You're real sick... Im real sorry.." "Yeahh well.." I honestly hope I can take bad news as good as Arthur.. He knew was going to happen eventually.. He was 36 and back then living to be 36 was like living to be 60 nowadays..
I honestly have never felt so emotional for a video game character. Rockstar created a masterpiece. Even playing as John and building that house with Charles and Uncle, it really hits you in the feels, man.

@@theoardoin4735 yeah he spent most of life with Dutch and gang, doing stealing shooting robbing. But towards the end he tried to turn that around and be a good man. He tried to be good and through John he'll succeed
When I first saw this character in previews, I really didn't like him. He seemed too big and strong, like a superhero cowboy. But now I get why they designed him that way. It makes his arc a lot more impactful. To see a character go from being a powerful, independent guy who tromps through the world skinning animals and robbing trains... to someone facing his own frailty is a real gut punch.
Its deeper than just changes in appearance too. Kudos to rockstar for such depth. The weaker he gets the worse his aim becomes, starts to sway and is unsteady on his feet. Same thing in fist fights, opponents get the jump on you and break through your block sometimes. Makes them harder to defeat. Whole thing adds to the feeling of dread the closer to death he is.
Swear to God man if someone would place a tombstone for Arthur in real life, thousands and thousands of RDR-players would visit it, its crazy when you think about it, but there it is. Arthur felt like a real person to every one of us and only those who played RDR2 can understand it.
I'd go. Living in Arthur's shoes for hundreds of hours was such an experience. I care more about Arthur Morgan than I do about most of the people I have to interact with irl.
Meh I got a different ending that y'all honorable folks because of myself having to slaughter the town of van horn twice and 20 bounty hunters for killing a guy who stole half my money. I consider the other ending canon.
(sees Lenny in heaven) Arthur: "HAHAHA! FOUND YA LENEEEHH!" Edit: To all of you saying Arthur would actually go to hell; well duh. Of course he would. But I prefer the image of that legend meeting his fellow gang members in heaven rather than hell. It's a lot happier that way. Also thanks for the likes. Never had so many.😂
Isaac Chatfield Hey man, he didn’t have much of his own to live for after the gang. He got John to his family. And he got to see the sunset. Just like he said he wanted.
I made a Hurt trailer 2 weeks before this, you may like it better th-cam.com/video/jwxbLo05jcM/w-d-xo.html I didnt copy clips from the real trailers either, all footage was personally captured and edited myself
@@mannyescuela3511 its water under the bridge. If he didnt want to hurt the people he loved he wouldn't of plunged 2 shots of heroin into his arm. Still doesnt change how you take losing your best friend unfortunately. First couple weeks after he passed I swear I could see him staring at me with a disastified face. Thought I was losing my mind but apparently that's just a side effect. Going through something like that man, reminds me of the song "the kids aren't alright" by the offspring
I cried when I finished Arthur's story..... Every incredible moment, every good and bad choice, every life touched or taken came full circle for him. Incredible storytelling, my favourite game in the world and a character that both hits home and makes me feel like an absolute badass. Thank you Rockstar
Nothing like Red Dead 2 has come out ... ever. I've never seen such tremendous scripts, acting, plotlines, depth, just everything someone who wants to be immersed in another world could ask for. I'm from a ranch in the middle of nowhere, things are very old school. I've never related to any character in any game or show or movie (other than John Wayne) as much as Arthur. Thank you rockstar for keeping us rural folk represented and entertained. Arthur Morgan is an incredible character and an honor to play as.
The Department of Justice he beat him by an inch but there still in heaven talking to John wondering what happened to jack then jack walks in looking like he’s 100 years old then it turns out he somehow survived everything
In the end it was Arthur's loyalty to Dutch and his want to get John, Abigail, and Jack out of the gang alive that killed him. He had the option to go back to New Austin and live another year or more due to its warm dry climate, but Arthur didn't want to abandon his family so he could live a little longer. Hes a hero, and definitely one of my heroes.
Yesterday I finished the Arthur story-line. I cried the whole play-through. When he was riding to the final battle, when my horse (Named : Dead by April that I had since chapter 2) dies, when Micah beat Arthur down, when Arthur dies seeing the sun. Hands-down the best game of all time in my opinion.
Yeah tell me bout it, but i wouldnt say its the best game from a gameplay perspective but definitly from a story telling perspective, for that it is a masterpiece
Beautifully done. Nobody else has created such a tribute. Anybody who completed this story should have no excuse not to cry at this. This is truly like losing a real friend. R.I.P. Arthur Morgan. Edit: Wow! Really glad to see all of these likes agreeing with me here! I really appreciate it!
RPG Gaming I completed the story, I loved this game... But I didn’t cry because I’m not a fucking wetty that considers a video game character ‘a real friend’.
@@Albert_YTC On one hand, Arthur did start defying Dutch in chapter 6 because Dutch was doing things that Chapter 2 Dutch would have loathed. After Hosea died, Micah was able to start making Dutch do what he wanted, and that included getting revenge. Arthur never wanted to go fight for revenge. But on the other, we have the fact that Arthur flat out told Dutch that Micah had been a rat ever since Guarma, and Dutch did nothing before Arthur died. John, Charles, and Sadie's revenge for Arthur is a 50/50 case. It meant revenge, but it also meant killing a rat who cost the Van der Linde gang some of its most important members. Perhaps when Dutch shot Micah in the epilogue, it was his last moment of sorrow for the man he once treated like his own son. But I believe Micah's death would be the one case of revenge Arthur wanted, for his actions against Arthur himself and the whole of the Van der Linde gang.
@@Albert_YTC And John paid dearly for that. In the credits you see the agents finding Micah and going around asking questions and finding John on his ranch. My guess is that Micah lured Dutch into working with him again but he did so because he was going to give him to the agents. That's why they had John do all the work in RDR1 and then killed him. RDR2 makes RDR1's ending even more depressing.
Whoever made this clip, you absolutely nailed it by putting Johnny Cash "Hurt" as the theme. Fits so well, but is so sad, almost brutal. It's made so much sadder to me because Arthur really reminds me of my husband. They have kind of the same personality, stoic and strong. Quiet, but never failing to make their point. Indifferent, and dedicated at the same time. They even sound alike. It's really hard for me to watch this without tearing up. I guess that would be a sign that both this clip provider and Rockstar did their jobs very well.
Johnny has another song that would fit the whole thing better than hurt. Grant it hurt is good, but I hung my head, would fit it a little better. Turn the volume down on this and play that song. It just fits it a little better.
@@redryder7521 I'm mean yes it does fit it in a good way. But to me hurt is a song of losing someone, as in died. Not dying. To me hung my head would be a better sound off, for the reason to me of the treachery and betrayal of a unknown figure.
Damn talk about great editing and paying homage to Arthur. This fit the theme of Arthur’s life perfectly and was done so well it was like watching a movie trailer.
Hey, I'd appreciate it if you have a look at my channel, called Battlebrothers Entertainment. You don't have to but if you do wish to here's a link: th-cam.com/video/17ni4M_vWRA/w-d-xo.html
xxanexi_ •• I liked the fact that ingame there is a song by willie nelson "cruel cruel world" a close friend of johnny, and that in gta 5 there is "highwaymen" the song where johnny and willie sang together.
I had the arabian black since I was able to access the Saint Denis stables. Named him Sleipnir, Bonded with him, kept him well fed at a healthy weight, praised him, healed him the second he took damage. Recorded all the funny falls we had. And then the final mission happened. And someone started chopping onions in front of me
Like... I get he's just an game character but... I actually felt close to him.. And when he died... Well... Let's just say that i'm still a bit upset over it.. R.I.P Arthur Morgan. You will be remembered and missed by all of your fans.
I personally felt his death like some claws grabbing my heart and ripping it violently. I am not even joking. I will forever have a love-hate relationship with Rockstar for this MAN and for his story. Yeah, I called him a man, not a character. He taught me that no matter with how much darkness you may start your journey, you can always end it in light and redemption. Also, he taught to never give everything I have to a friend or to trust someone unconditionally. Being backstabbed was worse than death for Arthur. Thank you Rockstar and thank you Arthur Morgan. Hope this wasn't the last time we saw you. Like a song says " There ain't no grave can hold YOUR body down "
He got his redemption, died the way he wanted to. "Point me to the west, so I can watch the sun set and look back". In rdr2 this soul was redeemed and he achieved immortality.
My dad downloaded this video to his computer a couple years ago and red dead redemption was one of his favorite games of all time and he really loved this video that you made he passed away this year but this song it just hits me so hard 😔
Just one more. ONE MORE, Rockstar. PLEASE. Red Dead Redemption; Van der Linde. The conception of the gang all the way to when they did the ferry job and ran from the law. PLEASE.
I think this is the bittersweet ending that we need to close the chapter of Arthur. It's better to let things go out with a bang instead of milking them untill we grow bored and restenful. That would just wash away the brilliance of the earlier games.
It'd be cool to play a new prequel from Dutch's perspective back when the gang first formed and what led to it. It could go on and we could see what really was happening to Dutch and end it off where John attempted to kill him in RDR 1
@@the_weeb_lord1017 yeah but ultimate Dutch's charater arc is done, and it's been fleshed out the best, I feel a Landon rickets redemption game would be amazing and the most likely rockstar would go for in the next 8 years or so
"If I could start again, a million miles away. I would keep myself, I would find a way" Perfectly sums up Arthur and John, lives full of stupid mistakes, of failure, of doing your best but still wishing there was more you could've done better.
I was just saying on twitter the other day how someone should make a Arthur video set to Cash's Hurt cover, wow. Better than what I imagined in my head, brilliant!
I know God Of War won GOTY... and they deserved it. That being said this story got me way more emotional than theirs..... such a great story. Arthur best Rockstar character by far.
57Bruso Yeah, masterpiece like god of war and red dead shines, and greedy toxic developer like bethesda,ea, blizzard gets downfall, I really hope battle royale mode die out soon
Omg I’ve been waiting for somebody to do a Arthur Morgan tribute of Hurt by Johnny cash because it really fits Arthur because he feels so human thank you so much
My first play through I wanted different hats, searching constantly for better ones. After I'd finished the game. I only ever wore Arthur's hat. The only one I wanted! Needed! What a game.
2020 was a pretty numb year until I decided to buy a game system and play the game that looked the most interesting. I was just looking to fill the time. That game was RDR2 and it wasn't only fun, but heart breaking. I also had no idea about RDR1, and so bought that after John takes over. Not being in the video game culture what so ever, that shift from Arthur dying to John getting revenge was long, but so, so sweet.
“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate... I choose love.” Johnny Cash I have never in my life connected with a character the way I did with Arthur Morgan. Life is full of choices and the most rewarding choice we could ever choose is love. Love, after all, is the greatest gift we have ever been given.
He is the best protagonist I have ever played in a video game, thank you rockstar for you hard work we are ever so greatful to such a dedicated company.
I lived a bad life...surrounded by thieves,killers,Micha. But it was my life,made my own decisions, made amends and always got what I deserved,good or bad. Could I'd have a better life? Hell yeah... but I made friends, family, enemies,and sacrifices but you know what I would not have my life anyother way. Tried to help people out of there tough times. And I'm proud of the life I lived, folk hero or a degenerate it was my life and was proud to live it
First impressions: “Who is Arthur? we want John!” Finishing the game: “We want Arthur back it’s not the same without him!” All aside Arthur is the best protagonist Rockstar has ever created or my favorite in general he was so human and relatable it hurts seeing him die and I still miss his pure soul.
I just completed the epilogue and I just feel no need to play it anymore I just don’t have any love for it after Arthur’s death the game doesn’t feel the same playing as John
I feel the same, I'll just keep playing as John until the 100% of the game and later I'll start the campaign from the begining only for playing as Arthur, I really miss him right now
Holy hell I’m crying up a bloody storm over here this song ties together so well with RDR2 and you did amazing on that that’s a +1 subscription from me m8

Hey man, he didn’t have much of his own to live for after the gang. He got John to his family. And he got to see the sunset. Just like he said he wanted.
I made a Hurt trailer 2 weeks before this, you may like it better th-cam.com/video/jwxbLo05jcM/w-d-xo.html
I didnt copy clips from the real trailers either, all footage was personally captured and edited myself
Then poring a jar of salt on the wound
Using a Johnny cash song for this was a good idea.
My best friend died from an overdose last year. I know he would've loved this. Cash and red dead mixed, man I miss him.
christidopher brouse I’m sorry bro
I bet he did
@@mannyescuela3511 its water under the bridge. If he didnt want to hurt the people he loved he wouldn't of plunged 2 shots of heroin into his arm. Still doesnt change how you take losing your best friend unfortunately. First couple weeks after he passed I swear I could see him staring at me with a disastified face. Thought I was losing my mind but apparently that's just a side effect. Going through something like that man, reminds me of the song "the kids aren't alright" by the offspring

Thank you
I cried when I finished Arthur's story..... Every incredible moment, every good and bad choice, every life touched or taken came full circle for him.
Incredible storytelling, my favourite game in the world and a character that both hits home and makes me feel like an absolute badass. Thank you Rockstar
th-cam.com/video/XEDxu9H79GQ/w-d-xo.html
I loved the story! I hate rockstar for killing arthur off! I never cried so hard
Nothing like Red Dead 2 has come out ... ever. I've never seen such tremendous scripts, acting, plotlines, depth, just everything someone who wants to be immersed in another world could ask for. I'm from a ranch in the middle of nowhere, things are very old school. I've never related to any character in any game or show or movie (other than John Wayne) as much as Arthur. Thank you rockstar for keeping us rural folk represented and entertained. Arthur Morgan is an incredible character and an honor to play as.
I loved clint eastwood movies..but it s this game made me fancy living in rural side of the states.
Shuddup
I ended the main story 4 days ago and i'm still without words for this final
same lol
Random User cant get over it i wanna play it again with the highest honor Arthur deserved the best😭
I ended it yesterday, Arthur's death hit me hard
@@peterwaynelegend Man 2 yeas later nothing has changed lol
I only just finished it. I'm heartbroken.
John made it. He's the only one. Rest of us... no. But... I tried. In the end. I did.
I gave you all I had
YOU JUST NEED SOME GOD DAM FAITH
I got it, a boat!
Nice name
The epilogue ending is a masterpiece
Honestly, I thought nobody would ever beat John as a character but I must admit, Arthur takes it.
The Department of Justice he beat him by an inch but there still in heaven talking to John wondering what happened to jack then jack walks in looking like he’s 100 years old then it turns out he somehow survived everything
Goddamn. Never expected a R* game to make me cry. Great work.
Guessing you dont play many rockstar games
@@SerkeysTV San andreas, vice city, gta 4, gta 5, liberty city stories-
Prince Misfit other than rdr 1 there haven’t been any that pull heart strings like this and don’t even try and say gta cuz that’s a joke
Rockstar is notorious for getting us attached to a character and then swiping them out from under our feet in a swift second.
@Some shitty meme stealing account I haven't. But their other games haven't emotionally impacted me the way rdr 2 did.
When I saw the mission was called “Red Dead Redemption” I knew it was over.
I knew it because of the way he put on his hat and the song i knew it was over
In the end it was Arthur's loyalty to Dutch and his want to get John, Abigail, and Jack out of the gang alive that killed him. He had the option to go back to New Austin and live another year or more due to its warm dry climate, but Arthur didn't want to abandon his family so he could live a little longer. Hes a hero, and definitely one of my heroes.
He felt that he was dying anyway so he made sure his family got out alive
Even when he has low honor he is still a man with virtues and some good.
[Redacted]
LT103 I did
LT103 I also named a horse after him ;(
@A Person I named my horse Cletus
I always wear his hat and his satchel
For 7 months straight
Yesterday I finished the Arthur story-line. I cried the whole play-through. When he was riding to the final battle, when my horse (Named : Dead by April that I had since chapter 2) dies, when Micah beat Arthur down, when Arthur dies seeing the sun. Hands-down the best game of all time in my opinion.
You're right. I've never been so attached to any character in my life. This has to be the best game I've ever played
Truth to that brother
Thanks for spoiling it, lol jk
Yeah tell me bout it, but i wouldnt say its the best game from a gameplay perspective but definitly from a story telling perspective, for that it is a masterpiece
Beautifully done. Nobody else has created such a tribute. Anybody who completed this story should have no excuse not to cry at this. This is truly like losing a real friend. R.I.P. Arthur Morgan.
Edit: Wow! Really glad to see all of these likes agreeing with me here! I really appreciate it!
RPG Gaming I completed the story, I loved this game...
But I didn’t cry because I’m not a fucking wetty that considers a video game character ‘a real friend’.
@@dragoxk4542 Well you clearly don't understand Arthur Morgan.
RDR2 is a YCYL game, and this video is a YCYL video...
Dragoxk4 that’s not very yeehaw partner
I mean it is just a game so yeah i feel for it but im not gonna cry
When Arthur said “I’m afraid.” I felt that. #Shook
Everyone: Micha needs to die!
Me: revenge is a luxury we can't afford
Tyler Boyer its so weird because killing micha at the end goes against everything Arthur would’ve wanted
@@Albert_YTC On one hand, Arthur did start defying Dutch in chapter 6 because Dutch was doing things that Chapter 2 Dutch would have loathed. After Hosea died, Micah was able to start making Dutch do what he wanted, and that included getting revenge. Arthur never wanted to go fight for revenge. But on the other, we have the fact that Arthur flat out told Dutch that Micah had been a rat ever since Guarma, and Dutch did nothing before Arthur died. John, Charles, and Sadie's revenge for Arthur is a 50/50 case. It meant revenge, but it also meant killing a rat who cost the Van der Linde gang some of its most important members.
Perhaps when Dutch shot Micah in the epilogue, it was his last moment of sorrow for the man he once treated like his own son. But I believe Micah's death would be the one case of revenge Arthur wanted, for his actions against Arthur himself and the whole of the Van der Linde gang.
@@Albert_YTC And John paid dearly for that. In the credits you see the agents finding Micah and going around asking questions and finding John on his ranch. My guess is that Micah lured Dutch into working with him again but he did so because he was going to give him to the agents. That's why they had John do all the work in RDR1 and then killed him. RDR2 makes RDR1's ending even more depressing.
th-cam.com/video/XEDxu9H79GQ/w-d-xo.html
i agree with you and Arthur revenge is a luxury we can't afford
Whoever made this clip, you absolutely nailed it by putting Johnny Cash "Hurt" as the theme. Fits so well, but is so sad, almost brutal.
It's made so much sadder to me because Arthur really reminds me of my husband. They have kind of the same personality, stoic and strong. Quiet, but never failing to make their point. Indifferent, and dedicated at the same time. They even sound alike. It's really hard for me to watch this without tearing up. I guess that would be a sign that both this clip provider and Rockstar did their jobs very well.
Johnny has another song that would fit the whole thing better than hurt. Grant it hurt is good, but I hung my head, would fit it a little better. Turn the volume down on this and play that song. It just fits it a little better.
@@TallGoblin25 It does fit the game as a whole well, Idk if it's better for the theme of the game or not... So difficult to decide lol
@@redryder7521 I'm mean yes it does fit it in a good way. But to me hurt is a song of losing someone, as in died. Not dying. To me hung my head would be a better sound off, for the reason to me of the treachery and betrayal of a unknown figure.
Or even god gonna cut ya down. To at least another of a western game of rockstar's, maybe nit this one, but another. Lol
Even a better one, when the man comes around, that one fits the first rdr, but still a good one. You know the strange man.
Damn talk about great editing and paying homage to Arthur. This fit the theme of Arthur’s life perfectly and was done so well it was like watching a movie trailer.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!

"blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness" - written on Arthur Morgan headstone :(
Every time he says “I’m afraid” my heart hurts so bad this game really changed my perspective on death and life in general
Who else dressed Arthur as The Man In Black and got a Black Arabian horse to go with it in honour of Johnny Cash?
xxanexi_ •• I liked the fact that ingame there is a song by willie nelson "cruel cruel world" a close friend of johnny, and that in gta 5 there is "highwaymen" the song where johnny and willie sang together.
I had the arabian black since I was able to access the Saint Denis stables. Named him Sleipnir, Bonded with him, kept him well fed at a healthy weight, praised him, healed him the second he took damage. Recorded all the funny falls we had. And then the final mission happened. And someone started chopping onions in front of me
All in black but havent got the arabian horse yet😔
Me.
You have to get the bandit challenges done too. The black gear looks the best. The gambler gear is a close second.
Duuuuutch i gave you all i had
Arthur!
Don't worry Arthur, Micah gets his shit mixed by John
Aye Arthur come back
I had a plan, son. You just lost your faith in us, in me.
@@theloniusjaha goddamn you dutch following that son of a bitch micah. ARTHUR WAS MY BROTHER AND YOU BETRAYED HIM, YOU BETRAYED US THE GANG.

Have you lost your god damn loyalty, son?
This gave me goosebumps. You did an amazing job with this video. The story, the cuts, the song... all of that goes together PERFECTLY.
Thank you so much!
Yeah same

Shuddup
Feel for you bro
well he didn t die u missed the importante part of the whole game lol
I personally felt his death like some claws grabbing my heart and ripping it violently. I am not even joking. I will forever have a love-hate relationship with Rockstar for this MAN and for his story. Yeah, I called him a man, not a character. He taught me that no matter with how much darkness you may start your journey, you can always end it in light and redemption. Also, he taught to never give everything I have to a friend or to trust someone unconditionally. Being backstabbed was worse than death for Arthur. Thank you Rockstar and thank you Arthur Morgan. Hope this wasn't the last time we saw you. Like a song says " There ain't no grave can hold YOUR body down "
He got his redemption, died the way he wanted to. "Point me to the west, so I can watch the sun set and look back". In rdr2 this soul was redeemed and he achieved immortality.
Folks let's just remember this is a video game
@@Bush_Tucker no it's a master a peice a art in it's self
@@Bush_Tucker remember folks, don't have feelings, that's not allowed. Don't connect with anything that exists
@@Twinspinner but my friend it doesnt exist it's a game it's not real, it's like saying a movie character is real

Beautiful piece of art. Yes I am calling this art cuz that’s exactly what it is.
Art it is not just painting, music, and other stuff like that. Art is what makes you feel human.
My dad downloaded this video to his computer a couple years ago and red dead redemption was one of his favorite games of all time and he really loved this video that you made he passed away this year but this song it just hits me so hard 😔
Man i had a strong emotional bond with lee from the walking dead the game but this is on a whole new level...

Just one more. ONE MORE, Rockstar. PLEASE. Red Dead Redemption; Van der Linde. The conception of the gang all the way to when they did the ferry job and ran from the law. PLEASE.
I think this is the bittersweet ending that we need to close the chapter of Arthur. It's better to let things go out with a bang instead of milking them untill we grow bored and restenful. That would just wash away the brilliance of the earlier games.
It'd be cool to play a new prequel from Dutch's perspective back when the gang first formed and what led to it. It could go on and we could see what really was happening to Dutch and end it off where John attempted to kill him in RDR 1
@@the_weeb_lord1017 yeah but ultimate Dutch's charater arc is done, and it's been fleshed out the best, I feel a Landon rickets redemption game would be amazing and the most likely rockstar would go for in the next 8 years or so
"If I could start again, a million miles away. I would keep myself, I would find a way" Perfectly sums up Arthur and John, lives full of stupid mistakes, of failure, of doing your best but still wishing there was more you could've done better.
I was just saying on twitter the other day how someone should make a Arthur video set to Cash's Hurt cover, wow. Better than what I imagined in my head, brilliant!
Thank you so much!

Me too, absolutely the best games ever
You’re on the same wave that’s lit you should also play psychonauts one day
I know God Of War won GOTY... and they deserved it. That being said this story got me way more emotional than theirs..... such a great story. Arthur best Rockstar character by far.
57Bruso both game have great stories and similar theme of redemption, but I guess Red dead get us more becoz we all can be Arthur, we are just human
@@DoyouBleed777 Exactly. I can't really relate to a god or to fatherhood yet. Honestly 2018 has been one of the best years for gaming in history.
57Bruso Yeah, masterpiece like god of war and red dead shines, and greedy toxic developer like bethesda,ea, blizzard gets downfall, I really hope battle royale mode die out soon
Red dead 2 deserves game of the year. God of war deserves everything else.
Rune But Red dead's gameplay and pacing not as good as God of War, so the result is reasonable
“You keep killing folk Dutch”

My first play through I wanted different hats, searching constantly for better ones. After I'd finished the game. I only ever wore Arthur's hat. The only one I wanted! Needed!
What a game.
2020 was a pretty numb year until I decided to buy a game system and play the game that looked the most interesting. I was just looking to fill the time. That game was RDR2 and it wasn't only fun, but heart breaking.
I also had no idea about RDR1, and so bought that after John takes over. Not being in the video game culture what so ever, that shift from Arthur dying to John getting revenge was long, but so, so sweet.
“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate... I choose love.” Johnny Cash
I have never in my life connected with a character the way I did with Arthur Morgan. Life is full of choices and the most rewarding choice we could ever choose is love. Love, after all, is the greatest gift we have ever been given.
This is a beautiful tribute!
One of the only games where I was actually in tears
But I’m glad he found peace
I gave you all I had….i tried in the end” can we really do any more. Great job on the video and music
Legit Tears or joy and sadness. Truly the greatest protagonist ever created. Rest in peace brother. Forever imortilized as a ghost rider in the sky👏👏
Thats epic legendary love all this i mean Arthur Morgan is one of the most emotional Characters and best of Rockstar Games or finally Videogames

Arthur....buddy....I think that TB has really gotten to your head,youre talking to yourself.
I lived a bad life...surrounded by thieves,killers,Micha. But it was my life,made my own decisions, made amends and always got what I deserved,good or bad. Could I'd have a better life? Hell yeah... but I made friends, family, enemies,and sacrifices but you know what I would not have my life anyother way. Tried to help people out of there tough times. And I'm proud of the life I lived, folk hero or a degenerate it was my life and was proud to live it

I just completed the epilogue and I just feel no need to play it anymore I just don’t have any love for it after Arthur’s death the game doesn’t feel the same playing as John
I feel the same
I play john with arthur's hat
It feels a bit hollow and empty after Arthurs passed
I felt a bit the same so I now have 2 saves 1 as Arthur just before the bank heist and 1 as John so I can unlock everything.
I feel the same, I'll just keep playing as John until the 100% of the game and later I'll start the campaign from the begining only for playing as Arthur, I really miss him right now
Very nicely cut. I’m glad someone did Hurt. 🤘🏻
This is perfect. Rest In Peace, Arthur.
Gone, but never forgotten.
