Oh, me too, man. Me too. What I would give to play the game without knowing any of the major plot either, I regret playing this when I did as I had it spoiled before finishing the game (pretty much all of the deaths and their causes.) It still left a big impact on me but damn. I could only imagine playing this entire game for the first time without knowing what was to come, but I'm happy for moments like these that are just so beautifully immersive.
I always tell my friends, I wish there was a machine I can step into which complete erases my memory of this game. Nothing else though, that would be bad 😂
I only finished the story before the Epilogue a few weeks back. I still need to finish the Epilogue and in the 2 years the game has been out, I wasn't spoiled once and I got to experience the whole story and didn't know anything and I'm so glad that happened because the whole story is good.
"May I... stand unshaken... Amid... Amidsts of crash of worlds..." This song perfectly embodies Arthur... He was a man who was born into the life of The Old West. The life of an outlaw was all he ever knew... So, when his world began to crash with the changing of the modern world, he stood unshaken... For those he cared about. Even as he was dying, even as the modern day tried to be rid of him and his kind, he was unshaken... For himself... For everyone. For Sadie... For Abigail... For Jack... and for his brother, John... Always gonna miss Arthur...
It began to rain as the music played for me and a storm rolled in. Due to the lyrics I legit thought that was scripted and it felt so dam epic as he rode with lighting bolts striking in the distance. I'm just now realising it wasnt and how I got by luck a treat of a scene.
@@MegMage for me, in RDR1, the best time for the ride into Mexico when Far Away plays, is in the middle of the night, like after midnight in the game. There’s something about riding across the desert plains late at night, accompanied by those smooth guitar strings…that’s just so serene to me. But hearing Unshaken during a storm…that’s POWERFUL,
@@The_Enclave_Offical You sure? I always played high honour (though I didn't know about the honour system first time) so I'd be surprised if I had low honour by that point.
To be honest, as a player that has played almost every thing that's out there... on the scale up to perfection RDR2 is like the top dog for me. Everything in consideration, it's as close as we've come so far in games, IMO.
Two of the most emotional moments in the game. This and the last ride to Beaver Hollow. Both times it was just Arthur riding a horse and reflecting, but few things have ever hit harder.
Epic moment in the game. Once I realized it was D’Angelo (when he starts singing out and hitting the falsetto), that made it even more epic as I’m a huge fan of Voodoo (the album) and always respected his pen.
During this ride Arthur learned many truths.....he realized it was all coming to a end and he realized Dutch had faults and the people who masked them were gone.
;( Arthur riding back not as just a son of Dutch....but as his own man, finally. And Arthur made sure that he was going to do his best to leave a good imprint on this world on his own-terms, before he passed.
Honestly no matter who, this game can break any person. I had a friend who was SERIOUSLY a tough guy gangster wannabe, but after playing this game he felt sooooo broken.
Many people miss this song because they walk to the shady belle. During this mission stealing the horse to get back to Shady Belle doesn’t make you lose honour.
Rdr2 has the best story, the way they touch the emotions of the main character, this game had emotion happiness, sadness, loyalty, plot twist betrayal. This is a game that can be played over an over without getting sick of it recommend 10/10
This is so awesome that you posted this. I just experienced this scene for the first time last night and had to come to YT to see if someone had this posted. Gives me goosebumps!
dude, i had the same reaction, and after played this scene, that song became one of my favs of all times. and always i remember this scene my body shivers. RDR2 is a real masterpiece.
This song perfectly encapsulates Arthur’s return from guarma. His family/gang is falling apart, they’ve lost all they’re money, all hope is dying, but he must stand unshaken and push on to salvage what’s left. Coming from a man’s perspective, it’s also just what’s expected of us, to stand unfazed and unshaken in the face of the world, however many times it faces us with insurmountable odds.
This really shows how music can affect a scene, if not for the music this is just a horse ride that has happened hundreds of times already throughout the story
I genuinely loved you reaction to this! D'Angleo is my favorite Neo Soul singer he making amazing music, I havent played this game yet but the song has powerful lyrics but playing this game makes the words even more powerful!
Arthur never dies in my version…I just keep playing over and over again. For me, this was the only game I’ve played, to ever make me relate and actually get upset when the character died. It was almost embarrassing to tear up over a video game character but that’s how amazing the story and the experience was. Thank you rockstar for creating a game that never loses its entertainment value (story mode only)…online not so much
bro this hit so hard on my second play through. As soon as the music kicked in all I could think of was Arthur looking at the sunrise and taking his last breath
Damnit, I swear to you I cried like a kid with cinematic mode and the max volume on my headphones, fucking insane. For any reason this song touch my heart.
not how i thought i'd get new D'angelo music, but i'll take it. the hopeless optimist in me wishes we got a whole album of exactly this, but i've been here since brown sugar, i know better ...
I’m on my 3rd play through and I got to this part of the game and said let me go look this up and see othe peoples reaction.. and as I expected I’m not disappointed
Usually hate these “reaction videos” but I gotta say - I’ve long been a D’Angelo fan - the man remains a singular artist expanding and reforming his sound with each album and operates as an anomaly with only a handful of albums (3 proper albums over 25 years) and absolutely no filler on those albums. I also was an avid gamer through the PS1 - PS2 eras and some PC gaming - when I all but stopped playing games around 2005 or so… This last February I was gifted a PS5 randomly by a company I broker a good bit of business for and I thought well my daughters will love to have this. First game I purchased was Elden Ring as it was the toast of gaming at that time and still is to some degree - that game is also a masterpiece. I couldn’t really get into much after Elden ring - it was so expansive and so meticulous in its pacing… I had D’Angelo playlist playing on TH-cam over my home theater one day and heard unshaken come on and was very familiar when it came out in 2018 - but I always thought it was just a one off single by D - as he’s done this in the past - when I started looking at the comments people were talking about how amazing it was in the Game “RDR2” and also how during its development D was a regular “secret tester” for Rockstar and a massive fan of it in general and I was like damn! I have to play this game now!! Haha I did remember vaguely enjoying RD Revolver on PS2 Fast forward to today - I’m just past this part in the game (just after the Pinkerton raid on the short lived Lagras base) and I have to say, it also gives me chills just thinking about those moments riding back after Guarma… superb game design and excellent placement and tone in regard to the song. Makes me love D’Angelo that much more man! So amazing to see where gaming has evolved and also rockstars evolution as a studio - I remember playing the first GTA off a floppy drive on a PC and thinking the cut scenes were so unreal… gaming has truly evolved into an art form that matches and in this instance with RDR2 surpasses what Television and film can do. Not only is the writing and storytelling of gaming now on par with the “Breaking Bad’s” and “The Godfather’s” but the visual and interactive style transcends those experiences by placing you there and we now have the technology to make these games photorealistic and fully engrossing. Something that was only dreamed about when I was just a boy playing Final Fantasy 7 on a PS1… thinking man this is the pinnacle of gaming! Haha! So glad to have experienced this game to this point and I’m taking my sweet time with every side mission and quest to soak it all in. The first play through of these types of games are something to be treasured forever and something deeply personal 🙏🏽 loved your video! ❤
I've been playing the story mode for my first time and had just got to where I have to mission to save John but when this song was playing, I was bopping my head the whole time as a Texan boy
I've read and watched, and watched and played, and played and read. No hammer hits as hard as the moment that you realise you've been holding hope when there's not much or any to hold. Arthur survives alone, he rides alone, he's met by alone. And this eeeeefffffing song just casually lights the way. ;_____;
Not gonna lie, i cracked when this played out. I had just begun to make the turn to the light with his character. I had to put the game down for a day or so. This song and story struck some interesting chords with me. I look forward to the heartbreak when I reach the end of his story.
I wished I haven’t seen any rdr2 video, so I’d play the game w/o knowing any of the plot, I’ve unfortunately played through the whole game knowing all of the major deaths, I never seen this scene on yt, so to play it gave me huge chills and I’d give anything to play this for the first time again

Find a pal and tell him hit you with a metal bar. I heard it helps for having amnesia.
Fun fact: if you play this song to a glass of water, it'll instantly turn into a bottle of bourbon. Its just that smooth
*Kentucky bourbon
XD
This might be the best comment I've ever seen. hahaha
I tried this and it's fraudulent, you hear big phony! Oh wait.. It just took a minute..
Ghey

Death of an outlaw : Shot in the head,Stab From the back,Or Die Alone Cause Your Sicknees
No no, I'm peeling an onion... not crying at all
Exactly my thoughts. Glad someone else saw the symbolism
That's the best thing I've read about my friend Arthur Morgan!
@@jgilmer Morgans seem to be tough dudes - Arthur and Dexter

That’s beautiful 🥺 the same thing happened to me in my playthrough of RDR. “Far Away” played during a big storm. It gave me chills.

That means you have low honor rain = low honor
@@The_Enclave_Offical You sure? I always played high honour (though I didn't know about the honour system first time) so I'd be surprised if I had low honour by that point.
This is what makes a 10 out of 10 game. It is not perfect but it's the MOMENTS that make it great.
I so agree!
To be honest, as a player that has played almost every thing that's out there... on the scale up to perfection RDR2 is like the top dog for me. Everything in consideration, it's as close as we've come so far in games, IMO.
I'm sorry but if rdr2 is not perfect then what is according to you?
I always love R*. The feel so good. Story, characters, missions, world, euphoria physics, realistic... How ever we cant find a game like R*.
@@abhisarsharma8376 Maybe The Witcher 3
This song hit me hard when i heard it, and i thought something bad will happen...
This ride back to Shady Bell was perfectly staged.
I was convinced he would die in the next cutscene, it’s so manipulative and powerful.
Two of the most emotional moments in the game. This and the last ride to Beaver Hollow. Both times it was just Arthur riding a horse and reflecting, but few things have ever hit harder.
Epic moment in the game. Once I realized it was D’Angelo (when he starts singing out and hitting the falsetto), that made it even more epic as I’m a huge fan of Voodoo (the album) and always respected his pen.
I legit started crying when this song came on during my playthrough. All the feels during this scene.
That's D'Angelo an r&b artist
I want some of your brown sugaaaaa
He's more so Soul music
@@TrevorHowell421 he led the neo-soul movement, where it kind of turned into an r&b fusion genre
During this ride Arthur learned many truths.....he realized it was all coming to a end and he realized Dutch had faults and the people who masked them were gone.
This to me was just more than a game. I love it so much that it will always have a place in my heart. RIP Arthur Morgan.
Same here. Best game I ever played - period
Best protagonist I ever played as 🥺
my one regret in life is i cant play this game without knowing the whole story from scratch again :(
That’s why I watch others play it
;( Arthur riding back not as just a son of Dutch....but as his own man, finally. And Arthur made sure that he was going to do his best to leave a good imprint on this world on his own-terms, before he passed.
But as his own man.
Im shaken and broken by these words. Just reflect how lonely he was in Chapter 6
Honestly no matter who, this game can break any person. I had a friend who was SERIOUSLY a tough guy gangster wannabe, but after playing this game he felt sooooo broken.
The greatest single player experience in video game history. Bravo Rockstar. Bravo 👏
D'angelo is a legend in r&b/Jazz. I've been listening to this song again randomly..I forgot how good it was, I feel like it speaks to me.
That song has been stuck in my head and on loop since then 😭😭 it’s just so good
She really called this country folk. This is some soul/REAL r&b.
cuz this particular song is a country song
@@allanzin5217 no it ain’t…
@@ralphgilster2767 yes it is.
It’s country and soulful 🥰 If you know you know
@@allanzin5217its not
Man what an experience 😔
I didn't expect this when I was playing the game, it was so touching, the game is an absolut masterpiece.
Many people miss this song because they walk to the shady belle. During this mission stealing the horse to get back to Shady Belle doesn’t make you lose honour.
@@diezeeshoodie exactly what i did. I’m so MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT STEALING THAT HORSE, THIS SONG IS EASILY MY NEW favorite
I really liked this game before this point when I was playing it, but it was this ride that made me fall in love with the game.
me watching this and CRYING remembering my first time seeing this clip
Rdr2 has the best story, the way they touch the emotions of the main character, this game had emotion happiness, sadness, loyalty, plot twist betrayal. This is a game that can be played over an over without getting sick of it recommend 10/10
I Don't Know Why But Tears Come Out Of My Eyes Whenever I Watch This Scene
This song will forever stick with me.
this masterpiece will never be equaled let alone beat
D’Angelo’s a genius.
This is so awesome that you posted this. I just experienced this scene for the first time last night and had to come to YT to see if someone had this posted. Gives me goosebumps!
Same here 😍just epic goosebumbs
dude, i had the same reaction, and after played this scene, that song became one of my favs of all times. and always i remember this scene my body shivers. RDR2 is a real masterpiece.
This was my reaction plus tears even when I played the second time

What a perfect way to describe this moment and song. I listen to this song every time when I feel unsure in life or I’m stuck.
This really shows how music can affect a scene, if not for the music this is just a horse ride that has happened hundreds of times already throughout the story
The most epic scene in the history of gaming. Even the game tells you to put it in cinematic camera to enjoy it. Fantastic Game !
I genuinely loved you reaction to this! D'Angleo is my favorite Neo Soul singer he making amazing music, I havent played this game yet but the song has powerful lyrics but playing this game makes the words even more powerful!
I have listened this song in spotify at least a hundred times and it never gets old.
Loved the scene in the game.

When I hear this song I remember difficult days in my life and I remember my mother and my friends who passed 💔💔💔away.
This song gives me chills and will forever be a favorite now
DeAngelo has spooky soul in his songs...
It’s 2023 and it’s still the greatest video game ever made!!
This song shook me... To the core, beautiful song, possibly the best song in context in a video game ever :)
The one scene I wish I could play forever
There is no one like D'angelo..
literally the first time ive ever broke down crying either playing a game OR listening to a song, like i could not stop crying
Man, this is my first playthrough of this masterpiece of a game and Arthur has not died on my game yet. I already miss the guy.
bro this hit so hard on my second play through. As soon as the music kicked in all I could think of was Arthur looking at the sunrise and taking his last breath
Damnit, I swear to you I cried like a kid with cinematic mode and the max volume on my headphones, fucking insane. For any reason this song touch my heart.
Just finished RDR2 two years ago… I miss you Arthur so much
Can’t believe this the same man that made “Nothing even matters” with Lauryn Hill.
i always have an extra save slot for arthur
this is the peak quality of what a virtual character riding a horse and a girl with headphones watching it can be. RDR2 is a flawless masterpiece
It’s such a different feeling taking this ride your first time playing vs your second time playing
This is the only video I can find of a reaction of just this part of the game, so thank you for making this!
We are thieves, in a world that don't want folks like us no more.
Arthur morgan you’ll be missed
This is a great tune. I just played this game and was blown away. Through my oled tv was something else
not how i thought i'd get new D'angelo music, but i'll take it. the hopeless optimist in me wishes we got a whole album of exactly this, but i've been here since brown sugar, i know better ...
I’m on my 3rd play through and I got to this part of the game and said let me go look this up and see othe peoples reaction.. and as I expected I’m not disappointed
man i wanna cry... i wanna play the game again but i dont wanna because of how depressing it is
bro,im so depressing,this song is so good,i played this game 2 times and i have same reaction when i see this part
One of my fave games all time. And that song on that part of the game hit so different

D'Angelo is one of the greatest singers ever
Best scene in the game
The unshaken is legendary I love it and to finally see someone react like is just amazing
The fact that the path takes you past a lot of the previous locations
This is why i desperately wanted to platinum this game.
Yesterday i got my platinum for this masterpiece!
this song hit me out of nowhere. One of the best moments of the game.
I was so upset after this game. I replayed hundreds of times to hope for a different sending.
My god i went to shady bell on foot so i missed this part
I love this song Unshaken, it's a blues singer
That was my favorite part of the game . It knocked me off my feet also. Rockstar Games home run
This game is just art
Just discovered your channel/TikTok account and I’m loving it 😁😁
1:08 more soul imo
First time playing and hearing this song was indescribable. This game is hands down the greatest western epic ever made.
I've been playing the story mode for my first time and had just got to where I have to mission to save John but when this song was playing, I was bopping my head the whole time as a Texan boy
I want this to be played at my funeral
I just want lenny back man. I miss that glorious bastard
The first streamer who listen it properly! :)
Literally my favorite part of the game
I've read and watched, and watched and played, and played and read. No hammer hits as hard as the moment that you realise you've been holding hope when there's not much or any to hold. Arthur survives alone, he rides alone, he's met by alone. And this eeeeefffffing song just casually lights the way.
;_____;
Am I the only one having goosebumps while listening to this song ?
The game is a masterpiece! The song is a real masterpiece!
i remember riding with full speed in this scene with thunders and rain.
excellent experience.
song:D'Angelo - Unshaken
The last ride...
I played this part like five minutes ago and i came to hear it again ❤
Not gonna lie, i cracked when this played out. I had just begun to make the turn to the light with his character. I had to put the game down for a day or so. This song and story struck some interesting chords with me. I look forward to the heartbreak when I reach the end of his story.
I felt the same when I first got to there. Amazing tune.
When i first played this myself my reaction was oh dear something is going to happen
This scene I think stuck out to me more than even the ending. IDK - it was like I wasn't playing a video game anymore.
I tear up every time...
Me too. Would be awesome to come again from school and play this to 4 in the morning because I was soooo hockend
I was today years old, when i found out that D'angelo is the singer🤯
I wished I haven’t seen any rdr2 video, so I’d play the game w/o knowing any of the plot, I’ve unfortunately played through the whole game knowing all of the major deaths, I never seen this scene on yt, so to play it gave me huge chills and I’d give anything to play this for the first time again
Yo I had to stop the game and google about this song. This part of the game I said to myself,OK this game is a classic!
best game ever made.
I haven't smoked for 6 years but when I was playing this scene I wanted to light one. Just one tear...
