The first detail I encountered that told me this game was serious was when I was chasing this small animal; the thing just dropped dead, I didn't know what happened. Then it got up and took off running again... It was an opossum... Playing dead... Blew my mind.
You forgot to show that when it rains the paths become muddy and you create footprints and horseprints. These then fill with rain. When the sun comes out the water evaporates and the tracks dry out, but the tracks remain. Totally crazy!
@@RockyMountainWest13 Relax! I wasn't talking about the hooves themselves, but about what they leave in the ground. The depressions left by a hoof due to the weight of the horse. Also, we germans are the best in creating new combinations of words. So why are you so pissed?! Best wishes xD
What did we do to deserve Red Dead Redemption 2? Seriously. Even 4 years later I'm still in complete awe of this game. It's the end of 2022 and I've still yet to find a game that's impressed me as much as RDR2.
It is a labor of love and a WORK OF ART - art not just being in the form of words of images, although Red Dead Redemption 2 has those, of course. Art in the respect that it has done with a computer what was only previously possible with specialist software programs in a much more limited fashion. The RDR2 world is believable and therefore incredibly immersive. You FEEL as if you are actually there if you play for long enough.
@@lordmuhehe4605 I haven't followed the development of RDR2, so you may be right. But even if, crunching at least had to be somewhat limited with this project compared to other games, meaning, they weren't as ridiculously restricted with their time as many other developers are, who weren't even given enough time to offer a finalized base game. If details like those are part of a game, at some point the developers had the time to do it, maybe they were honestly so passionated about it, that they added it by themselfes, maybe in a bit of free time, who knows. If they needed to be crunching all the time, special details would have not made the cut. Still, crunching is a modern plague and shouldn't be there, but you know, greed 'n shit......... Publishers would still make serious money, if they let the developers work 3 months longer on a game, but no, need to squeeze any theoretical penny out of this thing. I mean, there's got to be a reason, why Nintendo games usually remain very loved and highly bought for many years - because they are done properly and people usually keep hearing good things about them. If only other publishers would adapt this model........
The detail that made me fall in love with the game is the fact that you actually WALK up stairs. One at a time. Like an actual person. It's something so simple, yet makes all the difference. Instead of your character just clipping with stairs or their feet hanging halfway off. Also the fact that wagons actually leave trails in the mud impressed me. Once I finally kltoced it.
That is just inverse cinematics and a bit of position alignment together with via code manipulative joints. every game with a competent animator has that.

I'd say the best encounter I ever came across was when I rescued some guy on the side of the road who had a bad injury. Brought him to Saint Denis and brought him into the Doctors place. He had me set him into a chair where he looked over him for a bit and gave him something to knock him out. He then discussed with me the issue, which lead to him needing to amputate the arm. He informed me he'd be taken care of and that I could leave... but I stayed and literally watched this doctor saw this dudes arm off, take a couple breathers in between before tossing the arm into a bucket and wrapping the injured arm up afterward.
The encounter you're talking about isn't over. There is more to it. You will see the same dude in Saint denis. By where they hang people. Don't want to spoil it for you.
@@chuckpatterson4487 Yeeah. Almost immediately after I posted the comment I thought to myself: "That encounter was far too detailed to just be a random encounter, there's gotta be more to it."

I particularly enjoyed this encounter as well - so much so, I used the in-game “Photo Mode” to take multiple pictures of the doctor sawing off his arm. Then, to end up seeing him later on being hanged and missing his arm? Of course, I had to walk up to him right before they dropped the noose and antagonize him.

The fact you can just follow NPCs and freak them out is priceless. I love how there are unique reactions to being followed. This game really really went the extra mile to make you feel like you're there.
I've played the game and seen so many of these that it just becomes natural that all these details are there. Especially animal behaviour I find is very impressive. Predators hunt prey, dogs play, deer and horses flee etc.
Wow.. never realized that NPC’s actually ate food. That, and that wild horses don’t have horseshoes.. I’m on my 7th play through, and am still learning little minute details. This game was crafted with the utmost love and care, and it shows. Absolutely mind blowing. I think it’ll be a long time until we see another game crafted on the same level.
7th? Now that is dedication. After the ending, I wasn't so sure that I could stomach another play-thru. The emotions experienced at the end was too raw and hitting too close for comfort. Going to wait a bit until memories goes partially away before I play it again.
@@groenhoender i just got the game about a few days ago and am roughly 12% completion, Is the story really as good as everyone says it is? I have no doubts I just wanna hear other’s thoughts
@@peecee_ Oh, the story is absolutely awesome on its own. A real rollercoaster. But take your time, and explore everywhere. There is a lot one can do, aside of the story, ie. the side challenges and more.
@@peecee_ oh fam the story is the best. dont skip any cutscene. play every side mission. follow every NPC story. dont rush through the game. take it slooooow. play like arthur. Do them upgrades, crafts and hunting. I speak for everyone when i say I wish i could erase my memory of playing this game so I could experiene it raw once again. I finished the game a year ago and now about to start it again.
The first playthrough was so good, felt so immersive as if I was living in that world. No game as come even close yet. Valhalla tried but failed, doesn't even compare
When I finished just the story for first time when I played, I just liked the game. Then for second time I took time for exploring things, doing all small quests, then I fell in love with the game. Felt like I was living in it. The best ever game I played. Thank you Rockstar for creating an alternate life. ❣️
Same. 1st playthrough I was always rushing to yellow on your map. Second playthrough I took time to just walk, and look. Even when I didnt have to. Much better experience.
I have the same experience. RDR1 was my favorite game ever as a kid, the only game I’ve ever 100%’ed and I did it by accident and John was like, my favorite person ever so my first play through was pretty much just filler until I could play as John… didn’t do any side missions or anything like that, did the bare minimum… I think towards the latter part of the game I just failed each mission as quickly as possible just to be able to skip to the end… But my second? I actually did quite a lot of the game and I loved it so much that I started a third playthrough… which I have about 120 hours in to it and I’m still in Chapter 2 lmao Got my legendary satchel, finished all the challenges I could, all the strangers I could and I’m currently trying to get as much of the compendium filled as I can before I move on the chapter 3
It's not a matter of graphics but things like these that truly make a game feel next gen. I can't get over the fact that rdr2 has both. Playing this game felt like falling in love for the first time.
@@parkyamato9450 yes, you're right, but the mechanic, physic, details, dialogues...ect make a game realistic and nice to play, compare GTA-5 to GTA-4, GTA-4 had ok graphics but it had a great physic and mechanic compared to It's next game Saint row 2 didn't have great graphics but the game was fun asf to play, i spent hours in it, warship gunner 2 graphics aren't good but the game mechanics made it so fun and entertaining to play Oh, or beamng drive, this didn't have good graphics but it's so realistic, it's so realistic now in a point where it's beating racing games, because racing games mostly cares about graphics but not really about the physic and mechanic Good graphics are good if they are backed up with a good mechanic, details and physic, because it would be nice to watch
@@parkyamato9450 hater stfu. He means immersive. Must blow to be so close minded as yourself. At least on the internet. I know u don't talk to people like this irl. Trying to contradict an opinion
This came out like 4 years ago, how did this not set a standard in gaming. 4 years ago they accomplished an absolute stunning work of art and every game should be held to a similar standard. Especially because tech has advanced since then. This game blows me away (currently replaying it)
Only reason this game doesn’t get the credit it gets is bc they butchered the online mode. Either way the story is a masterpiece id rather play with Arthur anyway than be a mute online
I just noticed the camera shake when the bear was approaching -- never noticed that in the game before, such a seamless way to make the whole scene more intense
The horse being scared of hostile animals is also in Online, and *really* annoying when you're trying to off-road through the swamp. Alligators *everywhere*
Little details like these are whats making me take my freakin' sweet time with the game. Yep, its my first time. I'm almost 100 hrs in and not yet explored the entire map. Still in act 4 or 5 and just recently found the joys of hunting. Going for that legendary satchel.
Damn, it will be a decade for a new game that can beat this realism, bcs this game takes literally 8 years to put all the details. It's not about the advance of the engine, but about the hardwork their put into this game
I really think advancement in gaming needs to be in the games themselves. It's been like 3 gens of hardware upgrades. A lot of games still play and feel like ps3 era even tho they look next gen on a nice tv
RDR2 is one of the best games I've ever played along with the likes GOW and Spider-Man. What a game and accomplishment by Rockstar. I hope to play RDR3 in the future if they ever make it.
No, that’s one of the least impressive details in this list. In terms of coding, it’s very simple too. Stuff like the actual horse animations, those are works of art. But the horse shoes appearing isn’t much of a detail.
@@deathwish-gg8wz As a 3D modeler myself and someone who has minimum coding experience, I can guarantee you that modeling and texturing those horseshoes wouldn't take 15 minutes, given that they're a company and obviously have the textures and materials ready for use. And the coding part isn't complicated either, specially for several professionals to work on it; I doubt it would take even a hour for such a feature to be applied into the game. I understand what you mean by that, but you could've used a better example, such as animal decomposition.
What impressed me most is actually how Rockstar can optimize the game really well. I run this game on an old Athlon! Medium-High settings still get me >30 fps.
The boat part in particular blew my mind when I first experienced it. I shot the boards just to see if they did an effect, and was impressed enough by that level of realism. You can imagine my shock when it actually started to fill with water and sank.
Yeah I love the detail, also that shooting the troughs and the water going down is really cool I bet most other games if you shot the side nothing would happen
Yeah it is sadly even though it would be pretty easy to do. Valve games do it all the time, too bad they don't really make games anymore with Alyx being the sole exception.
I used to doubt it until I finally got to play it in 2021, both ps4 and pc. One of the reasons I fell in love with this game is Arthur. He's a relatable character unlike someone like Trevor from GTA V.
@@carolrossi817 Same here, started storymode few months ago and got fast addicted to it, so much to do and always finding new things in the game, I love it 🤗
This game released in 2018 and set standards that are still yet to be matched. Graphically this game could still stand toe to toe with triple A titles in another 3-5 years from now. In terms of attention to detail the only other contender I think is TLOU2 and even that doesn’t come close. RDR2 is a masterpiece
The whole "If a girl is insulted, a man with fight for them" in the game happens to female online players too. I play as a female, and my friend dragged me and an npc told my friend to stop 2 or 3 times, then started to best her up. If I dragged her in front of him, he would do the same to me.
@@dyh One doesn't need to be a game developer to see if a game is boring to them or not. Yes people with other opinions exist and you need to get used to them or you are gonna cry.
"The horse is afraid of animals" A fact i'm sure anyone who's played RDO knows. Or at least, I do. My horse will cower in fear of just about everything, except bears. He'll chase bears down like they owe him carrots.
Different horses seem to master different fears. Most of my horses will cower at a snake, but I have one that'll chew them up for breakfast and stomp all over them. I also have another that'll stare down a charging grizzly like it's a kitten.
With the blood on clothes, if youre playing as John and come home with bloody clothes, Abigail will say something about how you shouldn't have blood on your clothes while your son is there
Holy shit, they even went as far as to add refraction to the glass from the molotov cocktail (if you don't know what refraction is, it's basically what makes things look bigger or smaller when looking through transparent things). I still find it a miracle that this game can run on hardware from 2013...
It's not really that impressive. They already have the shader/material applied to the bottle in the first place and it just stays that way for the fragments aswell
I'm seriously impressed. Especially the eating, decaying, the arching and the horse testicles are such an extra effort. Seriously, so much work for something most won't even notice...
Here's another detail: I've seen Sean (outside of a mission) loot a body and steal a horse. I personally didn't know he could do that, and was curious to see if this was on here. Did y'all know about this?
@@yousmel9330 I don’t blame them if they’re tired after having to work long days and nights to work on this game and add all of these details for 8 years. I would like more online content but if they’re done with it I’m not gonna get on them for it.
I have to say, the first time I played the game, I was certain I was controlling a dude down in UTAH or something. The shear amount of detail and sounds and interactions that are possible are truly satisfying and immersive. great video to highlight this! I had no idea the NPC ate food haha.
this is probably the best game ever because of it's details. Did any of you guys know that the NPCs have actual lives. If you secretly follow them, they will go to work, do daily activities like visit the post office, then return home to there families. amazing.
Seeing the details in this game and then imagining how detailed & realistic GTA6 is going to be gives me chills. I pray Rockstar includes nature & animals as much as they can in GTA6.
I love games that actually make me feel like it’s the real world, or at the very least is realistic Honestly my favorite part has to be the fact that the beard grows overtime, it makes customizing the beard way more impactful because if you make it shorter than you want that you can’t go back, I wish they added this feature to the actual multiplayer section of RDR2
Not really a fun of realistic games why's would i want to play as a human when I'm already one? Also some of these games have a lol your weapon broke mechanic that i don't like but yeah it's cool
My favorite detail is the hunting wounds, which is how we go about avoiding a bad pelt. The bruising depending on what weapon you use is brilliant. I try to hunt primary in arrows, but even hitting the pelt too low, you get some serious bruising. Not to mention when your gun is too powerful. It's nice to see such realism in a game so many cheat in. Ps. You missed the freckles on the female chests.
The first thing I noticed was that each individual branch brushes you and springs back up when I went a little off-path and was running through the forest. It just got better and better from there. Also, when you can't see the stars in a highly populated area, that's called light pollution.
This game doesn’t fail to amaze me to this day, still. Absolutely amazing and so far ahead of its time. Think of what games will look like in 20 years from now … 😳
Unless you want the game to be 1tb this is as far as we are gonna get. I still cannot wrap my head around how the devs were able to fit this much details into 130 gb still blows my mind
@@meandmycharlie9342 if it was a good looking game i would happily download something of that size. But yeah it’s amazing, easily one of the best games of our time
The 1st Crysis has a cool one like the last one listed. If you shoot from the top to bottom of an oil barrel you will see it correctly drain top to bottom. Love details like these.
GTA 5 released in 2013 and this released in 2018. Judging from the amount of detail they achieved between 5 years, I can't imagine wtf GTA 6 is going to be like 😂
It’s also the things everyone notices but are still cool, like in most games when you shoot and arrow or a throwing knife it’s gone but in RDR2 you can run back up and pick it up. Or that you can actually use it as a close range knife
This game is the biggest waste in history. Full of details and with the best graphics, but totally neglected in gameplay, mechanics, targeting and coverage system, etc. An open world that feels totally empty and repetitive. If only they would have spent some time making it fun and not just visually beautiful...
@@fuckenciollantaso7662 I completely disagree with your opinion to a degree I find it laughable but I respect your view although I do has one question, did you beat the game?
@@PuffyKat five times. five times. trying to enjoy the game to the fullest but without success. clumsy mechanics and rough gameplay spoil the amazing story and beautiful graphics.
RDR2 is my favorite game ever. I think it's perfect. I remember being like 250 hours in & continually being surprised. Elden Ring does the same for me.
I won’t be surprised if we see more such videos and discover more from this legendary game when we all young gamers reach 70 or 80 plus years of age. This is the game for life.
This game blew my mind; I recall visiting the movie tent and seeing the projectionist sitting there, reading the newspaper only to actively operate the camera...who was the same guy that took your ticket. I thought Skyrim was detailed in amazing ways when it released, I have that same feeling with RDR2.
A lot of these things aren't like insanely difficult to implement. It's just nice that they thought about it and figured that it would be fun to out it in the game.
You know how you can go around other sandboxes on a killing spree or start a shooting just because? Besides the hostiles NPCs in this game I found it really hard to kill an NPC just because; like, they were way too human. Fantastic and shocking.
I never thought I would see the day I get so excited that food from the plate actually moves and eating is so realistic! Thank goodness the days of NPCS eating a never ending meal are gone! 😂 Good ol' rockstar 🥰
What’s it been, 5 years since RDR2 released? Rockstar have been working on GTA6 since 2014, just IMAGINE the detail, effort and dedication put into that game, it’s gonna blow all of our expectations out the roof man I can’t wait.
I know he talked about the owls eyes but the first time I saw a cougar's eyes were one color and the crocodile's was completely different, that blew my mind.
They worked so hard on this game. I wish online got the same treatment.. but I’ve been replaying the story instead.. there’s so much missing from online mode that story mode has and to see these details is just awesome.
The first detail I encountered that told me this game was serious was when I was chasing this small animal; the thing just dropped dead, I didn't know what happened. Then it got up and took off running again... It was an opossum... Playing dead... Blew my mind.
Yo I didn’t know that existed
Lmao
There is even a hunting challenge 9 i think, that requires you to kill an opossum playing possum
Wait... that's in the game???
The best thing is that the game gives you the prompt that you can skin the possum. When you hit the button, the possum stands back up and runs away.
You forgot to show that when it rains the paths become muddy and you create footprints and horseprints. These then fill with rain. When the sun comes out the water evaporates and the tracks dry out, but the tracks remain. Totally crazy!

@@sureshcompany1689 Yes it is. Period.
Wow.. never realized that NPC’s actually ate food. That, and that wild horses don’t have horseshoes..
I’m on my 7th play through, and am still learning little minute details. This game was crafted with the utmost love and care, and it shows. Absolutely mind blowing. I think it’ll be a long time until we see another game crafted on the same level.
7th? Now that is dedication. After the ending, I wasn't so sure that I could stomach another play-thru. The emotions experienced at the end was too raw and hitting too close for comfort. Going to wait a bit until memories goes partially away before I play it again.
@@groenhoender i just got the game about a few days ago and am roughly 12% completion, Is the story really as good as everyone says it is? I have no doubts I just wanna hear other’s thoughts
Same it's crazy how detail is extreme !
@@peecee_ Oh, the story is absolutely awesome on its own. A real rollercoaster. But take your time, and explore everywhere. There is a lot one can do, aside of the story, ie. the side challenges and more.
@@peecee_ oh fam the story is the best. dont skip any cutscene. play every side mission. follow every NPC story. dont rush through the game. take it slooooow. play like arthur. Do them upgrades, crafts and hunting. I speak for everyone when i say I wish i could erase my memory of playing this game so I could experiene it raw once again. I finished the game a year ago and now about to start it again.
Seeing this makes me want to go back and play it again. Playing RDR2 for the first time was such an amazing experience.
The first playthrough was so good, felt so immersive as if I was living in that world. No game as come even close yet. Valhalla tried but failed, doesn't even compare
truly was. it really is such a great game, online is not tho
I wish I could wipe my memory and play it all over again😭
I never finished it when I found out Arthur Morgan dies before the game ends
I downloaded it a couple days ago. I will start the journey of discovery tomorrow
I just love it when games have an excessive amount of details like this. It just makes it so much more enjoyable.
Yeah, but when it gets too far, then no..it can be both an advantage and disadvantage
Games? Plural? Haven't seen any other game that comes close
When I finished just the story for first time when I played, I just liked the game. Then for second time I took time for exploring things, doing all small quests, then I fell in love with the game. Felt like I was living in it. The best ever game I played. Thank you Rockstar for creating an alternate life. ❣️
Same. 1st playthrough I was always rushing to yellow on your map. Second playthrough I took time to just walk, and look. Even when I didnt have to.
Much better experience.
@@karenamyx2205 i did that the first and only playthrough already. I never rush any game. Always exploring and observing as many as I can. 😎
@@thedutchfisherman7078same still exploring just got the game two days ago honestly the best game I ever played gta 5 with mods is close
I have the same experience.
RDR1 was my favorite game ever as a kid, the only game I’ve ever 100%’ed and I did it by accident and John was like, my favorite person ever so my first play through was pretty much just filler until I could play as John… didn’t do any side missions or anything like that, did the bare minimum… I think towards the latter part of the game I just failed each mission as quickly as possible just to be able to skip to the end…
But my second? I actually did quite a lot of the game and I loved it so much that I started a third playthrough… which I have about 120 hours in to it and I’m still in Chapter 2 lmao
Got my legendary satchel, finished all the challenges I could, all the strangers I could and I’m currently trying to get as much of the compendium filled as I can before I move on the chapter 3
It's not a matter of graphics but things like these that truly make a game feel next gen. I can't get over the fact that rdr2 has both. Playing this game felt like falling in love for the first time.
Who cares about the graphics when your game is so realistic
@@yacinealg152 the game wouldn't be realistic with good graphics tho?
@@parkyamato9450 yes, you're right, but the mechanic, physic, details, dialogues...ect make a game realistic and nice to play, compare GTA-5 to GTA-4, GTA-4 had ok graphics but it had a great physic and mechanic compared to It's next game
Saint row 2 didn't have great graphics but the game was fun asf to play, i spent hours in it, warship gunner 2 graphics aren't good but the game mechanics made it so fun and entertaining to play
Oh, or beamng drive, this didn't have good graphics but it's so realistic, it's so realistic now in a point where it's beating racing games, because racing games mostly cares about graphics but not really about the physic and mechanic
Good graphics are good if they are backed up with a good mechanic, details and physic, because it would be nice to watch
The most boring game i've ever played. disgusting
@@parkyamato9450 hater stfu. He means immersive. Must blow to be so close minded as yourself. At least on the internet. I know u don't talk to people like this irl. Trying to contradict an opinion
This came out like 4 years ago, how did this not set a standard in gaming. 4 years ago they accomplished an absolute stunning work of art and every game should be held to a similar standard. Especially because tech has advanced since then. This game blows me away (currently replaying it)
Because, crap is king.
Only reason this game doesn’t get the credit it gets is bc they butchered the online mode. Either way the story is a masterpiece id rather play with Arthur anyway than be a mute online
I haven't played online, so it isn't like GTA 5 online?
Closer to 3 years but yeah.
@@Randobando1 it's like OG 2013 gta online, looks good, but little to do and no Opressors repeatedly killing you.
I just noticed the camera shake when the bear was approaching -- never noticed that in the game before, such a seamless way to make the whole scene more intense
The horse being scared of hostile animals is also in Online, and *really* annoying when you're trying to off-road through the swamp. Alligators *everywhere*
Normalmente uma pessoa inteligente evita passar pelo pântano justamente por isso, então não sei o motivo de ficar irritado

Right on brother. Any updates?

RDR2 is one of the best games I've ever played along with the likes GOW and Spider-Man. What a game and accomplishment by Rockstar. I hope to play RDR3 in the future if they ever make it.
The question will your PC run RDR 3 on high settings ?
@@maxbuha5983 by the time the game came out a pc player should have upgrade their pc twice lol based on how long gta 6 is taking
RDR 3 is expected to talk about what Arthur Dutch did in Blackwater, according to the flashback of Rockstar.

What is the Spiderman game?
The fact that wild horses dont have horseshoes and horses from stables do is incredible
You know someone had to design those horseshoes for a couple hours just for like 6 people to see it.
@@deathwish-gg8wz we'll they got paid
No, that’s one of the least impressive details in this list. In terms of coding, it’s very simple too.
Stuff like the actual horse animations, those are works of art. But the horse shoes appearing isn’t much of a detail.
@@deathwish-gg8wz As a 3D modeler myself and someone who has minimum coding experience, I can guarantee you that modeling and texturing those horseshoes wouldn't take 15 minutes, given that they're a company and obviously have the textures and materials ready for use. And the coding part isn't complicated either, specially for several professionals to work on it; I doubt it would take even a hour for such a feature to be applied into the game.
I understand what you mean by that, but you could've used a better example, such as animal decomposition.
I love how npc had the “fight” response to being followed and the other had the “flight” response
Honestly I’ve always looked past the RDR games but the attention the devs put into this game makes me want to play it
me too until i decided to play it after ignoring it for 2 years one of my favorite games now
Play it. The game is a MASTERPIECE. And you need to play the story, not online. That's where it's at.
Definitely give the game a shot, you won't regret it at all.
If you play this, it will be the ride of your life.
What impressed me most is actually how Rockstar can optimize the game really well. I run this game on an old Athlon! Medium-High settings still get me >30 fps.
Yup, really makes up for the nightmare that was Grand Theft Auto 3 - I think they learned a lot about processor & code optimization from that title.
Integrated gpu?
@@bazilday3960 I have RX 470D. It is severely bottlenecked by the Athlon.
@@budiisnadi true
Yes, Even on consoles, one of the few games that actually ran at native 4k on last gen Xbox One X! While being the best looking one! that's insane!
The boat part in particular blew my mind when I first experienced it. I shot the boards just to see if they did an effect, and was impressed enough by that level of realism. You can imagine my shock when it actually started to fill with water and sank.
Yeah I love the detail, also that shooting the troughs and the water going down is really cool I bet most other games if you shot the side nothing would happen
Only you better make sure you're playing as Arthur and not John before you put a hole in the boat 🤣
6:53
Its interesting how the camera shakes to show that Arthur is actually shaking with fear
Im really impressed with the physics of stones when you blow them up with dynamites...that's quite damn rare in games, also the npc eating
Yeah it is sadly even though it would be pretty easy to do.
Valve games do it all the time, too bad they don't really make games anymore with Alyx being the sole exception.
You don't even have to blow them up. Walking on them breaks them free too.
4 years later and still finding more details, rdr2 is such a great game
Best Game ever, I am addicted to it, and Still Playing it, this is a Game that will not Die, Does everyone agree with me?
I found RDR2 at the start of covid, been playing it every day since! Just finished a 8 month playthrough, there is so much to do!
I used to doubt it until I finally got to play it in 2021, both ps4 and pc. One of the reasons I fell in love with this game is Arthur. He's a relatable character unlike someone like Trevor from GTA V.
@@carolrossi817 Same here, started storymode few months ago and got fast addicted to it, so much to do and always finding new things in the game, I love it 🤗
Story mode won't die but online mode will die soon.
I.m a gamer and i can say whit all sincerely this is not a game .. this is digital art !
This game released in 2018 and set standards that are still yet to be matched. Graphically this game could still stand toe to toe with triple A titles in another 3-5 years from now. In terms of attention to detail the only other contender I think is TLOU2 and even that doesn’t come close. RDR2 is a masterpiece

"The horse is afraid of animals"
A fact i'm sure anyone who's played RDO knows. Or at least, I do. My horse will cower in fear of just about everything, except bears. He'll chase bears down like they owe him carrots.
That horse is a keeper !
They owe him lunch money
Different horses seem to master different fears. Most of my horses will cower at a snake, but I have one that'll chew them up for breakfast and stomp all over them. I also have another that'll stare down a charging grizzly like it's a kitten.
@@SnidgetAsphodel wich breed is the snake stomper?!
@@leadbelly1495 My turkoman! xD But honestly, I truly dont believe breed has anything to do with personality in this game.
With the blood on clothes, if youre playing as John and come home with bloody clothes, Abigail will say something about how you shouldn't have blood on your clothes while your son is there
The fact that npcs will literally keep their heads above water is crazy
Holy shit, they even went as far as to add refraction to the glass from the molotov cocktail (if you don't know what refraction is, it's basically what makes things look bigger or smaller when looking through transparent things). I still find it a miracle that this game can run on hardware from 2013...
I learned refraction from Baldi
If you mean xbox one that hardware is decent for it's time. Developers just didn't know how to optimize thier games the right way yet. Until now
It's not really that impressive. They already have the shader/material applied to the bottle in the first place and it just stays that way for the fragments aswell
@@Sebastian-yl7nq Then why the other games are not doing it ?
@DONT ok they won't. Bye.
What an amazing game. Seriously, this is the crown Jewel of game design in this generation.
Rockstar is exceptional with their games. It's too bad the same can't be said for the online portions or the GTA remasters.
Online is bloody hard you have to have all this plus on 30 other screen other infinite servers
RockStar makes a good game, that's what matters.
@Sebastian Martinez I think he means RDO
Take2 have teams who work on different things. When the original Rockstar devs (Houser brothers and GTA OGs) work on something it's always exceptional
I'm seriously impressed. Especially the eating, decaying, the arching and the horse testicles are such an extra effort. Seriously, so much work for something most won't even notice...
You know its gonna be a good one if it has horste testicles alright
Why horse testicles... A bit sussy
Here's another detail:
I've seen Sean (outside of a mission) loot a body and steal a horse. I personally didn't know he could do that, and was curious to see if this was on here. Did y'all know about this?
4:03 Dutch: What are you doing back here?
Me: getting a good look at molly :)
The level of improvement from 1 to 2 was amazing it’s truly unlike any other out there even online is Great
sadly they stopped giving a damn about updating the game 😔
@@yousmel9330 I don’t blame them if they’re tired after having to work long days and nights to work on this game and add all of these details for 8 years. I would like more online content but if they’re done with it I’m not gonna get on them for it.
What is crazy about this is that you can play the entire story without noticing these well crafted little details.
I have to say, the first time I played the game, I was certain I was controlling a dude down in UTAH or something. The shear amount of detail and sounds and interactions that are possible are truly satisfying and immersive. great video to highlight this! I had no idea the NPC ate food haha.
This game is everything cyberpunk 2077 wanted to be
tbh I wanted Cyberpunk to be like RDR2 but just in the sci-fi way it is
this is probably the best game ever because of it's details. Did any of you guys know that the NPCs have actual lives. If you secretly follow them, they will go to work, do daily activities like visit the post office, then return home to there families. amazing.
I played this game a lot, but after 2 years I still see new details. Thanks 😊
The details always catch me off guard like when someone says “that better be your blood” when you have blood on you
Seeing the details in this game and then imagining how detailed & realistic GTA6 is going to be gives me chills. I pray Rockstar includes nature & animals as much as they can in GTA6.
By the time they finally come out with GTA6 we will be jacking in to play it like in the Matrix.
I love games that actually make me feel like it’s the real world, or at the very least is realistic
Honestly my favorite part has to be the fact that the beard grows overtime, it makes customizing the beard way more impactful because if you make it shorter than you want that you can’t go back, I wish they added this feature to the actual multiplayer section of RDR2
Not really a fun of realistic games why's would i want to play as a human when I'm already one? Also some of these games have a lol your weapon broke mechanic that i don't like but yeah it's cool

My favorite detail is the hunting wounds, which is how we go about avoiding a bad pelt.
The bruising depending on what weapon you use is brilliant.
I try to hunt primary in arrows, but even hitting the pelt too low, you get some serious bruising.
Not to mention when your gun is too powerful.
It's nice to see such realism in a game so many cheat in.
Ps. You missed the freckles on the female chests.
NPCs eating food blew my mind
They do it in the sims but this is alot cooler
That decomposing animals one is absolutely unreal. What a game
The first thing I noticed was that each individual branch brushes you and springs back up when I went a little off-path and was running through the forest. It just got better and better from there. Also, when you can't see the stars in a highly populated area, that's called light pollution.
This game doesn’t fail to amaze me to this day, still. Absolutely amazing and so far ahead of its time. Think of what games will look like in 20 years from now … 😳

GTA 5 released in 2013 and this released in 2018. Judging from the amount of detail they achieved between 5 years, I can't imagine wtf GTA 6 is going to be like 😂

I won’t be surprised if we see more such videos and discover more from this legendary game when we all young gamers reach 70 or 80 plus years of age. This is the game for life.
I still cannot get over that this game came out on a last generation console. It did things current gen games can't figure out how to do.
The amount of insane detail they put into this game is crazy❤
I liked my own comment😢
Game history number one : Red Dead redemption 2
This game blew my mind; I recall visiting the movie tent and seeing the projectionist sitting there, reading the newspaper only to actively operate the camera...who was the same guy that took your ticket. I thought Skyrim was detailed in amazing ways when it released, I have that same feeling with RDR2.
This game can’t even be called a masterpiece, it’s beyond that! What I wouldn’t do to be able to experience this game for the first time again
no it's not. not even shoes for your personal horse. unrealistic.
Bc the bounty system sucks
I wouldn't call it that for the simple reason of how they dropped the ball on the gameplay.
Best rockstar game without a doubt. It’s a shame they were so quick to abandon it.
Did they seriously abandon this masterpiece?
@@meandmycharlie9342 they did with online
I can't believe there isn't dlc tbh
A lot of these things aren't like insanely difficult to implement. It's just nice that they thought about it and figured that it would be fun to out it in the game.
This is literally the best advertisement for a game I have ever seen. I haven’t played any games in many years, but suddenly I want to play this one.
Que perfeição 😍
Jogo lindo😭😭😭😭
To są na prawdę szalone szczegóły, ta gra jest niesamowita. Jedna z najlepiej dopracowanych gier .
And then they say it's not the most beautiful game in the world.
MASTERPIECE👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You know how you can go around other sandboxes on a killing spree or start a shooting just because? Besides the hostiles NPCs in this game I found it really hard to kill an NPC just because; like, they were way too human. Fantastic and shocking.
I never thought I would see the day I get so excited that food from the plate actually moves and eating is so realistic! Thank goodness the days of NPCS eating a never ending meal are gone! 😂 Good ol' rockstar 🥰
What’s it been, 5 years since RDR2 released?
Rockstar have been working on GTA6 since 2014, just IMAGINE the detail, effort and dedication put into that game,
it’s gonna blow all of our expectations out the roof man I can’t wait.
I know he talked about the owls eyes but the first time I saw a cougar's eyes were one color and the crocodile's was completely different, that blew my mind.
6:40...naturally the cameraman shooting this incident is peeing his pants? :D
The boat sinking with holes in it is nuts! I had been sleeping on this game and I just started playing it and I am blown away.
This game is the closest we've come to virtual reality. Scary to think what the future of gaming is gonna be like.
They worked so hard on this game. I wish online got the same treatment.. but I’ve been replaying the story instead.. there’s so much missing from online mode that story mode has and to see these details is just awesome.
Attention to detail is just phenomenal 👌
Everytime a game like this releases we expect it to be the new standard. 2018 and still only a few to none games came close to this.
Yep. RDR2 became the standard for AAA open world games, and MW 2019 became the standard for first person shooters
