This is how a video game should be made. This will go down in history as the best video game that was ever made. Man, if only Rockstar actually listened to their fans and kept this game alive.
My sister laughed at me when I cried during this part. Truth is, people who don't play and experience these games will never truly understand what it was like to play through moments like this.
I had the ending spoiled pretty early on so I held off on finishing it. Finally played through chapter 6 last night and it broke me, it fucking broke me. X,D
RedWolf same. I got the game at Christmas and started playing in January. Only finished it 3 days ago and I knew what the ending would be and didn’t want to get there. A part of me wants to start again but I can’t go through Arthur’s death again lol
This made my cry more than his actual death scene.. Such a sad song but so fitting to this sad moment when all we gamers knew it was his last peaceful ride on a horse.
It’s just perfection, the entire game is. Can’t say that about many games though. This scene is my favourite by far, a man who knew he was dying, hid that he had TB for as long as he could and went out on one last ride with his legendary horse
Multiplayer focused games are so empty, single player games are packed with emotions, so beautiful. I will ALWAYS prefer a good story rather than a multiplayer match.

Its later now but I remember reading an article on the topic of finishing a story game and they used this game as an example considering the length of it.

People say the dishonorable ending makes more sense but it really doesn't. I got proof of this because the TB can kill you but can be cured if you take your life nice and easy but Arthur said he couldn't, he saved John and was attacked by Micah, even with his TB weakening his body over the course of Chapter 5-6, he fought Micah pretty good even with his body being severely weakened by the disease. The fight between the two made the TB stronger and progressed way faster and it killed Arthur. Micah was the cause of why the TB killed him way faster than sooner. So that can be John's redemption for Arthur.

When this song plays all you can do is reflect, this song suits this moment so well and was a great way to start the wrap up of arthurs story, the last moment of arthurs peace (depending on which ending you choose)
I'm a 25 year old man and this brought me to tears... It made me think a lot on quite a few personal choice's I've made within my twenty five years on this Earth, losing Arthur is like losing a family member, a best friend... It took me a couple of months to complete his side though.
@@OneWhoWaits I was 23(times flies, it feel liek it was yesterday) when I played this and acted in a similar way. I think Arthur story influenced my in a way that I can't really say...but I feel it's a good way. Some games have this power.
Thats where I shed all my tears, I did all the side missions and such, I explored all I could and helped everyone and hearing the words from people you helped is really tears-worth I cried like a baby.
I remember it was 1 am, I had just gotten to this part of the game and was shaking with sobs because I knew what was coming. It hurt so much to hear this song and know I was riding Arthur to his death. I still can’t bring myself to start the game over.
Funny how everyone were saying that Arthur was a bad character from the trailers and now here we all are crying over one of- if not the best character to ever grace gaming. God damn, I love this game - and Arthur! Edit: holy shit 3.3k likes?!
Fun fact: just finished this game today after playing for 3 years with Arthur. I didn't finished it for 3 years because I know Arthur going to die in the game so I spent my 3 years playing with him, going around the map, rob a train, playing poker, doing side mission, greetings every npc I found, etc. It makes me cry when this scene coming because all those years I've been playing as him is going to end.
I swear I felt so many emotions just suddenly come bubbling up after watching his good honor ending on the mountain. It's like, I've experienced his journey with my own eyes (like I was right there with him) from a rough start to a tragic finish; watched him go from a ruthless outlaw/Dutch's enforcer who blindly followed orders because he'd do anything for his gang, to a man trying to make peace with the world after: "For the first time in my life, I'm faced with an enemy I can't see, or put a bullet into." / "I guess I...I'm afraid." (that line right there broke me; hearing someone like Arthur Morgan admit that). When he died, that build-up with him hearing everyone thank him and calling him a good man, it made me happy and sad at the same time, because he still viewed himself as "bad" despite everything he did for Redemption. But having *our* horse die (I loved that horse like a daughter), combined with him telling Dutch: "I gave you everything I had"? Like damn, man. I've NEVER cared for a video game protagonist like I cared for Arthur. For some people, the game that "broke" them was The Last of Us, or The Witcher 3. For me it was RDR2. And the funny part is that I disliked cowboys before this game; thought they were all pretty boring. Even now, the cowboys in this game are the only ones I've ever liked. Don't know how this didn't win GOTY.
"Thank you, feller. You know there ain't enough kindness in this world, that's for sure." That line breaks me the most. Just the fact that a completely random stranger is enough to speak to Arthur in his final moments is really special. We're all strangers to most people in this world, but just one act of kindness is enough to make a friend.
@Poop From completing one of the last debt collection missions, you come across a guy loading a wagon with supplies before he gets attacked. You help him fight off the attackers but his wagon goes up in flames and he then reveals his pregnant wife and Arthur feels like shit. You can either take the money he offers or refuse, and if you are honourable enough to refuse, he says that line to you before leaving.
thats how u develop a character u make him bad in the begining than slowly make him good thn give him cruelst dead ever while being abandone by everyone. best game ever
If you ever studied english that’s literally how many books and movies work lol.. it’s called character progression and for example snape from Harry Potter that we thought was bad but turned to be good and died being good
I literally finished the main part of the game this morning and I was bawling like a baby. I'm glad I wasn't the only one emotionally invested by this game. Arthur is a real one.
@@uncle8536 Dude seriously, when we went back and just stared at his horse and put a hand on him. I got chills. That was so awesome! I had the same horse the entire game so it felt real.
I think this story is way heavier than a movie. In the movies, you watch the character for some hours, and you might fell touched. This game, you play it for days, weeks, months, then all that happens. Impossible not to cry.
Mano, eu zerei faz varios meses e eu penso em coisas da minha vida que o Arthur poderia ter feito diferente ate hj. É como se fosse alguem da minha familia, um cara que eu vi crescer e que eu me inspiro hj. ta loko. é o jogo da minha vida, até então
I hope rockstar comes back strong again with rdr3 they have got 2 solid games in the past for the red dead redemption franchise I hope they don’t screw rdr3 if it ever gets announced
Yeah i do, dunno why but i do, sometimes i just feel i need to do this. Espessiely after im drunk. I even named my son Arthur. Artur in Polish, cuz im from Poland
BayernMann so sad arthur couldn’t of just ran with mary. He would of probably lived then. Lived a happy life too until he died of old age with the love of his life. But i guess, he didn’t deserve that... :(
I bought this game when it was released...didn't like it initially, stopped playing somewhere in the middle of the second chapter. Now, in 2024, close to Christmas I thought it would be good to at finish it. Completed the storyline in a few days, totally addicted. This scene has changed me, I feel emptiness. Absolute perfection
I know it's a game, but there's a huge lesson here. It's never too late to do good. This will stick with me until death, I hope it sticks to you guys too.
I played rdr2 first and then played rdr. John's death is so violent. It felt uglier to watch than Arthur's. Especially because he stood for so long after.

Arthur is a character that single handedly inspired me to be a better person. I love him so much.
He embodies selflessness and bravery. I'm glad you are able to see that.. To be strong, is to be weak but to see yourself as you truly are..

When this song plays all you can do is reflect, this song suits this moment so well and was a great way to start the wrap up of arthurs story, the last moment of arthurs peace (depending on which ending you choose)
Arthur reminds us all of our selves. An ass, a hero, a jerk, an idol, a loser, a friend... Most importantly a friend.
A brother
A son
A family
A mentor
A Inspiration
I'm a full grown man cried like a child on this scene...
I'm a 25 year old man and this brought me to tears... It made me think a lot on quite a few personal choice's I've made within my twenty five years on this Earth, losing Arthur is like losing a family member, a best friend...
It took me a couple of months to complete his side though.
And that’s ok
@@OneWhoWaits I was 23(times flies, it feel liek it was yesterday) when I played this and acted in a similar way. I think Arthur story influenced my in a way that I can't really say...but I feel it's a good way. Some games have this power.

Arthur Morgan is one of the greatest characters in all of fiction, full stop.
It was a privilege to ride with him.
Fun fact: just finished this game today after playing for 3 years with Arthur. I didn't finished it for 3 years because I know Arthur going to die in the game so I spent my 3 years playing with him, going around the map, rob a train, playing poker, doing side mission, greetings every npc I found, etc. It makes me cry when this scene coming because all those years I've been playing as him is going to end.

I just started crying at that part...
Most emotional moment in a video game i ever experienced
When Arthur Morgan died, it was like I had lost a family member. I have never felt so close to a protagonist in any game that i’ve played
I felt it too. He was like a big brother I never had. Watching him die was pure torture.
ARRUABARRENA GIRÓN URKO I did
Deniz Erdoğan I know.... I'm still not over it
@@kozukioden3050 you say the true word"Arthur is the big brother that we never had"i think the same things...
I swear I felt so many emotions just suddenly come bubbling up after watching his good honor ending on the mountain. It's like, I've experienced his journey with my own eyes (like I was right there with him) from a rough start to a tragic finish; watched him go from a ruthless outlaw/Dutch's enforcer who blindly followed orders because he'd do anything for his gang, to a man trying to make peace with the world after: "For the first time in my life, I'm faced with an enemy I can't see, or put a bullet into." / "I guess I...I'm afraid." (that line right there broke me; hearing someone like Arthur Morgan admit that). When he died, that build-up with him hearing everyone thank him and calling him a good man, it made me happy and sad at the same time, because he still viewed himself as "bad" despite everything he did for Redemption. But having *our* horse die (I loved that horse like a daughter), combined with him telling Dutch: "I gave you everything I had"? Like damn, man. I've NEVER cared for a video game protagonist like I cared for Arthur.
For some people, the game that "broke" them was The Last of Us, or The Witcher 3. For me it was RDR2. And the funny part is that I disliked cowboys before this game; thought they were all pretty boring. Even now, the cowboys in this game are the only ones I've ever liked. Don't know how this didn't win GOTY.
"Thank you, feller. You know there ain't enough kindness in this world, that's for sure."
That line breaks me the most. Just the fact that a completely random stranger is enough to speak to Arthur in his final moments is really special. We're all strangers to most people in this world, but just one act of kindness is enough to make a friend.
@Poop From completing one of the last debt collection missions, you come across a guy loading a wagon with supplies before he gets attacked. You help him fight off the attackers but his wagon goes up in flames and he then reveals his pregnant wife and Arthur feels like shit. You can either take the money he offers or refuse, and if you are honourable enough to refuse, he says that line to you before leaving.
Wadayatalkingbeet
“There’s a good man within you, but he is wrestling with a giant”.
I love that Arthur remembers that in his final moments; I remembered that mission immediately because that line is so well-written and delivered
For me it was the Jimmy Brooks line for some reason.
"You saved my life. You're a good man"
Inmediately after hearing that i started tearing up.
thats how u develop a character u make him bad in the begining than slowly make him good thn give him cruelst dead ever while being abandone by everyone. best game ever
He wasn't abandoned
If you ever studied english that’s literally how many books and movies work lol.. it’s called character progression and for example snape from Harry Potter that we thought was bad but turned to be good and died being good

"You're my brother"
"I know."

@Roy Vice imagin a telltale game made by rockstar
This 🙏
@Roy Vice well said.
I think this story is way heavier than a movie. In the movies, you watch the character for some hours, and you might fell touched. This game, you play it for days, weeks, months, then all that happens. Impossible not to cry.
RDR2 is written like a book
I played this game for 3 years, and damn...
Mano, eu zerei faz varios meses e eu penso em coisas da minha vida que o Arthur poderia ter feito diferente ate hj. É como se fosse alguem da minha familia, um cara que eu vi crescer e que eu me inspiro hj. ta loko. é o jogo da minha vida, até então
The fact that you literally are that character since you control him contributes so much to this.
yes sir.
“There’s a good man within you, but he’s wrestling with a giant”
This isn't a game, it's art.
It'll take at least another 20 years til we get another game like this one
Not just art..masterpiece
I hope rockstar comes back strong again with rdr3 they have got 2 solid games in the past for the red dead redemption franchise I hope they don’t screw rdr3 if it ever gets announced
Why can’t it be both?
Rdr3 should be about Dutch as the protagonist, with gameplay utilizing Arther and other camp members to strategize Dutch's goals
Anyone just watches this every few months just to cry their eyes off again?
Yeah i do, dunno why but i do, sometimes i just feel i need to do this. Espessiely after im drunk. I even named my son Arthur. Artur in Polish, cuz im from Poland

“There’s a good man within you, but he’s wrestling with a giant.” God that hit me so deep it made me cry.
