I'm not a gamer, I'm a dad of a gamer, got sucked into playing this and found myself putting it on when everyone was in bed, when Arthur died i kept replaying both scenarios thinking " It's me, they wouldn't let a basically good character like Arthur die ? took me about a week ( shows you what i know about games ) to realise he actually dies ! it wasn't my awful fighting skills.... later in the "Epilogue" John rides off to get the loan for the ranch his wife has dreamt about and this tune comes on, i really started to understand why my son raved about this game and said " it's the story dad, its the character's, it's just like when you watch a film" .... now i know what he meant.... Brilliant stuff Rockstar.
If you like compelling stories & in-depth character development such as in Red Dead Redemption 2, then I would highly recommend that you play The Last of Us. It has all of the same elements.
Arthur is fishing with Hosea on a boat in a crystal clear ocean. Lenny is drinking and rocking the boat slightly, and they all share laughs and fish as the sun rises and sets. That’s my heaven fornArthur
I bet everyone had Lumbago in that time. Constantly riding horses, working hard being on the run poor health. Lumbago is pretty much just a term for lower back or leg pains lol everyone has had it at one point in time haha.
I kept that black horse that you take with Hosea to Valentine. RIP Blacky, he was such a good horse survived shootouts. I did everything to protect him. And in the ending of the game I was heart broken when he died. Edit: When I played as John, the Blackwater stables had a Turkoman bred with a dark bay coat. I bought him for 950 and I fell in love with that boy and I had him for a year. His name is Baylock and we are like best brothers. We ran, bled, fished, robbed, and I still have him by my side. He is my world.
The second i was away from the snowy area, I instantly went and shot up a bunch of people, and my first horse died as I didnt have a reviver, then i did the mission with (i thiiinnkk) hosea? where you go and buy a horse, I named him starchild, and he lasted me the rest of the game, that death was one of the few video game deaths ive actually felt sad about, i still feel bad about really.
I accidentally jumped off a bridge and fell into a river. My good ol horse survived. I had him til the very end. Then I found another horse that looked the exact same as my other one! It was great
For me it was Tailight, a red majestic freind that I purchased out of Valentine early on. The things he survived through, almost lost him in a fire near the oil fields but somehow he survived that too. When the end finally came for Tailight I sat with the biggest lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.
my mom was a very big fan of Willie. we saw him in austin back in 2016 before she got diagnosed with cancer. she passed away november 2017 (I was 15 at the time, now 16). I cried when I played through this part in rdr2. perfect placement, perfect song. loved it.
Live your life to its fullest like your Mother would have wanted, because you only get one, and trust me, the years pass quickly, but which you don't notice when you're young, all the more reason to squeeze every minute whilst looking back to your past for inspiration.
He had everyone safe that was left, he went back for Dutch to tell him about Micah when he could've just walked away. He still kept faith in Dutch to the very end.
KidLouu I mean...Arthur deserved better than Mary, Abigail would never treat John like she did with Arthur (by that I mean she wouldn’t abuse him and “play “ with his feelings
Hopefully in the past where you play as Dutch and get to see the formation of the van der Linde gang. The story starts in 1878 when you meet Hosea and then it finishes in 1899 at the botched Blackwater ferry job we heard so much about in both games.
Snapper Gapp12 we could maybe also see jack’s future as to if he becomes a lawful man and listens to his father’s advice or becomes a gunslinging bandito dorito. Maybe he’ll start a family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, it’s very interesting to think of how his life may play out.
are there any other willie nelson fans out there that lost their shit when this song came on?? When the old john returns, and this song started playing, what an epic moment. This game is a masterpiece.
Literally was sitting with my fiancee in bed playing (she likes to watch me play games for the story), and for real she was starting to doze off (1 AM) and I was like: HOLY SHIT ITS WILLIE NELSON. Scared her half to death haha.
SPOILERS BELOW After the end of RDR1 I remember thinking "damn I wish we could live in this world as john without the pressure of the Bureau on your back" Finally we are given that chance... but at the cost of something dear
@@Whydontijustusespotify123 no it’s when the old John returns after Abigail leaves him and he grabs his gun, you are going to blackwater or valentine to meet Sadie
This song is dedicated to my Mother who on Friday passed away at the age of 58 after her 6 month battle with Cancer. Thank you Mum for believing in me and I’ll see you in the next life. ❤️
I didn't shave as John at all for the first part of the epilogue so when he got into his outfit I instantly returned to shave and look more like the OG Marston, but that ended the song as soon as the words "Cruel cruel world" were sung. I fucked up.
My first experience with "That's the Way It Is" was interrupted by Arthur veering off path into a river. The music immediately halted... as did all of his flashbacks, memories and thoughts of the people in his life; one of the most emotional, if not THE most emotional moment in the game, and it just got cut off. I knew I was missing something, so I reloaded an auto-save and did the last mission with Sadie a second time. I'm so glad I did.
Lots of games I play stick with me. But this game, and everything about it, will stick with me till the end. This game, for some reason, had just had a huge impact on me, more than most games. Truly, a masterpiece, and proof that video games really can be art.
LHCabela, Agreed. No one can make a game like rockstar. Not only is it packed with content no paying for dlc’s or expansions, beautiful graphics and amazing emotion packed stories.
Red Dead Redemption 2 : Cruel Cruel World by Willie Nelson Grand Theft Auto V: Whiskey River by Willie Nelson Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Crazy by Willie Nelson
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Gavin? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on Has anyone seen my friend? I've been living too fast Gavin!!!! And I've been living too long ...he's my best friend. He left me... I lost him... Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone He's a charming sort of chap! Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on ... Gavin?
I ran into Nigel in 1907 as John. He looked very bad and disheveled. I hogtied him and looted him. The letter from Tom to Nigel helps explain what probably happened to Gavin. Poor Nigel, the chap's gone daft.
ThwartedVillainy mentioned, no. But his presence is wrapped up into the entire RD1 story. John learned from Arthur that family is all that matters, and sometimes you have to sacrifice it all for them. Arthur also gave John the chance to enjoy a life that so few outlaws got to experience, if only for a short time
Casey Jones Including Spotify, I have yet to find a musical platform that has an official rdr2 soundtrack to listen to or purchase. If Rockstar ever plans to release it, I would be willing to buy it in a heartbeat as well. Perhaps they’ll do it once they have rdr online up and running. 🤞🏼
@@stevemiller42 Check Rockstars Twitter, they tweeted that the soundtrack would be coming soon around the time of the game coming out. Instant buy for me too
My cousin was a massive rdr fan he died 4 days ago and this is the song he listened to the most so we played it at his funeral today and here i am RIP Isaac your the brother i never had
I got goosebumps watching the old John Marston attire debut; the first RDR was and is one of my favorite games of all time, but RDR2... I gotta say Arthur showed me such humanity that by the end I found myself tearing up on 3 separate occasions. And that is why I have to admit that in this rare case, the sequel was better than the original ride through Armadillo.
This is one of my favorite moments in the game. After so long of stuff going wrong, it feels like john is gonna fix his life and things are finally looking up
This was my favorite song of the game. As it came on when John is riding it was a good but sad vibe knowing what happens to him and Arthur is gone. They were good men in a cruel world I know it’s just a game but it was a damn good one. Maybe it’s cause I can relate I’m not sure.
They weren't good men though. That's the real beauty of these games. We are rooting for horrible men who are trying to change. But in the end both were evil because they grew up in a cruel world.
The realistic thing about red dead is it's portrayal of morality. Most often in life things are grey, not black or white. Other games and stories have accomplished this as well to some degree but red dead nails it imo. You DO play as "bad" men. In context to the narrative of the story and it's characters, a life of crime was all they knew in a country that was already unforgiving and lawless at the time. At the very least the frontier and western territories were hard living where most resorted to crime while living amongst an already small population that struggled everyday with law abiding duties. That does not justify they're actions but instead compel them. In the end, Arthur and John repent from the lives they lived and realized what they've done is wrong and therefore try to make things whole and right they're wrongs. In doing so they redeem themselves. They find redemption for the lives they lived, however insignificant that may or may not be. So one could argue that they are good men indeed. What makes a man good? Doing what is right? What if I kill a man to protect my family? Was I right to take the mans life? Or steal a fish to feed my child? Was I right to steal the fish? Proverbs 24:16 For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
SPOILER WARNING Possibly the saddest part of the game is when Arthur's says to his horse at the end of his story "Thank you" as its dying, that hit me deep.
[Chorus] Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone [Verse 1] This big ol' world sure got me running 'round I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down" And with the moonlight as my guide And with this feeling deep inside I know now that I am homeward bound [Chorus] Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Desert roads, desert plains I have seen so much pain Now I see into the eyes of a girl No more, no more, cruel world [Chorus] Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Dusty trail, saw vapor light Was it a mirage? I don't know, but it seemed right I felt mission, I felt trust I knew then that I must Must go to her from this cruel world [Chorus] Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Got straight chills when I heard this song in game. The events that preceded it didn't truly hit me until this song was played for that ride. Thank you so much for posting such a great sounding version.
Yeah the Pronghorn Ranch "arc" kinda sucked, especially the mission where you raid the other farm. But the ride into Blackwater to buy Beecher's Hope is one of my all-time favorite moments from any work of fiction.
You know my son he's 6yrs and he seen me cry when Arthur and his horse died im not ashamed of it I did cry . Every night no lie when we say our prayers he says good night Arthur i love you. Love that kid
When this plays in RDR 2 it was one of the best gaming moments I've experienced in a long, long time. And right after John walks out of his cabin in his RDR 1 outfit and you hear the little music sting from the first game. HOLY SHIT this game is so good.
I played the game, and I became so attached to Arthur, that when he did tuberculosis, I looked everywhere in the game, how I could cure him, at some point, I gave up, but when I arrived at the mission with Eagle Flies, he gave me herbs , I thought maybe he was saving him somehow. RIP Arthur Morgan
Only antibiotics can cure Tuberculosis, and they weren't discovered yet at the time, and the guy who discovered them(Alexander Fleming) was in his early 20s working at a shipping office. The best the herbs could do was ease the pain. Though said disease could re-emerge due to superbugs, but we still have phages, who are very efficient at killing bacteria.
The epilogue chapter where John leaves Proghorn and builds Beachers hope is one of my favorite. Killing Micah at the end was just the cherry on top. Atleast Arthur's sacrifice gave the Marston family another decade to live, but like John says "Nothing gets forgotten"
This song was sung so wonderfully by Mr nelson. Riding on my horse and enjoying nature I was just swepped away with a feeling of relief and happiness i wish I could relive it.
When this song started playing, I swear it was the greatest moment in gaming history for me. Galloping through the woods to Willy Nelson. There is and never will be a more beautiful and more pure moment of my gaming life.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized "That's damn Willie Nelson!" And I was happy all my sadness I'd felt before just disappeared not gone but for that moment I felt good. This is a classic game I will remember for a damn long time just like I did for the first Red Dead Redemption.
I heard it at first and then said “hold up I recognise that voice” and sure enough it was Willie Nelson. I was so happy, Willie Nelson is one of the greatest ever.
Psionic B Willie Nelson is one of those Classic Country Singers that posses the ability to make you feel “happily sad” and they will never exist again.
Seriously I can’t put into words what a masterpiece of popular culture this game is. The music, story, characters. The ability it has to make you laugh and cry is unreal. A true masterpiece. Just finished my second play through since release, cried like a baby again. Love it.
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too long Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone This big ol' world sure got me running 'round I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down" And with the moonlight as my guide And with this feeling deep inside I know now that I am homeward bound Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too long Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone Desert rose, desert plain I have seen so much pain Now I see into the eyes of a girl No more, no more, cruel world Cruel, cruel world, must I go on? Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on I've been living too fast And I've been living too wrong Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
A masterpiece of a game in every possible way. The gameplay is phenomenal, and the writing is on the same level as Metal Gear. I miss being able to swim without drowning in 2 seconds in this game.
This is the exact reference I had for my feelings here. As soon as this part came on I got this feeling I haven’t had since playing something like MGS3
This is the first game I’ve played where the story actually messed me up. After Arthur’s death, when John rides off to get the loan for the ranch, and this started playing, I honestly cried.
It really is. Knowing that whatever you decide to do in the game, no matter how many people you save, how much money you make, how much you build up your camp and keep morale high... it's all for nothing in the end. It's all a sham.
My dog of 9 years passed away yesterday and my dad said for some reason he said this song was playing in his head as we buried or friend. Rest in Peace Duke, we’re moving on for you buddy
There’s another clean version of this song on TH-cam put them both on a playlist and nothin else and put the playlist on repeat and they’ll play all night I’m a mobile user and this is what I did haha
Hosea and Arthur are picking mangoes in Tahiti, and Lenny and Sean are drinking. Miss Grimshaw’s there with Kieran and Hamish is fishing by the ocean. And Buell is there too. That’s heaven.
I can relate to this song so much, as I'm sure alot of you fellow gamers can. Thank you rockstar for blessing us with one of the biggest masterpieces ever made. Outlaws forever.
I didn't cry at the ending, but there's a couple spots in the epilogue where they talk about Arthur in the past tense. THAT got me. That was a HORRIBLE feeling. I spent all that time with him and died with him... and then not a SECOND later, it's just right into this new story, YEARS later. Like Arthur was a side character in his own death, and the world just instantly and rapidly moved on without him and hearing him talked about in such a casual way. It was like seeing my own loved ones talk about me after I was dead, but I could somehow still witness it. Maybe I'm just in midlife crisis mode. This type of thing never bothered me until recently.
My grandfather died today. He was 72 and really liked the wild west. We used to watch bonanza together, he played some of this game but never finished it. He traveled to world and had a full life. I wish i could just talk to him one more time
This song reminds me about the first time I played RDR2. Although it plays around the end of the game, when I listen to it, I get a sensation and remember what it was like opening this game and playing it, and I haven’t gotten that feeling playing a new game since then. Such a fresh, crisp, and overall great game. Had a blast playing it and am still having fun, having gotten every achievement for it and 100% completion. There’s always something more to discover. If there is any game that deserves game of the year/decade, it’s this one. Amazing character development, story, and everything else.
Most favorite game, finished it 3 times and never gets old, i cry everytime everyone died especially Arthur 😢 love the songs they picked out for this game too
When this song started playing I tried my hardest not to hit anything while I was just galloping around and I can proudly say I hit nothing and I heard this song all the way to the end
My grandfather was a country dude. Cowboy type he kept and trained western pleasure horses. Always watched westerns, read novels. I wish he could have seen this game.
My elder cat passed away right around the time I hand finished this game - around the time I had heard this song. It had made me happy to hear her cries for life with this song. Her acceptance. My acceptance. She’s a lovely little lady. ❤️
For anyone interested, throw a capo on third fret and play bluesy variants of D, A, and G. Just pick around the regular major chords till it sounds bluesy like Willie and there ya go, merry Christmas.
2 songs that just bring a smile to my face: Building a House, and this song. The reasons, building a house as John Marston made Arthur's trials and sacrifices feel worth it...and this song, because it just felt so damn good to see that familiar John Marston riding again, hitting that dusty trail with John Marston is just one of those things that brings me joy.
I kept the same horse the entire story. It was the horse you buy in one of the story missions early on. It sucked amazingly at speed and maneuverability but it was my baby. I played the story for over a month, on and off. I developed a special connection with him. RIP Constantine.
After the absolute rollercoaster of a story you’ve just been through with a sad ending; then just riding back to Blackwater with John in the epilogue whilst this music plays. This part definitely hit home for me.
amen...thats the point...love the way all this guys(the ones who made the game) make you feel like living in a Sam Peckinpah movie...but after all the suffer and struggle comes Willie..and hope at last...masterpiece...
Thank you for this, i know i'm not the only one who lost someone in 2018 but my pa passed in October 2018 and he loved classic stuff like this we used to drive in the country and when i saw this song i couldn't help but cry this song brings back the good memories thank you
It’s so crazy how we all get attached to a fictional character like this... goes to show how amazing this game is. rip Arthur Morgan. rip John Marston. rip the van der Linde gang

Arthur chose loyalty to Dutch instead of doing what he really wanted and running away with Mary.... Cruel. Cruel. World.
Arthur chose loyalty to his family, not Dutch. He had people he needed to take care of.
He had everyone safe that was left, he went back for Dutch to tell him about Micah when he could've just walked away. He still kept faith in Dutch to the very end.
I think the best way to put it would be that he wanted to have more faith in Dutch than he did at the end. But he never gave up on him.
KidLouu I mean...Arthur deserved better than Mary, Abigail would never treat John like she did with Arthur (by that I mean she wouldn’t abuse him and “play “ with his feelings
Artur's last words to Dutch were "I gave you everything I had".

Here's to hoping we get another chapter in this epic story.
Hopefully in the past where you play as Dutch and get to see the formation of the van der Linde gang. The story starts in 1878 when you meet Hosea and then it finishes in 1899 at the botched Blackwater ferry job we heard so much about in both games.

All I heard was the beginning of this song because as soon as it started playing I got attacked by a dog, ending the song. That was pretty cruel.
What a cruel cruel world
“🎶Cruel Cruel World, I- OH FUCK, AHHHHHHH”
I didn't shave as John at all for the first part of the epilogue so when he got into his outfit I instantly returned to shave and look more like the OG Marston, but that ended the song as soon as the words "Cruel cruel world" were sung. I fucked up.
My first experience with "That's the Way It Is" was interrupted by Arthur veering off path into a river. The music immediately halted... as did all of his flashbacks, memories and thoughts of the people in his life; one of the most emotional, if not THE most emotional moment in the game, and it just got cut off. I knew I was missing something, so I reloaded an auto-save and did the last mission with Sadie a second time. I'm so glad I did.
Nathan R Jeez that’s even worse, that ruins the entire emotional moment

Lots of games I play stick with me. But this game, and everything about it, will stick with me till the end. This game, for some reason, had just had a huge impact on me, more than most games. Truly, a masterpiece, and proof that video games really can be art.
LHCabela, Agreed.
No one can make a game like rockstar.
Not only is it packed with content no paying for dlc’s or expansions, beautiful graphics and amazing emotion packed stories.
This game is everything to me and the community I hope this game will never be forgotten.
Same with me. It was a beautiful game and so well written. I was insanely sad when it ended.
LHCabela same this game never gets old it’s been almost a year and I’m still having fun with this game
It takes the best of every art form in existence and rolls into one mega experience. It is high art, just as the voice actor of Dutch believes as well

How long have you been searching for him?
@@johnmarston6558 Too long. If you see a guy called Edgar Ross just run in the other direction.
I ran into Nigel in 1907 as John. He looked very bad and disheveled. I hogtied him and looted him. The letter from Tom to Nigel helps explain what probably happened to Gavin. Poor Nigel, the chap's gone daft.
Arthur Morgan was born a legend and died a legend and so did his horse
And yet, he wasn't mentioned once in RDR1. I guess legends fade quickly.
@@ThwartedVillainy your jealous
@@ThwartedVillainy you must be a O'Driscoll
ThwartedVillainy mentioned, no. But his presence is wrapped up into the entire RD1 story. John learned from Arthur that family is all that matters, and sometimes you have to sacrifice it all for them. Arthur also gave John the chance to enjoy a life that so few outlaws got to experience, if only for a short time

Nick Braet there’s an unclean version?
@@DAVChannell He's meaning there is no dialogue or horse hoofsteps in this one.
Yes thanks indeed, I looked for a clean version for like two months
I had tears rolling down my face as I played and this song accompanied John back on the road.
I got goosebumps watching the old John Marston attire debut; the first RDR was and is one of my favorite games of all time, but RDR2... I gotta say Arthur showed me such humanity that by the end I found myself tearing up on 3 separate occasions. And that is why I have to admit that in this rare case, the sequel was better than the original ride through Armadillo.
The sick ride, the horse and Arthur's death? :( 3 times for me too brother..
Can’t swim, can’t herd.
But armadillo is so dead in RDR 2 and online, nothing like RDR 1 armadillo
Mate, i've never had to cry and play a game at the same time, the last mission of ch.6, was a weird experience to say the least

This is one of my favorite moments in the game. After so long of stuff going wrong, it feels like john is gonna fix his life and things are finally looking up
Only for it all to crash...
and then he fucking dies 2 years later
@@funkyoa four years later (epilogue 1907) , RDR1 is 1911
This was my favorite song of the game. As it came on when John is riding it was a good but sad vibe knowing what happens to him and Arthur is gone. They were good men in a cruel world
I know it’s just a game but it was a damn good one. Maybe it’s cause I can relate I’m not sure.
They weren't good men though. That's the real beauty of these games. We are rooting for horrible men who are trying to change. But in the end both were evil because they grew up in a cruel world.
Androidbrotherhood1 good men in a cruel world. That’s all. They weren’t horrible men
The storyline is the best I’ve ever seen in a video game.
It IS because you can relate. It's a testament to how good the story is and it's characters. I feel the same way friend :)
The realistic thing about red dead is it's portrayal of morality. Most often in life things are grey, not black or white. Other games and stories have accomplished this as well to some degree but red dead nails it imo. You DO play as "bad" men. In context to the narrative of the story and it's characters, a life of crime was all they knew in a country that was already unforgiving and lawless at the time. At the very least the frontier and western territories were hard living where most resorted to crime while living amongst an already small population that struggled everyday with law abiding duties. That does not justify they're actions but instead compel them. In the end, Arthur and John repent from the lives they lived and realized what they've done is wrong and therefore try to make things whole and right they're wrongs. In doing so they redeem themselves. They find redemption for the lives they lived, however insignificant that may or may not be. So one could argue that they are good men indeed. What makes a man good? Doing what is right? What if I kill a man to protect my family? Was I right to take the mans life? Or steal a fish to feed my child? Was I right to steal the fish?
Proverbs 24:16
For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
SPOILER WARNING
Possibly the saddest part of the game is when Arthur's says to his horse at the end of his story "Thank you" as its dying, that hit me deep.

Got straight chills when I heard this song in game. The events that preceded it didn't truly hit me until this song was played for that ride. Thank you so much for posting such a great sounding version.
Yeah the Pronghorn Ranch "arc" kinda sucked, especially the mission where you raid the other farm. But the ride into Blackwater to buy Beecher's Hope is one of my all-time favorite moments from any work of fiction.
You know my son he's 6yrs and he seen me cry when Arthur and his horse died im not ashamed of it I did cry . Every night no lie when we say our prayers he says good night Arthur i love you. Love that kid
Willie Nelson died!

"GET OUTTA THE DAMN WAY"
Jim Lahey BAHAHA every time he said that my mom would ask why he’s so rude
“ARTHUR!! Dumbass!!”
When this plays in RDR 2 it was one of the best gaming moments I've experienced in a long, long time. And right after John walks out of his cabin in his RDR 1 outfit and you hear the little music sting from the first game. HOLY SHIT this game is so good.
RossardJames holy shit I didn’t notice that till now. This game is legendary
I played the game, and I became so attached to Arthur, that when he did tuberculosis, I looked everywhere in the game, how I could cure him, at some point, I gave up, but when I arrived at the mission with Eagle Flies, he gave me herbs , I thought maybe he was saving him somehow. RIP Arthur Morgan
Tuberculosis was a death sentence in 1899, like getting cancer. The point is that modern vaccines save lives.
damn Biscuit so did I I was really hoping it would help but when Arthur had that last ride I knew his time was coming and I started tearing up
Only antibiotics can cure Tuberculosis, and they weren't discovered yet at the time, and the guy who discovered them(Alexander Fleming) was in his early 20s working at a shipping office.
The best the herbs could do was ease the pain.
Though said disease could re-emerge due to superbugs, but we still have phages, who are very efficient at killing bacteria.
TB back then = stage 4 cancer today
But in the end everyone from 1899 is dead now, both fictional and real. And we'll all be dead before long, too. Leave a mark while you're here!
rockstar seriously needs to add a Willie stranger mission
RDR2 is the best game ever
No, Red Dead Redemption is... RDR2 is just a nice companion to it.
You're mad if you think the 1st is still better. Lolol
Not ever... so far.
Chris P. Bacon story wise rdr1 is better but gameplay wise rdr2 is better
Jason Parker one of the best. The last of us is the best game ever
The epilogue chapter where John leaves Proghorn and builds Beachers hope is one of my favorite. Killing Micah at the end was just the cherry on top. Atleast Arthur's sacrifice gave the Marston family another decade to live, but like John says "Nothing gets forgotten"
i think he said “nothing gets forgiven”
thats why he died,he payed for his sins
I keep thinking about Jack working in Beacher's hope while Arthur and John reincarnated as birds watch
He's not working there anymore. Jack's on the run for killing a famous detective
I hope we get a DLC as Jack and see him with a family in Tahiti as a writer.
@@publordcorgi5059 i think the story is sort if an endless cycle of becoming an outlaw and not being abke ti escape that,

When this song started playing, I swear it was the greatest moment in gaming history for me. Galloping through the woods to Willy Nelson. There is and never will be a more beautiful and more pure moment of my gaming life.
Yes yes yes
You're alright, boah 🤠
Fell off my horse and got mauled by a bear before the song was a quarter through

What a cruel,cruel world.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized "That's damn Willie Nelson!" And I was happy all my sadness I'd felt before just disappeared not gone but for that moment I felt good. This is a classic game I will remember for a damn long time just like I did for the first Red Dead Redemption.
That was my reaction. I knew him immediately. It was a happy/sad feeling for sure. A legend singing the ballad for the old gunslinger. RIP Arthur.
Yep
I heard it at first and then said “hold up I recognise that voice” and sure enough it was Willie Nelson. I was so happy, Willie Nelson is one of the greatest ever.
Psionic B Willie Nelson is one of those Classic Country Singers that posses the ability to make you feel “happily sad” and they will never exist again.
Seriously I can’t put into words what a masterpiece of popular culture this game is. The music, story, characters. The ability it has to make you laugh and cry is unreal. A true masterpiece. Just finished my second play through since release, cried like a baby again. Love it.

The depressing ones are bright and flashy and upbeat, because your brain knows they're full of sh*t. Give me real or give me death.
Then Dont play Spec Ops - The Line friend kkkk
but also one of the most beautiful and awesome. the power of art is strong in this game. lots of emotions and feelings in its world, story and music.
You should try Shadow of the Colossus. It's oppressively nihilistic with very little dialogue
It really is. Knowing that whatever you decide to do in the game, no matter how many people you save, how much money you make, how much you build up your camp and keep morale high... it's all for nothing in the end. It's all a sham.
Best story of any game ever. Nobody will ever change my mind on that.

I didn't cry at the ending, but there's a couple spots in the epilogue where they talk about Arthur in the past tense.
THAT got me. That was a HORRIBLE feeling. I spent all that time with him and died with him... and then not a SECOND later, it's just right into this new story, YEARS later.
Like Arthur was a side character in his own death, and the world just instantly and rapidly moved on without him and hearing him talked about in such a casual way.
It was like seeing my own loved ones talk about me after I was dead, but I could somehow still witness it.
Maybe I'm just in midlife crisis mode. This type of thing never bothered me until recently.

Same. I actually rode just quickly enough for the song to finish, just as I exited the forest and Valentine appeared in the distance. It was perfect.
Same, I went into cinematic mode for a bit and enjoyed a nice ride to Valentine. The song ended right as I entered the town, it was pretty perfect.

This song hits me not only because of RDR2, but because of the lyrics, like it's all so alike to my life story, thank you rockstar for leading me here
I kept the same horse the entire story. It was the horse you buy in one of the story missions early on. It sucked amazingly at speed and maneuverability but it was my baby. I played the story for over a month, on and off. I developed a special connection with him. RIP Constantine.
