- Red Dead Redemption 2 Is An Absolute Nightmare - This Is Why
This week I jump into bed with Rockstar and review Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4 Pro, and I gotta say, it’s an absolute nightmare.
Really though I think from watching this you can tell I like Red Dead Redemption 2, I am just focusing on the negative aspects to question the many reviews saying Red Dead Redemption 2 is a perfect game. It just seems worse than it is in this video because of my ranty “this is why it’s an absolute nightmare” style.
The animator animating Red Dead Redemption 2’s horse poop (at “Rockstar”) was CircleToonsHD, you can see his amazing stuff here:

The next absolute nightmare video will be a VR game, but I thought I would try my hand at another 2D game, and what is better to complain about than Red Dead Redemption 2, possibly the most successful and critically acclaimed game of all time!! I’m sure no one will have any issues with my constant complaining.
I am sad I couldn’t show off Arthurs sweet moustache I have grown him, but since we are on the PS4 Pro there is no easy way to take a decent selfie. I pray for a PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2, I’d probably get it again and do a whole Red Dead Redemption 2 Is An Absolute Nightmare - This Is Why video again WITH MODS.

The only nightmare in RDR2 is when Dutch comes with a new "plan"
All we need to do first is get some MONEH with one more score, and then go to Tahiti.
Peter Alexander Rheaume-Garcia but what about lumbago
Frosty Cane forget the lumbago where’s Gavin?
We just need more money
Kurisutian Abraham That’s what I was thinking when I read the title!🤣
The only nightmare is when you meet up with micah. Bro told me to “vist and have coffee” we robbed a stage coach and killed 32 people 💀
Not bro, Micah doesn't deserve it, that piece of shit.
Your right bro! Bitch kills jacks dog then me 💀
The real nightmare is dying to a cougar on your way to trade in your haul of pelts
@@anthonyduffy6953 that is so true! I was just playing and a bear attacked me onto a crocodile and as I was dealing with them, lemoyne raiders spawn out of thin air!
@@nightmare_slayer8851 always have a rare rolling block rilfe ready especially with express bullets, one headshot and bear is dead
I love this video but I feel like when you talk about the jailbreak mission you miss the huge point of the mission. For example, Arthur openly talks about how he hated he had to do that. It is supposed to make you hate Micah more than you probably will.
He's purposefully doing that so he can make you forget about that part and make you think he was okay with it
I agree with your comment, but I don’t think anything can make me hate Micah more than I already do
No, that's just a cheap, poorly written trope seen countless times in media; make the hero character do horrific, inexcusable acts but show them briefly, making comments and forgetting about it minutes later. Contrast with good writing, when the hero is forever affected and influenced by his guilt. Stop fanboying and coming up with ridiculous excuses just because you like something.
@@RVered I dint liking something, being a fan, also have you played the game.
exactly
Speaking of smoking to fill the dead eye, I thought taking time to smoke a cigar in the middle of a robbery or any crime was the most bad ass thing ever.
or when you kill like 3 guys in a single dead eye and then just walk away smoking cigar
Its like Capt. Price after killing Makarov
Its kind of like Spy from Team Fortress 2
Green Before its kinda like every badass ever...
Its the wild west ffs
First person ever to complain that the skinning animation is too quick
This video is fucking pathetic in every single complaint besides maybe 1 or 2 points. Its just pandering to the haters 😂
shane nolan do you want to save time or not? These are the same kinds of people who complain that riding takes too long. Make up your mind.
Brayden Wormer r/woooosh
the animation is too fast..
.slow it down .03 secs lmao
My friend was over my house n he complained about the skin time too... I turned around and just gave him a look 😑
One of the moments that blew me away most in RDR2 was going into a theatre and watching a show. Seeing a gaslit stage play/animation through incredibly advanced graphics seems like it should be a pointless activity but for me it was something close to time travel. Somehow a different beast to playing Pacman as a minigame or dragging an accurately dressed cowboy through beautifully rendered mud, perfect though those experiences may be.
Same with npcs eating a whole meal bite by bite animated. Literally any random npc that eats somewhere.
I agree I though the shows were one of the coolest things my wife who is so anti games even she thought that was really awesome and that on the history of our whole relationship has she ever said that about any other games
You forgot to talk about the detail of the horse's ballsack shrinking in the cold

I just wanna say that the fact that Arthur likes writing and drawing (he really likes drawing, stated in his journal) let us know that reaaaaaaaaaally deep down inside, if you looke extremely far past the big, stoic, brave and fearless man that Arthur is, he's a soft and emotional person.
Arthur is anything but soft and emotional. He's whatever he needs to be at the moment, doesnt neglect developing parts of his personality
2:20 A-FREAKIN'-MEN, brother! I cannot begin to tell you the amount of times I've wanted to do some cool cosplay, get a cool jacket or coat, or do airsoft, only for me to step outside and realize "Crap. I'm in Florida. I'm either gonna die of heat stroke or being melted into a liquid if I don't take this off and put on shorts." I'm sorry but I just relate to that too dang well.

@@kittenwithmittens6200 It's a jail in a small town that Micah was locked up in
My problem with rockstar (and ubisoft) game design is the line that divides ‘roaming the world’ and ‘now you are on a mission’.
The progression in Red Dead 2 happens as a linear game, in a dimension completely detached from the sandbox world.
Exploring a place that has no mission icon is a waste of time, so the world seems frozen, held back by a checklist.
Random encounters are inconsequent and nothing you find organically impacts the story in a meaningful way.
You can buy a map to find a buried treasure, but if you go dig the same spot before buying the map you wont find anything.
I don’t think I’ll enjoy a GTA 6 without a profound change in the formula.
Yes thank you someone's thinking right here. Totally agreed, why does rockstar keep making open world games if it's to make such inorganic and empty world as such ? We're not in 2013 anymore guys.
That's why I quit playing AAA, they have their stupid checklist in which open world is a necessary point while never thinking about it.
Zelda Botw (totally a AAA though but nonetheless) and Outer Wilds kick Rockstar and Ubisoft's ass in terms of player's implication in their open world.
Rockstar, make a goddamn movie (same as you Hideo Kojima) and stop working 100h/week to achieve such a lame result with so much fancy details.
Whoa whoa, The slide projector shows are hilarious, creative and genuinely fun. It shows the depth of the game. Even displays a NPO ( non player object ) from the catalog. That is extremely clever and cool. Just that is has unique stuff like this makes me like it that much more. I really wish I could frame the cigarette cards and display them in my gaming room. Is anyone who contributed creatively to making this game read this, thank you.
Yea yea but they could've put these resources into fun mechanics the game will use throughout the game and not into useless side content most will not see
@@caralho5237 It's the point of RDR2. You have to explore. Most details that make the game so alive are little things, dialogues, secondary stuff that you'd easily miss if you did just one playthrough or if you didn't give it time. If you like to rush a game and focus on a few major mechanics, it's just not for you, and it's fine that way. RDR2 is deeper. For me, it has to be taken as a span of time, something precious, unique, that you are given the opportunity to live. This game feels special because of this. It's not just a game, it's a little world of its own, and if you don't take your time, you will not find most of what makes it actually interesting.
@@caralho5237 if you don't care about side content it's fine but you should be aware that it's like not playing half of a game, this doesn't apply to RDT2 solely but to pretty much any game.
People put too little care in side content with the excuse of "no one cares about that" but side contents:
1. impact the game loop much more than the unqualified average joe can realize
2. are still an integral part of the game and are meant to be enjoyed along with the main game loop
3. games would be much more empty without then, regardless of wether you care about them or not. Imagine walking in Valentine and not being able to enter the cinema, go to the barber, or to the general store. Sure, you might not care about that, but cities would be much emptier this way regardless
Also the Bear movie was actually very obviously a metaphor about the gang. Watch it again while thinking about this and it will all be come clear
Funny enough, the average horse passes manure upwards of a dozen or more times a day, so given the in-game clock that's actually a pretty accurate timetable lol
Hyper-sympathetic Telepathic Machine i bet this dude haven’t got any outdoor hobbies.

Smoking to refill deadeye really makes me feel like Clint Eastwood.
That was probably what Rockstar had in mind, actually. XD
Drink gin it restores the stamina to
Yoshikage Kira are you gonna use deadeye to throw throw throwing knives at women’s hands?
didn't you die like 20 years ago?
Did you know Clint Eastwood never inhaled the smoke?
I found this game so painful to play. A beautiful disappointment, really.
It’s like a really nicely wrapped gift, that doesn’t fit. The box and bow on it are world class. But the item doesn’t fit, and there’s no making it again..
Gorgeous visually and technically astonishing but as actual video game it's tortue to play. Much more time riding horses than shooting a gun.
I just started a new playthrough where I’m attempting 100% and I’m trying to do it all with no HUD. I totally agree with your mini map and prompts comments. They really do detract from what I think the game really wanted you to do, explore it.
Imo I think Arthur Morgan is Rockstar's best character achievement. His moral compass is shaken and turned upside down several times, and while he claims to be just a dumb killer, he's quietly a talented artist and writer, and a thoughtful and worried man. He was raised on ideals that he saw his mentors turn away from, and it's in your hands whether he continues to follow their example or to make something better of himself. His past is the most intricate Rockstar has EVER devised for a character and so while you can try to call it narrative dissonance, even Arthur has a reason for when you're a bloodthirsty psychopath. He'll talk about it, saying he's angry all the time and he doesn't exactly know why, but how he thinks it's about the mess they're in. Arthur knows when he's killing without reason, and it just becomes a part of who he is if you choose to go that route.
That said, smoking through like 3 packs worth of cigarettes in a day to refill deadeye over and over is ridiculous.
Yeah exactly. That part where you kill an entire town was massively taken out of context here too. I mean Arthur is fucking furious afterwards and hates Micah even more for the rest of The game for making him do it.
With the novel you just wrote I have come to the conclusion that you are indeed like me. A virgin.
He’s not being 100% serious with the things he’s saying here. It’s hyperbole. For comedy. People are apparently very wound up about this game?
Vibrolux because it’s a pretty good game
Finally someone realizes how well Arthur draws!
The skinning the rabbit animation is the most realistic animation in the game... Thats legit how you skin rabbits🤷♂️
No fucking way, really??, I don't have the guts to look it up, the game version already bugs me a lot
@@kendarr yeah I was confused as to why he was complaining about the rabbit animation because its realistic.
@@disappointmentdepartment2699 Jeez, i'm going to trust you guys, thats awful xD
@@kendarr it is I've done before and vomitted dont skin rabbits like it
@@kendarr yea that's how rabbits get skinned. It's quite grotesque but still quite cool
this game actually got me to a point in the story where I wanted to not kill enemys in a main mission because in my perception the arthur i decided to play probably wouldnt have. But because the game is tied to its story so much (which is an amazing story ofc, prob one of the best stories ever) i was forced to kill tons of people i didnt even wanted to.
i think arthur didn't wanted to kill the people he killed neither
That's exactly how Arthur feels, multiple times during the story he mentions how the gang is killing people for no reason and doubts if they are going to get out alive.
It’s a game lol
Whoever decided that the opening of the game should be you slowly walking through a foot and a half of snow with no stamina should be set on fire
That made me not touch the game for 2 years. Finally tried again and actually managed to play through it
Are you joking? Chapter one is severely underrated, the atmosphere and post-Blackwater vibe are incredibly overhated.
what i love about this game is arthurs design. its so iconic you can immediately recognize it, but its generic enough for you to become almost anyone in character customization.

Correction: Red Dead Online servers are a nightmare
Avengethegame27 Correction: Red Dead Online is a nightmare (hope the summer update is a step in the right direction but the length of time it has gone without meaningful updates is staggering, especially on the PvE side)
@Ronin Martinez I think Gta 5 and ever Red Dead 1 servers work better
Hell, I remember the launch of GTA Online was completely unplayable.
ffs, its worst now, you're not safe untill you put yourself on defensive mode...
Yea you always have that posse of 10 and nobody wants to mess with them because well there’s 10 of them
I think we just have to accept that open world games are about the world it creates through its environment, characters and storytelling (i.e., its own microcosm), and this means it sacrifices more creative gameplay.
Maybe there will be a game that comes out and beats that someday but I’m more than happy to do multiple play throughs of this game for now.
3:50 How is this a flaw of the game??? That's the point of the mission. It's trying to make you feel like you're doing something horrible in order to set up how psychotic Micah is. THE MAIN ANTAGONIST OF THE GAME. Also you said there is no point in pressing the button to see the tracks perfectly when you can already see them, so why don't you just not press the button and do it your way of making the game more boring scowering the ground for tiny details of tracks. This would make it a nightmare for lower end PC's who cant have as great of situations and resolutions on textures and graphics. And do I even need to explain how the amount of detail in this game isn't a flaw. For Christ's sake don't even think of dissing on this masterpiece.
@silverfoxeater I’m expressing my opinion about the game. I think what he said was unjustified.
The big problem with mass detail is people are going to criticize you if you don’t have it and they’ll criticize you if you do.
Damned if you do, dammed if you don’t
I just want to know who would take a star off their review if the game didn’t have dynamic horse testicle shrinkage

@@kitkatstrats9516 How?
@@kitkatstrats9516 How?
K L how?
K L How?
I don’t get why people still don’t get why many game reviewers have problems with Rockstar game design. I completely understand your point of view, that the immersive experience of riding on your horse for miles, looking at the spanning beautiful landscape, doing mundane things like brushing, feeding horse, gather materials, hunting, fishing, crafting gives that immersion factor of being a cowboy like no others. That’s enjoying the game your own way, role playing. That’s all fine and good, I’m glad rockstar understood their product.
However, as a game, a mix between a toy and art, their game design, or the toy mechanic part, is lacking. Open world games missions ideally should be more Deus Ex or at least Metal Gear 5. Simple objective with choices for the player to attempt. Rockstar shifted more heavily towards this as time goes by. It is understandable that making missions like that is complex and time consuming, but the argument is that, so is adding shitting horse or hours of voice acting and script writing. As it is, missions in Rockstar games are “cinematic experience” rather than a game. It’s a level where I feel it’s similar to walking simulator games. I’ll give a simple demonstration of what they could have done. Let’s say, the mission is to rescue a gang member from prison, you can provide the player with a few options. 1. ask a NPC that you helped in the past to swindle the law enforcers into releasing him. 2. Create a distraction using explosives or asking a gang member to fire their gun nearby, luring the sheriffs out so you can sneak in and blow the door open with explosive. 3. Go in gun blazing after preparing for an assault on the location. That’s the kind of options that the players should have. They don’t need to make too many assets for them as well if they focus on making the AI intuitive, so players can plan around them, making them feel that they tricked the AI, even if you design them so. That’s not even mentioning the weak upgrade system that provides very minor bonus, and the excess amount of money from doing missions which renders the financial woe of the gang more role playing than plot. The preparation for a mission should rely on cash more, making you having to load out your gang with munition, protective equipment, clothings, medicines, weapons and other expenses, so you would feel the pressure of earning making money, which will make every activity in the game part of the gameplay loop rather than as a “thing you can do”.
Games aren't games anymore. They are incredibly long movies.
That’s not a problem if it’s a good movie.
My horse caught on fire during a cut scene at a dudes camp. Once my horse was ablaze, it set that guy on fire. Was an interesting cut scene. Lol
i wish you recorded this
this game has some of the most realistic fire effects iv ever seen though, light something on fire and it will literaly come alive and spread to all flammable objects like irl, seriously go and throw a fire bottle or shoot a fire arrow at a wagon or log cabin and watch the majestic flames, or drop dead bodies on campfires and watch em sizzle until all there flesh literally burns off
@@FrannieFibgert I did but never uploaded it to anything.
@@blakearmentrout7717 they are pretty amazing indeed.
Jeff Lane please do
The theater in Red Dead 2 is a "Magic Lantern" show and is historically accurate, as are the guns for the most part.
@Radisson Gates Bit harsh but okay.
@Radisson Gates Are you a simpleton?
They don’t really get the guns right. There’s a lot of mistakes with them.
@@davidschneider9145 They changed the names of basically all of them, and had to make a few more distinct because the guns they're based on like Winchester and Henry repeaters are still being actively manufactured and their appearances are copyrighted. The Evan's repeater magazine was changed because the real version was a pain in the ass to reload, and the cap & ball pistols usually had swappable cylinders. I missed a few I'm sure.
@Steel
There are a couple of other mistakes. The Schofield should be the weakest of the revolvers because it had the weakest cartridge. They messed up some of the magazine capacities. For example, the Lancaster has 14 shots. I think it’s based on the 1866 Winchester, which holds 13 rounds plus one in the chamber. However, Arthur cycles the action before firing the first shot, which would indicate a magazine capacity of 14 rounds. But all of the mistakes are just minor details and don’t really make it less realistic.
It's also crazy how the compression in youtube does not do this game any justice. It looks 10 times as incredible when youre playing it for yourself. Especially on PC.
Just started playing this game(I know I'm late) and even with all the strange design choices and occasionally lackluster gameplay, it is amazingly beautiful and immersive. i get lost playing it, and have no sense of the actual world around me(which is fine in small doses). i'm genuinely enthralled by it, and love it to bits.
I can also recommend you to try playing the story mode in the first version of the game if you have it on disc. Some things were better working in 1.0
And don't forget to ENJOY every bit of it!
i played the first mission once and stopped for months but when i finally git through the snow area i completed the main story in less than 2 weeks. it gets really good. i think most people dont give it time
I just finished the game and I thought it was boring, way to slow for an already paced out game, and I overall couldn’t get into it
@@knight_561 I feel this. I've been going on a spree of rdr2. Now for me as a history enthusiast I love the game world. But the community seems to worship and adore Arthur. Which for me just felt like a passable character. Not bad, just incredibly mid and I was underwhelmed at the end. Based on what folks said I thought it would be a lot more hard hitting. In the end I just thought it was okay, but I could easily write something a lot more tear jerking and emotional.
I mean the storyline is incredible, online, extremely disappointing.
@@123VRa what part didn't make sense might be able to explain it
The story was bloody incredible, i havnt even touched the online because i really dont need it compared to the story
Darth Vader its great in the case of being able too create your own character pvp added weapons and clothing and some other stuff but it’s just still missing so much compared too the story. though I think it’s funny no one remembers it took gtao like what 4 or 5 years too add what’s everyone wanted, in too gtao? Which was heists.
@@jameshenchy184 maybe theyll do the same thing and add bank robberies and train heists (in better scenarios or more interesting robberies) 5 years later aswell :)
@@jameshenchy184 calm down it's not like they forgot about red dead online and I agree with Darth Vader about them adding the option to be able to do heists or rob stores and trains
Well you know some people DO actually play Arthur as the humble man seen in the cutscenes...it makes the game more enjoyable, I feel awkward going around running into trains and killing innocents
Humble? Do you know what that word means? Cause arthur ain’t humble.
@@lobsterwithhisshouldersbac8368 you get the point.
@@lobsterwithhisshouldersbac8368 yes he is; literally says he doesn't want to be famous for gunslinging amongst other things.
I'm not sure you know what humble means.
Yeah, I only do that for the challenges and achievements. Theres a dialogue where you sit down with one of the ladies at camp (I think it was Karen?) And talk about your feelings, and as soon as Arthur said he was upset about killing animals for no reason and leaving their corpses willy nilly, I immediately felt bad about running over squirrels and accidentally hunting animals while my horse was already loaded up. I try to play Arthur as a well mannered man who helps others and respects the land, but I gotta go rob a bunch of innocent people real quick so I can wear a gun belt, or kill a bunch of civilians cuz Micah's a douchebag
@@lobsterwithhisshouldersbac8368 iworld he has manner he regrets killing folks in every single cutscene ..he helps people randomly ..its the players that ruin it and this video is absolute garbage.
Rewatching this with 7.1 surround sound and the door-locking sound at 08:20 was accurately positioned behind me at my front door and every ounce of adrenaline my body could have possibly created was dumped all at once directly into my nervous system at maximum power
Yes, the details make it more fun.
No, the reason he shot up stawberry was because he was helping a gang member who by the way he didnt want to so he wouldn't kill the people as the gang member in question is a phycopath. Not because he felt like butchering a town.
No, theres a high honour and low honour story line depending if you massacre people.
People like the enemys being on minimap no matter where they are so you dont get into a situation where you can't find the last enemy.
People like details and animations. Why complain about this?! Why?!?! Can't think of a single good reason.

Agreed on the aiming system and movement mechanics...how many times have we run into someone else's horse when turning to shoot someone (makes it more interesting for sure) or bumped into an NPC's horse when galloping to the destination. And yes, there should have been am option to let Micah rot in the cell. Of course, if it hadn't been for Micah and Sean and their truly reckless psychopathic behavior, the Van der Linde Gang wouldn't be the melting pot of diversity we've come to know and love.

@@CatastrophicTV Who knows? One of those gaming questions that may never be answered..
I just think the realism actually makes up for the gameplay mechanics. The realism and simpler mechanics make the game more approachable and extremely immersive even for the more inexperienced gamers.
That guy getting angry at Arthur, getting up to point the gun at him, to step into the fire, was one of the funniest I've seen in this game
Me: rides my horse in any town
NPC: runs in front of me
Me: loses honor for trampling
GODDAMN IT
I swear the lifeless zombies are horse magnets / on a suicide mission to claim life insurance
Getting in a head on collision on accident with another horse rider and then being branded a murderer because they can't take a fall is real bull. Also every npc is SO standoffish and suspicious of others. If you walk too close to someone, or if you happen to be riding too close to a carriage, they're likely to draw their gun EVEN WHEN I'M JUST TRYING TO GET FROM A TO B IN CINEMATIC MODE.
Me: *rides past npc, minding my own business*
Npc: "HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"
Me: Bitch I was nowhere near bumping into your fat ass.
BraapSpitBlack everytime some bullshit like that happens, I think to myself “killing this individual wouldn’t be that bad” and so I kill them. Then I end up killing the entire town and get a massive bounty. I usually pay the bounty off and just go back to the same town and say “hi” to everyone and my honor is good as new
We lose honor, get a bounty and get every lawman in the state after us increasing our bounty further because some fuckhole doesn’t know how to walk.
The first time I played this through I went to save that guy hanging on the cliff and accidentally hit R2 and shot him in the face.
Bring me Peter pan haha, I didn't even realize where he was holding on to until it was too late... XD
Happened to me the first time I went into an inn. Wanted to take a bath, accidentally hit the wrong trigger and shot the jolly old dude right in the face.
I jumped off the cliff because the prompt to save him disappeared right when i pressed it and Arthur just jumped off like nobody's business
I went to save him but I have a sticky analog stick so I just walked past him and fell off the cliff edge 😂
I WHEEZED-
I showed my churchy dad this game and he was having a really great time, until I noticed visible discomfort and realised I was busting Micah out of prison. Ooops. Yeah, there's murder in this game too, dad, not just hunting with Hosea and fishing with Kieran
I tried to do the pig farmer thingy but while i was mid cutscene 9 bounty hunters broke in and killed me.
My Grandpa says horses poop a lot. Considering the hours in games are faster then reality it may be logical

Skinning rabbits and small animals like that is actually very realistic, u just peel up a bit and give a good rip and it comes off pretty clean.
Arthur just hulks it though on the rabbit he never uses a knife just grabs the tail and rips the skin right off, I wonder how hard that really is to do

Great content. I'm pleased that I stumbled on this video. Carry on!
The point of the journal (other than being a handy way to keep track of what you have done so far) is to show that at one point, Dutch actually did care enough to teach Arthur something useful.

Thank god someone has a brain. He praises FNV (my favorite game behind this one) for its RPG elements, then criticizes this game for not having said elements, despite RDR not being an RPG series. It’s honestly so annoying.

It's called narrative dissonance, and most games have that problem, but at least bad things happen, and you get bad karma if you're bad on Red Dead.
1. They make the skinning fast because people like you would complain how long it would be how to skin a rabbit
2. Please, dont make your opinions make us look bad/the game look bad.
3. It literally has better graphics and more realistic stuff. Sure I dont agree at the horse balls being smaller when cold.
4. If you say that there should be a faster option of travel, then all of the horses would be useless too! Imagine using a car when getting a bounty.
Did Arthur go to the mortal kombat school of animal skinning?

Yes
Physics: realistic
Visuals: perfect
Gameplay: casual Rockstar stuff
Story: better than Hollywood
Edit: yall can stop calling each other children
What? The story is shit. Everything was shoved in at late chapter 4, Guarna was pointless, chapters 2 & 3 are literally 15 hours of filler. The first half of chapter 5 was pointless, and most of chapter 6 was just getting revenge on a bunch of people. The epilogue and chapter 1 are the only parts with a good story
@@hooliganfanatic7241 I mean if he's using Hollywood as a rating scale, you know that the bar is set really low
@@PoptartParasol Hollywood has made some amazing movies. Joker 2019, Citizen Kane, Jaws, etc
@@hooliganfanatic7241 the fact you said the epilogue was the only good story is already showing that you aren’t good at parties
Lol, this was one of the most boiler plate most generic western's I've ever seen its just longer thats it. It doesn't do anything that Westerns haven't been doing since like the late 60's and 70s when they got gritty. One episode of Deadwood is better than the entire length of this game.
But really, games should stop trying to ape movies, and fit movie narrative structure into a medium that is interactive its just backwards thinking. If I wanted to watch a movie I'd go watch a movie, I like games because of the things they do that movies can't, and when you force narrative on an open world game you inevitable are going to run at odds with player choice.
This is the only channel on TH-cam I have to slow down the videos to understand anything. You're the editing equivalent of someone who broke their space bar.
Rabbits and squirrels are peelable. Pretty acurate, but I would do it a bit more carefully, so I dont ruin the pelt and scrush the bones.
I like the shows in RDR2. It immerses you in the world by having you do every day common things that the people of that world would actually do. No one complained about the various TV channels in GTA V. I've watched nearly every show in GTA V. I love taking time away from the action, and spending a bit of time role playing or just getting lost in the realism of the world
Yes I agree that some people enjoy it in the way you do however many players don’t choose to do something they may see as a waste of time and money. Players do what they want. And yes red dead lends itself to being a Wild West life sim, many players don’t play it that way.

@@-gray-6966 The beauty of a Rockstar game is that you're free to not do those things if you don't want to, and if you do want to, you can spend as much time doing is as you please. That's what makes it so great.

@@FormerViktorK24 its called Horses to Water
This guy can't decide if he wants the game to be realistic or not
Who’s thia?
I honestly don't know the point of this video. Is it pure comedy? Are the nitpicks supposed to be satire? It really doesn't make sense as a serious critique, but at the same time it also seems to take itself seriously.
Just really confused what the takeaway was supposed to be.
I think rockstar is the one who has that problem.
TheEddagosp his criticisms are valid. The entire game is just a follow the yellow dot on the map adventure, there’s no character choice (yes the 2 endings but bareeeely).
@@ethanking640 But like, they're not though. Every single criticism can be easily put down.
The game is significantly more than just the main story missions. The game is not linear, it's a meandering journey of distractions and side-quests and exploration of wild curiosities. As well for character choice, a wide variety of interactions can end however you want them to, even if they don't affect the overarching story. You can't change the end, but how you get there is a hell of a wild ride that's totally dependent on *you*.
If all you're doing is following the yellow dot on the map, that's kind of on you.
One big rage inducing nope I found was the quickdraw moment in the storyline where you had disarm the kid who joined the cult and was about to shoot himself..un-Skippable as well.
Stupid Jamie. I actually skip the whole mary story now. Nothing to do with the story being bad I just find it gets in the way
If you find serious topics triggering.. Then don't play games that have serious topics in them.. lol..
I feel like that's kind of an easy thing to grasp
@@volkova6209 nothing to do with the 'topic' I'm talking about gameplay either me or the controller, but I couldn't get the hang of the event. Please consider this before talking down to people.
I honestly believe there should have been non-lethal and stealth approach implemented into the game. Would result in interesting gameplay situations and exciting escapes from the enemy view.
You know, you CAN just use the in game clues to track animals without Eagle Eye. That mechanic is just to give people who aren't interested in hunting a quick/easy way to hunt.
what in game clues?
@@zizouurb6332 You can see their tracks on the ground and use binoculars to watch them. If you wound an animal, they leave a blood trail.
He can also turn off the minimap...
I really don't understand the purpose of this video, it just feels like a random clickbait rant
@@TheChodex Most of the time, the game isnt really built around to be played without the minimap though.
From what i saw that works in missions where hunting is part of the game, but random animals won't leave a trail you can follow without eagle eye.

Never trust a guy who wears pinkie/ring-finger gloves.
I wouldn't say that every piece of realism adds to the fun directly. I was totally happy with the Witcher 3 way of looting. But it definetly helps so the game feels way more real than other games. And this makes me feel about Arthur like a dear friend more than a video game character.
I’m the guy that just shoots everyone that rides by me on a horse.

Fun fact about skinning a rabbit, literally that easy.
No, He's right, once you've made a pretty small incision the entire rabbit skin can be pulled off like a glove. Google it!

Yep. Rabbit, Grouse, Duck, all pretty much the same.
I'm so surprised this isn't discussed more.
@@Jesse__H What did the guy that deleted his comment say?
"Das Fell über die Ohren ziehen" is literally a german saying and means "I pull your pelt over your ears" like "I mess you up"
I've been playing 5 hours and the only thing i really feel weird about the game is the controls, i can't tell exactly why i don't like them but im 100% sure i don't like them at all, like if they are bad designed or something.
Now i've played 30 hours and i dont feel that anymore, its just the learning curve i guess

On time during the cutscene at the start of the epilogue a glitch happened to me during a pan shot of the landscape and you can see a river and in the river was a fish that was glitchy as hell and just spasing in and out of existence
During my now 60 hours of gameplay of rdr2 I've just gotten to chapter 4, the majority of gameplay is me exploring the world and hunting animals. playing it like, y'know an open world game.

Does anyone know if he actually ever finds him in the end
Pretty sure not since after the Epilogue(8 years later) you can still find him and he says that he doesn't even remember what Gavin looks like and that he wasted his life looking for him
He works at rooster teeth.
Jordan Ansley nope at the end of the game you can see him still looking for Gavin but he turned crazy because of it

If they made the RDR series into a book series or something, I'd be amazed.
They did wouldn’t it wouldn’t be necessary since we have the game. Not even a movie would be needed at this point. We just wait till the ps8 and get a remaster

I feel like there's some misunderstanding about the narrative of the game. It's not a case of 'Arthur Morgan is a good man in a bad situation', creating some kind of disconnect whenever the player goes on a rampage. The game, the narrative, and Arthur himself repeatedly point out that he's a bad man. They are outlaws. As in, outside the law. As in, criminals.
They're all about killing and robbing to get by. And should the player go on random rampages there are even optional conversations in camp where Arthur will wonder just what the hell is wrong with himself. It's not a story of a good man in a bad situation, it's the story of a bad man who tries to do good with the time he has left in the end.
Man this guy doesn't even pay attention to the game. Like many Fanboys around addicted to battle royals.
And honestly the game isn't even about Arthur. I feel like we're watching John become who he is, through the eyes of someone who impacted him the most.
@Evan Zarr Incorrect. There's many dialogue changes depending on honor.
For example the old hag in guarma.
High honor: He asks Dutch why he killed her.
Low honor: He asks here if Dutch is okay.
There's many dialogue changes with Arthur and the gang if you have low honor. Arthur admits he's as bad as Micah if you have low honor.
@Evan Zarr I think you misread my comment or only watched or played on a high honor playthrough. He asks Dutch if he is okay. Also, Arthur wanted to kill Bronte. He sided with him. Also, many things change in chapter 6 depending on honor. Like kicking out Leopold Strauss. If he has low honor, he kicks him out for wasting their time. If not, he kicks him out for going after a person who has no way of paying off the debt without dying.
@Evan Zarr Why would they spend time on more dialogue if that was the case? He doesn't act anything. He was just mad Dutch killed Bronte out of revenge when he said he wouldn't. Also, they're not going to make cutscenes for each honor level. They expect you to be from -3 to positive 3. You're just being pedantic now. If you played it, you missed out on a ton of things.

There are 2 types of gamers. The type that sprints everywhere, blows through text dialog, occasionally skips cut scenes and treats NPCs like the meaningless bots they are. The gamer that treats the game-world as their virtual play place essentially.
Then there is the type that take a more calm approach. they walk through towns and buildings, watch ALL cut-scenes, and treat the game-world and it's NPC's like it's a real thriving world with real people. If you are the latter type of gamer, RDR2 is a godsend. If you are the former type of gamer, RDR2 is a bit of a drag. I think that's really all there needs to be said.
Im a mix of both. I always watch all cutscenes but as soon as the story ends, i kill everyone i see.
Nick T how is it being visual a problem. And secondly it’s not a narrative it’s kinda true, if you see how much was put into the game that wasn’t needed to make it actually feel like 1899 southern America you can tell that it feels like a real world and a lot of what makes the real world the real world is the subtle things about it. So in short the first guy was right if you like to be immersed in a games world, then it’s a fucking godsend with all of the unnecessary detail put into it, and if you do not like that sort of thing you just will see it for what it is, unnecessary, granted unnecessary things aren’t bad
The latter is the main reason I love the Metro games, as well as STALKER, Dark Souls, etc. They're just so immersive.
...but sadly, I'm so far off the first type of gamer that I'm absolute shit at multiplayer PVP games.
Nick T well the player being a hand crank to keep the main characters story going could be said of many,many,many video games
Also just to say I do not agree with some of the minor flaws in the video. The hand to hand system being and afterthought makes sense considering 90% of the time your main damage dealer is going to be guns so I can forgive it for being simple. As for the whole not being able to reload the rifle out of cover, while not a major flaw is most certainly a flaw. As for the hunting system being stupid easy, well, how about you look directly at every song track of the animals of this video game, you can’t, because that would take way too fucking long, the hunting cannot work very effectively because the only way to actually look at all the tracks with even a modicum of efficiency would require you to actually be there, so in conclusion the medium simply doesn’t allow for better more realistic hunting, even Witcher 3 couldn’t devise a system that could do that
man i cant believe that through all my playthroughs i didnt interact with these issues, probs because i never really relied on dead eye for some reason.
I also have the problem of too much to do you know. I don’t really want to HAVE to clean my horse. I may want to BE ABLE to do it. But please I don’t want a whole ass mission about it or a gameplay mechanic that affects the combat. If I wanted shores i would be living my everyday life, not playing.
